About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The fishing is great! Trails are close by. Enjoy summer in the Northwoods!

Located in the heart of one of the largest trail systems in the US. Five miles from the town of Cable. Close to 3 Birkie trailheads: OO, Boedecker and Birkie Ridge. This cabin is located on a snowmobile/ATV route. Ski and bike tuning facilities provided in the sports room off the screened in porch. Enjoy the view of Pacwawong Springs (from the cabin or dock)- a waterfowl migration area with a pair of Trumpeter Swans here most of the year. The screened in porch is a great place to eat or read and not deal with bugs. There is a gas firepit and a large deck.

Beautiful, restful get-away

This is a lovely, spacious, clean get-away. It's located in a nice area to enjoy the Northwoods in any direction. The cabin is well equipped with all the necessities of home, including a comfortable bed.We enjoyed traveling to see the elk at Clam Lake. We saw 3 bears and numerours other wildlife on our travels. The waterfalls are nice as are the communities around.Terry and Le are great hosts and communicators.Unfortunately, the fishing wasn't as good as we had hoped, but overall, we had a wonderful time!

Pike's fishing paradise

Excellent fishing- the lake is steps from the house. The cabin is perfect for a small group and is well equipped. The nearby town and attractions are good as well. The hosts are very friendly. Highly recommended.

Beautiful property

My wife and I chose this property for a weekend getaway in spring. The cabin was tucked away, just off the main road to Hayward, secluded but easy to find. During our stay we had morning coffee on the screened in porch, reading and enjoying the views on the outdoor deck, and also spent time on the bench on the dock watching the visiting swans (we saw 22 one day!). The host was friendly and responsive, the property clean and well-maintained, we highly recommend if you are looking to relax and unwind.

Just What We Needed

Northern Lights Haven was the perfect getaway location! It’s is a gorgeous cabin on a wonderful property. It was very comfortable and relaxing. Le and Terey are very nice and thoughtful owners. The cabin had everything we needed!! Loved the bath towels!!! Even though we had to go to a nearby location to swim, we’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Comfortable and well furnished

We had a lovely weekend at this cabin. The location is great for skiing at OO. The cabin is well furnished with real dishes and cooking utensils, similar to home. We especially appreciated the dishwasher. The gas fireplace is plenty warm and a cozy atmosphere. Thank you to Le for contacting us about a coat we left behind, and helping us retrieve it. We would love to stay again!

Wonderful

The host were amazing… Kept in communication the entire time, anything I needed that was not already here was brought to us immediately. I cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond for our family! The cabin itself is wonderful, and stocked up pretty good with indoor/outdoor games, books, kitchen utensils, etc. The canoe was super fun, although we definitely did not swim in the lake here… There was a lake recommended to us about three minutes away with a park/beach and great swimming area! There is no TV, although there is Wi-Fi, and we found that to be a wonderful thing! I had 2 15-year-olds with me who only went on their phones at bedtime, there was so much to do here and in the area! 100% recommend! If we come back to the area, we will definitely be staying again!

Comfy and Charming

We loved this little cabin--it was one of the most comfortable places we've rented. The place was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The property is a very quiet area. It was raining like crazy when we were there so we didn't take a lot of deck time, but the lakeside was beautiful. I would rent here again.

My partner and I stayed there for 3 nights in the middle of April. The cabin was very cozy, and the location was in the middle of a little bit of everything. Our favorite things were the screened in porch and the convince of the canoe.

Getting Away

Phenomenal experience! The cabin far exceeded our expectations in condition, amenities, and location. We spent five nights and it was the perfect “base camp” for the gravel rides, hikes, and fishing that we did all around the Hayward/Seeley area. The live-in swans in the lake were great (get a bit loud at night sometimes) and the porch is a great place to sit with a cup of coffee in the morning or watch the stars at night. The hosts were so easy to work with and go above and beyond to provide a great guest experience. We will definitely be looking to book another trip soon. A+ all the way!
