Nestled along a private road, Bearskull Cabin is perched on 3 acres of wooded hillside overlooking pristine, 80-acre Bearskull Lake. Enjoy 650' of secluded shoreline. From the spacious and private deck, take in sublime views of a small island (with nesting loons) and a wild, undeveloped far shore studded with big pines. Inside, Bearskull Cabin is a step back in time, paneled with original 1950s knotty pine but with updated fixtures and furniture. The lake is quiet, deep, and lovely: great for swimming, fishing and boating. We have three nice boats for guests to use: a rowboat, a kayak, and a canoe. Deck has a picnic table, Adirondack chairs, and a charcoal grill. One bedroom with a queen-sized bed, new carpet, and large dresser. The small bathroom includes a clawfoot tub with shower surround. The couch in the living room pulls out to a queen-sized bed. While secluded, Bearskull Cabin is within a few miles of several memorable Northwoods eateries, and many other lakes and natural areas.

Cozy, rustic quiet and comfortable. We loved everything about this cabin and it's location. Very private just what we were looking for. Definitely recommend for peaceful quiet vacation!
We had a great time getting away from the hustle and bustle of life back home and relaxing in this charming Northwoods retreat! We took advantage of all the lake and property had to offer. And we absolutely adored the “looney” neighbors!
We had a great time at the cabin! Very quiet and relaxing. We really enjoyed using the canoe. Everything was as stated in the description. The hosts did very well with communication.
We loved our stay at Bearskull Cabin! The hosts were very responsive to our questions. The property description was accurate and check in was a breeze. We were thankful for a place that welcomed our dog too. Our lab, Ziggy loved his daily swims and exploring all that the area offers. We were well situated for excursions into the towns nearby and took in a couple UP waterfalls. It was a perfect spot to unplug for a while. We brought our boat, but if you don't have one, the hosts have a row boat, canoe, and a kayak to enjoy the lake. We recommend Bearskull Cabin!
When we stepped out of the truck, we were struck by the beauty and complete quiet. The cabin is so charming, and Chris and Breja have set it up to make it easy to enjoy your stay whether you choose to cook in the kitchen or relax in the lliving room which surrounds you with the sights and sounds of the forest and lake. We spent a lot of time on the gorgeous deck up in the trees listening to the echoing loon calls and enjoying the flutter of the wings of the local birds. We loved fishing from the kayak and canoe every day and gazing at the star filled sky at night. Many midweek days we barely ever saw or heard human activity. Best week of sleep in years! We hope to return in the future!
We had the best time here. This cabin is so cute. The lake was warm and comfortable, and the hosts were great. The perfect place to spend a week and relax. The shower is quite small in height- I was nearly at the ceiling and I am 5'5 so be aware if you are tall! We truly had such an amazing time and really enjoyed the ability to go swim, kayak, canoe, or just stay inside and be cozy. We hope to come back!
We had an enjoyable stay at the cabin on Bearskull Lake. Great weather, peak fall colors. Exactly what we were hoping for. The only downside was the loons seemed to have migrated for the season.
Very quiet and relaxing cabin on a beautiful lake. We enjoyed the lake in the morning with the leaves at perfect peak time. The fog coming across the lake added to the view. The music collection was great and I enjoyed reading a ghost story by the fire place to my husband.
The cabin was so charming and the location quiet and relaxing. Many nearby recreational opportunities, as well as Bearskull lake right outside the door.
Well maintained - beautifully nestled in the Northwoods with lake view from the sitting room and amazing deck. Could not have asked for a better place to stay for a birthday getaway. A kitchen stocked with spices and condiments - plenty of towels and bedding. Everything was perfect. There were even plenty of books and magazines (loved the Wisconsin history ones) and a great collection of music CD’s.
My wife and I spent a week at this cabin for our 20th wedding anniversary. We brought our 15-year-old dog with as well. We all had a great time. The cabin is quaint, clean and dog-friendly. My wife and I visited several restaurants - all within 15 to 20 minutes from the cabin. The hosts were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Lots of memories were made at the cabin, and I very much would like to return next year!
What a gem! We loved this woodsy and secluded cabin on a quiet lake. We spent our days wandering the property, going on canoe rides, barbecuing and campfires. I spent a lot of time relaxing and taking in the view while perched on the tall adirondack chairs on the porch. We easily could have stayed another week!
Communication with Chris and Breja was excellent. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us. Until next time!
Our family enjoyed our week-long stay at Bearskull Cabin. We had everything we needed to explore the lake-- a kayak and canoe-- as well as, the amazing deck that overlooks the lake for taking in the sunsets. My family played board games, listened to music, read books, and made s'mores by campfire -- it was a perfect way to recharge after a busy summer. The cabin is clean, well stocked (including a great CD library!), and has a cozy fireplace that completes the Northwoods vibe.
What a wonderful property, the moment we arrived all we heard was “quiet”. Away from the noise of the city a week was great for our family, we enjoyed it very much. The property was perfect and had everything we might have forgotten, I really appreciated many of the little things that made it feel like home away from home. My kids enjoyed the surroundings and had a blast running around, dipping their feet on the lake, swimming, going on a boat ride or just sitting by the lake enjoying the views. We’d be happy to come back!
The house was perfect for my girlfriend and I. Chris and Breja were excellent at responding quickly to any questions. The house had many of the things that you may not think to bring with you which was nice to have. The house was very clean and made you feel right at home. The row boat was perfect to fish out of and get around the lake with. This would be a perfect lake for kayakers. We enjoyed watching the loons on the island that is just out in front of the dock. It is a very quiet lake which was nice. I would recommend this cabin to any couple looking for a vacation in the north woods. Hoping to book again in the future.
Upon our arrival we were very pleased with the cabin's spaciousness and very welcoming setting. Between the high ceilings and the multiple rooms, the gas burning fireplace it seemed more like a comfortable house versus just a cabin. The well stocked kitchen with a full sized refrigerator and a full sized washer and dryer "available made it easy to work in and allowed us to cook in" versus to eat out.
As far as the outside the view of the lake and three ways to access the waterfront was absolutly wonderful. We used 3 of the boats available for our use. We ate 2 meals on the adirondak chairs on the wrap around deck. The quiet lake and the lack of boats allowed for even some practice in rowing. Two days we just "stayed home" to "play on the lake.
Certainly we were pleased with the property and its amenities and with the entire experience.
