Beautiful cabin and property, well stocked with just about everything we needed from cookware to bedding to condiments. Perfectly sized for our family of four. We stayed in fall, and the wood stove and electric blanket kept us cozy. There was a variety of beach toys for our kids, and a little network of trails to explore the property. The host was very helpful with getting us set up in the cabin and suggesting activities. All in all a great experience!

Our perfect getaway

The cabin was amazing. Peg & Dave had everything there we needed The pond was fun and nice and chilly. Dave & Peg were very helpful with suggestions on places to visit, which were all great places.I highly recommend staying here. It was nice and secluded yet not far from Sparta and Black River Falls. If your a bicyclist you must do the elroy sparta bike trail at least to tunnle 3, it was very cool.

What a perfect and beautiful place for a quiet and secluded getaway. I've been through some significant life trauma this year and desperately needed some peace. I happened to find this amazing listing, and it was such a blessing. Peg is the epitome of kindness, and you can't ask for a better host with better communication. The cabin, pond, and setting are all just perfect. Bring your food, and you need nothing else to have the perfect, quiet vacation. I wish I could have stayed longer. I hope to be back again some time with less a heavy heart so I can enjoy and explore the area a little further. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with me.

About the host

Hosted by Peg Konkol

Host profile image
Dave and I live in Holmen, WI. Dave retired in 2024 as a pastor at First Free Church in Onalaska. We are both from Black River Falls but have lived throughout the US and England. My dad gave me the cabin property 445 years ago and the Amish built the cabin for us 14 years ago. We used the cabin as our main residence for 2 6-month stretches in the past until we found a house to buy. I actually loved living there. It slows you down. Something really needed in today's world.

Why they chose this property

My dad purchased the property about 60 years ago. He had a Christmas tree farm nearby and built a beautiful home that you see pictured in the cabin. We hope to keep the property in our family as we all love vacationing there because it is so private and the swimming pond is spring fed and the perfect air conditioner on a hot day.

What makes this property unique

Privacy and seclusion! Comfort and quiet with a tiny sense of roughing it as the nearest convenience store is still a 4-mile drive. The aerated pond is this great big natural swimming pool that cools you off and is always fun to watch as you rest or eat on the front porch. The night skies, because there are no city lights or other residences nearby, are fantastic.
