Some minor details have us taking away one star, but those details would not deter us from returning or recommending it. Absolutely wonderful location. Only a 15 min scenic road ride to the ATV trails. The property is a gem and the owner was very friendly and responsive with the few questions we had. Really enjoyed our time there!

Check-in was very easy; owner allowed us to check-in early which was very appreciated! The kitchen had everything we looked for. Our only issue was the property info said there was a gas grill available but there was not. So, we brought our steak home with us and went out to dinner which we hadn't planned on.

Peaceful retreat in the woods

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.
