The cabin is within one mile of the brand-new Seeley Nordic Ski Center. You can bike, ski, hike, or snowshoe for days right from the cabin. There are snowmobile trails close, but we do not have direct access to get on them so you will have to trailer them to the trail head. The driveway has ample space and features is oval to allow you to easily maneuver your trailered toys on and off the property.
After your outdoor adventure, relax in the 3-season porch or outdoor patio with a book or board game, watch a movie, take a soak in the bathtub, relax in the wood-fired outdoor SAUNA or build a fire in the back-yard fire pit and enjoy the dark skies.
We have set the max occupancy to 8 people. Previous guests (prior owner) have provided high praise for the property and has consistently provided great experiences for their guests. This cabin is now under new ownership but will provide just the same excellent experience for the guests.

Winter Wonderland

My family loved our stay at this beautiful cabin. It is very secluded and private. The layout and decor inside is what you would expect from this type of vacation home. Linen and bedding are top notch. We wish there were more snow to be able to cross country ski and it would be nice to have kettle and bigger pot among kitchen amenities. Definitely would like to stay again

Nordic Weekend Basecamp

Great place in a great location! Drove to the Hayward area with three friends to ski the Birkie trail. This place was as advertised. Clean and comfortable space with plenty of room to spread out. Close to OO trailhead. Having the sauna was perfect to recharge for the next day of skiing. Looking forward to coming back during bike season to enjoy the nearby Camba trails and the three season porch!

Relaxing Stay #Zen

It’s a beautiful property! It was the perfect environment to come back to after mountain biking for a few hours. They had everything to make a nice dinner to roasting marshmallows (both amazing). It rained one day and we hung out in the three season porch with the fire roaring. The sauna was also easy to use and was perfect! Would recommend to friends and family! They were very communicative/responsive when we had a question :)

About the host

Hosted by martin widenbrant

Host profile image
Our family lives in Stillwater MN and love the outdoors, mountain biking, Boundary Waters Wilderness and winter activities such as nordic and downhill skiing. This is our first venture into short term rentals. We've often felt disappointed in the quality of properties, cleaning and maintenance which is why we want you to rent this property and enjoy a luxurious stay in solitude in a clean well kept property.

Why they chose this property

The direct access to the Birkie trail and the CAMBA trails at the end of the private road (less than 500 yards) made this the perfect property for both quiet living solitude in the woods and access to outdoors activities the perfect blend.

What makes this property unique

This property in the woods was a custom-built house for year-round living. No expenses were spared when the house was designed and built in 2014, so the guests will enjoy this wonderful property and not be disappointed with a cabin with ingrained dirt from the past five decades.
