This isn’t just a cabin—it’s your private Northwoods reset.

Newly remodeled with a clean, Scandinavian aesthetic, this 550 sq ft cabin feels open, calm, and intentionally designed.

We have stayed here several times over the years and always love coming back. The cabin is the perfect size, the area is beautiful and Jesse is a great host!
The cabin was very clean and well appointed. It was perfect for me, spouse, and dog and the area was lovely in the fall. The only surprise was how close the neighboring properties were; however the lake only has about 10 properties so I expect it would still feel quiet even if everyone was there.
Great cabin for our week of snow shoeing the CAMBA trails. Centrally located. Close to the Sawmill Saloon for great food.The cabin was warm, bed and shower were great! Kitchen is well stocked. FYI-Coffee pot is not a Kuerig. Had one question of the Host and she got back to us right away. Will most likely come back next year.
We have stayed at this property multiple times and it’s always a great experience. Great ownership/management, clean, comfortable and just a great environment for relaxing.
Everything was perfect from the cabin to the location. The host was great and incredibly accommodating. We really enjoyed the awesome views, getting out on the lake, and we hada fun time at the beach as well. Thank you for the great stay.
We had a fabulous time at this cabin. It was super clean and modern - we loved it. The spring-fed lake was beautiful and perfect for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. We can't wait to come back!

About the host
Hosted by Jesse Izquierdo
Hello from the Izquierdo family. We're an adventurous family that, when not traveling, reside in the Twin Cities. With two busy outdoorsy kids, we look for every opportunity to set off on adventures and expose our kids to the natural world. We've always loved the Cable Hayward area for the endless recreational opportunities and are so lucky to call it our second home. We're so excited to be able to provide our family and other families the opportunity to access the wonders of the North Woods.
Why they chose this property
Silverthorn Lake is a unique treasure in its close proximity to all the world class trails (3 miles to OO Trailhead & 9 miles to Birkie Trailhead) and being equidistance to Hayward (10 miles) and Cable (7 miles), while still having quality lake access. If you're looking for quick access to world class trails, spring fed water for swimming and easy access to town amenities, this is your spot!
No one goes on vacation wanting to spend more time in a car. Silverthorn Lake is all about having more time to play and relax!
