I had a relaxing, pleasant stay at this cabin on Black River Falls. It was clean, comfortable and secluded, but not isolated, as there is a house next door and others down the lane. Wonderful hiking at Lake Wazee and Black River Forest.

My wife and I found ourselves doing our own thing this year for Thanksgiving this year, so we decided to get away for a few days. I found this little gem, and it was perfect for us. Everything we needed, including kitchen utensils. We even cooked a small Thanksgiving meal . We will definitely be coming back in the summer to enjoy the river, and the ATV trails nearby.

My partner and I stayed here for a weekend while I was running a trail race. It was perfect for what we needed, beds seemed like memory foam and overall comfortable. Kitchen was functional in order to make some meals. There were a number of lady bugs/beetles inside but nothing that bothered us. It was easy to navigate to via GPS, Wi-Fi was fast and reliable and many channels to watch for those chill nights. We didn't spend much time there but there was a fire pit and plenty of seating outside for enjoyment by the river! If we are ever in the area, would definitely stay again.

I love taking my kids for a little vacation each summer and this year we stumbled across this cabin. It did not disappoint! We had such a great time! It was the perfect space for me and my kids. It was peaceful and relaxing and close to the other things we wanted to explore! We will definitely be back!

We loved our stay here. It was so nice to just be out in nature. The big windows gave us an amazing view of the river. So many birds chirping and bunnies! It was very relaxing.
The wifi worked great for us!
We would definitely come here again.

This was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. It is quiet, peaceful, and has great views of the river. The home is small but the space is used efficiently and it had everything we needed. It's far enough out of town to feel "away from it all" but not far to get to the Dairy Way, we went twice! Great value, I'd definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay. It was a cute place with everything we needed. We did not have time to explore the outside amenities, but the inside was fine. The only issue was the bathroom shower. The hot/cold were opposite the labels and it was hard to keep the water in the tiny shower. Otherwise, we used the kitchen and the oven, microwave and fridge were good. There was plenty of seating and it was a comfortable place. I would stay here again for sure! Thanks!

Beautiful location right on the Black river with fairly easy canoe access (steep but short hill to maneuver the canoe up and down but steps right down to the water).
The listing says one bedroom, but it is large and with two queen beds.
Owner is really responsive and helpful as well!
