About this property

Lakefront Log Cabin located directly on UTV and snowmobile trails

Welcome to our log cabin on beautiful and crystal clear Island Lake near Barnes, WI! Island Lake is over 50' deep and approximately 60 acres. It is large enough for skiing and tubing but small enough for kayaking and paddle-boarding and doesn't have the heavy boat traffic of a larger lake. The lake is almost all sand-bottom and you can swim or float right from the shore and our dock!

Our outdoor accommodations include a Weber gas grill, swing and picnic table near the lake, a fire-pit and a dining table on the deck overlooking the lake. We have 2 stand-up paddle-boards, a canoe and a paddleboat available for your use. We have a dock available if you would like to bring your own boat or rent a boat and have it delivered to our lake.

Our home is perfect for year-round recreation as it is located directly on a snowmobile/ATV trail and features a huge trailer-friendly circle drive with plenty of parking (and a basketball hoop). The home features heated floors and a wood burning stove on the main level for the cold months and air conditioning for the hot months! We also have a back-up generator should the power ever go out during your stay.

The main floor features complete living facilities including a main floor bedroom with a king bed, a bathroom with a tub and a washer and dryer. Enjoy the gorgeous lake views from the open floor-plan and complete wall of windows and doors to the deck overlooking the lake! The master suite is upstairs and includes a queen bed and large master bath with a separate tub and shower and walk-in closet. The lower level features 2 bedrooms overlooking the lake, a a family/game room with a sleeper sofa, air hockey table, foosball table, dart board, an arcade game and another bathroom with a shower! The first lower level bedroom has a queen bed and the second has a twin over full bunk bed and an additional twin bed. There is new carpet and fresh paint throughout the entire home. Please note that we allow a max of 8 adults with a total max of 12 guests, including children.

Our location is great…Cable, Duluth and Hayward are all within a short drive!! We are an easy drive from the Twin Cities (approximately 3 hours and all on paved roads). We are also not far from Bayfield, where you can hop on a ferry to Madeline Island for a fun day trip! Let me know if you have questions about our location or activities! We would love to share our home with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Please note that I try to accommodate last minute rentals but it is not always possible with our cleaner’s schedule…please send a message (rather than try to book) to inquire if you are trying to book last minute. After your booking is accepted I will email you additional info pertaining to the cabin and surrounding area. We love repeat renters and do offer a discount so message to inquire if you’ve stayed with us before! Thank you!

Fun Birkie weekend getaway

This home was a great place to stay for the Birkie weekend. The home was clean and comfortable with a kitchen that worked well for preparing meals. The location was 1/2 way between Cable and Hayward, which worked wonderfully for getting skiers to and from their various race starts and finishes. Would recommend staying here!

Great stay at this beautiful cabin!

We had a wonderful stay here and enjoyed everything about our experience. The kids liked the downstairs area and the adults enjoyed being upstairs. The kitchen had a lot of thoughtful items so we didn't have to bring along a lot in that area besides food. We would definitely stay again! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

Wonderful property setting

The house was perfect for our group of 6 guys on a ATV/side x side trip. The home was well furnished with supplies and kitchen items. Beautiful view of the lake through the large bank of windows/doors and deck area. Ample parking for 3-4 trucks with trailers. House provides open concept for gathering in dining room, kitchen and living area. Large wrap around deck is a nice bonus. I highly recommend this home!! Angie does a great job of communicating throughout the entire process.

Th cabin was everything we could have asked for! It was clean and it had more than enough room for a bigger family. The views from the back deck were spectacular! The lake was beautiful! Our family enjoyed using the canoe and paddle boards. Angie was very responsive and helpful! We would definitely look forward to staying at the cabin again!

Good vacation/Some surprises

This property was as advertised but the advertising didn't fully represent. For example, the incline to the water is VERY steep. The crushed stone path was very slippery making it almost dangerous for us elderly folks. Indeed, the stair steps inside seemed tenuous as well. Even the fifty year olds were being cautious and gripping the rails. The entry door latch severely sticks. That is, it catches on the strike plate and won't open. The property manager advised "you have to bump it with your hip". Well, no. Maybe a bump with a sledge hammer. But, really, should this sort of problem be encountered at all? It should also be noted that the electronic dead bolt would extend on its own when the door was open. There are deep gouges in the door trim indicating it had happened over some length of time. Was the place functional? Yes. Was it well outfitted? Yes. Was our stay enjoyable? Yes. However, had we realized the incline, we would have stayed elsewhere.

Enjoying Colors of Fall on UTVs

Beautiful property to go with the colors of the season. We've stayed in the past, and this home has absolutely everything from the moment you drive into the property to falling asleep in the beautiful 5-star bedrooms. This property has something for every season, and it's our plan to make it an annual outing. Thank you.

Perfect for a family vacation

This worked so well for us! The beach was better than it looked online and our 1 and 2 year-old grandchildren loved it. The beach was sandy and very shallow so we felt safe. The house was nice, but even better - it was family friendly. No knick-knacks for the kids to worry about, furniture and floor coverings nice but still washable. We are already talking about our next visit. One thing that was really nice is that there are three different living levels with a bedroom and bath at each level. We were able to have each family in a different level and it worked out very well, especially for things like toothbrushes. Angie almost instantly responded to all our questions and was very easy to work with.

Perfect

We've rented many vrbo properties over the years and this was the best. It was so clean and was decorated perfect. We had our adult children and in-laws along with our 2 Grandchildren. Spent a lot of time fishing, using the stand up paddle boards, and the paddle boat all provided. Evenings were so much fun in the game room. We enjoyed a lot of meals on the deck. We made great family memories.

Beautiful!!!

We had an amazing time at this property!! Our kids (ages 7-12) loved swimming in the lake and fishing off of the dock. The water is crystal clear and provided hours of entertainment. We loved that the lake was very quiet and calm and safe for our kids to swim out into. The water “toys” that were provided were great too so we didn’t have to pack as many things. The cabin itself was well stocked and had large closets in the bedrooms. The game room was so much fun for everyone. We had an amazing time!!

Relax at this Quiet Lake Cabin!

We stayed for a week..parents, 2 daughters and spouses and children- 5 girls ages 15 to 10. We enjoyed the lake, good fishing for pan fish, the canoe, paddle boards and fire pit as well as the kids hangout downstairs. Kitchen was well stocked. Very clean and spacious cabin. A couple of issues arose with lack of any place to hang towels. One rack in each bathroom was not enough. Also the photos don't really show how steep the incline is to the lake and fire pit. If you have any mobility issues this is not the place for you. There are a few steps to both entrances but no handrails. The living room furniture is soft and you sink in so it is difficult to get up from it. Young healthy people would not have a problem but some of us did. The host was wonderful to communicate with. It was obvious that she wanted us to enjoy ourselves. The lake is small and quiet for most of the week. You can use a speed boat to pull skiers or tubers or a jet ski. But is mostly a lake for canoeing. Kayaking, fishing. We rented a pontoon for the whole week but it wasn't necessary as it is a quick trip around the whole lake. Relaxing place to vacation. We had a few rain days but we are game playing family and the cabin was well stocked with games and puzzles. Bottom line is if you are healthy and have no mobility issues and are looking for a clean, quiet place to relax and enjoy, you will love this cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Angie Harbaugh

Host profile image
My husband and I have 3 older kids. We live in the Twin Cities. Our oldest just graduated from the University of Wisconsin- Madison, our middle attends the University of Iowa and our youngest is in still in high school. Our youngest plays sports so it is hard for us to get to our cabin as often as we would like, which is why we have chosen to share it with others!

Why they chose this property

We chose this cabin because we love the peaceful wooded lake and love that it is a real log cabin! We also love how deep, clear and quiet the lake is! I love that it usually quiet enough to paddle board and we spend hours on floaties in our shallow beach area!

What makes this property unique

We love that you can swim and float right from our yard! We have rented a ton of cabins in various locations prior to purchasing this one and we've never had such good swimming (and clear, clean water) right from shore and our dock!
