We stayed at two camps for Cranberry Fest, it was about a 30 minute drive which was perfect for us. The cabin was very cozy and clean. If you are looking for a place to unplug (no service or WiFi) this is the place for you! We enjoyed playing dice in the screen porch and watching the provided DVDs at night! We would definitely come back again! Things to note there is no other heat source except a wood burning stove and small bath heater which was perfect for us. Nearby favorites: Evergreen Supper Club we went twice the food was great and the people were very nice!

Wonderful rustic cabin getaway! Hosts thought of everything, but I do recommend bringing your own beach towels for use by the swim pond. We saw so much wildlife and it’s conveniently close to the UTV trails.Also had an excellent dinner out at local supper club: The Evergreens. Highly recommend (make sure to save room for pie!)

This place is a dream. My wife and I enjoyed a quiet long weekend here and will return. The cabin is extremely well-stacked with things of a fun nature (kayaks, board games, sand toys, DVDs) as well as a practical one (everything necessary to cook and grill, bug spray, tick removal, etc). We visited during a very hot stretch late in summer and I expected the pond to be a bit too warm or algae-filled, but instead it was incredibly refreshing and didn't even smell like a pond. From the photos and journal in the space it's clear this has been a special place for the hosts for quite some time, and we feel honored to have had the chance to enjoy it. We will go out of our way to book this cabin for future trips. 100/10, can't recommend enough!

Thank you for your excellent review! Yes, we treat the pond every year to prevent algae but harmless to humans. It’s spring fed which keeps it so refreshing. It’s such a pleasure to rent to people who enjoy the pond, the seclusion, and our lovely little cabin in the woods. Come again for sure!

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!

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.
