Amazing Summer Getaway!

My family and I had an awesome experience at the Cabernet Cabin! The views were incredible, especially while enjoying coffee on the deck. Being right on the lake was perfect. The hosts were very nice people! Would definitely stay again.

Amazing lake house!

The house is just as advertised. It was so cozy and clean and beautifully decorated. And the fact that it’s right on the water (and I mean RIGHT on the water!) was a terrific bonus!

Family Trip

We had a great time together as a family. The boys enjoyed fishing and my husband and I enjoyed relaxing. We wished there was a larger bed in the bedroom, but there isn't a lot of space. Good times were had by all. We also enjoyed our meal at Angler's Haven.

This was hands down one of our most memorable and enjoyable trips north. The lake was perfect swimming depth for children and the waters were calm, not a lot of wake traffic like the larger lakes in Hayward. The cabin was beautiful and clean. Everything we needed as far as kitchen utensils and appliances, which was important to us to cook our own meals during our stay. Kathleen and Steve were wonderful hosts and great conversation. They really treated our children well, bringing out extra items for them to play in the water and allowing them to play in the play cottage. Sunrises were beautiful and fishing was fantastic. We plan to return in a couple of months!

Magical!

Everything about our stay at the Cabernet Cabin was perfect! My sister and I and our elderly mother found the accommodations clean, well stocked and very comfortable. Kitchen supplies/utensils were useful, great views of the peaceful lake, gorgeous sunrises from the loft bedroom, we really couldn’t have asked for a better stay! We all slept soundly in the cozy beds and quiet surroundings. Our hosts were thoughtful and responsive - really kind people that obviously take a lot of pride in this home. We would 100% recommend and hope to stay here again in the future!

Loved the Cabernet Cabin

The Cabernet cabin was perfect for our family- our girls ran out and jumped in the water each morning, and love the bonfire at night. Kathleen and Steve were so kind and welcoming. It's was great stay, and we plan to come back!

Steps from the lake, 10 min from Hayward, a perfect getaway. We could not of asked for a better place to stay. We were greeted with a smile and any help we needed was taken care of promptly. We're definitely coming back.

Great stay just feet from the lake. Our cottage had the wonderful feel of what you’d expect staying in northern Wisconsin. Our hosts were most attentive to any needs that might arise. Eagles flew right over, loons treating us to their songs, very quiet setting. Kayaked around Durphee Lake and into the neighboring Schoolhouse Lake. Other lakes close by. Area is great if you like to walk. Convenient 10 minute ride to Hayward with a great northwoods vibe. Beautiful summer sunrises from our cottage if you get up early.

Family Getaway

We enjoyed our time together at the Cabernet Cabin. Location was perfect for fishing and checking out the area. Our 3yo loved the toys and books in the little nook under the stairs. We will definitely book again and bring our fishing boat next time! Thank you for the memories :)

Amazing Dad and girls weekend!

Myself and my three girls had an absolutely magical stay at the Cabernet Cabin. Sometimes you never know how a VRBO is going to be, and when we pulled in the driveway, we were excited - and then immediately upon entering, knew we were "home." Super cute and cozy, clean, quiet, well-constructed, and the views were amazing, as were all the water activities. For sure going here again - next weekend in fact. My kids cannot wait to go back. Thank you Kathleen and Steve!
