Perfect Retreat
Our stay at the Cabin was perfect. It is a well-appointed log cabin. Very comfortable, property is fantastic. Dana was very responsive and although we did not have any issues, I am certain they would have been addressed quickly. We could not have asked for a better place for our weekend getaway. Would highly recommend this cabin in the woods.

Wonderful log cabin!
This cabin worked out perfect for our relaxing winter weekend getaway. We were super happy with everything, loved the rustic feel of the cabin. It has a very remote and quiet feel but in a quick 5 minute drive you can be enjoying things in downtown Spooner. The location was perfect for us. Would love to return in the summer!

Nice Place for a Getaway
My wife and I brought our 2 kids and 2 friends of theirs, as well as our 2 dogs. The 2 teen boys loved the basement area to hang out and play video games to wind down, and the rest of us enjoyed the outside areas during the day and the common area inside at night, playing card games after a fire. The cabin is well kept and clean, and it is situated in a secluded, wooded area, but close enough to town for quick trips to get supplies or a visit to the local brewery. Utensils and dishes are well stocked, and the indoor griddle was great for cooking up big breakfasts. The dogs had plenty of room to roam with the surrounding trails, and there are couple of spots to sit and enjoy the view of the river…especially with a cup of coffee in the morning. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, and Dana is a great host.

Rustic Cabin on the River
This cabin worked well for our group this past weekend. There was room for everyone to sleep and relax. The firepit area was enjoyable to hang out around. Overall is was a great place to stay. One thing I overlooked was that there was no Air Conditioning.

Great Location!
Loved the river and the canoes/kayaks provided. It was pretty damp so it was great to be able to have a little indoor fire for the little kid with us who really wanted to roast a marshmellow. Lots of puzzles/games/movies etc and the kitchen is really well stocked. Beautiful spot with the fall colors. We had a great time!
