About this cabin rental

Historic log cabin on 60 acres in the heart of Chequamegon National Forest. Pet Friendly.

Build a fire in the fieldstone fireplace - living room - picture window overlooking the forest and White River.
Build a fire in the woodstove on the 3-season screened porch. There are huge windows overlooking the forest and spring.
Build a fire in the campfire pit outside.

A spring flows by the cabin, emptying into a small pond, which overflows into the White River. The sound of wind rustling through the trees and the sound of water flowing by is constant and one of reasons White River Retreat is special.

The main body of the log cabin was built in the 1930s by craftsmen who understood the beauty as well as the functionality of log cabins. A large porch (20x30) and a second story was added to the cabin in 2010.

Floor 1: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, living room with a fieldstone fireplace and 3-season porch. Woodstove on porch and working fireplace in the living room. I provide the firewood.

Floor 2: 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths - well appointed with travertine tile, clawfoot tub, tile shower, reclaimed wood vanities, large bedrooms with views.

Bed configuration: 2 queen, 1 full, 2 twin. I provide the bed linens.

Kitchen: stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, pots/pans/dishes.

Basement - storage

I have co-owned/operated a lodge with multiple cabins near White River Retreat, for over 25 years. I understand what people are looking for in a vacation rental. I do my best to guide you toward this rental option if I feel that it matches your needs. I also steer you away from the cabin rental if it seems that this is not a good match for your needs. I want people to be happy here and leave feeling renewed by the experience.

The vacations that stay with you throughout the year are ones that allow you to recharge your energy and allow you to view your life's blessings and obstacles from a different perspective.

I have had this cabin on my list for a few years now and I finally was able to check it out, and wow, this is my new favorite cabin, it went to the top of my list to return to! I have rented a lot of cabins for me and my dogs, and the main things I look for are remote, acreage, hiking trails, water feature, and a bonfire pit, the cabin itself is secondary, but boy did this cabin check all my boxes and then some! The hiking trails are endless, there is absolutely no-one around, there is a super clean spring-fed babbling brook and shallow river right on the property, the cabin is on a mile dead-end gravel road with only 2 other cabins on it, the only car I saw the whole time was a wrong turn. The cabin itself is huge, I didn't even use the upstairs, it is very clean, super comfortable, and has this great enclosed window porch with a gas fireplace to enjoy. I don't want to leave and I can't wait to come back again! Thank you so much Marilyn for sharing your amazing property with us and our pups!

Beautiful wooded property. Spacious cabin with lovely screened porch and large dining table. The cabin has the feel and looks of an Adirondack cabin. Very clean. Our host thoroughly explained how to operate the fireplace and kitchen stove. Plenty of firewood was available. Pet friendly. Very peaceful stay.
