The cabin interior features a pine loft with a birds eye view of the land, vaulted pine ceilings and walls add overall warmth on wintery nights. Unique wildlife mounts and Northwoods decor are sure to appeal to the woodsman in your life.

This 3-story cabin nestled on 6 wooded acres is spacious and has all the comforts of home! Whether you are seeking quiet relaxation or a fun filled day; it is yours to explore.

We are strategically located within minutes of prime fishing lakes Balsam, Half Moon and Bone Lake for you avid fishermen. Ultimately; you will experience a piece of the North in this beautiful part of the country! Take a drive to the St.Croix Riverway/Interstate Parks, it will be well worth the 20 minutes-what a gorgeous site! Balsam Lake features Indianhead Supper Club, Paradise Landing, gift shops, and friendly surroundings! The list continues with
St.Croix Casino, St. Croix Chateau Winery, and St. Croix Cinema Theater to name a few. With many more charming shops in nearby communities, this could be your chance to pick up that last minute gift! Look no further for your perfect getaway, we would love to share our Northwoods Cabin where the #1 priority is your comfort and satisfaction 'guaranteed'!

Such a gem!
This is a beautiful property nestled in the woods, but not far from town. It is great for families. There's plenty of sleeping space, so you're not on top of each other or shoved all into one room. The nearby beach was wonderful. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Hello, My husband and I are owners of a
Landscape, Nursery and Greenhouse
business! We enjoy the outdoors, love
our five boys, and live in the country
where there is lush green surroundings!

Why they chose this property

The location is prime, nearby lakes and woods provide scenic beauty and various wildlife will visit
quite often. We feel there is a need for families and friends to build relationships,enjoy one
another in a relaxed enviornment, and celebrate those special occasions in life!!

What makes this property unique

When the night is clear you will see starry skies with galaxies too many to name. Nothing can compare to the smell of a roaring bonfire and the food cooking to perfection on the outdoor grill!!
