More than just a cabin, this spacious 3,000 sq. ft. home is located on a small private lake in the Richland Center area. The Sylvan Cabin at Mill Creek Cabins features antique décor, locally sourced materials, and handmade wooden furniture that give it the warm, rustic feel you expect from a cabin. The main floor is well lit by the large picture windows overlooking the water. The open floor plan leaves no shortage of space for entertaining on the main floor. If you do find yourself needing more space a second living room is located on the ground level!
The full kitchen includes a large rustic farm-style table, fridge, freezer, microwave, oven, and coffee maker are available for your use. Cupboards are stocked with all the pots, pans, silverware, and utensils you might need. The master bedroom is in the loft and features a king-sized bed and a private bathroom. On the main level, there are two queen-sized bedrooms that share the main bathroom. The bottom level has a living room, kitchenette, bathroom, door leading outside, and two more bedrooms. One with a full size bed and twin bed with a twin trundle bed, and another with a twin over full bunk bed and a twin trundle bed.
Build a sandcastle, catch some rays on the beach, paddle around on the paddleboat or take a dip in fresh flowing water! The beach and dock are reserved for guests of the Sylvan Cabin only. Pan fish can be kept for a fish fry if you'd like, everything else is catch and release, but public access to a trout stream is located across the road with additional streams just minutes away.
Your escape is closer than you think! The property is located about an hour from Madison, and approximately 3 hours from Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and the Chicago area.

9 seasoned adult (30-63) males on a multi-day fly fishing trip. Plenty of beds for all to sleep solo, lots of room for socializing, sitting around the fire, a little tight for all nine at the dinner table but we made it work.The place has a great fishing and hunting lodge vibe.
The cabin was gorgeous and perfect for getting away. Very clean and beds were quite comfortable. Unfortunately it rained almost the entire weekend, so we were unable to use the firepit or beautiful pond. But we did get to see many squirrels, birds, and deer around the property. It was a perfect getaway minus the weather!

I'm sorry the weather didn't cooperate... I'm glad you had a great time otherwise. Thank you for staying with us!
What a beautiful property- so quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed our time together with our family and had plenty of room to spend time together or spread out. We enjoyed the fire pit and large table for gathering and playing games. We look forward to returning again! The hosts were accessible by email and text and responded quickly to our questions.
We had a blast! The cabin was absolutely beautiful and was perfect for our family. A lot of things to do and we were so comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation spot!
Our family (6 adults and 2 small children) enjoyed a wonderful week staying at the Sylvan cabin in Richland Center. Having plenty of communal and private space was essential, and this property offered it. The cabin and grounds were clean and well-maintained. We appreciated the secluded, quiet scenic setting. We brought kayaks which we utilized on the small pond. Catch and release fishing was done on the dock and from the kayaks. Unfortunately, swimming or beach use was not possible due to algae covering much of the pond. We utilized the large outdoor fire pit a number of times, as well as the gas grill. Our family visited Cave of the Mounds, House on the Rock, an aquatic center and bowling alley in Richland Center, and a local winery and brewery during our stay. Overall, I would highly recommend this property.
We took an extended weekend with 3 other couples. The "cabin" was so spacious that we never felt like there were 8 of us there. Loved the huge fire pit and just sitting on the pier listening to the water.
Had ten dudes here for a weekend for a casual bachelor party. Lots of space to hang out and have a rad time. Beautiful area, and plenty of space to have to ourselves.
Sylvan Cabin was an amazing property. Very clean, beautiful, and peaceful. Brent was always in contact and very helpful through the entire stay! We definitely plan on returning!
This cabin was absolutely wonderful. We loved the entire layout & had lots of fun on the water. Brent was so helpful & answered our many questions promptly. Would love to go back again.
This is the best cabin we have stayed at as a family. The cabin was beautiful, up-to-date and very clean. The property is also very well maintained. We felt like we had privacy and we also felt very safe on the property. We hope to come back some day!
Perfect property for my family. Quiet and secluded yet close enough to civilization to go do just about anything you would want to do. Takes care of those families who have different interests. You have nature and fishing for the sportsman yet the Dells and Madison are only an hour away for the shops and water parks. Lots of small town attractions close by also.
Wow! We rented the cabin for our family Christmas retreat and cannot say enough about our experience! The home was absolutely stunning and the setting on the private pond was beautiful. Brent made sure we had everything we needed and check in/check out was totally seamless. This is a hidden gem! Highly recommend!
