About this property

Moss Creek Cabin in the woods on Madeline Island

Welcome to The Moss Creek Cabin! This chalet style home is a beautiful, sunny base for all of your island adventures and kicking back to relax in the woods. There is a large deck and a screen porch to lounge and hear all of the wildlife noises. You will be just 2 miles outside of town - far enough to be in nature - but also easy to get around, including walking and biking everywhere. The cabin is on 5 acres of private woods, so you will have plenty of space!

Sleeping Arrangements:

The master bedroom is upstairs and has a queen bed and a full bed that is fashioned as a daybed, when not in use. This room sleeps 4.

There are two bedrooms downstairs. The larger downstair bedroom has 2 queen beds to sleep 4 comfortably. The other downstairs room sleeps 2 with a queen bed and have an office setup with a desk.

There is a daybed on the screen porch with a trundle - so weather permitting, up to 2 people can also sleep out there. That brings the sleeping area up to 12 people, but we keep it to 10 in the listing, so that you don't necessarily have to be sardines or sleep on the screen porch if the weather is exciting. If someone wants more privacy in a large group or a rustic experience we have an easy pop up tent that sleeps 4 that we would be happy to set up for you in the yard. Just let us know when you make the reservation!

Porch:

The porch looks out into the forest and a small creek. We have outdoor lights, patio furniture for a large group to sit comfortably and umbrella for lounging in the shade.

Fire Stuff:

We have a nice big fire pit in the yard and an indoor wood stove for use in the colder months. We will leave you with wood to enjoy. *Please, please do not bring any wood with you from off the island* There are tree diseases that we don't have here on the island, or are we don't have very bad yet, and we want to keep the forest safe. Sorry for this little PSA! We will supply you with wood and if you run out we have on island resources for you to gather wood from... including gathering fallen wood from the property!

Kitchen:

There is a whole kitchen setup here to bake, cook, whatever! This is our family cabin, so we have a lot of the kitchen stuff to live life. An oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, bean grinder, toaster, wine glasses, etc. We also have an herb garden and some fruiting trees, so help yourself to the lemons, kumquats, peaches, cherries, etc when they are ripe!
Screen Porch:

The screen porch has a picnic table and daybed to lounge and enjoy the breeze on a warm day. Great place for playing cards or reading a book on the daybed.

Internet:

The internet is super, duper fast! 750 Mbps. I work remotely from the house in the off season and never have any issues working from any room on video - even out of the porch & deck.

The TV:

We have a TV that has a Roku for watching all of the things.

Dogs:
Feel free to bring your dogs. There are some other cabins through the woods with dogs and a lot of wildlife around, so just keep an eye on them so that they don't run off.


Bathrooms:
We have 2 full bathrooms with tubs and showers. One is upstairs in the master bedroom and the other is in the downstairs hallway between the other bedrooms.

About the host

Hosted by Katy Ashe

Host profile image
I've been coming to Madeline Island my whole life and my extended family all lives just down the road. I spent the last 20ish years living and working all over the world (Amazon Rainforest, India, Switzerland, Rwanda, California, etc), but I am delighted to back and living full time in my favorite place on the planet!

Why they chose this property

It's a perfect family cabin with giant windows to watch the forest. There is enough space for a group to spread out and have separate sleeping spaces.

What makes this property unique

You are in the forest, but close enough to town to make it conveniently located. It's the best of both worlds!
