🔹The "big" cabin is 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and 900 sq/ft. The main level has a queen bedroom, one bathroom, and the common areas such as living, dining, and kitchen. The loft is the 2nd bedroom with a King bed & queen tri-fold mattress in the closet. Steps are involved entering the cabin, as well as to the loft.
🔴 PROPERTY SUMMARY 🔴
🔸 This property has two cabins, about 40 yards apart. This rental is the BIG cabin (2bd 1ba) ONLY. The driveway into the property is shared with both cabins. The interior of the big cabin is 100% private. The deck of the big cabin is private. However, all exterior amenities such as the sauna, grill, games, fire pit by the water, kayaks, and more, are shared with the small cabin.
🔹This cabin sits elevated and offset from the water about 60 yards, so your view from the cabin's are overlooking the water, bluffs and driftless region.
🔸Our 6 acre property sits on the Bad Axe River, also known as a "Class 1" trout stream. The spacious layout is ideal for families, groups, fishermen, outdoorsman, adventure seekers, or homebodies in need of a getaway
🔹A short walk from the cabin to the river gives you access to swim, fish, and launch the kayaks or tubes. We do not offer transportation back to the property, but there is a public pick up point 2 miles down the river for kayaker's or tubers to get out of the water safely to drive back to the property.
🔸Along the river we have about 100 yards of frontage to fish for trout, take a dip, or just sit in peace as the water flows downstream. In the large grassy area, we have an 8 seat fire pit, and other seating area to soak in the sights and sounds of nature.
🔹In the large grassy area, we have a 3 hole disc golf "course", badminton net with rackets, football, soccer ball, frisbee, corn hole, and ball toss.
🔸Headed back to the cabins, you'll find a shared hang out area on the side of the big cabin where you can relax in our 6 person sauna that can reach 170-185 °F. The sauna will take about 40 min to get to full temperatures.
🔹Next to the sauna is a 2nd fire pit area with string lights (private to the big cabin). This is also a flat area, ideal for corn hole.
🔸About 40 yards away on the right side of the small cabin is one of the best seating spots on the property. You can lounge in our comfy wicker swing while taking in the view
🔹Inside the big cabin, the kitchen is fully stocked for your cooking needs
🔸Families will have access to a pack n play, high chair and kids dinnerware
🔹The big big cabin has breakfast bar seating with 2 barstools, quartz countertops, and a dining table steps away that comfortably sits 6. This is the perfect area for groups or families to enjoy a meal or play a board game.
🔸After brewing your complimentary coffee or heating some tea, you can step outside onto the deck overlooking the bluffs and water.
🔹Make yourself at home with our washer and dryer located in the basement of the big cabin - detergent is free
