About this property

Lakefront Log Cabin located directly on UTV and snowmobile trails

Welcome to our log cabin on beautiful and crystal clear Island Lake near Barnes, WI! Island Lake is over 50' deep and approximately 60 acres. It is large enough for skiing and tubing but small enough for kayaking and paddle-boarding and doesn't have the heavy boat traffic of a larger lake. The lake is almost all sand-bottom and you can swim or float right from the shore and our dock!

Our outdoor accommodations include a Weber gas grill, swing and picnic table near the lake, a fire-pit and a dining table on the deck overlooking the lake. We have 2 stand-up paddle-boards, a canoe and a paddleboat available for your use. We have a dock available if you would like to bring your own boat or rent a boat and have it delivered to our lake.

Our home is perfect for year-round recreation as it is located directly on a snowmobile/ATV trail and features a huge trailer-friendly circle drive with plenty of parking (and a basketball hoop). The home features heated floors and a wood burning stove on the main level for the cold months and air conditioning for the hot months! We also have a back-up generator should the power ever go out during your stay.

The main floor features complete living facilities including a main floor bedroom with a king bed, a bathroom with a tub and a washer and dryer. Enjoy the gorgeous lake views from the open floor-plan and complete wall of windows and doors to the deck overlooking the lake! The master suite is upstairs and includes a queen bed and large master bath with a separate tub and shower and walk-in closet. The lower level features 2 bedrooms overlooking the lake, a a family/game room with a sleeper sofa, air hockey table, foosball table, dart board, an arcade game and another bathroom with a shower! The first lower level bedroom has a queen bed and the second has a twin over full bunk bed and an additional twin bed. There is new carpet and fresh paint throughout the entire home. Please note that we allow a max of 8 adults with a total max of 12 guests, including children.

Our location is great…Cable, Duluth and Hayward are all within a short drive!! We are an easy drive from the Twin Cities (approximately 3 hours and all on paved roads). We are also not far from Bayfield, where you can hop on a ferry to Madeline Island for a fun day trip! Let me know if you have questions about our location or activities! We would love to share our home with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Please note that I try to accommodate last minute rentals but it is not always possible with our cleaner’s schedule…please send a message (rather than try to book) to inquire if you are trying to book last minute. After your booking is accepted I will email you additional info pertaining to the cabin and surrounding area. We love repeat renters and do offer a discount so message to inquire if you’ve stayed with us before! Thank you!

Fun Birkie weekend getaway

This home was a great place to stay for the Birkie weekend. The home was clean and comfortable with a kitchen that worked well for preparing meals. The location was 1/2 way between Cable and Hayward, which worked wonderfully for getting skiers to and from their various race starts and finishes. Would recommend staying here!

Great stay at this beautiful cabin!

We had a wonderful stay here and enjoyed everything about our experience. The kids liked the downstairs area and the adults enjoyed being upstairs. The kitchen had a lot of thoughtful items so we didn't have to bring along a lot in that area besides food. We would definitely stay again! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

The cabin is well kept and spacious, and we felt at home as soon as we walked through the door. The whole family enjoyed playing on the sandy beach, swimming, and fishing for bluegill off the dock. Angie is a wonderful host! We’d definitely stay again.

Wonderful property setting

The house was perfect for our group of 6 guys on a ATV/side x side trip. The home was well furnished with supplies and kitchen items. Beautiful view of the lake through the large bank of windows/doors and deck area. Ample parking for 3-4 trucks with trailers. House provides open concept for gathering in dining room, kitchen and living area. Large wrap around deck is a nice bonus. I highly recommend this home!! Angie does a great job of communicating throughout the entire process.

Amazing Family Cabin

We rented this cabin for our family weekend and it was wonderful. The house has plenty of space for people to enjoy, things for the kids to do and the lakefront and fire pit are perfect! The kitchen has all the necessary things you would need to cook a family meal. So nice not having to bring all that extra with us.

About the host

Hosted by Angie Harbaugh

Host profile image
My husband and I have 3 older kids. We live in the Twin Cities. Our oldest just graduated from the University of Wisconsin- Madison, our middle attends the University of Iowa and our youngest is in still in high school. Our youngest plays sports so it is hard for us to get to our cabin as often as we would like, which is why we have chosen to share it with others!

Why they chose this property

We chose this cabin because we love the peaceful wooded lake and love that it is a real log cabin! We also love how deep, clear and quiet the lake is! I love that it usually quiet enough to paddle board and we spend hours on floaties in our shallow beach area!

What makes this property unique

We love that you can swim and float right from our yard! We have rented a ton of cabins in various locations prior to purchasing this one and we've never had such good swimming (and clear, clean water) right from shore and our dock!
