🔴 PROPERTY SUMMARY 🔴
🔹Our 6 acre property sits on the Bad Axe River, also known as a "Class 1" trout stream. The spacious layout is ideal for families, groups, fishermen, outdoorsman, adventure seekers, or homebodies in need of a getaway
🔸Both cabins sit elevated and offset from the water about 60 yards, so your view from the cabin's are overlooking the water, bluffs and driftless region.
🔹A short walk from the cabin to the river will give you access to swim, fish, and launch the kayaks or tubes. We do not offer transportation back to the property, but there is a public pick up point 2 miles down the river for kayaker's or tubers to get out of the water safely to drive back to the property.
🔸Along the river we have about 100 yards of frontage to fish for trout, take a dip, or just sit in peace as the water flows downstream. In the large grassy area, we have an 8 seat fire pit, and other seating area to soak in the sights and sounds of nature.
🔹In the large grassy area, we have a 3 hole disc golf "course", badminton net with rackets, football, soccer ball, frisbee, corn hole, and ball toss.
🔸Headed back to the cabins, you'll find a hang out area on the side of the big cabin where you can relax in our 4 person sauna that can reach 170-185 °F. The sauna will take about 40 min to get to full temperatures.
🔹Next to the sauna is a 2nd fire pit area with string lights. This is also a flat area, ideal for corn hole.
🔸About 40 yards away on the right side of the small cabin is one of the best seating spots on the property. You can lounge in our comfy wicker swing while taking in the view
🔹Inside each cabin, the kitchen is fully stocked so you could cook independently if you choose.
🔸Families will have access to a pack n play, high chair and kids dinnerware which will all be stored in the "big cabin".
🔹The big big cabin has breakfast bar seating with 2 barstools, quartz countertops, and a dining table steps away that comfortably sits 6. This is the perfect area for groups or families to enjoy a meal or play a board game.
