About this property

Entire place

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

Green, unique, comfortable, open loft cabin

Welcome to an exquisite, eco-friendly way of vacationing and getting away from it all! From its solar water heat to the recycled lumber, this cabin packs many eco-sensitive features to bring you comfort in style. Its artistic flair can be experienced in everything in the handcrafted countertops, the exquisite tree staircase, and right down to the mosaic bathroom floor. You'll be pleasantly toasty in the winter with the radiant heat and gas fireplace. Plenty of windows and open floorplan keeps the space light-filled throughout the day.

Need to unwind? Let the jacuzzi massage the tension away. Read a book in the airy loft. Watch a DVD. Or simply take a walk to the neighboring Cameron House (on the same property).

Biking, canoeing, trout fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, are a few activities for you to enjoy on your vacation.

Eco Sensitive: This cabin was built in 2008 using sustainably harvested trees. The roof substructure and all major beams were repurposed from older buildings in the area. The building is mainly insulated with a green, soy-based spray foam insulation which keeps the interior warm and quiet.

The radiant heat and water heating system is powered through a solar / gas-boiler combination system. All makes for a quiet, even heat that foot-warming friendly. It keeps the air more comfortable and less dusty in the winter when compared to forced-air systems. This is a boon for those with indoor allergies and asthma.

The Perfect Get-away

Our stay at the cabin was absolutely wonderful. Owners were pleasant to work with, and check-in was very smooth. The cabin is definitely unique, with all the comforts of home. Plenty of room, with games and books to keep us occupied. Beds were very comfortable and the nature surrounding the cabin was very peaceful. It was the perfect get-away for a Girl's weekend.

Great cabin!

This was our second stay at this cabin, both times for a family reunion in the area. A very spacious cabin with all of the amenities and we loved spending time here after very active days with the rest of our large family. We had a couple of minor plumbing issues that were dealt with quickly by the owner. Would recommend this cabin!

Great place to relax no matter the weather. We spent a weekend here and enjoyed just relaxing by the fireplace, in the hot tub, and sitting by the river. We also ventured out to some nearby hiking trails and had breakfast both mornings in Amherst.

Cozy cabin with evry thing you need.

This place is well built with lots of space. The AC kept us cool on hot days and the gas log fireplace heated the whole place quickly on the one cold rainy day we had. Good location; easy drive to Plover, Stevens Point, and Waupaca. Lots of lakes and hiking nearby. With so much private and peaceful nature surrounding you it's easy to just let the highway sounds fade into the background.

Relaxing Stay at Riverdance Cabin!

The cabin is unique and amazing, with decor that adds to the experience. The naturalized prairie and woodland gardens around the cabin are also beautiful, giving a daily adventure just outside the front door. The cabin is spacious, with a large loft, main floor and lower level. It easily accommodated our family group of three adult couples and two children. The frontage on the Tomorrow River has one trail to the river’s edge, where one can wade in, but nearby Hartman Creek State Park offers a swimming beach and fishing opportunities. That’s just 15 minutes away. Really enjoyed our stay, especially watching the Perseus meteor shower around the fire ring.

Not so squeaky clean

5 ladies arrived for a reunion weekend. The place is incredibly unique, almost like a museum in and of itself, and in a nice secluded location. We were not informed of the elevated nitrate levels in the water, so we went out to purchase drinking water. All went well until we were awoken by mice in the middle of the night. The owner quickly responded and brought traps so they should be taken care of. Overall, the house needs a thorough cleaning, dusting, cobweb removal, and decluttering. But it is exceptionally rustic and has incredible potential.
