About this property

Hike-in, Off-Grid Camping: an A-frame Cabin

A small rustic A-frame cabin tucked away in the woods with a picturesque view of a spring-fed creek just steps from the porch. The creek eventually flows into Lake Superior, located just a mile downstream. The cabin is secluded and can be accessed via a quarter-mile hike from the trailhead. Complete with a wood stove and solar-powered lights. An off-grid dream! Private porta potty nearby. Bring your own sleeping bag.

We had a wonderful stay at the A-frame cabin. It was very peaceful and relaxing waking up to the creek outside. Would recommend to anyone looking for a “glamping” experience!

Great little off the grid A-frame perfect for one person who wants to rough it but, with a hint of 'glamp' that doesn't lose that 'roughin' it' vibe. I had planned on coming up for the Apostle islands Ice Caves but when they closed, i felt stuck. Abe pointed me in the right direction to still have an ice cave experience and it was great! The snow storm the night i stayed added an awesome vibe to the experience, as well.

This was exactly what we were looking for; to disappear from the world for a few days! This is definitely not for everyone, but it was perfect for us! There was a snow storm during our visit and it was magical. It felt like we were in a snow globe and it was so beautiful! Abe was great! Very welcoming and kind. Thank you for sharing your space with us and we would love to come back again!

Just what you need for some off-grid style cabin camping. We appreciated having the fresh water via a utility sink and the fire pit by the creek was the best.

Nice little spot close to Bayfield. I would stay again. A little new to the online/app/check in process, but had plenty details for the process about the property.

My partner and I spent a night here over the summer with our dog, and it was PERFECT for a day trip to Madeline Island. It's quiet and serene without being completely out of the way, and the property itself was clearly well-loved and maintained by the hosts. The only note we have was that the trail to/from the parking lot to the cabin was a bit more rugged than expected, but that just meant we ended up carrying the dog (she's a city girl, not much of a hiker) and had to take a couple of trips back and forth from the car. All in all, we would absolutely visit again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cabin itself is exactly as shown. The surroundings were beautiful (creek in the front of the cabin was a happy surprise)The shower was very relaxing, but a little far from the cabin. The space itself is less than 10 minutes to town for dinner/drinks.

Such a peaceful stay with sounds of a babbling Brook!

Loved the peaceful and quiet stay with a short hike to the cute and cozy A frame cabin right next to a babbling brook. Enjoyed the adarondeck chairs facing the water and the magnetic screen to the cabin worked awesome, not a single mosquito in the cabin! Great books and games for a stormy night.

This little A-frame was the perfect landing spot for our weekend trip to Bayfield. Very cozy and very quiet. This beats sleeping on the ground in a tent any time!!

This little cabin was in the top favorites of places I've ever stayed while traveling. It was perfect for 2 adults and a dog. It was close enough to town but felt miles away. Nothing is more peaceful than falling asleep listening to the creek flow and crackling of a fire. 10/10 would stay here again!

As advertised

I came in the late winter to do some hiking in the area and could not have asked for a better place to stay for the night. The creek was incredibly peaceful and the stars put on a show at night. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

Amazing place

We stayed at the Anchor site and it was everything we were looking for. A beautiful a-frame cabin nestled in the middle of the woods right by a creek. The path to the cabin was pretty steep, but a very short walk. The cabin was very close to many attractions. Love every second and hope to come back next year!

Perfect Northland Getaway

Fell asleep to the sound of the crackling fire and babbling creek. Abe and his family were fantastic hosts. We’ll be back. Can’t recommend this stay enough. Thank you very much!

About the host

Hosted by Abe Clark

Host profile image
The Clarks moved to Bayfield, WI in 2019 from Orcas Island, WA and have since become actively involved in the community. In 2021, Abe started True North Sailing Charters with his brother Josh, and in 2022, Kate opened Penny Print Studio. Both businesses cater to the tourism market and local residents of all ages. At Sailor Springs, we hope to create a peaceful place where guests can spend the night in a unique and memorable way that adds to their Lake Superior adventure! By staying with us you are directly supporting our family and that goal.

Why they chose this property

We love living on the outskirts of Bayfield and the Apostle Islands.

What makes this property unique

Sailor Springs is a small three-site campground located just two miles outside of the picturesque tourist town of Bayfield, WI. 2023 will be our first year of operation and we’re excited to host campers on the property and provide a unique camping experience. The campground is spread out over 5 acres of forest on Bresette Hill Road. After parking at the trailhead, you’ll gather your bags and hike into your glamping site. The trail winds through the woods, leading you first to a valley where the seasonal Clark Creek runs through in the spring. The first two campsites are on the other side of this valley. The trail can be steep in spots and requires a moderate level of fitness and mobility to reach the secluded campsites. The third site is a bit farther into the forest, the little A-frame cabin, Anchor sits on the edge of the spring-fed Brickyard Creek that flows year-round.
