About this property

Wisconsin Dells Waterfront Cabin

Enjoy the tranquility of the Wisconsin River at rustic Jacks Cabin. Just 100 feet from the back deck flows the river, where you can fish, swim, canoe or kayak, run in the sand or watch large numbers of wildlife. There are deer, turkey, fox, eagles (and many more bird species) to be seen. Smallmouth bass, walleye and pike can be caught in the river by you and your family. The cabin is just 20 minutes from famous Wisconsin Dells or Baraboo. The Aldo Leopold Historical Site is just down the road, and Madison is a short 40 minutes away. Sit on the deck and watch the river flow by.

Great place for our little family with 2 small dogs!! Lots of bugs but we were warned in advance, bug spray was our best friend. Great location, we were able to easily visit Devil’s Lake and the Dells. Cabin had everything we could’ve needed for our stay. We would stay again, thank you!

Beautiful location on the Wisconsin River. Sunrise didn't disappoint. Lots of nearby attractions available but also enjoyed just watching the fish jump, squirrels leap from tree limb to tree limb, and the River just pass by.

Oh man. Jack’s Cabin is so cool! We didn’t want to leave. Everything was super clean, the accommodations were above and beyond. It was like staying at a family cabin. The special touches of the family pictures and story behind the place made it extra interesting. We’re already talking about coming back up asap.

weekend getaway in Baraboo WI

the location and cabin were wonderful. The check-in process was difficult, and I ended up having to stay somewhere else the first night. The host, however, followed up with me late that night and I was able to check-in the next day.

About the host

Hosted by John Love

Host profile image
This property was purchased by my grandfather, John V. (Jack) Cairns in 1944. I spent weekends and summers there from the time I was five until I enlisted in 1968. I lived there for two years from 1973 to 1975. My grandfather willed this property to his daughter, my mother, who willed it to her four children. The only one with any personal interest in keeping the Cabin was me, so eventually I bought them out. I maintain it as a rental to pay the bills and keep it up.. John Love
