Beautiful cozy cabin in a private secluded wooded area. It was perfect for our first time in the area. It was a quick 15 min drive to Bayfield. Check in and out was extremely easy and the home was perfect for our weekend stay. We will definitely be back and look forward to staying here again!
Very nice cabin in a great location. Short distance to all nearby attractions. Property owner communicated real well with all of my questions.Highly recommend this gem!!

Thanks Andrew - I hope to have you back soon! I love winter at the cabin with the beautiful snow scenes and the wood stove fired up for ambiance. While people love the spring, summer and fall (colors) at the cabin - winter is an undiscovered time by many!
This was the perfect little cabin for me and my husband plus our dog. It was quiet and cozy with a lot of great upgrades. We loved being surrounded on 3 sides by the woods. It was very clean and comfortable, and there was a ton of info provided in the guidebook Rick provided. The water pressure in the shower was amazing, which I wasn’t expecting in such a remote location! We would highly recommend this cabin!

Great cabin
Very nice cabin, reasonably priced and dogs stay free. The bed is awesome!! Owner is very nice and helpful.
Thanks Thomas - I hope to have you back soon. FYI Winter is an awesome time with the beautiful snow scenes and wood stove fires and holiday lights inside and outside... Right out of a Currier and Ives Xmas card...
The cabin was a perfect home base for our weekend in the north woods. Our dog loved laying on the porch in between hikes and trips to the beach.

Thanks Sarah -- I hope to have both of you back again soon! Winter is pretty awesome with the holiday lights in front and back and inside and the wood stove romantic ambiance and the snow scenes. Always have snow shoes for both of you to use :-) (XC and downhill skiing nearby)
We had a great time at Rick's cabin. The property is well stocked and maintained. It sits beautifully in the woods and all sorts of activities are only a short drive away. Will definitely book again, if it is available.

Thank Bjorn - I hope to have you back soon! Winter is the most incredible time in my opinion - with the snow scenes and holiday lights inside and outside... Like being in a Currier and Ives postcard... so you might want to consider :-)
Very nice place to stay and it was central to the events I was attending. I appreciated the fact I could bring my dogs. My daughter and I felt very comfortable and safe there and I would like to bring my husband back the next time. U would definitely visit this place again.

Beautiful cabin! Very cozy and made for the perfect romantic get away! Our Golden retriever enjoyed the trip too, especially snowshoeing, hiking and exploring the ice caves....sheer beauty! Then relaxing by the fire was a perfect way to end the winters day.

Thanks :-) Glad you got to see the area and the amazing ice caves! The cabin is the closest lodging establishment in the Bayfield area to the caves so that can be pretty handy :-) Hope to have you back soon.

Relaxing Retreat
Very quiet and relaxing getaway. Cabin is tastefully decorated and furnishings are top notch and comfortable. Always nice to have a place to bring our four footed friend. We visited the Ice Caves which are nearby. Awsome experience. Very easy to book and very prompt on security deposit.
This cabin is fantastic, the owner Rick had great communication throughout and the cabin is clean and comes with everything you need. The kitchen is very well supplied with all the utensils to cook delicious meals and the serta mattress is a great touch! The evenings were cool and the wood burning stove kept us plenty warm. We had a great stay and would not hesitate to book again!

Thanks for staying Kieran! I hope to have you back in the future! Fall has amazing colors at the cabin and on trails such as Meyers Beach Trail, and the winter snow scenes with the holiday lights inside and outside make the cabin look like a Currier and Ives Christmas card.
This was our first visit to Bayfield; we came to see Lyle Lovett and his Large Band at Big Top Chautauqua. The cabin was just right for my wife and I and our dog. Every convenience was in the cabin and we were very comfortable. Thanks to Rick for allowing us to enjoy it.

Very clean and beautiful cabin in the north woods, with full and complete kitchen facilities and gorgeous wood deck. Nifty adjustable bed sleeps 2 people. A pleasant, few mile drive to access Lake Superior.

Thanks Rob - sounds like you got to enjoy Little Sand Bay beach. Meyers Beach is also nice (as well as Halvorson Reiten Beach in Bayfield and the beaches on Madeline Island) New Brazilian Cumaru deck! (Second hardest woods besides IPE at number one) Wanted Tigerwood - but vendor was out (3rd hardest but pretty too - have at home) Hopefully will last many years and be durable with the huge winter snow loads. Doubled up the joists so built like a tank. Hope to have you back soon!

Nice place, no lake access, owner is a pain. Over priced for what you get pennied for my the owners 30 page rule book

Response from VrboOwner on 12 July 2024
It is unfortunate that she gave us one star for us diplomatically pointing that she brought more dogs than she disclosed (She brought 3 dogs and she only declared and paid for one — apparently that makes me “a pain” - I pointed out that other dog friendly lodging has rules about honestly disclosing number of pets as well). There is no 30 page rule book… just a cabin guide operational manual telling people how to operate all the features and giving the recommendations for things to do in the area. In additional - we have never advertised lake access - which is clearly detailed online and in the cabin guide that there is none. We state that Little Sand Bay is a 5-10 minute drive away for a beach. We noticed the day she was checking out (we rarely look at our external Ring & cam) that she had 3 dogs at the cabin (one over the maximum allowed) without telling us. She wrote and said I was “nit picky” for pointing out that she brought two more dogs and not telling me. (or paying for them). I wrote to her: “it says very clearly in the VRBO agreement: Prior notification is required for any pets or any additional person. Not correctly disclosing the number of pets (type and weight and age of pet) or people before your stay will result in forfeiture of your entire deposit. Each dog is $28 per day plus tax. Our cleaning person also spent extra time cleaning the cabin (lot of hand pickups off floor from kids) and multiple loads of laundry and more vacuuming
About the host
Hosted by Rick Hauser
I served in the US Navy for 7 years. Many medals - from helping stop a war between India and Pakistan to Operation Desert Storm...then went into corporate competitive intelligence at Helene Curtis and Motorola and ranked as best in the USA in Fortune 500 companies. Then ran an Exclusive Buyer Brokerage real estate company in the Chicago area before retiring to garden and sail and bike and hike and manage and beautify the cabin and compose movie soundtrack music and play trumpet with various bands around the world.
Why they chose this property
Amazing location and forest! Came with a well pump and and an old outhouse at the time, with dark wood paneling and orange formica countertops and a dead squirrel in one of the first Fisher wood stoves ever made - but it had potential!
What makes this property unique
The cabin is dog friendly, and gives you the peace and quiet you are looking for. Extremely private. Amazing new Queen Serta iCloud Savant bed with adjustable base with massage action and 'Zero G' via remote. Holiday lights inside and outside in the winter. Free Amazon Prime movies on TV in living room and bedroom, and free Wifi, and Sirius or Pandora music in bedroom, living room, and back deck (selectable) Complimentary popcorn, coffee, chocolates . You may see deer, bald eagles, foxes, and more. Certified Wildlife Habitat and Travel Wisconsin Green Certified. Fully upgraded in unique, peaceful, serene setting - for year round use. Amazing snow displays on the pine trees in the winter (fire up the wood stove for romance!) and the driveway is plowed after each snow stops when greater than 3 inches. Amazing fall colors. If you have two extra people - recommend at least one is a kid - as besides the BR sleeping two - there is a leather non-pull out couch in the LR and 5 foot long chaise lounger to sleep on for the two extra people (we can provide extra sheets, pillows, blankets) or you can use a small blow up mattress for one of them.
