About this property

The fishing is great! Trails are close by. Enjoy summer in the Northwoods!

Located in the heart of one of the largest trail systems in the US. Five miles from the town of Cable. Close to 3 Birkie trailheads: OO, Boedecker and Birkie Ridge. This cabin is located on a snowmobile/ATV route. Ski and bike tuning facilities provided in the sports room off the screened in porch. Enjoy the view of Pacwawong Springs (from the cabin or dock)- a waterfowl migration area with a pair of Trumpeter Swans here most of the year. The screened in porch is a great place to eat or read and not deal with bugs. There is a gas firepit and a large deck.

Getting Away

Phenomenal experience! The cabin far exceeded our expectations in condition, amenities, and location. We spent five nights and it was the perfect “base camp” for the gravel rides, hikes, and fishing that we did all around the Hayward/Seeley area. The live-in swans in the lake were great (get a bit loud at night sometimes) and the porch is a great place to sit with a cup of coffee in the morning or watch the stars at night. The hosts were so easy to work with and go above and beyond to provide a great guest experience. We will definitely be looking to book another trip soon. A+ all the way!

Relaxing and quiet

It was a very nicely updated place. We were able to sleep with the windows open and there were no sounds around to wake us until the swans started splashing around in the morning.

Beautiful property

My wife and I chose this property for a weekend getaway in spring. The cabin was tucked away, just off the main road to Hayward, secluded but easy to find. During our stay we had morning coffee on the screened in porch, reading and enjoying the views on the outdoor deck, and also spent time on the bench on the dock watching the visiting swans (we saw 22 one day!). The host was friendly and responsive, the property clean and well-maintained, we highly recommend if you are looking to relax and unwind.

The most complete cabin we’ve ever stayed in.

This is a great place to stay for a getaway to unwind, relax and enjoy a quiet wooded setting. It’s not a place to swim or fish,there are many of those places close by, but it’s a great place to take in the beauty of the north woods while sitting on a bench on the pier or taking a quiet canoe ride. We were there the end of June. The pond/spring/back water was coming alive. The tadpoles too numerous to count, several small families of ducks landing for a rest and the local turtle very busy digging holes to lay her eggs in the sandy gravel of the driveway.

Tranquility

The cabin is quaint, warm and charming. The decor greets you with a smile as you walk in, but the amenities make your stay comfortable and convenient. The quality of kitchen ware is top notch. My pots and pans at home should be so nice. There was nothing we wish was there that wasn't, and the communication with our host was exemplary. Thank you for a weekend of tranquility and rejuvenation. We were very pleased with our stay.

Winter biking getaway

Five star stay! Location is just minutes to all the fantastic trails. Had a such a wonderful time at this cozy cabin. The hosts do such a great job in the upkeep and care of the property. It was very clean and comfortable. There were even games, puzzles and books which I thought was a nice touch. We are looking forward to another stay here again, this time to enjoy some warm weather activities. If you’re looking for a great place to unwind and enjoy nature, you won’t be disappointed with this cabin! Thanks Le and Terry! It was perfect!! Laurie and Bob

Winter Ski Weekend

We had a great time staying at the cabin for a long weekend skiing on the Birkie trails. It was so convenient to get to OO Trailhead and Birkie Ridge. The cabin was well stocked with kitchen essentials and there were lots of extra blankets available. The cabin stayed plenty warm despite frigid conditions for a couple of nights. The gas fireplace/stove provides most of the heat for the main living space. The kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom have separately controlled baseboard heaters, and there is also a space heater available. Would definitely stay here again for a family getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Le Sedlacek and Terry Dahmen

Host profile image
We retired from our respective careers: Le as a nurse practitioner in neurology and Terry from municipal park and grounds maintenance. We decided to move farther north in Wisconsin to start a vacation rental business. We both love hosting. The ample opportunity for multiple outdoor summer and winter sports keeps us loving the area.

Why they chose this property

The log cabin has served as the perfect area for respite from daily life or the place to have easy access to multiple trail heads. Our guests have loved the ability to disconnect.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful-no motor boats on the lake. Gigantic white and red pine trees. Town is just 5 miles away if you need groceries or other basics.
