About this property

Spruce Haven

Enjoy your vacation in this lovely, open concept cabin tucked away in the northwoods! There is a half mile lane winding through the woods that leads to it. It comfortably sleeps 6 guests in its two bedrooms, and full size mattress in the cozy, low-ceiling loft. This cabin is surrounded by a large yard, with a gazebo and firepit. The gazebo has a grill, with a table and 6 chairs. This cabin is only 30 minutes from Granite Peak, Rib Mountain, Wausau, and Cedar Rapids. It’s in a friendly, small neighborhood. Ice Age trail access points are within a couple miles. Only 7 miles away from Birnamwood, which includes a gas station, Dollar General, and Chet and Emil's which has a restuarant and bowling. Chet and Emil's have made Birnamwood famous for their broasted chicken. Only a 12 minute drive from Norrie Lake and Mayflower Lake which provides boating, fishing and swimming options. The Plover River (a trout stocked river) winds thru the woods behind the cabin in the DNR land. Also including a spring fed pond. Or enjoy the Mountain Bay biking trail which is only 7 miles from Spruce Haven. The Eau Claire Dells Park is only 6 miles away where you can hike, swim, and enjoy the outdoors. For a winter activity, visit Sylvan Hill in Wausau for some great family snow tubing! Also Granite Peak for snowboarding and skiing! If you love the quiet woods setting, this will definitely be a favorite! For fun, local places to enjoy your time at, check out my guidebook at: https://abnb.me/hjdJ5cg2gsb

Wonderful Winter Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Spruce Haven! It was a cozy cottage during a snowy Wisconsin weekend and it was the perfect getaway from the city. The home was warm and cozy with the fire place, and was well equipped with everything we needed. It was close to the Ice Age trail where we spent an afternoon hiking, and not far from Granite Peak ski resort where we spent the next day skiing. We also enjoyed visiting the establishments in town and nearby. We really enjoyed the broasted chicken at Chet & Amils. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Winter Weekend Getaway

Our family had a wonderful time at Spruce Haven. The home was clean, cozy and just what our family needed to disconnect from the devices and enjoy nature. We spent the day skiing at Granite Peak then gathered around the fire pit at night & made s’mores. The kiddos also loved the loft spaces!

Great Cabin!

We enjoyed our stay in the cozy cabin. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. We went for a nice bike ride in the area, which is pretty and very rural. It's also a short drive to Wausau. Our host was great and very responsive.

Great getaway!

Had a relaxing weekend with friends and family. It was very rainy all weekend, so we had a lot of time to enjoy the cabin, play games, and cook meals. Very clean, cozy and welcoming. Would have been fun to enjoy a campfire and grill out on a nicer weekend.

10th anniversary celebration

Needed a shut down after move and all that involves. Just what the doctor ordered. Be sure and stop at Heartbreakers for dinner. The cabin and the surrounding area was all we needed.
