About this property

The fishing is great! Trails are close by. Enjoy summer in the Northwoods!

Located in the heart of one of the largest trail systems in the US. Five miles from the town of Cable. Close to 3 Birkie trailheads: OO, Boedecker and Birkie Ridge. This cabin is located on a snowmobile/ATV route. Ski and bike tuning facilities provided in the sports room off the screened in porch. Enjoy the view of Pacwawong Springs (from the cabin or dock)- a waterfowl migration area with a pair of Trumpeter Swans here most of the year. The screened in porch is a great place to eat or read and not deal with bugs. There is a gas firepit and a large deck.

Short getaway

My partner and I stayed there for 3 nights in the middle of April. The cabin was very cozy, and the location was in the middle of a little bit of everything. Our favorite things were the screened in porch and the convince of the canoe.

Relaxing and quiet

It was a very nicely updated place. We were able to sleep with the windows open and there were no sounds around to wake us until the swans started splashing around in the morning.

Anniversary destination

For our 30th anniversary, my husband and I stayed at this very comfortable, attractive cabin. We enjoyed relaxing down on the pier, reading on the porch, and grilling out when we weren't exploring the many beautiful waterfalls within easy drives. If ever back in the area, we would definitely try to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Le Sedlacek and Terry Dahmen

Host profile image
We retired from our respective careers: Le as a nurse practitioner in neurology and Terry from municipal park and grounds maintenance. We decided to move farther north in Wisconsin to start a vacation rental business. We both love hosting. The ample opportunity for multiple outdoor summer and winter sports keeps us loving the area.

Why they chose this property

The log cabin has served as the perfect area for respite from daily life or the place to have easy access to multiple trail heads. Our guests have loved the ability to disconnect.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful-no motor boats on the lake. Gigantic white and red pine trees. Town is just 5 miles away if you need groceries or other basics.
