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.

    This was our second year at this property, and we are already looking at dates for 2027. It is home away from home. Our host does a great job thinking of what might be needed by her guests, that there is little need for extra trips into town.Our group enjoys all the space, from individual bedrooms for a place to wind down at the end of the day to the open living/dining area with the fireplace. It is comfy and cozy, great for long chats, playing games, or introducing each other to our favorite shows with watch parties every day.Set in a quiet, scenic area, the view over the water is spectacular, great for sunrises and sunsets. The loudest thing we heard we the local turkeys passing through or the water fowl flying overhead. This place is everything we needed and more. We hope to make this an annual trip for years to come.

    From the moment we inquired about this property the communication has been prompt, clear and very accommodating. The property listing is accurate and worked well for our family of 9 adults. Kitchen is well equipped although a small space. While the cabin is older it is very quaint and extremely clean! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay celebrating Thanksgiving with family. The only downfall to our stay was we didn't stay for longer!

    We rented this property because we had a family wedding in the area. We have 2 dogs and had to bring them with us. I was lucky to happen upon this beautiful house. I cant rave about it enough. There is a fenced in are for the dogs. There were plenty of bedrooms for everyone. Our son and daughter in law have 2 girls ( 2 and 3). They took the whole upstairs. They put the pack and plays in the HUGE closets. The girls loved it! The dogs (2 golden retrievers)were relaxed and comfy stretched out on the family room floor. The bedrooms were big. Michelle provides so many things. I wasnt expecting it all. If we are ever in the area again, we will be certain to stay here if its available! Thank you, Michelle!!

    We couldn't have been happier with this cozy cabin! Check in was so easy and the cabin is so comfy and cozy. We felt so at home and had anything we needed.Great location to access the Chippewa River state bike trails and Eau Claire has such beautiful parks along that trail....and after enjoying that, it was great to go home to the cabin because that's how it felt. ...and we caught bluegills and perch off the pier in the evening...good size bluegills! We would recommend this stay!.

    Beautiful property for our large group of youth to spend the weekend for a music festival. There was ample space for sleeping, hanging out, swimming, and having a fire. Clean and organized!

    The property is beautiful. The home had plenty of space for all of us, including all of the bedrooms we needed, plus a dining table that comfortable fits 10. The yard is spacious and useful; we played soccer, football and frisbee and had a great time, and the fenced-in area was a blessing for our pups. Everything you could expect and beyond was provided; no unexpected shopping trips for us. Our only challenge was the steps down to the water; there are 75 of them (I counted), and they are steep. So, not so good for young children to go alone, or anyone with any difficulty with stairs. But once you make it, the dock area is very pretty, secluded, and you have the kayaks (and paddleboat) available. We fished from the dock, and caught and cleaned some panfish. All in all, a great setting for a quiet vacation, which was just what we were looking for.

    Michelle was great - very responsive to questions. Property is well stocked with everything you need. The layout of the house is unique - the upstairs bedroom/suite was the nicest. We were there in July and the mosquitos were insane walking from the cabin down to the dock. We could not see the water from the cabin - the trees are too dense. Overall it was a nice stay.

    We had a blast at this wonderful place. Our afternoons were spent playing outdoor games (they had a great assorment supplied) in the large, well kept yard. Evenings were spent talking around the spacious outdoor firepit. The walk up/down the steps to the lake was strenuous, but became an adventure as time went on. We were a little nervous about bugs, but we were pleasantly surprised with very few all weekend. The kitchen was small but adequate, the patio was lovely for our morning coffee.

    We stayed at the cabin to celebrate our son’s graduation from UW-Eau Claire. Because we didn’t know how many family members could make the trip we wanted a place that could sleep many people. The cabin was the perfect fit! The kitchen was equipped with the items we needed. The neighborhood was quiet. We would stay again.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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! ;-)
