5 minutes from the Birkie trailhead! This property sits on 5 acres of rolling seclusion, yet it is also only a short hike through our backyard woods, down the Town of Cable trails, before you're enjoying a coffee at Velo or a pizza at River's Eatery. There is also is easy access to the CAMBA mountain bike trails, snowmobile, and ATV/UTV trails! End your day with a muscle-melting steam in the private sauna house, or cozy up next to the wood-burning fireplace... or heck, why not just do both!
The space
This is a great property for those who want to be secluded but still want to have the conveniences of being close to restaurants and outdoor activities. We have a lot of outdoor space to roam between our 5 acres and the connecting Cable Town trails.
BEDROOMS:
The main house has 5 beds (1 king, 2 queen, 2 twin) across 4 bedrooms. There is also a separate 1 room "bunkhouse" with an additional 2 twin beds. Keep reading below for more details on the bunkhouse.
BATHROOMS:
There are 3 bathrooms in the main house, plus a bonus bathroom located in the sauna house.
SAUNA:
The private sauna house in the backyard allows for both steam and dry saunas. The sauna house has a heated resting room with a small kitchenette, so you can take regular sauna breaks and re-hydrate with a cool drink without having to go back to the house.
WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE:
Another perk of the house is our wood-burning fireplace, so you can get the complete Wisconsin Northwoods winter experience.
PETS:
Yes, we are dog friendly!
HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING:
During the summer season (June 1 - October 1), we have modern, high efficiency window-unit air conditioning in each of the four bedrooms in the main house, as well as one in the main house living space.
For winter, we have a gas furnace for heating the main house as well as in-floor heating in the entryway and downstairs bedroom. Of course, there is also the wood-burning fireplace.
INTERNET:
We have high speed, fiber optic WIFI internet, great if you need to do any work from the main house!
BUNKHOUSE:
The bunkhouse is in the backyard, a separate building from the main house. It is a 1-room building that holds 2 twin beds. The linens for the beds are provided, and it is a "make your own bed" situation. There is no bathroom, but it is only a short walk back to the main house or sauna bathroom. There are baseboard heaters in the space to keep you warm during the cold weather months. For summer, there is a standing fan available plus plenty of windows for a summer breeze (no A/C). WIFI does not reach the bunkhouse, but cell service is strong.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire house, sauna house, bunkhouse, and the complete 5 acre property.
We do have quite a few other outbuildings on the property, but those buildings are not currently cleaned/maintained.
Other things to note
We have provided a few snowshoes for guests to use during their stay if they're coming during the winter months. This makes it easier to explore the property in the heavy snow, and it allows them to also enjoy the connecting Cable Town snowshoe trails!
We do not regularly restock our firewood supply. You are welcome to use whatever wood we do have available in our woodshed, but we do not promise that there will be some available for you to use. You can buy firewood at the local gas station or grocery store store (Rondeaus), only a few minutes from the house, or at any other local stores that supply it.
