This lovely cabin is set in a beautiful yard area with a pond and wildlife. Kitchen is fully equipped with smart appliances. Bed is very comfortable. Bring water shoes for the shower. Wood stove is your heat for this cute getaway. Very quiet neighborhood pretty close to town of Bayfield.
Black bear out our window. Windows do not have curtains, so the beauty of the outdoors is available from all angles.

The cabin was super cozy and perfect for our small family of three plus a pup. It has everything you need stocked and thoughtfully curated for guest comfort. The bed is very comfortable & the appliances, kitchen, and bathroom are modern - but the cabin itself still feels rustic and cute. The pond and onsite private trails were great for exploring and watching nature. We saw lots of turtles, an owl, and little woodland creatures. Bayfield is super easy and quick to get to. Kristin is very responsive and helpful for check in and anything needed. We plan to return!

Super cute and cozy cabin. Great base camp for waterfall explorations. Kristin was great to work with and even made sure the woodstove was blazing for our arrival. I also loved all the handmade pottery decorating the space. It was too chilly to be outside much but we did see the turtles and had a greeting from a barred owl one evening.

Our standard poodle, Lucy, absolutely loved the property, the pond, the woods, the bed! Everything was immaculate, and all the little things we didn't think of as first time renters, Kristin did! She was awesome! From detailed directions for the wood furnace to the little book light on the side table, to the pile of books. It was all there to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. We hope to be back!

Everything was amazing. The host gave us great travel and food references. The cabin is only a short drive to Bayfield and the ferry to Madeline Island. The cabin was a perfect central location for us to drive to our different hikes in the area we had picked out prematurely. Cannot recommend this place enough.

We had a great stay with our dog! It was so nice to be secluded in the woods but yet close to Bayfield. The cabin itself was exactly as described and in the pictures. It has everything you need to be comfortable and we were happily surprised to find little thoughtful things like small lights by the bed if you needed to get up during the night, and a lot of outdoor options to relax and play at the cabin. We loved hearing the bull frogs in the pond and spent a lot of time in the screened in porch. We will definitely try to book this again when we are next in the Bayfield area.

Perfect weekend getaway in Apostle Islands

This cute little cabin had everything we needed and more! Oven, fridge/freezer, grill for cooking. A little screened in porch to enjoy the outdoors without the bugs along with a fire pit for evening fun and a pond right outside the door that my dogs (especially my lab) loved! The location was great, just 10 miles from Bayfield and 1 mile from the closest Lakeshore view at Little Sand Bay. The host was friendly, attentive and ensured that the property was clean and well stocked for our stay.

The Copper Squirrel is a lovely log cabin in the woods by a beautiful pond in an exquisite setting. The owner, Kerstin, was superb in her communications and her responsiveness, particularly in resolving a double booking issue that was the fault of the booking service and not her. The cabin is lovingly cared for and decorated. There were many amenities including coffee and tea, spices for cooking, many pots and pans for baking, etc, firewood already split to length for a wood stove and an outdoor fire pit. Our favorite place was the screened porch facing the pond. We loved the art work and decor- largely squirrels and collectibles. This would have been an overall 5 for us except we rated the comfort as a 4 for three reasons, which are directly related to our being seniors with some agility issues: the table for two was very high with tall stools that were difficult for us to climb onto, the microwave was on top of a large refrigerator and involved climbing up and down on a step stool (which Kerstin kindly provided for us) with hot food and liquids, and lastly the very comfortable queen bed was tight against a wall on one side and had about a foot of clearance to the wall on its other side, making it very challenging to get in and out of the bed. These likely would not have been an issue if we were a decade younger. It was one of the most peaceful stays during our road trip around the Great Lakes, and clearly she was the most attentive owner of any of our 10 lodgings.
