Wanderloft, designed by architect David Salmela, combines modern Scandinavian design with the natural beauty of Wisconsin's Northwoods. Atop one of Vilas County's highest points, this cabin provides stunning 360-degree views from various levels overlooking Manuel Lake and 9.4 acres of land. Beyond its striking design, Wanderloft is defined by its profound sense of peace and quiet—where natural beauty and thoughtful architecture create space for rest, creativity, inspiration, and renewal. The Setting Our carefully preserved natural setting offers a glimpse into Wisconsin's wild beauty. Fields of milkweed and wildflowers attract butterflies (lots of monarchs!) and birds, while the quiet lake rarely sees motorized boats. We've maintained the land's organic state while creating paths for exploration. The Design Wanderloft was designed by David Salmela as a very open-concept, modern Scandenevian-type dwelling. There are no interior doors (except the utility room) and no window coverings, but the location and land provide complete privacy.

    Our family loves to pick an area and explore. This year we chose the Northwoods of WI. In looking for a place to stay, we came across this unique listing and decided to treat ourselves. Once we got past the open concept restrooms; we enjoyed the relaxing nature, fun amenities like record player, the unchimney, comfy beds, beautiful rooftop views, turtle sightings and sauna. The hosts were wonderful with local suggestions and making sure we had everything we needed.
