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.

Come be our guests!

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.

Fun Family Getaway

Such a cute cabin with plenty of room for myself, my husband, our 4 girls (ages 10,9,5,2) and our 2 medium sizes pups. Unfortunately we picked a chilly weekend in mid august but made the best of it and still had an awesome time. I loved the privacy by the lake. Such a cute cabin and beach area, would highly recommend. We willi definitely be back!
