Enjoy a stay at our rustic log cabins nestled 1/2 mile back from our residence in the peaceful woods of our family's 160-acre 5th generation farm. Summertime here is filled with long days of daylight to participate in various activities, or just hang out in the hammock. The warm evenings bring out fire flies, owls hooting, and stargazing while sitting around the campfire. The fall is a very special time of year here with the maples and oaks changing colors. There are two log cabins, one of which doubles as a place to cook maple syrup in the spring, a pavilion, and an odor-free "outhouse". We will only rent to one group at a time, you'll just have to choose which cabin site(s) you want. The group limit is 9 people.
Hike the trails meandering through our woods, sit around the large campfire, take a relaxing nap in the hammock, watch sunset down one of the trails, or the many activities of hiking and mountain/fat tire biking groomed trails at nearby Levis/Trow Mound (our favorite), fishing, kayaking, horse trail rides, and The Highground Veterans Memorial Park (a must-see) is a mile up the road. The pavilion has a large log picnic table, Blackstone griddle, a charcoal grill, and refrigerator/freezer. The pavilion and Sugar Shack cabin have solar power. The Sugar Shack has a small gas stove and oven. The Cozy Cabin does not have solar power yet. All rentals include use of the pavilion and "outhouse". New in 2026 - outdoor shower with heated water.
There is no WiFi but good cell phone service. Bedding is furnished for cabin stays. Wood and charcoal are furnished. Extra lawn chairs available. We have cornhole available and other yard games for use. All you really need to bring is food, beverages, towels & favorite book or game.
We welcome your furry friends, but no more than 2 dogs. There is a $25 pet cleaning fee under extras. This $25 fee covers 2 dogs. We politely request no children under 7 in cabins, and then all children over 7 supervised at all times while in cabins.
2 night minimum; 3 night minimum on holiday weekends such as Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend, and 4th of July if it lands on a Friday or Monday.
Neillsville is located just 2 hours from St. Paul, MN; 2 1/2 hours from Madison; 2 1/2 hours from Green Bay.

National forest 67mi from Colby · 351 sites
Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, what a unique name and deservedly so as the forest itself is as diverse and attention getting as it’s namesake! The deep northwoods of Wisconsin offers a ton of hiking, biking, and camping to get stoked about; there’s 800 miles of hiking trails alone. But if you’re looking for a truly unique outdoor experience, try offroading or cross country skiing old military roads in the winter. There’s stunning Lake Superior views from St. Peter’s Dome and 70 foot Morgan Falls is sure to cool you off on a hot summer day. We dig the Quartz Trail where you can see giant quartz deposits discovered by the Native Americans who used to inhabit the area. There’s plenty of camping options to make this a wilderness weekend (or more) and with over 1.5 million acres to explore, we doubt you’ll be running out of rad things to discover!

A beautiful farm property with a park like setting with flowing creek and easy access to river for shore fishing or swimming to cool off on hot days. Quiet, peaceful atmosphere. We enjoyed seeing the beef cattle and a walk exploring the the woods, where we saw a second creek and many different species of mushrooms. We enjoyed watching the farmer baling his hay and loading it onto the Semi with the giant hook lift. The night sky's were beautiful and filled with a multitude of stars. The nights were oh so quiet as we fell asleep to the babbling creek. Jeff and Karen were most gracious hosts. They were readily available when needed and quietly inconspicuous when not needed.
We camped right next to the creek in a grassy area in a tent. There was a fire pit and firewood available. My 4 year old grandson and I had a great time. He felt so free to roam and explore in complete safety. Can’t wait to visit again for an absolutely stress free break in a safe and quiet environment.

Wow we had an excellent time! Everything we needed and more! Cabins were beautiful, solar power was great. We used the blackstone for steaks and eggs, we used the pizza oven and made fresh pizza! The hosts were responsive and brought more water when the drinking water ran dry. They even prepared us a little baked treat which we enjoyed very much for breakfasts. You can tell this property is a labor of love. Overall 15/10 experience and would love to return another time, only for longer! If you are on the fence, JUST BOOK IT!!

Michael is an absolutely wonderful host. He was more than happy to help with everything from the moment we got there. It was an excellent spot with easy access into the river. The solar lights were also perfect. There were multiple places to sit (picnic tables & benches) and the area was so clean. I have never given a Port-a-potty a 10/10 before, but I will here! Everything was so easy to set up and Michael made sure we were always comfortable. Make sure to ask him for pizza recommendations!

Loved camping on Michael’s land. We had the whole place to ourselves for the weekend, which was great. We took advantage of the kayaks and took a day trip down the river, but otherwise just relaxed next to the fire pit and took in the views of the river and birds flying about. Michael made sure we were taken care of the first day but then left us alone the rest of the time, which we enjoyed being able to fully unplug and turn off our social batteries.

We had a great weekend. The site was so beautiful, surrounded by trees and trails and nobody else on the site with us, so we felt like we were able to enjoy our time in seclusion, even though we weren't more than maybe half a mile from the hosts. The buildings were well crafted and comfortable. The only thing that we forgot to bring were towels (oops!) but other than that small mistake on our part, everything else that we needed was easily available. Would definitely recommend this site to anyone looking for a nice little getaway weekend. Would be great for a family group or just a couple.

Weekend Trip to Rustic Log Cabin Retreat
We stayed 3 nights in one of these rustic cabins and had an amazing experience. Tucked behind the hosts’ farm, the cabins offer a peaceful, private getaway surrounded by nature. The hosts built everything themselves using materials from the property, which makes the cabins feel extra special and unique.
The hosts were incredibly friendly and thoughtful, checking in before our stay and showing us how everything worked when we arrived. They also shared great local recommendations. The cabins are pet friendly too, allowing up to 2 dogs.
This place is the perfect mix of rustic camping and cozy glamping, with hiking trails, beautiful scenery, a hammock, fire pit, solar lights, and even a welcome s’mores kit and a sample bottle of maple syrup they make. Everything you need is provided while still feeling like a true escape. Relaxing, beautiful, and unforgettable — we can’t wait to come back.
