The River Retreat | Barrel Sauna~Quaint~Riverfront

Secluded Riverfront Cabin on the Flambeau – Unplug, Unwind & Explore

Tucked away at the end of a breathtaking paved dead-end road, this private riverfront cabin offers an unforgettable escape into nature. With multiple acres of pristine Flambeau River frontage, you'll wake up to the sounds of flowing water and the sights of wildlife—bald eagles circling above, swans gliding downstream, and deer wandering through the trees. It’s the kind of peaceful setting that instantly slows life down.

This is not just a place to stay—it’s a place to truly unplug. Start your morning on the private dock as mist rises from the river, or slide into one of the provided kayaks to explore the winding shoreline. Adventure continues beyond the water with expansive ATV/UTV trails right nearby—perfect for riders of all experience levels.

But the crown jewel of this property is the outdoor barrel sauna with sweeping river views. Whether you’re warming up after a crisp paddle, relaxing under the stars, or simply looking for a moment of peace, the sauna offers a spa-like experience surrounded by untouched nature. It’s a guest favorite for good reason—and an unforgettable part of your stay.

Inside, you’ll enjoy the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. High-speed WiFi, streaming TV, and a fully equipped kitchen ensure you have everything you need while still feeling immersed in the beauty around you. The warm, welcoming layout makes it easy to settle in for a couples’ getaway, a quiet solo retreat, or quality time with family.

This cabin is also dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your four-legged adventure buddy along to enjoy the trails, riverbank, and wide-open space.

Though wonderfully secluded, you’re still just a short drive from local attractions, restaurants, and small-town favorites.

Escape to a place where privacy, relaxation, and adventure come together in the most peaceful way. Your riverfront getaway awaits.

Dog friendly-fees apply. Rental Agreement and security deposit are required.

A very comfortable and relaxing place. The hammock, sauna, kayaks, dock, firepit, and easy access to nearby roads for biking and jogging gave all in our party plenty of options. Great communication with the owners and a most reasonable price.
