About this property

Cozy Cabin on Elk Lake

This cozy cabin, perched above a quiet, beautiful lake, with views of soaring pine trees and wildlife is a great place for relaxing next to the warm fireplace, or taking a dip in the cool water. If you're feeling adventurous, consider hiking nearby trails, or enjoying a game, or a laugh with family and friends around the fire pit.

The cabin sits about 80 steps (a challenge for some) above Elk Lake. Elk lake is a no wake lake that is great for fishing, kayaking (we have two), and swimming.

The space:

The cozy cabin has four bedrooms on the main floor. One queen, two double beds, one single bed and a full futon and one full bathroom on the main floor off of the fully stocked kitchen and family room. The upstairs has a queen size bed bedroom and a full bathroom with its own heat and air conditioner and a beautiful view of the lake.

Stay comfortable with central air during the warm months and a wood burning fire place in the cool. Sip your coffee or grill out on the deck off of the kitchen on the patio furniture or picnic table.

Outside, let your children, or furry friends play without worry in the fenced in yard. Start a fire in the fire pit or try out some provided yard games in the large grassy yard.

At the lake:
There are about 80 steps to reach the lake. Trust us, it is well worth the hike if you are physically able. Please know that the steps may be too much of a challenge for some. Elk lake is a beautiful no wake lake perfect for fishing, kayaking and swimming. We have a dock at the water to relax, swim from, or tie up your boat. We also provide two kayaks, a paddle board, paddle boat, and life vests. There is a boat landing directly across the lake about 1/4 mile down the road-a quick drive, or a nice walk.

We supply the following: blankets, linens, pillows, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, coffee maker and coffee, glasses, cups, water, firewood for heating the cabin, outside chairs and table, grill, fire pit and washer and dryer in the basement for your convenience.

Guest access:
The whole house is available for guests.

Other things to note:
Thank-you for picking up after your furry friend.

Haven

My friends an I enjoyed this property. Quiet neighborhood, beautiful scenery, and a nice jaunt down to the lakeside, 10-15 minutes from town. Plenty of charm and space for our group to come together but also have the ability to enjoy the quiet on our own.

Girls’ Painting Party Weekend

Five long time friends stayed at this great property for a barn quilt painting party at nearby Red Shed Workshops. It was so much more fun than staying at a hotel. Five bedrooms, fully stocked with everything you could need. The host made sure to think of everything a guest may need from coffee creamer to hand lotion. We would highly recommend groups to check out this place. It was below zero during our stay so we didn’t spend any time outside in the backyard or by the lake, but it looked like it would be a great place to hang out.

Great host and location

We stayed two nights here for a family get together in Elk Mound. This was a perfect location close to that and easy access to Eau Claire as well. We had more space than we needed for 5 adults and two kids. Michele was very nice and easy to communicate with. We will surely stay here again next year!

Amazing experience

I highly recommended this property. It is close enough to the city for the convenience of shopping and sight-seeing, but far enough out of town for some peace and quiet. It is a clean property with plenty of charm. Highly recommended rental with ease of communication to the property manager being a highlight!

Nice cabin for get away.

Overall experience was good. Only a few minor issues. Lots of dust on fans, bathroom fans and top of surfaces like shower edge. Stairs to lake are not the most sturdy. Minimal instructions for fireplace. Would still stay again. Would still stayagain.

Perfect for Family Quick Getaway!

We had booked this as an alternative to a hotel for a family wedding in Cadott. It was a GREAT move! This had to have been the cleanest home rental we have ever stayed at. Check in was using a simple, the location was an easy 40 min drive to the fest venue and the home had plenty of space for the 9 of us. The house was fully stocked, it was like staying with a family friend. We had access to a fire pit with wood and chairs, 2 kayaks, a paddleboard and a pedal boat (long flight of stairs but worth the fun!). There isn't a beach at the house, but the kids loved using the pedal boat to go directly across the lake to a public one. Tony Capony Pizza was a short drive for pick up and the kids loved that too. Would definitely stay again!

Lodging for Church Mission Trip

The place was amazing! More than I could've imagined, the pictures don't do justice to the reality of it. After our 10+ hours of volunteering at a new church build in Eau Claire, we got to come back to the house and unwind. My husband and I stayed in the upstairs bedroom, which was great because the others liked to stay awake late at night. We didn't hear a peep from the other part of the house. The host has considered everything anyone could need and made it available to the guests. That is super important for the guests and shows the level of care that the host has for the people who stay there! Thank you. We are hoping to come back annually for leisure.

Relaxing Getaway

Michelle's cabin was a great escape for our family of 5, with a wonderful setup, great location flanked by nature on all sides, and easy access to Eau Claire and surrounding towns for any day trips you might be interested in. The lake was fun to paddle around on with kayaks and the well-stocked board game collection was a hit in the evenings. Bonus: If you're missing your stair climber workout - just take the trip down to the lake and back up once or twice and you'll be set! ;-)

Family funeral/cousins reunion

The property is beautiful! I went on a walk both mornings we were there. We loved the cottage. Beds were extremely comfortable, nice showers, easy kitchen to work in, and space in the living room. So nice to not feel crowded. Our host was wonderful and easy to communicate with. When we are in town again, we plan to stay here again. Thank You so much!
