About this property

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, 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. Also, there is the possibility to run into small critters inside & outside (ex. Squirrels, bats, mice, insects, etc). Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns before booking, as this will help prevent misunderstandings about the rustic setting of our cabin! We want everyone to have the best experience possible with the correct expectations.

    Come be our guests!

Very clean, definitely authentic cabin! The kids loved it, it is very shallow so my younger one could wade and play in the water. Lovely sandy bottom. My son spent the entire week fishing and caught tons of Bass. They loved having the use of the kayaks. They had a blast. The only thing I would say could have been better - is it would have been nice if all the windows opened to let in the breeze. We were there during a HOT week and not all windows opened. But it was cute and if you are looking for a cabin on a nice lake, this is it!

We loved our two nights stay at this cabin. It was easy to find and easy check in instructions. It is very cute and cozy, we noticed all the little details. The host has great attention to detail and has truly curated the space. Our blind dog had no issues navigating the space indoors or out. It was a bit hot with the 90 degree days and no air conditioning but that is what the lake is for. They have maintained the lake area, clean free of debris. kayaks, beach toys, wagon and floaties available for use. We would absolutely stay here again

Cabin was an amazing get away for our family of five. It was the first trip we took since having our twins. They loved each room in the cabin and the swim area. Lots of memories were made these past couple days. Can’t wait to book again!

Perfect for our winter weekend getaway. The description was accurate and the cabin is super cute. It is nicely supplied with kitchen supplies, towels and paper products. It was a bit chilly just as the description said but we were prepared with slippers and warm clothes and they supplied plenty of blankets. It was a great stay.

This charming lakeside community features stunning scenery and a one-of-a-kind, comfortable cabin. While it doesn’t have air conditioning or Wi-Fi, the focus is on enjoying the great outdoors with family. I would happily stay here again.

Authentic Log Cabin with a Serious Wildlife Issue: Bats inside the cabin. We liked the charm of the cabin, cleanliness and overall functionally-its a nice space with a peaceful setting. However, our experience was unfortunately cut short due to bats flying inside the cabin which made it unsafe to stay. We had to end our vacation 2 1/2 days early because of this. The Host came when we called, brought a flash light and a net. They did clean up the guano in the shower and did nothing else to relieve our concerns. While the accommodations themselves were as stated in the description, the bat infestation was a serious concern that needs to be addressed. I hope the owners take swift action to resolve this issue.

Cute cabin, but outdated. Had a musty smell. Real log. Windows & doors old & hard to open & close, bathrooms outdated.Rustic cabin, but not in a rustic setting. Neighbors commented how the house is always being rented out, locals across the street stayed up late, definitely in a busy lake neighborhood. The cabin sits on a corner lot in front of the public boat launch so there were trucks & boat trailers loading, unloading, and parked in the front yard along the road. The access to the water is across the road, and again next to the boat launch, so not as private as expected.The deal breaker was the cabin did not have air conditioning, therefore having to keep the cabin open to get air flow, the commotion outside was intrusive & just wasn’t relaxin or what we were looking for in our vacation. We ended up leaving 2 nights early. No refund offered or communication back other than “what happened,” which is fine, that’s the risk you take with a VBRO.Leaving an honest review, if you’re looking to relax & veg on a lake, look elsewhere.

Great lakeside cabin

Perfect cabin on the water with everything you need. We were five friends and had plenty of space. Very shallow water but you can sit in the shallows or take out the kayaks.Thank you for the nice stay!!

Beautiful lake time in a cozy cabin

Our time together with family was just what was needed! The cabin is decorated so warm and inviting and we had a wonderful time on the lakefront. The days were warm but we had plenty of fans to keep everyone comfortable. The kayaks were a great hit and there were lots of opportunities to gather around in seating for long afternoons in the sun or around the camp fire. We misunderstood the listing and didn’t realize there was no wi fi but there were enough local channels during the few times we had the time to watch tv. We did have one evening where we experienced a bat but he never came back after the first introduction. I think it’s common in an old cabin in the woods so no harm no foul. If there was anything at all that would make the experience better would be a washer/dryer. Lake vacations almost require it. We appreciate you sharing your beautiful space with us and would definitely come back!

Nice place on the lake

Was not there for lake activities, ORV activities. House is just a short drive to the trails and everyone seems very welcoming to the ORV people. Pros, gracious owners who open their property up to guests and pets. I made sure mine were on there best behavior and I picked up all there poop. House was cool, log cabin, bear doors, unique door locks with wood sliding bolts.Cons. No WiFi, I missed in listing. I stayed across the lake last fall and they had great WiFi. Wanted a fire but both fire pits had lots of limbs. Used my Weber grill for the marshmallow.
