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, woodfireplace, 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.

    The cabin was perfect as it was exactly what was advertised. The host was very prompt with communication.. however I found her a little snippy, and I found some of the communication in her white book a little sarcastic and unfriendly as well. Overall a great property.. just not the friendliest host

    Loved this cabin- from coffee on the porch watching deer on the frozen lake to a crackling cozy fire at night. Cassidy’s place feels more like a family home than a rental and is thoughtfully decorated. Convenient location right across the street from the Birkie. Awesome getaway for my husband and I.

    This cabin is adorable and located in a private and peaceful spot on the lake. It is warm and cozy, especially if you are willing to do the work to keep the fire going. The fireplace was our favorite part since we stayed during the winter for snowmobiling. The view of the lake is wonderful. We would love to come back.

    Everything was wonderful except having a space for 4 people there should be 4 bath towels but there were only 2. We ended up running to Walmart to get more. The space was great and our adult children went XC skiing and we shoveled a space on the lake and went skating. Very nice family Christmas!!

    Perfect location and amenities with lakefront privacy. This stay had all of the things needed for a relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable stay. Landings for Lake Chippewa, downtown and great dining options were all within a 20 minute drive. Ample firewood was provided, quick communication from the owner and all in all a perfect getaway. Highly recommend this property!

    The cabin was very cozy and had everything we needed. The host left a lot of helpful info about shopping, dining, hiking, etc. The weather was not the best and we could not enjoy the lake, but the scenery is beautiful. The only issue we had was though it is pet friendly there are a lot of rules that were a little restrictive when it comes to pets.

    We had a great stay at Mellow Marsh the week before Labor Day! The cabin was very clean and is well-equipped. The cabin is very comfortable and the view is fantastic. We got out and canoed and fished in the lake. We saw a bald eagle flying over the lake while we canoed and also saw him perched in a tree! The cabin is easy to get to, but well-secluded and private. At the same time, it is only fifteen minutes from Hayward that had everything we needed. Cassidy is a great host!

    Gorgeous site with beautiful views from the cabin’s large front windows. Very comfortable cabin with all the amenities. The marshy area in front of the cabin by the dock had lots of wildlife including otters, mergansers, and loons. Although a bit more difficult, we had to load our kayak from the dock because of the deep mud near the shore made it impossible to step in the water. The kayaking was great on this beautiful quiet lake. Although advertised as a very private cabin on 3.5 acres, there is a rather large cabin quite close to the property which at times during our stay detracted from our privacy and the serenity.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Very much enjoyed this house on upper twin lakes. Beautiful scenery, lake views and peace and quiet. The house was accurately described and all the pictures depicted what we saw and experienced. Communication was responsive and had no issues or unanswered questions regarding arrival. The beautiful weather, 80 in late September showcased the property,well but made for a tough Musky bite.
