Natures retreat! Lakeside log cabin on 7 acres! Hike, fish, swim, kayak, spa!

Escape to the enchanting Blackberry Lodge, a rustic PET FRIENDLY Amish-built log cabin nestled in the breathtaking beauty of central Wisconsin. This idyllic lakefront retreat offers a serene getaway surrounded by nature's wonders.

Step outside and take in the peaceful ambiance as you explore the sandy beach along the shimmering lakefront. Listen to the soothing sounds of a nearby stream as you relax and unwind in our cedar barrel steam sauna, a perfect way to rejuvenate your body and soul.

Blackberry Lodge is situated on seven acres of pristine nature, providing ample opportunities to explore and connect with the outdoors. Embark on adventures along the trails that wind through the property, immersing yourself in the natural splendor that surrounds you.

For water lovers, we offer kayaks, paddle boats, a canoe, and even fishing opportunities, allowing you to make the most of the sparkling waters. Bask in the sun on our beachside sun deck, feeling the warm sand beneath your toes and enjoying the breathtaking lake views. Or swim from the pontoon raft, jumping into the crystal-clear waters of the lake.

As the day turns into evening, gather around the inviting fire pits and share stories, toast marshmallows, and create unforgettable memories under the starlit sky. Take advantage of the excellent stargazing opportunities that this remote location provides, immersing yourself in the wonder of the night sky. Or head off to the Blackberry bar, a separate retreat on the property with an all-log bar and game room that has foosball, darts, and a captivating wood burning stove.

Blackberry Lodge features expansive cedar decks, providing ample space to relax, unwind, and take in the panoramic views of the natural surroundings. And if you're a grill enthusiast, you'll appreciate the new Weber grill, perfect for preparing delicious meals while enjoying the outdoor ambiance.

While Blackberry Lodge offers a captivating escape surrounded by nature, should you ever decide to venture out (although you may never want to), you'll find yourself conveniently located just a few miles from the charming downtown of Wautoma. This quaint little town offers a delightful array of shops, restaurants, grocery stores, farmers markets, coffee shops, a lovely wine bar, and warm and welcoming locals, ensuring you have everything you need.

If you're in the mood for exploration, Wisconsin Dells is a mere 1.5 hours away, offering a thrilling destination with water parks, entertainment, and attractions for the whole family to enjoy.

For golf enthusiasts, two beautiful 18-hole public courses are less than 5 minutes away, providing ample opportunities to tee off amidst scenic surroundings.

Just one mile away, you'll find Big Silver Lake, a full waterski lake, with a public boat landing. It's the perfect spot for boating enthusiasts to indulge in water adventures and create lasting memories.

Despite the convenient proximity to these attractions, Blackberry Lodge retains its sense of being nestled in the middle of nowhere, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility and seclusion of nature without sacrificing access to nearby amenities and activities.

Blackberry Lodge offers the perfect harmonious blend of rustic charm, outdoor adventure, and tranquility. Whether you're seeking a peaceful lakefront retreat in nature or looking to explore the nearby attractions, our lodge provides an ideal base for your getaway.

Perfect Wautoma Cabin.
Beautiful log cabin set on 7 acres of wooded property. Pet friendly, several trails with soft landscape lighting for night walks, wood sauna steps from cabin, beautiful wrap around deck, new large grill, plenty of wood in wood shed for fire pit along with a wagon to load and carry wood, several watercraft available with easy access, peaceful and quiet, only a 6 minute drive to Mt. Mount Morris Mill coffee shop for coffee. The stream can be heard from the cabin deck, cornhole just outside of the cabin, family and card games available, plenty of outdoor lighting available, several planters throughout property filled with flowers. Fun little extra cabin next to fire pit with foosball, a mini-bar, and its own screened in porch with chairs. Comfortable seating by corn hole, fire pit, and on deck, as well as benches along side the trails and stream. Plenty of towels and extra blankets if needed. Bonus to have a clear view from the lake of the Northern Lights! Andrew was the perfect host, providing every detail prior to check in, confirming we checked in ok, and prompt follow up to all communication. Highly recommend!

Remote cabin- perfect for kids & dogs!
My husband and I, plus my parent's, two kiddos, and two pups all spent a long weekend at Andrew's cabin. Everything about this place was exactly what we were looking for. As mentioned, it sits on seven acres with plenty of areas to explore. We spent a lot of mornings out on the paddle boats with the kids and pups. The water was obviously a little too cold for us humans, but that didn't stop the pups from taking a dip. The cabin itself is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need including free popcorn! The host also left us blackberry jam, blackberry chocolates, and blackberry flavored water. DELICIOUS! We loved enjoying the fire pit and the game room. Although the cabin feels very remote, the town of Wautoma and nearby smaller towns have plenty to do. Lots of wineries, breweries and eating establishments. We'd love to return to this place when the weather is nice and we can do more swimming. Crystal clear water and shallow enough for our kids to enjoy. Obviously, I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for a weekend getaway- especially if you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Great getaway!!!
My family really enjoyed the peace and tranquility. They also enjoyed watching the wild life. The lake if very low and did not see any fish. If staying the in area and plan to fish, you may want to fish on one of the larger lakes in the area. There is an abundance of lakes in the area.

Sweet Relief
What a delightful stay! Our group vacationed at this wonderful property to celebrate a 50th birthday. We had the BEST time. From taking walks on the incredible property, to relaxing in the sauna after a long, beautiful day, you cannot go wrong! It was a sweet relief from hectic busy days. Also, on a more practical note, the beds are comfortable and the owner is very responsive. Zero complaints!!!

Fine visit to Wautoma cabin
I'll echo what others have said. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cabin is very nice and very well stocked. The surroundings are great and dogs as well as humans had fun exploring. And we definitely took advantage of having access to the lake, canoe, kayaks. Andrew was a fine host--on the ball with instructions and checking that we got in OK, etc. Definitely recommend.

Excellent Cabin getaway
Beautiful property and log cabin. Great location for a weekend away from home for our family of 5 with 3 elementary school aged kids and the dog as well. Cabin felt very tucked away and secluded in nature with no signs of any neighbors from the cabin, yet only a 10 minute drive to town with easy access to groceries or restaurants if desired. The wooded property had a beautiful autumnal appearance and we took advantage of the kayaks and paddleboats, but we'd love to come back in the summer to actually go for a swim in the shallow, clear lake. The place was definitely as described and as pictured. We had no issues throughout our stay, however, I can say that the host Andrew was great with communication quickly responding to texts as we prepared for the stay and welcoming us/checking in once we arrived. Overall the trip was just what we needed and we would definitely return!
