About this property

Wisconsin Dells Waterfront Cabin

Enjoy the tranquility of the Wisconsin River at rustic Jacks Cabin. Just 100 feet from the back deck flows the river, where you can fish, swim, canoe or kayak, run in the sand or watch large numbers of wildlife. There are deer, turkey, fox, eagles (and many more bird species) to be seen. Smallmouth bass, walleye and pike can be caught in the river by you and your family. The cabin is just 20 minutes from famous Wisconsin Dells or Baraboo. The Aldo Leopold Historical Site is just down the road, and Madison is a short 40 minutes away. Sit on the deck and watch the river flow by.

weekend getaway in Baraboo WI

the location and cabin were wonderful. The check-in process was difficult, and I ended up having to stay somewhere else the first night. The host, however, followed up with me late that night and I was able to check-in the next day.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin was fantastic! It was perfect for our 3 day weekend. I was amazed at how clean it was and everything you need is provided. Dogs next door were a little annoying otherwise everything was perfect. We will definitely be back!

Exactly What We Needed

Our family group was small with just four of us. Three adults and a 3 year old. We just wanted to get away for the weekend and stay somewhere quiet and cozy. We came up from Illinois and the drive was easy, and while there are a lot of backroads there’s also plenty of signs to make it easy to get to Jack’s cabin. We did get a warning before we came that the mosquitos are fierce and yes, that’s true but we came well prepared (with bracelets and spray) so they weren’t a bother to us. This home is exactly what we needed, so cozy and comforting in its simplicity. The backyard is so amazing spacious, and the river view is breathtaking. Waking up the birds singing in the morning and the water rippling by was calming and beautiful. We will definitely be back!

Jack’s cabin

We enjoy our annual visit to the cabin. The river was high so there was no beach this time, but that did not stop us from having a good time.

Always a great time

We have been coming to Jacks cabin for many years, and no we are visiting with a grandson. Although our last visit was a few years back, we were happy to see no much has changed. It’s a perfect quiet getaway close enough to the Dells to make day trip. It’s always a perfect visit! Thank you for all the memories!

About the host

Hosted by John Love

Host profile image
This property was purchased by my grandfather, John V. (Jack) Cairns in 1944. I spent weekends and summers there from the time I was five until I enlisted in 1968. I lived there for two years from 1973 to 1975. My grandfather willed this property to his daughter, my mother, who willed it to her four children. The only one with any personal interest in keeping the Cabin was me, so eventually I bought them out. I maintain it as a rental to pay the bills and keep it up.. John Love
