The Space

Welcome to our cabin! We have taken to calling this place the Tree Fort since it looks like it sits among the trees from the lake. We bought this place in 2005 and have done a complete remodel over the years and we really love it. We have family in the area and are friends with a lot of people on the lake, whom we regularly tie up with on the lake and take turns hosting gatherings at each others' cabins. It is a great community. We hope you are able to make some lasting memories during your stay as well.

The cabin is located 0n Lower Long Lake near the town of New Auburn, WI just 45 minutes north of Eau Claire, WI and 2 hours and 15 minutes from the Twin Cities. The lake is a good sized lake at 1100 acres. The lake is a good fishing lake and is fully recreational. The cabin has a full kitchen, three full bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, a loft and great common spaces. The main floor has a on-suite bedrood w 3/4 bath. Two of the bedrooms upstairs have queen beds and the third room has twin bunks with a trundle bed. The loft has a queen bed too. The basement also has a queen bed and crib. There are also two couches for any overflow sleepers.

Other than the beautiful cabin and the lake access, the near-by town of Chetek offers plenty of fun activities for families, couples, and individuals. Fish, kayak, and have a fire in the fire pit and roast hot dogs and make s'mores, sit on the dock and enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sun set over the lake. Take a twenty minute drive and head into Chetek to enjoy restaurants, bars, coffee shop, boutique shopping, library, and grocery store. There will be information available at the cabin detailing local restaurants, bars, and other points of interest.

Kids can play in the front or back yard and we have lots of yard games.

Interaction with Guests

Guests can check themselves in using a Schlage code on the front door. We will provide them with the code and change it after each reservation. A guestbook with more information will be left inside. We have another property on the lake so we may be enjoying time in the area with our sons Oliver and Elliott also.

You can contact Travis or Bryan during your stay by phone or email should you need to ask questions or have concerns. Texting is the best way to get ahold of use during the work day.

The Neighborhood

The cabin is located near the end of a dead end road and there is not much traffic. It is a quiet neighborhood comprised of families and retirees. We are on the back side of the lake so our bay tends to be quieter, especially in the evenings. You will love the sound of the loons calling to one another across the bay. Keep your eye out for loon chicks!
