About this property

Little House In The Big Woods

***Winter Special Offer: Book 3 nights, get the 4th night FREE!***

Enjoy a cozy winter getaway in this cabin. Offer valid for new bookings only for stays between October 1st, 2024 and May 12th, 2025. Not available for special event weekends or holiday weekends. Blackout dates may apply. Book your winter escape today!

This dog friendly and affordable cabin is the perfect getaway. It's tucked off the road in a heavily wooded area making it feel like your all alone in the big woods but the cabin also has lake access and a private pier for guests to use on the Chippewa Flowage.

Best practice Covid cleaning protocols in place. Ask us about it. In addition to the lake access the Snowmobile trails run right by this home allowing guests to park their trailers and ride right from the home. The cozy outdoor fire pit is the perfect place to relax after a long day on the water or trails and the spacious kitchen has everything you need to cook and server meals to your travel companions. Off water prices with the added benefit of a private pier on the Chippewa Flowage to tie your boat up during your stay.

Bedroom 1 One Queen
Bedroom 2 One double and one twin
Sun porch one twin
Living Room One futon

House is professionally cleaned and linens are laundered commercially between guests to comply with Covid cleaning guidelines.

NOTE- This house is NOT on the water. It's part of the old Dun Rovin Resort on the Chippewa Flowage. The boat slip that comes with this cabin is by the old main lodge area. Guests can leave their boat at the dock while renting the cabin and access the water from that area but the house is off the water in a wooded area and is very private and peaceful. The home also has easy access to the Snowmobile trails.

Seasons:
4 night Minimum Mid June to Aug
3 night Minimums May and September and Holidays
4 night minimum for Birkie week
2 night minimum stay the rest of the year

NOTE- This house is not on the water. It's one of the cabins that was at one time part of the old Dun Rovin Resort. The house is in the woods near the water. The home includes a private boat slip to use during your stay but the boat slip is a few blocks down the road. Most of our guests leave their boat at the slip during their stay.

Dog Friendly - Tell us about your dog. We allow up to two well-behaved dogs with pre-approval and an additional fee. We just ask that you pick up in the yard after your dog. What family vacation would be complete without your four-legged friends. Sorry, no cats, please.

Great late fall musky home

I love late fall Musky fishing. Finding a place to stay mid to late October on the Chip is next to impossible. Luckily, I discovered this place. Very nice. I’ll gladly stay here again. Pretty close to a couple of restaurants that stay open late in the season. It has a very nice kitchen, but for those who chuck large lures all day, you know you don’t feel like cooking at the end of the day. Anyway, I put it on my stay again list.

Just what we wanted

We were very pleased with our stay there Birkie week. The house was nice and everything worked fine. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Being able to bring our dogs made the trip that much better.

Kinda disapointed !

The Little House in the Big Woods is a nice place ! Everything was well , but when the first night i was in the 2nd bedroom with 2 beds i was going to watch the TV and guess what the TV was broken like it was dropped ! well i tried to contact Manage Cabins and left a voice message with no reply , so the next thing my watch dropped on the floor in the same room and boy look at all the dust and food under the beds , Wow for someone who charges 150 dollar cleaning fee , i was pretty disapointed we got to stay in that ! I tryed calling again and still no responce !

Nice property

The house was great for what we needed. The space is nice and the grounds are really pretty. It's really nice to have a dock available to park a boat for the stay. The dock was difficult to find though, because the reflector that was supposed to be on the dock was gone. Also, the house is not close to the water and the neighbors we encountered were not nice. One man was sitting in his front yard holding a gun, which was a little scary. Also we had a run-in with a man at the Dun Rovin property who threatened me.

Had a great stay at the cabin! Super location, very well equipped and clean cabin and good fishing! It was very nice to be able to leave our boat at the dock only minutes away from the cabin. The AC worked great, beds were comfortable, had tv and all the amenities of home. Would definitely stay again! Thank you

Great space

The inside was very nice and spacious, and the outside is wonderful with the fire pit close to the cabin and an outside table underneath the pergola. The only drawback was the high table & high chairs, so it was difficult for some of us to sit at. Thankfully, there was a card table and chairs that we could set up in the living room.

Perfect location Snowmobile trip

Great spot for snowmobile trip. 15-20min trail ride out of Hayward. Right on the Chippewa Flowage. The trail is right on the road. Cabin is nice and clean would sleep 4-5 adults comfortably in their own bed/ futon. I will be back in the future.

Rough start, but good location

This is my 2nd stay at the cabin so I had the same expectations as before. But when we showed up the places hadn’t even been cleaned! We waited a couple hours after contacting company to get back in. Still dirty and no thicker blankets available as they were taken to be laundered. Price also increased a lot from last years trip. Good parking and location to lakes we were fishing. Make sure to bring your own towels and bath stuff along with TP. We got left a half a roll !

Little House in Big Woods

This is a very nice and well-kept cabin. We had 3 adults all week and 4 other adults were there a day or two, but not all at the same time. You could not sleep 7 adults as the ad says unless 2 adults will sleep in a double and on a futon. We had some minor issues, which I left notice about in the guest book. You might want the cleaning company to clean the stove top. We didn't find the extra blankets and it was cold the first days we were there. The furnace/AC is weird, but so was our weather. I would not stay in this cabin if you are planning to fish. Loved the porch and the fire pit!

Nice place

Great place for family of seven. The location of the house is great for bringing your pets and not being around other people. The location of the dock is a bit of an inconvenience but works. Internet was out for almost the entire week we were there we didn’t really miss it. Except for playing music from spotify. Lol. Thank you for sharing your home. Clean and well equipped.

Incredible space, lake a short distance away

We felt so fortunate to find this rental space 20 minutes outside of The town of Hayward, WI. The pictures were accurate for the rental. The property is very secluded and the house is well maintained and charming. The kitchen had everything we would have wanted for appliances and utensils. The board games inside the home and yard games were a nice touch as was the guest book. The lake was further than we would prefer from the property-the distance deterred us from using it more. The property manager received via texting is clearly a bot (digitally generated). My partner mentioned it felt commercial because of all the kitschy stuff in the home, which he didn’t like. I would recommend putting a rug or mat over the trap door to the basement in the bathroom to deter kids from opening it. Otherwise, we would consider returning if it was less expensive because of the distance from the lake.
