A secluded lake cabin retreat north of Turtle Lake, WI. Downstairs consists of a living room w/sofa sleeper, kitchen, and bathroom, and the upstairs has 1 bedroom with a queen, a bed in the open loft and 1/2 bath. This cabin is the epitome of rustic modernity with a lot of style. Enjoy the long wooded driveway in, and relax in your natural surroundings. Our guests often see deer, beavers, Eagles, cranes & occasionally black bears. We do not have direct neighbors , the closest people you can see are across the lake or 3 lots down!

Drive past grazing cows and farm fields into the woods, onto a private gravel road, and down our long winding wooded driveway to our private lake retreat!

It was exactly what I was looking for - a few days in the woods with my pup running free happiest I have ever seen him! The hot tub was perfect, the location is so private and quiet, and the entire place was so charming and comfortable, I loved every minute of it! All of the little details make it so special.

The secluded cabin was perfect for dogs with stranger anxiety. They enjoyed walking the wooded dirt roads on long leashes. We enjoyed kayaking on a quiet lake and relaxing in the well maintained hot tub and sitting by the bonfire. Taverns, coffee shop and gift/antique shops all nearby.

Another great stay!

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here with our two dogs and we will definitely be back again! We love this little cabin- there’s lots to do but this time we mostly stayed inside or in the hot tub where we could stay plenty warm and unplug from our busy lives for a few days.

Great Up North Experience

Cabin is cozy and it had everything we needed. The property is great, super private and secluded. We brought our boat and we slayed the bass and huge blue gills. The lake is smaller but the fishing was great. The wildlife was awesome, a bunch of eagles and other birds of prey.aqebirds oawtreat

Great cabin for relaxing

We always a have great stay at Little Bear Lodge. Stephanie, the owner is responsive to all concerns. Everything needed is within a few miles(grocery, cheese, meats, antiques, casino), but feels so secluded. We caught a lot of fish and always enjoy this quiet lake. We have already booked our stay for next year.

Perfect getaway!

Little Bear Lodge is a rare find! We loved our stay here! The cabin is adorable and the location can’t be beat. The inside is clean and cozy and the outside is very private and picture perfect. We loved having easy access to the lake with plenty of toys provided to keep the kids entertained (kayaks, paddle boat, paddle boards), a fire pit for s’mores, a hammock to relax in, a grill, and plenty of places to just sit and enjoy nature. We have nothing but positive things to say about our stay and hope to come back again in the future!

Wonderful little retreat.

We stayed at the lil bear cabin and loved it all. So much wildlife and privacy. Very accurate description of the cabin. All the essentials were provided. We made use of the kayaks and paddle boat. And when the sun started to set we had fun by the campfire and toasted some marshmallows. It was very convenient that the firewood was provided. We will definitely be looking through our schedules to find another time to come back.

This was a much needed escape for our family. Property was as described and had many amenities and nice touches. Games and books well stocked, lake area was clean, lots of available firewood. The A/C was nice for sleeping during humid nights. Beds were very comfortable! Thanks again.

Always great!!

This small cabin in the woods is always peaceful and restful. No noise from neighbors and little boat traffic. This was our fifth trip to Little Bear, and it never disappoints. Plenty to do in the surrounding small towns and there is excellent fishing in Long Lake. We have already booked for 2023. Stephanie is always responsive and helpful.

A family tradition!

This is our second (of hopefully many) years at Lil Bear cabin! It’s like traveling back in time and enjoying the slow-living lifestyle I try to produce in our city life: Fishing, kayaking, walks in the woods, cooking over a campfire, canoeing, bird watching, roasting s’mores, reading by the lake…It’s all there. Thanks to Stephanie for being a wonderful host! -Autumn

Beautiful Memories at a Beautiful Cabin!

The cabin is gorgeous. Decorated nicely, and super clean! All the perks of a rustic stay with creature comforts like a great a/c unit and a keurig. While it’s tempting to just stay in the comfy cozy cabin all day, the outdoors will call you. The boats are well kept, fresh firewood that burnt amazing, and clean lifejackets. Fishing was fun! The kids were able to catch small fish (not big enough to keep) and we caught a catfish. Saw lots of loons and a pregnant deer across the water. I cannot say enough good things about this cabin or the owner! She was consistent with communication before, during, and after the stay. We will definitely return in the future!!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Stephanie. I am a web designer and I also manage and own a few rental properties. I grew up in Woodbury, MN and currently still live near the Twin Cities. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire for college. I love the outdoors and I grew up spending time at family friend's cabins, so I enjoy getting to share our little cabin with others.

Why they chose this property

When we were initially looking for a cabin, we wanted something that truly felt like a getaway. We chose the Turtle Lake/Cumberland area because I grew up going to our family friend's cabin in Cumberland, and I fell in love with the area. It's also such a perfect distance from the Twin Cities, at just 90 minutes, and close to many cities in Wisconsin. With nearly 8 acres, this cabin felt like a true escape from city life. It's cozy, and we don't claim it to be a mansion, but it really has everything you need in a cabin. Plus, isn't the point to spend time with family or friends?! We also wanted to make sure that everything we love to do at cabins, we get to share with our renters. We provide lots of outdoor activities, such as paddleboards, a canoe, a hammock, fire pits, and a swim platform just to name a few.
