2 Bedroom Cabin in Mason

Amenities not shown in current photos include large outdoor fire pit in yard, new clothes washer and dryer, larger and lower dining table (great for kids!), and newer art on the walls.
Relax and enjoy the north woods of Wisconsin from your private two bedroom retreat offering a full bath, screened in porch and complete kitchen. This cute, year round cabin is the perfect place for relaxing. Whether you spend time watching the river flow by, stargazing on crystal clear nights, entertaining friends around a campfire, or taking on more strenuous activities like skiing, snowshoeing, swimming, trout fishing, hiking, and berry picking, this 900 sq. ft. cabin provides a comforting retreat from hectic day-to-day life.
The cabin’s simple layout combines the 16×12 living room with the 15×12 kitchen & dining area. There are 2 carpeted bedrooms and a full bath. The 16×10, 3-season porch adds more living space from spring through fall, including delightful "overflow" sleeping quarters.
Enjoy three lushly wooded acres, your piece of forest heaven, adjacent to the 400-acre Lincoln Community Forest. The large, level backyard contains a big stone fire pit and a couple of hammock-hanging trees. Dry firewood, a charcoal grill, and charcoal are provided.
A gentle, mowed slope leads down to a shallow entry spot on the Marengo river, a DNR-designated trout stream. The rocky river bottom slopes down to a great swimming hole in gentle current just upstream, and riffles downstream. Water shoes are recommended.
Just across the road from the cabin is the main trailhead for 3.5 miles of groomed cross-country skiing and rugged hiking trails in the Lincoln Community Forest, a nonprofit-managed forest property. The LCF is open to public hunting, fishing, non-motorized trail use, and trapping. Forest access is free for all users.
Close by are many popular recreation spots and hidden gems in and around the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. It's a 15-minute drive to the very popular Morgan Falls and St. Peter's Dome trail and half an hour to Copper Falls State Park. Other nearby gems include the Porcupine Lake Wilderness, Rainbow Lakes Wilderness, Lakes Owen and Namekagon (public recreation areas with beaches), St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, and dozens of miles of ski and mountain bike trails in the Drummond, Rock Lake, North End, and Birkie trail networks.
Spend a day (or five!) hiking through wilderness on the North Country National Scenic Trail, or head half an hour's drive north to relax in the cool breeze of Chequamegon Bay and take in the shops and restaurants in Ashland, the closest big town with all the services and home to the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center. A further 35 minutes takes you to Bayfield, the Madeline Island ferry, and the gateway to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
Note that this is an older cabin that has some maintenance issues that are not fixable--a windowpane we haven't been able to get replaced, doors that stick a little, inconsistent water pressure. Most guests find it homey; if you are expecting a professionally-run resort, that is not what this is. This is our family cabin that we rent out for as cheap as we can when we're not using it.
There is little cell service and no internet at the cabin. There is no landline available. There was public WiFi at Four Corners Saloon, about a 15 minute drive, but the Saloon is closing and this may no longer be available.

Summary: Easy Check-in. Easy to find using the satellite GPS from car. Was hoping to kayak the river, but was not possible from the site. We loved the Lincoln Forest Trail. We also loved not having phone service or wifi.The bummers: Coffee pot was full of mold (photo attached, owner should buy new coffee pot).Only windows that would open had storm windows in them so we couldn't enjoy the cooler temps in the evenings and roasted in the bedroomsThere was no lighter fluid for the charcoalNo KleenexNot enough toilet paper The washer wouldn't run through a whole load without an errorThe water in the washer ruined my son's brand new sweatshirt he had just purchased on Madeline Island - rust stains (photo attached)- we have these at home sometimes too so I get it, it would have been nice to be forewarned.The bedding and towels were all laundered in heavily perfumed detergents/softeners which 2 of us are very allergic to. So we were miserable and couldn't get the washer to work properly so we couldn't rewash items. It would have been nice if the lawn had been maintained, the grass was quite long and in a heavily wooded area we had to worry more about ticks in the directly adjacent property instead of just when we were hiking.
