About this property

River Ridge Cottage

Enjoy the serenity of a country setting on the Yellow River in Spooner, Wisconsin. Affectionately referred to as "the cottage," you will be staying in a red barndominium. The cozy space offers 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, washer and dryer, a full kitchen and a rustic living room with a wood stove for warmth and ambiance. Outdoors you have a patio for dining and a fire pit for relaxing after taking in all Spooner has to offer. We have walking trails located on our 23 acres of land for your enjoyment. Located just a few minutes from the Spooner Lake boat landing and the Spooner Golf Course. ATV and snowmobile trails accessible directly from the property.
Enjoy the Yellow River by following the path--it's just a hop, skip and a jump from your private patio.
For security purposes, there is one security camera facing the driveway to the cottage.
Please note: There is a cute navy blue and white shed on the property--this is not the red barndominium that you will stay in.
We have ample room for parking of your toys--whether boats, trailers, UTV's--please let us know what you will be bringing and we'll instruct you where the best place to park is.
Celebrating something special? Want to surprise your significant other? Reach out to us before your arrival!
***New for 2024***
Want a tour of Spooner Lake? Weather and schedule permitting, we will be offering a cruise on our 2024 Tahoe LTZ VRL Pontoon for a small additional fee. If you are interested, please include it in your inquiry while booking.

Fall Oasis

My husband, dear friend and I had a fabulous stay at River Ridge Cottage. The cottage was perfect for our needs and provided an absolutely beautiful setting for sitting outside and enjoying the weather and views of the river. It is close to town and all the area has to offer. We would definitely stay at the cottage again.

Spooner Getaway.

My wife and I have wanted to explore the Spooner area for a few years. The River Ridge cottage was a terrific home base to do just that. It’s a very clean, quiet, and super comfortable space not far from Spooner. We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice to stay at River Ridge and we plan to come back!

River Ridge Weekend

We spent a long weekend staying at River Ridge while attending a softball tournament in Shell Lake. The property is completely comfortable and beautiful. The hosts were excellent communicators. We loved that the property was quiet and relaxing but still close to Spooner and Shell Lake

North Woods Cabin by the river

This was our 2nd stay at this property. It is charming, clean and well stocked. We appreciated that the host left empty cupboards in the kitchen for our food. The patio space by the Fox river is amazing. We will be staying again.

River Ridge Cottage

What a wonderful place! Impeccably clean and such attention to detail. This place has more amenities than most homes. The owners live on the property close to the cottage/barn dominium. But nobody bothered us, it was very private and quiet. Price was great too, would recommend it to anyone!

Weekend getaway

My fiancé and I just wanted a short relaxing getaway from home and i came across this place. Just what we needed. It was cute, clean and cozy. The first night we were there it was cold and rainy and I loved hearing the rain on the tin roof and having the wood burning stove going. It was a prefect night. Close to town. Would recommend to anyone and would stay again. Great hostess as well. Very attentive when we had questions and had plenty of recommendations for things to do in the area
