About this property

Rustic Lakefront Log Cabin Retreat w/Pontoon included Memorial to Labor Day

Beautifully renovated 1940's rustic log cabin retreat on Lake 26 in Danbury, WI. Originally built in 1940 as the main lodge for Idle Wild resort, this historic log cabin will take you back in time for your stay. The entire cabin has been recently renovated to provide for your every comfort and modern convenience. Gather and relax by the lake, on the deck, or in the large screened porch overlooking the crystal clear Lake 26.

The screened in porch connects the (1940) traditional log cabin to the newer (2006) annex. There are four bedrooms, two located in the main cabin with king sized beds. There is a loft with TV and two twin pull-out chairs, a couch, and a futon. Also in the main cabin are one bathroom with tub/shower, a well equipped kitchen, and cozy family/dining room with a wood burning fireplace for the colder months. Vaulted ceilings with beautiful old log cabin charm and a screened in porch and deck. There is even a bench on the porch that converts to a bed for the more adventurous sleeper! Gorgeous views of the lake through the red and white pines.

In the annex addition, accessed by the screened in porch, you will find the third and fourth bedrooms. One bedroom with a queen bed and another with two twin beds and one bunk bed. In addition, the second full bathroom with shower contains a washer and dryer.

Amenities include the use of 3 paddle boards and 2 kayaks in order to explore the 250 acre lake with it's multiple bays to fish or observe the abundant wildlife. The use of a pontoon is also provided with your stay starting Memorial weekend through Labor Day weekend. Rental prices reflect included pontoon between those two holiday weekends. Pontoon comes with 8 standard sized life jackets. Please follow WI state law for fishing licenses and wearing life jackets while using any watercraft including paddle boards and kayaks. Lake 26 has great fishing for bass, northerns, muskies, and sunnies.

This cabin is the perfect, rustic, northern WI, experience for the family. The sandy shore is great for swimming & the cabin faces west for beautiful sunsets. For hikers and mountain bike enthusiasts you'll find a wide variety of trails in the area including the 24 mile Bramble Trail just 1/4 mile down the road. Also nearby is the Namekagon river, which is a nationally designated scenic waterway open to kayaking, canoeing or tubing. There is plenty to do in this beautiful area. Golf courses nearby and many bars and restaurants to visit in the close towns of Siren, Webster, Danbury, and Voyager Village. Enjoy hiking, biking or rent an ATV or UTV and head to the endless number of ATV/UTV/mountain bike/ and snowmobile trails.

Family Get-away

What an amazing place to stay! The property is absolutely beautiful and the cabin was spotless! We loved the three season porch! The annex addition made it so we were able to have two families stay very comfortably! The pontoon was wonderful, and the kids loved the beach and water toys.

Family Week

Great stay! Grandma and Grandpa struggled with the 46 steps from dock to deck but the rest of the family was fine with it - even our 3 yo grandson. Loved that the beautiful and clean pontoon boat came wit the rental. May be nack!

Family Getaway

We booked this house for a week long family vacation and it did not disappoint. We had seven adults and one infant and had plenty of space for everyone. The screened in patio was our favorite place to hang out. We loved having access to the boat and quick access to the UTV trails. We are already looking forward to coming back next summer!

Family vacation!

We had a great long weekend stay! Beautiful cabin, great views, fun on the water, good fishing, Pardun’s canoe rental on the St. Croix- (Jerry’s the best) and beautiful trails! So much to do, lots of nature to see! We will definitely be back. Owners did a great job communicating with us and the place is fully stocked - really enjoyed the cabin esp the front porch.

Beautiful lakefront cabin

The property was perfect for multiple families with separate living spaces. Best sunsets I’ve ever seen looking west over the lake. Plenty of activities for kids and adults between the pontoon boat an paddle boards/kayak. Everything was great. We will Definitely try to book this property every year

Wisconsin Paradise

This property was perfection! It is beautiful and clean. The lake was great for fishing and playing. Everything we needed was there waiting for us. All the "extras" exceeded everything we could have wished for. We can't wait to go go back!

The One

My family (husband, myself and two small children), sibling and parents have been coming up to Northwoods WI every Summer since 2020 and haven't stayed at the same place twice. This cabin is definitely worth a repeat visit! The annex addition is wonderful to keep the kids area separate when sleeping. The house is very nicely stocked - kitchen, bath, lake accessories, etc. We loved the use of the kayaks, paddle boards and pontoon!! Having a screened in area was definitely what has been missing from other homes - outdoor/lake vibes without the bugs. The lake area is absolutely perfect - wonderful dock with nice chairs/bench, steps down into crystal clear water and sandy bottom!! We also caught so many fish right off the dock! This cabin was definitely... the one!

The BEST cabin/lake/northwoods getaway!

We LOVED every minute of our stay at this delightful place! It was incredibly clean, furnished perfectly, had ample sleeping for our family of 5, the perfect kitchen with all the tools we needed, lots of outdoor places to sit and dine, a BEAUTIFUL screened porch where we drank coffee every morning and ate dinner every night, a picturesque zero-gravity, sandy lake entrance, and a lovely boat to cruise around in! Absolutely recommend 100% if you're looking for a family (or friends) get away! Looking forward to when we can rent this very special place again! Cant say enough aobut how memorable our experience was!

Magical Cabin on Crystal Clear Lake

This isn't your typical cabin... it has the details of a traditional log cabin, but the modern amenities for a family. Our hosts thought of every detail to ensure we had an incredible experience. From charging stations on each nightstand to the immaculate pontoon, there wasn't an amenity lacking at the property. It is large enough for a big family, yet has intimate and private spaces for each person to retreat and relax. I cannot describe the indelible memories we created during our week at the cabin. P.S. I highly recommend you book this cabin, and be sure to ask about the tiny "cabin gnome" above the fireplace! :)

Wonderful Layout!

When you pull up to this cabin it looks quite rustic - which made us a bit nervous. Coming to the lake side on the deck and going in quelled all fears. It is kind of 2 cabins connected by a 3-season porch. For a mixed group it is a really nice arrangement. Going into the historic cabin, the living spaces, kitchen and loft are really nice. The kitchen is very nicely appointed with a grille right outside on the deck. Everything you need for cooking and grilling is there. The 'annex' cabin is 2 rooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms are comfortable and clean. The bathrooms are nice (also clean) - the main cabin has 2 more bedrooms and a bathroom, and the loft upstairs is a nice getaway if you need it. We spent a lot of time in the 3 season porch which was the perfect size for chatting, playing games, and eating for a large group. Outside, the dock and sandy bottom swimming area was great - and easy for launching the kayaks and paddleboards. The pontoon is very nice. We used it for fishing in the mornings (decent fishing lake - northern pike, bluegills, sunfish, bass) and took evening cruises around the lake. The fire pit has new furniture and enough seating for a large group. Summertime s'mores, some beers, watching the sunset and listening to the loons is what north lake country is all about. We dont typically repeat cabin rentals as we like to move around - but we WILL be coming back to this one.
