Beaver Point Cabin

31mi from Milton · 1 site
cabin is an off-grid, 12'X20' insulated structure, with a 7'X8' loft and a 12'X6' screened covered porch/deck. That overlooks a small stream and a cattail marsh. It is in the center of our 90 acres and is very private but near to some rural houses, only our house is (barely) visible in winter and you might see some lights of one other neighbor when the leaves are off the trees.
We are 1 and a half miles from the village of Belleville and 5 miles from New Glarus. The Badger State Trail runs across the western edge of our property. It connects with the Sugar River State Trail 8 miles away. Near by New Glarus has many shops, restaurants, Baily's Run winery and the famous New Glarus Brewery (tours daily). Everything can be easily reached by bike or, in season, snowmobile.
The marsh is a haven for all sorts of birds and wildlife. Spring brings an abundance of winged migrators and returning residents. There are: sand hill cranes, red wing blackbirds, a number of ducks; buffleheads, mergansers, woodducks, blue winged teal and shovelers just to name a few. The American woodcock can be heard overhead most spring mornings and evenings. The spring peepers (small frogs) are a symphony on their own and they continue into early summer. The woods has many spring flowers and the fall colors are wonderful. In summer there are many song birds like: bluebirds, finches, orioles, humming birds, cedar wax wings, robins, cardinals and herons. Sitting on the screened in deck one can hear a kaleidoscope of bird songs and activity. And an abundance of fireflies in later May through late July and then some.
The cabin is off-grid, what that means is: there is NO RUNNING WATER in the cabin and only a chemical toilet (port-a-potty). A limited amount of water is supplied for drinking and washing. There is a sink with a drain in the cabin but no bathroom or refrigerator so bring a cooler. Very limited electricity. There is basic LED lighting and you will be able to charge your phones/devices. The power is supplied from batteries/inverter charged by solar panels on the roof. There are LED lights and a coffee maker. There is NO air conditioning but excellent ventilation and a small, cozy wood stove for heat.
If you're uncomfortable or unfamiliar with a wood stove, it may not be wise to stay here in the winter heating season,
but we can show most people how to use the stove safely.
This is still considered "camping" so be prepared to bring camping gear: your own pillows, sleeping bag, food, drinks, cups, plates, cooking utensils etc. There are carryout options a short drive away. The only thing you won't need is a tent, the cabin is very cozy, warm on the cold days and cool on the warm ones and there is a picnic table, lawn chairs and a gas grill with a side burner. There are a few spots around the cabin for tents if you have additional friends staying. There is an additional charge for additional guests (over 2) but please be advised: any loud "parties" or disturbances and you will be asked to leave. This is a place to enjoy nature and quiet time. To get away from it all. No extra charge for children 12 or under.
Insects are a part of the woods environment, if you're afraid of bugs this may not be the right fit for you. We rarely have any real issues, so we're reluctant to use toxic chemicals to kill most (normal) bugs. Normal bug repellent is about all that is necessary.
Why we have this cabin; It's a way to share this special place that, judging from the artifacts found here has been a camping area for thousands of years. We want to let others enjoy the seasons; the return of the migrating birds, the spring peepers in the marsh, the fall colors, the silence of a winter day in the woods and the warmth of a wood stove. (many people have found the stove to be their favorite feature) The cabin gives you a front row seat in the middle of, comparatively, pristine nature. Campers will have access to our fine trails for hiking, skiing, snowshoeing and biking. (we would allow a snowmobile from the State trail to the cabin).
All campers take note:
1.
Please do your best to arrive/check in before dark!
The cabin is dark; no yard lights, no streetlights, and if it isn’t a moonlit night, it IS very dark. Some of you are not used to real darkness. We provide some flashlights and headlamps (if you forgot yours) and there are LED lights in the cabin we keep charged for you.
Camping headlamps are great for cooking, using the port-a-potty and finding your way around, etc.
Bring yours or you can borrow ours, just ask.
2.
Take safety precautions with the wood stove and learn how to use it correctly.
The only source of heat in the cabin is a small, very nice wood stove.
Those without any experience with using wood for heat are advised not to stay at the cabin during the cold season. Those that are eager to learn--we can help you, but safety is very important and you must at least have some basic skills to handle wood heat: using a propane torch, using kindling, splitting wood, operating the stove airflow.
3.
Campfires: Campfire wood can be purchased for a reasonable price @$10 for a tote, or @$20 for a large pot/container. We do allow people to bring their own if they are coming from less that 50 miles away. Some exceptions do apply.
4.
It has been very enjoyable meeting the many campers. Everyone has been very well prepared and it has been a pleasure seeing them have fun. We especially have enjoyed the families with young children and people with their dog(s). All have been very well behaved and very enthusiastic.
5
Dogs are welcome, but please let us know if your dog does not get along well with other dogs, so we can let others know. We have a young golden retriever that is very friendly and does very well with other dogs, kids and all people. If your dog doesn't get along with others (dogs or people) please let us know in advance, so we can warn others and please, for safety, keep them on a leash.
Your hosts,
Dan and Anne

CAMPSITE IS LOCATED IN THE ORCHARD. Please do not enter the main farm driveway. If you are not looking at Apple trees you are in the wrong place. Pets need to be on a leash and cleaned up after. Please do not leave them out of the orchard.
My grandfather purchased the property and everything you can see 360° around you in 1953. The orchard was started in 1962 and the large trees date back to that time and still produce apples.
My dad took over in 1985 and it has been part of my life ever since. After my dads passing in 2017 the property fell to me.
At it's peak there were 85 trees that produced 500 bushels of apples per season. All hand pruned, sprayed and picked. We sold them 5 days a week at local farmers markets.
Currently, about two dozen trees are maintained, the rest feed the local wildlife. An orchard is a year round commitment.
Enjoy your stay.

This is a small working family orchard. Sites are rustic. RV and trailers can park on grass or the driveway. Tents ⛺ can set up on the grass. Sites are not marked. HipCamp requires that I list them separately for reservation purposes. The location is not busy. Maybe one or two reservations a weekend in the summer. Pick a spot you are comfortable & enjoy your stay. One picnic table on site. One fire pit. Minutes from the Rock River for paddling and fishing. No bathroom on site. No water onsite. No onsite camp host. My Uncle is your neighbor, so I will hear about any mischief you might get into.

Weekend Trip to Glamping in Southern Kettle Moraine
I really enjoyed my stay in Allison’s camper! It was so cozy and filled with lots of thoughtful touches like handmade candles and tea, fresh spring water, fluffy blankets and a fire ready to light in the outdoor pit.
I felt right at home and loved that all I had to do was pack an overnight bag and some snacks and hit the road to get out into nature.
Lots of cute cafes, consignment shops and hiking within a 10-15 minute drive from the property. I hope to return again soon! Thank you Ali!

Darryl is one of the best hosts. We actually got stuck in the mud on the way in, and he came out and helped pull our car right away.
We were originally supposed to stay at Firefly, but because it had rained a lot before our trip and my car couldn’t handle the mud, Darryl offered for us to stay at the Fallen Tower site instead. It was very spacious and really nice. Perfect for our dogs.
He also gave us fresh eggs from his farm, which we enjoyed for our breakfast on the second day. The campsite itself was great, clean, peaceful, and had everything we needed like water and toilet.
We brought our 2 dogs and 1 cat with us, and they also enjoyed their stay.
Definitely coming back next time.

This cabin is so warm and welcoming. This is my second stay; this time, it was a retreat to write my master's thesis! This was the perfect writing retreat location, with very few distractions!
I would suggest bringing your own dry wood, as the wood provided was damp and took a long time to get a good fire going. AND...so AirPods to block out the sound of the rooster at 4 am :) Darryl is a generous host, checking in and even getting my car out of the mud when it was time to leave! I can't wait to be back!

We had a great getaway with our 11 and 15 year olds! Dan was worried about the weather for us but we made the most of the rainy times. The cabin was cozy and we had fun hiking, making s’mores, playing games, and going into town. It was just the perfect amount of family time during spring break. We loved the screened in porch, especially during the rain. We look forward to coming back again!

We loved it!! My sister and I take an annual glamping trip in March for our late pawps birthday. It’s hard to find a place that allows dogs, off the grid, and still have amenities. This place is IT! The cabin was gorgeous and cozy. The area was clean and eco friendly. Dan is very kind with great energy. The random assortment of books came in handy when needing to identify what type of cranes we saw in the marsh from the enclosed balcony. Our fur babies loved it!

My girlfriend and I loved staying at Beaver Point Cabin for the weekend! The off grid experience is just what we needed. The fire wood stove was warm and easy to use and lanterns were provided for light.
We heard and saw a lot of wildlife which was awesome! We saw many different types of birds, but the stand outs were owls and 2 large sandhill cranes walking across the marsh. We heard some coyotes at night and saw a beaver one morning. The views were spectacular and I would highly recommend this location for anyone interested in a remote cabin for a few nights.
Thank you to Dan for the stay!
