About this property

Cozy, Family Friendly Log Cabin Close To Everything!

Comfortable log cabin makes you feel like you are in the North woods, or even Colorado, right in SE Wisconsin. 3 bedrooms on the main floor including 1 queen, 2 twins, and the third room with 2 sets of twin bunk beds. Also on the main floor you will find a wonderfully updated kitchen with all the tools you need to create special meals while on vacation. The main living room is spacious and welcoming with a wood burning fireplace, large screen TV, DVD player and guest WiFi. A loft overlooks the main living room and is a great place to unwind and let the kids play or watch your favorite movie. When the day is done, retreat to the master suite on the 2nd floor, complete with a king size log frame bed and a rustic decor bathroom with newly remodeled rainfall shower.

Amazing cabin

This cabin is beautiful and the pictures show exactly what you find. Every little detail has been thought of and it is the most child friendly place we ever stayed from dishes, toys and an actual play room. Plus the fact we could bring our dog was terrific. The host was very responsive to questions and replied within minutes. This is the nicest VRBO we have rented.

DESTINATION - VACAY ESCAPE!

My sons, grandgirls, husband and I absolutely loved this cabin. The owners responded swiftly to our questions, the kitchen was amazing - we loved extra long table w/chairs for our family meals and playing UNO, the rooms were plentiful, the toys for the grandgirls to play was an extra bonus! The wild life (deer, turkeys, cardinals, blue jays, chipmunks) was our entertainment throughout the day. If you want a vacation retreat, this is the perfect place. We drove a few minutes to Lake Geneva and walked around the lake. Location is perfect! Thank you!

Great place for vacation

Large spacious home. Firepit in back. Kitchen has many, many dishes and appliances. Grandkids were excited by the interior decor (antlers, fish wall hanging, tree branch coat rack. ) Grandkids were very cautious about bison head hanging above fireplace until we could convince them that the remainder of the bison was not hiding in the wall! Appreciated the toys and games for all ages. Fast response from owner when contacted.

Great Family Get Away

We loved the house and the location for a family getaway (6 adults, 2 young kids). Everything was exactly as described. The house is well equipped for cooking in the kitchen and with toys for young kids. We did run out of trash bags and paper towels (only left with 1 partial roll), so they may not restock these types of items between guest visits.

Family Reunion

This Williams Bay cabin provided a fabulous venue for my wife and I to enjoy time with our adult sons/daughter-in-laws in our first family reunion since the covid-19 pandemic. Our host (Matt) provided timely responses to all questions before our arrival and the cabin set-up demonstrated an impressive attention to detail that was enjoyed by our entire family. We had one internet access question that arose during our stay and the immediate response from Matt addressed our question. The surroundings were beautiful and we were greeted each morning by wildlife including deer and turkeys in our backyard. The location provided easy access to many activities in the area but also provided privacy and a feeling of being in the outdoors for our family. I look forward to our next opportunity to return to the Lake Geneva area and would welcome another opportunity to enjoy time in this fabulous family cabin.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a terrific time at this property and would highly recommend it. Wonderfully quiet location that provided easy access to the Lake Geneva path. Spacious, comfortable, and well thought-out cabin with all sorts of features to keep the kids entertained. Ours particularly loved the huge swing outside! We were thankful for such a great spot for a family get together in this difficult time.

Scott, Sad to get our first 3 star review! We do everything that we can to make things work out well for our guests as has been shown in many of the prior reviews. Although check-in was challenging due to some technical difficulties and poor timing, we did make our best effort to solve the issues. We certainly appreciated the very kind letter you left for us at the cabin regarding the accommodations and hope you consider us again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Scheidt

Host profile image
I grew up in LaCrosse, WI and did not have much experience with SE Wisconsin during my childhood. However, I met my wife at Marquette University and during medical school and residency, started a wonderful career and family, eventually settling in Peoria, IL. We found the Geneva Lake area enticing due to all the amenities available and decided to purchase a vacation home for our young family of 6. We couldn't be happier and are exited to share our wonderful log home for others to enjoy as well.

Why they chose this property

Once you drive up and see the home for the first time, you will know exactly why we fell in love with it! We had always wanted a log home and this was the perfect mix of privacy at night mixed with innumerable activities to do during the days for our young family.

What makes this property unique

This unique log home has detail not seen in many others including a massive "log" fireplace, outdoor fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and an incredibly relaxing front porch with swing and 2 rocking chairs. Being within walking distance to downtown Williams Bay allows our family to enjoy the beach, fishing piers, restaurants, coffee, and of course, the Thirsty Moose for a late afternoon ice cream cone.
