About this property

Build a fire, listen to trees/stream - Owner in the lodging industry for 30 yrs

Historic log cabin on 60 acres in the heart of Chequamegon National Forest. Pet Friendly.

Build a fire in the fieldstone fireplace - living room - picture window overlooking the forest and White River.
Build a fire in the woodstove on the 3-season screened porch. There are huge windows overlooking the forest and spring.
Build a fire in the campfire pit outside.

A spring flows by the cabin, emptying into a small pond, which overflows into the White River. The sound of wind rustling through the trees and the sound of water flowing by is constant and one of reasons White River Retreat is special.

The main body of the log cabin was built in the 1930s by craftsmen who understood the beauty as well as the functionality of log cabins. A large porch (20x30) and a second story was added to the cabin in 2010.

Floor 1: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, living room with a fieldstone fireplace and 3-season porch. Woodstove on porch and working fireplace in the living room. I provide the firewood.

Floor 2: 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths - well appointed with travertine tile, clawfoot tub, tile shower, reclaimed wood vanities, large bedrooms with views.

Bed configuration: 2 queen, 1 full, 2 twin. I provide the bed linens.

Kitchen: stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, pots/pans/dishes.

Basement - storage

I have co-owned/operated a lodge with multiple cabins near White River Retreat, for over 25 years. I understand what people are looking for in a vacation rental. I do my best to guide you toward this rental option if I feel that it matches your needs. I also steer you away from the cabin rental if it seems that this is not a good match for your needs. I want people to be happy here and leave feeling renewed by the experience.

The vacations that stay with you throughout the year are ones that allow you to recharge your energy and allow you to view your life's blessings and obstacles from a different perspective.

About the host

Hosted by Marilyn Einspanier

Host profile image
I live 2 miles from White River Retreat, at a resort which I co-own/operate with my former spouse. My two sons, aged 19 and 15, are a joy to watch grow into young men. Four newfoundland mixed breed dogs are a part of my life.

The vacations that stay with you throughout the year are ones that allow you to recharge your energy and allow you to view your life's blessings and obstacles from a different perspective.

Why they chose this property

As I live locally, I have known about this cabin, with the spring flowing through the grounds and the White River flowing by the cabin, for years. I fell in love with it when I saw it for the first time, visiting friends who owned it. Recently it became available for sale and I chose to take it on as my responsibility, believing that others would find it as beautiful and want to rent it. I own/operate a lodge/cabin rental business located 2 miles away. Owning/renting White River Retreat has been second nature for me, given my background.

What makes this property unique

* Log Cabin
* Sound of water flowing is musical and constant
* Large screened porch from which you can make a fire in the woodstove and watch the forest's pines swirling in the wind as you listen to the birds and the water flowing from the spring/stream
* Large fieldstone fireplace in the living room is a great place for a group to gather and talk
* full kitchen with a replica stove of the era in which the cabin was built
* 2.5 baths
* Near many attractions, including the Delta Diner (1 mile)
* Near the Apostle Islands, fishing villages on Lake Superior and Bayfield, WI
