Very Private Cabin on Upper Twin Lake...Great Views...Close to Trails!

Built as a winter or summer escape for a couple or small family, this beautiful four season cabin is a great way to experience the Northwoods of Wisconsin and Hayward area. The home is very private and has great access to the lake, and nearby trails.

The cabin sits on 3.5 acres with 350 feet of frontage on Upper Twin Lake, making for a very private experience. The surroundings and views are very natural. The house itself is of the classic Northwoods archetype: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, wood fireplace, and ample kitchen, living, porch, and deck space. The kitchen has all the essentials, the bedrooms are cozy, and the fireplace (high-efficiency) will keep you warm at night.

We've made the outside space as enjoyable as possible with a fire pit (firewood provided), picnic area, and dock for your boat. There is a large swim raft 70 yards from dock (take the canoe) in 10-13 feet of spring fed water.

The home is located on the northeastern tip of Upper Twin Lake. The lake is noted for it's great musky and bass fishing, and clear, spring-fed waters. It is also big and deep enough for water skiing and tubing. Upper Twin connects to Lower Twin and the Tiger Cat Flowage, so there is a lot of water to explore. Bird watching is exceptional. Expect to see ducks, geese, swans, and sandhill cranes in the marshy bay in front of the cabin throughout the year. A family of otters doing cute otter things makes an appearance from time to time!

If you are looking to relax in private with your loved ones, this place exudes family time. Whether it is canoeing on the lake, boating to the Blackiron Bar for a burger, catching some fresh fish for dinner, biking the forest roads, or reading on the porch, you will be able to relax undisturbed in this unique Northwoods retreat.

Winter is a very special time here. Whether it is a snowshoe down the shore of the lake, ice fishing, an XC ski session on the famous Birkie trail (5 minutes away), or a weekend of snowmobiling...winter is a great! Try visiting in winter...you will be glad you did!

With the famous resort town of Hayward just 12 miles away you can choose from a variety of world class attractions, restaurants, and shops. There are also several bars, restaurants, and supper clubs within a 3 mile radius.

Please note that in peak summer I may only allow Sunday and Thursday turnovers, so stays will have to be 3 or 4 days or any combination thereof. Additional check-in/check-out restrictions may be in place for holidays or events. Saturday check-ins and check-outs are never allowed so as not to break up weekends. If you are unable to book the dates you want, please feel free to message me. Special allowances can be made in certain scenarios.

Great location

Nice property in a great location. Problem is there was no air conditioning and with the extensive heat at the beginning of our stay and the bad air quality due to the Canadian fires we were not able to enjoy the cabin as we would have liked. We ended up leaving one night early.

Upper Twin Lake Cabin

This northwoods cabin was nice. Check-in was super simple. The inside of the cabin was very tidy. The main reason we chose this cabin was for the enclosed porch with views of the lake. Downside, only two windows had screens which limited the lake breezes. Kayaking was good.

Cozy Anniversary Getaway

We had a fantastic time in this cozy cabin for an relaxing anniversary getaway. Close enough to town to easily stock up on supplies, but far enough from the highway that you can feel totally disconnected from the outside world. The view of the lake out the back wall of windows is fabulous. And the place was well stocked with firewood and board games and puzzles for cozy nights in. It was exactly the kind of relaxing getaway we were hoping for.

Breathtaking views!

We decided last minute to get away for a quick, midweek relaxation trip. We now wish we’d booked this cabin for a week! Check-in was a breeze, the cabin was spotless, and the western facing view of the lake was gorgeous at every hour of the day. The cabin is set back on a picturesque, tree-framed road with little to no traffic. We enjoyed morning walks with our coffee, and late nights around the campfire with our cocktails. (All firewood was provided!) We just can’t say enough great things about this place! Thanks for a great stay - we will definitely be back!

Nature lover’s paradise

Absolutely loved our stay at this comfortable cabin. The porch is fantastic and in early May was a great place to listen to the deafening sounds of the spring peepers and eerie loon calls at night. There is a canoe for paddling around (which we did) and the fire pit was a great way to cap off the days. Nearby Birkie trails were convenient for hiking. Would love to stay here again if/when I find myself back in the Hayward area. Thanks Cassidy for sharing your property!

Summer shutdown trip 2023

The cabin was very clean ..looked exactly as the pictures online..The host always Replied back to my email questions…. The only Negative thingI can say about the stay is that the depth of the water by the dock and how weedy the water was to get out into the bigger part of the lake.. But overall I would definitely stay at this Cabin again…

Better than we could’ve imagined

This was the BEST get away for our anniversary, not just us but for our doggies. It’s extremely rare we’re able to take them anywhere , and if we do the places usually aren’t the cleanest and/or well kept. This cabin was beautiful. We felt right at home immediately, especially our dogs. If the days after us weren’t booked we would’ve 100% extended our stay. The price is extremely reasonable, directions are very easy to follow. Cassidy really worked with us through some family emergencies. It’s clear she’s very on top of things with the cabin, we are 100% planning on booking again!

Great- even in the shoulder season

No snow, and too early and cold for outdoor activities, but we still had a great time! The ice was just starting to melt and both geese and swans graced us with their presence. The fireplace was wonderful. We actually didn't eat out at all and found cooking there to be fine. One thing I didn't see in the description or reviews is that the porch is independently heated, so you can use it year round. (forgive me if I'm wrong about that). The porch is beautiful! It's about 10-15" out of Hayward, so just a short trip to town. Thank you!

Not a good trip

Where do I start ! The cabin was not very well clean cob webs everywhere in side and out as though the cabin had not been cleaned thoroughly for a while.The outside fire pit was the pits the logs and bench had mold all over them the two chairs on the porch were unable to set in as they were not in good condition .There was no faucet outside to put out the fire so you had to walk down to lake to get water to put out fire.The hill down to the dock was terrible hard to climb no steps.The dock was in such bad shape with trip and falls that I fell had to go to the hospital to be checked out very badly bruised inside and out.Cassidy didn't even ask me how I was just that he had a no refund policy. We left after only 4 days because I was in too much pain to stay any longer.This is one place we will not recommend to anyone. Leona Schick

By far the best cabin we’ve stayed in - very clean, necessities stocked, perfect view and access to the lake. Woke to the song of the loons, watched the eagles fish and the otters swim from the porch. Oh and the fishing wasn’t bad either! Highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing vacation. A big thanks to hosts for sharing a little piece of paradise.

Sister’s Lake Vacation

What a beautiful cabin and property! Chris and I were in awe the moment we drove up to the property, went down to the dock and went inside the cabin! It looked exactly like their pictures, clean and spacious, just beautiful! There is plenty of room to spread out and we had a fire every night inside as cool the 2nd week of June! We ventured out in the canoe on the lake, going to the sandy beach island. The best fishing was just out from the cabin, my sis catching 2 - 5 lb. bass and by the island to the left of the cabin.A word of wisdom to those who want to go in the water by the dock, don’t!!! Lol! We had brought our kayaks, getting in off the dock. I tipped mine, ending up in the water and sunk in mud up to my thighs! It took a bit to get out, but I was laughing by the time I got out! When you get out by the swim raft and beyond, the water is clear and deep! We want to come back again already but need a full week next time! Thank you for sharing your piece of Northwoods heaven!

Lovely stay at Mellow Marsh

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about this property. We have spent over 25 years vacationing in northern MN and WI at resorts and this was our first rental of a private cabin. Beautifully maintained property inside and out. On a quiet marsh that takes you to the lake, so we saw an eagle, loons, ducks, geese, and heron along with all kinds of other wildlife. Clean cabin with a well equipped kitchen and dry wood for the fireplace (rare in our experience). Great to have space between our cabin and neighbors so quiet and private. Very responsive owner. Plan to return next year!
