🔴 PROPERTY SUMMARY 🔴

🔹Both cabins sit elevated and offset from the water about 60 yards, so your view from the cabin's are overlooking the water, bluffs and driftless region.

🔸Our 6 acre property sits on the Bad Axe River, also known as a "Class 1" trout stream. The spacious layout of amenities is ideal for families, groups, fishermen, outdoorsman, adventure seekers, or homebodies in need of a getaway

🔹A short one minute walk from the cabin to the river will give you access to swim, fish, and launch the kayaks or tubes. We do not offer transportation back to the property, but there is a public pick up point 2 miles down the river for kayaker's or tubers to get out of the water safely to drive back to the property.

🔸Along the river we have 215 feet of frontage to fish, take a dip, play fetch with the dog, or just sit in peace as the water flows downstream. In the large grassy area, we have an 8 seat fire pit, and other seating area to soak in the sights and sounds of nature.

🔹In the large grassy area, we have a 3 hole disc golf "course", a football, soccer ball, can jam, corn hole, and ball toss.

🔸Headed back to the cabins, you'll find a hang out area on the back side of the big cabin where you can relax in our 6 person sauna. Be aware the sauna can take up to 40 min to get to 170-185 °F depending on the time of year.

🔹Each cabin has its own fire pit area and charcoal grill (Charcoal is not provided during your stay).

🔸Both cabin kitchens are fully stocked so you can cook independently if you choose.

🔹Families will have access to a pack n play, high chair and kids dinnerware in each cabin.

Quiet hideaway in the perfect location for exploring the Driftless region for a short getaway with the family. Nice set of cabins that were comfortable and well appointed for cooking and hanging out.
