Some other stuff.

Yeah sure, you have the best mountain biking in the Midwest right out your door when staying at the cabin, but why not take the canoe out on the river after a long ride?

The Cabin Itself

Taking possession a few years back. The cabin on the left, the huge shed on the right.


This is of one of the corners in the upstairs loft area. I can't find more pics at the moment for the upstairs.


Living room, yes the trim is done on the door now.


Living room, looking into the bedroom on the main floor. The bedroom now is finished off the same way as the living room and loft area.


And, the living room again.


Living room, looking towards the kitchen.

Having fun at the cabin pics!

This is right behind the cabin , leading to the Esker trail. This is a great place for hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing. All out the door. No driving needed.


The infamous Cable albino deer. It is rare to see it. We only have this once.

Out on a hike, absorbing just one of the many, many lakes up there.


Enjoying the view from one of the many nearby hikes.


Another adventure right out the door.


Eating lunch on the deck, looking for bears, deer, foxes, bobcats, bald eagles, and wolves.



A little wilderness on the river.


A little MORE wilderness on the river.



Off to go canoeing, right out the door.



Off for a hike behind the cabin.

How to get there.

What do you need to do when you go.

So you rented the cabin, here is the deal.

The water heater is turned off. It is located in the basement, controlled at the circuit breaker to the left of the bottom of the stairs. It is well marked and very easy to turn off. Please turn it off when you leave.

The heat is set at 45 degrees. The thermostat is next to the TV in the living room. Use it as needed, but please turn it back down/turn AC off when done.

All the beds are full size.  You might want to bring your own sheets, making clean up easier.

Leave the cabin as you found it. That is please pick up after yourself and clean.

Trash. There is a garbage dump just down the road, 1/4 mile at most. They are open Wed and Sat mornings, cost is about $2 a bag. Please haul out your trash with you. If you do not have room for this, ask me about an alternative.

HAVE FUN!!
