Partner? Karen!

Karen and Dave have been building cabins in the woods of Canada for 42 years of their terrific 49 year marriage. This one is the result of his building and designing those and 17 houses and 2 churches. They have lived in the Canadian bush for many years as Dave did his business thing. Now you get the result of that experience. This property was picked because it is wild yet <1.5 hours from the Twin Cities and those incredible grandchildren. If you don't like the woods and a little roughing it (with a few high-end features) you'll miss the point of this very unique place in the Wisconsin outback.JIC we now have Internet and WiFI for your cell phone connection assurance.

You might be lucky to see one of our local friendly bears. They usually stay away too much to be seen but so far several of our guest have seen them walking through our property. Hike with Karen and our Golden Retriever, Cooper, to learn and experience more or get us to help you with the bonfire. You might hear some stories from decades of adventure and almost 50 years of marriage if invited ...OR just hole up and we'll leave you alone to create your adventures on this crafty use of a stunning site.
