Authentic Log Cottage on Wolf Lake

Are you looking for a real “Up North” experience for your next vacation? If so, you’ll enjoy this rustic log cabin on Wolf Lake in Baldwin! Full of vintage charm, this property also provides modern conveniences to make your stay one you’ll remember for years to come.
Snowmobile trails are a short distance away making it possible to ride from the cabin to the trail. You can launch your boat right from the property for a fun day in the sun.

The welcoming living room has a cobblestone fireplace with a wood stove insert and the room is open to the cozy kitchen and dining area. A modern propane gas stove, microwave and refrigerator give you the conveniences of home. Coffee and microwave popcorn is waiting for you. The kitchen is equipped with plates, cups, utensils, cookware and a number of small appliances(coffee maker, toaster, crock pot, toaster oven, electric griddle, electric fry pan)

The master bedroom has a queen bed and it’s own bathroom with a shower. A small table and two chairs in this room make a nice spot to enjoy your morning coffee.

The second bedroom has 2 bunk beds. The bottom beds each sleep 2 people on full size mattresses and both have a twin size top bunk. (This room can sleep 6). A small table and chairs are also in this bedroom—anyone for a game of checkers?

Sheets, pillows, blankets, towels provided.

A second bathroom has a tub/shower.

There is a long enclosed porch which is ideal for relaxing, giving you a place to chill out when you’ve had too much sun or want to listen to the breezes on a rainy day.

The wooded lot has a great fire pit and chairs to make every night cozy. Use the gas grill to make burgers the whole family will enjoy as they share a meal around the party size wooden picnic table.

There is room to park your boat or snowmobile trailer as well as your car or truck.

Private access to gorgeous 400 acre all sports Wolf Lake is right across the street. You can sit at the kitchen table and view the lake. This lake is shallow for a distance, making it ideal for supervised play for your younger children. The public boat launching area is directly adjacent to the property’s lake access. A second fire pit is also on this access area.

Due to the rustic nature of this cabin, we would advise packing slippers and warm cozy pajamas , as it will feel very cold if you are not prepared for it during the winter months.

Come be our guests!

Hidden gem
From the minute we arrived to regretfully having to leave we had a fabulous time. The cabin is so cute with so many nooks and crannies, nick knacks and decorations were everywhere. Everything we needed for meals and the bon fire pits are amazing. Lots of room for sitting and relaxing. Perfect location close to water with easy access to beach, and trails for walking and riding so close. Cant wait to come back in summer to be able to use beach more fully. We had so troublt figuring out heater but owners were in touch immediately and helped is figure it out.

I would not return
The cabin itself is cute however the doors do not lock fully. We had to be comfortable without being able to lock the doors within the screened in porch. The location of this cabin is on a very busy road that had high traffic throughout the weekend so it was very noisy and smelled like fumes from all the 4 wheelers. The beach was nice however it is next to the boat ramp that is consistently used throughout the day and so you never get privacy on the beach. There even was a family who took over the beach by the boat ramp and allowed their kids to play all over the beach so 1/3 days we were not able to even use the beach. There was no lighter or matches to start a fire. I would not return to this cabin. It was not peaceful and private at all.

Cozy little cabin
We had a wonderful weekend at the cabin. The cabin was spotless, the lake was perfect for my 3 year old and 11 month old to splash around in, very shallow and clean. My 3 year old loved fishing from shore. He was able to catch and release a lot of small fish which made his entire weekend. The only thing I would have to recommend is providing plug-in fans since there is no AC. I read the reviews prior to booking and was worried about the heat, especially at night. We ended up bringing two fans which we used the first night, because it was 88° that day, but the rest of the nights were cool and I wish we wouldn’t have had to waste precious cargo space . Other than that, excellent stay.

Family Vacation
We had fun using the kayaks. The lake had a alot of weeds and mucky bottom so some of us didn't go out to far. There was not a dock so we couldn't fish off that and tie our floaties off. The TV didn't work so the owners bought a new one and if you have a hotspot you could use it. You should really get Wifi! And have a couple window air conditioners because it really gets hot and muggy in the cabin. Overall we had a good time and the place is clean. Also you should let people have a small camper on property for more family to come and enjoy this wonderful spot.

Nice rustic family getaway
Stayed with Grandparents, myself and spouse, and our 8 year old and our dogs The location and facilities were as described, in fact I felt it was better than I expected. It was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Some reviewers gave negative remarks for things that are clearly stated (if you read) no internet, no washer dryer, rustic cabin, no AC. I was well aware of these items and planned my trip accordingly. We spent most of time using the kayaks and sitting by the water. Access to the lake is sandy and shallow. You have to go out pretty far to get above your waist. It made a perfect spot for our 8 year old to dig holes in the beach area, our dogs to easily run into the water, adult to sit chairs in the water to relax in. We fished using the kayaks and caught a few fish. At night we had bon fires in one of the two available pits. Cooked dinners most nights in the house and found the house well-appointed with the amenities we needed to do so. Beds were lovely and everyone slept well. Tips if we stayed again would be to bring a power strip (rustic cabins tend to have limited plugs). We enjoyed the time together and would recommend to others.
