Quiet nature cabin on the beautiful Marengo River

COVID-19 NOTICE: Our cabin is a great place to get away from the crowds and have outdoor adventures! We follow cleaning and operations guidance released by the Bayfield County Health Department, State of Wisconsin, and the CDC. The nearest health care facility to the cabin is Memorial Medical Center in Ashland, a small hospital with a full emergency room, 30 minutes away by car. The cabin has no landline phone or internet and little cell service (emergency calls should work, but no guarantees). We encourage you to get fully vaccinated before traveling to the area and follow safe masking and social distancing protocols when in public areas.

PHOTO UPDATES COMING SOON! Amenities not shown in current photos include large outdoor fire pit in yard, new clothes washer and dryer, larger and lower dining table (great for kids!), and newer art on the walls.

Relax and enjoy the north woods of Wisconsin from your private two bedroom retreat offering a full bath, screened in porch and complete kitchen. This cute, year round cabin is the perfect place for relaxing. Whether you spend time watching the river flow by, stargazing on crystal clear nights, entertaining friends around a campfire, or taking on more strenuous activities like skiing, snowshoeing, swimming, trout fishing, hiking, and berry picking, this 900 sq. ft. cabin provides a comforting retreat from hectic day-to-day life.

The cabin’s simple layout combines the 16×12 living room with the 15×12 kitchen & dining area. There are 2 carpeted bedrooms and a full bath. The 16×10, 3-season porch adds more living space from spring through fall, including delightful "overflow" sleeping quarters.

Enjoy three lushly wooded acres, your piece of forest heaven, adjacent to the 400-acre Lincoln Community Forest. The large, level backyard contains a big stone fire pit and a couple of hammock-hanging trees. Dry firewood, a charcoal grill, and charcoal are provided.

A gentle, mowed slope leads down to a shallow entry spot on the Marengo river, a DNR-designated trout stream. The rocky river bottom slopes down to a great swimming hole in gentle current just upstream, and riffles downstream. Water shoes are recommended.

Just across the road from the cabin is the main trailhead for 3.5 miles of groomed cross-country skiing and rugged hiking trails in the Lincoln Community Forest, a nonprofit-managed forest property. The LCF is open to public hunting, fishing, non-motorized trail use, and trapping. Forest access is free for all users.

Close by are many popular recreation spots and hidden gems in and around the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. It's a 15-minute drive to the very popular Morgan Falls and St. Peter's Dome trail and half an hour to Copper Falls State Park. Other nearby gems include the Porcupine Lake Wilderness, Rainbow Lakes Wilderness, Lakes Owen and Namekagon (public recreation areas with beaches), St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, and dozens of miles of ski and mountain bike trails in the Drummond, Rock Lake, North End, and Birkie trail networks.

Spend a day (or five!) hiking through wilderness on the North Country National Scenic Trail, or head half an hour's drive north to relax in the cool breeze of Chequamegon Bay and take in the shops and restaurants in Ashland, the closest big town with all the services and home to the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center. A further 35 minutes takes you to Bayfield, the Madeline Island ferry, and the gateway to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

There is little cell service and no internet at the cabin. There is no landline available. There was public WiFi at Four Corners Saloon, about a 15 minute drive, but the Saloon is closing and this may no longer be available.

Delightfully Perfect
A quiet little rustic cabin in a perfect location! Right on the ATV trails so we could ride right from the driveway. Peaceful nights by the fire with the sounds of the babbling river right there. No WiFi forced our teens to be present which was amazing!! Over all an outstanding stay that exceeded our expectations. We are already planning when we can go back.

This little cabin is no frills and exactly what we were looking for. No internet, no phone service, and no tv (other than dvd's and vhs tapes) it was like stepping back in time to before everyone became tethered to technology. The quiet of the woods, and the relaxing sounds of the babbling curtent of the river was amazing.

Perfect relaxing landing spot
Where to begin? Zee has been amazing with communication ( even going through a very hard time) and she was willing to accommodate our needs which made the vacation possible. We were a little nervous being out of service range but it a short drive to get enough for a quick society update or check the weather. We loved the location because we could venture a couple hours both ways and hit all kinds of great spots from Duluth and the north shore to the Porcupine Mts. The cabin is clean and has more than you could imagine you would need. The stars at night were amazing and a short drive to more open fields for full few. Gravel roads but we managed just fine in a car. We would definitely book again and check out some of the more local spots! Will be recommending to friends too! Thank you for giving us a much needed perfect vacation. If you are looking into it just book you won't regret it!!

Absolutely loved the cabin! Host was very informative and gave great instructions and directions. Close because it was dog friendly, but we didn’t notice any signs of previous dogs in there. Beautiful, secluded setting. If you are dependent on internet, not the place for you but if you want to get away from it all, it is perfect! Plan on going back again and making it an annual girls getaway!

Relaxation at its finest
The cabin was exactly what we were looking for. We rode our SxS to Lake Superior, down to Hayward, up to Iron River, up to Ashland and all around. The cabin was comfy and contained everything we needed and more. They put a lot of time and thought into what is needed and surpassed our expectations. Check in was easy and check out was straightforward and simple. They had lots of things for us to do and use to make the most of our trip. We were able to unplug and relax, yet were not far from good food and other necessities. I look forward to staying again, in the future. Thank for a great weekend getaway!

Amazing time at beautiful cabin
This cabin and property had everything our group of 4 needed for a relaxing and adventure-filled stay. There was clearly so much care put into making the cabin inviting for everyone, from all the activities to the organization of all of the necessities. The stream and surrounding woods were stunning and we adored exploring the area of the property and the nearby community forest. Thank you so much for opening your lovely cabin up for others!

Cute but not clean
The cabin is very cute and the location is lovely. However, it is not clean and several things needed repair. It is a drive to get to anywhere but we enjoyed the secluded feel. A little TLC and this cabin could be a 5 star.

Perfect getaway
My two adult daughters and I came to the area for a short girls vacation. We thought the area was so beautiful. The cabin was perfect for us! We loved it! We all enjoy being more secluded in the woods than staying in crowded towns or campgrounds. I was so pleased with the location. Definitely a very peaceful secluded natural setting that we enjoyed. We loved relaxing by the river and the campfire every night. (We had trouble finding firewood nearby, and do recommend they stock more even if they charge per bundle or something, we figured we would drive by firewood for sale but often never saw any close enough). There is so much to do in that area, 3 days was not enough time to do all we wanted. I plan to come back and will definitely stay in the cabin again. I loved it.

Second Timers
This is the second year we stayed in this cabin for Memorial Day weekend and we just love it. It’s very secluded and unplugged, which is just what we were looking for. The check in/out process is very easy and the cabin itself is nice and cozy and the perfect size to accommodate our group size. We noticed some updates to the cabin from last year to this year, which was nice to see. Due to the location being in the river, the mosquitos are terrible, so come prepared for that and you’re good to go! The river was extremely clean and you could see the bottom, so it was perfect to cool off in! Would recommend.

Exactly what we wanted
We couldn’t have picked a more fitting place if we tried. This is a cabin in the middle of the woods with no cell reception or internet. Perfect place for our family to connect and make memories. We had our young children and our almost 80 year old grand parents and it was suitable for everyone. Everything was well labeled and had written instructions. We were worried about how warm it would be end of November but there was very sufficient heating. This place is perfect for year round fun. We will definitely be back and we are so glad that the owners share this little slice of heaven with others!

A nice getaway
We really loved the location and property of the cabin! We spent as much time as we could outside! There were many guides inside of the cabin to help us with traveling around the area. Note that there is a road nearby called “Marengo LAKE Rd”, the GPS took us there instead and we were temporarily confused! So be careful that the address is correct on the GPS when arriving!

A great place to get away!
We wanted a place that was not with a bunch of neighbors to have some alone time together, and this cabin fit the bill perfectly. The owner was very responsive before our stay, and we didn’t need anything while we were there. The only reason I gave only 4 stars for cleanliness is that it is clearly an older cabin that has some older dust, lol. Everything that is reasonably to be cleaned was spotless, but if you are looking for a crisp new space, this is not for you, this space is well lived in and well cared for. I would expect that we will be back in the future when we want to unplug and get away again.

Love this place for it's close access to the forest and lakes of the Chequamegon. plenty of quite and solitude with the Marengo River bubbling away in the background. Easy to find and the host was great. Nice layout in the cabin, the bed was super comfortable after a long day of fishing and hiking. Would definitely return!
