About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

Comfy and Charming

We loved this little cabin--it was one of the most comfortable places we've rented. The place was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The property is a very quiet area. It was raining like crazy when we were there so we didn't take a lot of deck time, but the lakeside was beautiful. I would rent here again.

Time to unwind

Cabin had everything we needed to compliment our stay. Owners were very quick to respond with answers to our questions. If you want to unwind and relax, this is for you. Cable is close by and well worth a visit.
There were 5 swans in the lake, beautiful to watch.

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.

Beautiful, restful get-away

This is a lovely, spacious, clean get-away. It's located in a nice area to enjoy the Northwoods in any direction. The cabin is well equipped with all the necessities of home, including a comfortable bed.We enjoyed traveling to see the elk at Clam Lake. We saw 3 bears and numerours other wildlife on our travels. The waterfalls are nice as are the communities around.Terry and Le are great hosts and communicators.Unfortunately, the fishing wasn't as good as we had hoped, but overall, we had a wonderful time!

House was nice, clean, comfortable. Close to ATV trails and town. Wifi didn't work when we were there. Also there is another house *right there* which I didnt anticipate. Both issues not that big of a deal, but just something to be aware of. I am a super private person, so the house next door was a little disappointing, but it was rainy and we didnt spend much time outside. Overall we had a good experience.
