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.

Cute cabin, but outdated. Had a musty smell. Real log. Windows & doors old & hard to open & close, bathrooms outdated.Rustic cabin, but not in a rustic setting. Neighbors commented how the house is always being rented out, locals across the street stayed up late, definitely in a busy lake neighborhood. The cabin sits on a corner lot in front of the public boat launch so there were trucks & boat trailers loading, unloading, and parked in the front yard along the road. The access to the water is across the road, and again next to the boat launch, so not as private as expected.The deal breaker was the cabin did not have air conditioning, therefore having to keep the cabin open to get air flow, the commotion outside was intrusive & just wasn’t relaxin or what we were looking for in our vacation. We ended up leaving 2 nights early. No refund offered or communication back other than “what happened,” which is fine, that’s the risk you take with a VBRO.Leaving an honest review, if you’re looking to relax & veg on a lake, look elsewhere.

Beautiful lake time in a cozy cabin

Our time together with family was just what was needed! The cabin is decorated so warm and inviting and we had a wonderful time on the lakefront. The days were warm but we had plenty of fans to keep everyone comfortable. The kayaks were a great hit and there were lots of opportunities to gather around in seating for long afternoons in the sun or around the camp fire. We misunderstood the listing and didn’t realize there was no wi fi but there were enough local channels during the few times we had the time to watch tv. We did have one evening where we experienced a bat but he never came back after the first introduction. I think it’s common in an old cabin in the woods so no harm no foul. If there was anything at all that would make the experience better would be a washer/dryer. Lake vacations almost require it. We appreciate you sharing your beautiful space with us and would definitely come back!

Nice place on the lake

Was not there for lake activities, ORV activities. House is just a short drive to the trails and everyone seems very welcoming to the ORV people. Pros, gracious owners who open their property up to guests and pets. I made sure mine were on there best behavior and I picked up all there poop. House was cool, log cabin, bear doors, unique door locks with wood sliding bolts.Cons. No WiFi, I missed in listing. I stayed across the lake last fall and they had great WiFi. Wanted a fire but both fire pits had lots of limbs. Used my Weber grill for the marshmallow.

Cute little gnome house!

We thought this house gave the vibe of a gnome/fairy house. So much character and truly gives the feeling/has to be a long standing family house with the details that make it feel homey. Such great hosts that were super quick with their communication. It’s in need of a good deep clean. Under the bed, along the wood walls and ceiling, cobwebs etc. I also think a welcome guide is always beneficial. Just a simple note explaining which keys go to where, recommendations on food and activities in the area, check out guide etc. We were so grateful for the three floor fans and the fact that they had loaded both fire pits with wood!! the kayaks are the perfect touch. such sweet neighbors!! we could definitely return.

Family of 7

Cozy cottage had everything we needed and allowed us to bring our pups! Really enjoyed the shallow, sandy bottom lake and kayaks. Neighborhood was very nice. We brought bikes and enjoyed riding around the entire lake. Beds were a bit too firm for me and hubby but kids didnt seem to mind it. Was able to mirror screen my samsung phone to their samsung tv to watch movies on a rainy evening. Very enjoyable stay.

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!
