This place was such a gem! A private, little luxury escape in the woods. This cabin has everything you need and is extremely clean and modern. The Wood stove made it very cozy. It's easy to get to, Kristin is a fabulous host with great communication, the place is well stocked and spacious. It was a romantic get away for us, but could be a fun girls trip or family place too! We absolutely love it and want to come back in the summer too.
A beautiful winter wonderland and close to hiking, Apostle Island and Bayfield. Great location!

I can’t say enough how great this cabin is. The location is perfectly secluded. The inside is beautiful and SO comfortable. (I’m ordering the mattress they have on the main floor…it was wonderful!) Communication was super easy. I would definitely go back.

This is such a cute cabin! Kristin has thought of EVERYTHING to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. The cabin is very well appointed with everything you need. The stairs to the loft are a little steep, our dog figured out sleeping close to the fire was more cozy than upstairs with us anyway! It wouldn't matter what time of year you visited this would make a great base for exploring a beautiful area. Thanks Kristin we hope to be back someday!

This is a gem! The owner added personal touches everywhere that are so thoughtful. It makes it very warm and inviting. The location was perfect to be close to activities but far enough away to provide peace, privacy and an opportunity to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life. The home had everything we needed. We enjoyed time in the enclosed screen porch. We hope to come back next year!

Mini-Moon

My wife and I stayed here for a few days for our mini-moon. It was the perfect location from town. Plenty of cute things to do nearby, good hiking, and a great little oasis to start and end the day! The host did a great job of checking in throughout the trip and having everything set up when we arrived. I'd do it all over again!

Summer Kick-Off at Lake Superior

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Acorn so much! The cabin has everything you need and more for a comfortable, relaxing, and fun time! Kristin welcomed us and our pups with open arms and treated us like friends she has known forever. Her willingness to offer any and all advice for the area, her prompt communication, and her genuine caring for our best interest made her a perfect host! We enjoyed many of the amazing adventures in the area, but we also spent a fair amount of time listening to music (from the mirror!), watching any and all wildlife outside the cabin, and enjoying the solitude we found at The Acorn! We cannot thank Kristin enough for her hospitality. We wish for all future guests to enjoy their stay as much as we did and to leave relaxed and refreshed!!

Great Little A-Frame

Had a great stay at the property. It’s tucked back in a nice quiet location near Bayfield. All expected amenities (and more), the furnishing gave the cabin a very premium feel. It was a very comfortable and cozy place to stay for the weekend. Kristen was a very communicative and great host as well. I would definitely recommend booking a stay.

Peace in the Woods

If I were to design a 1-2 person getaway A-frame, this one would be the design. The kitchen is ample and we’ll stocked w pans/utensils. The lofted bed is a good use of space. The ladder/stairs are sturdy and safe w rails on both sides. The bathroom is well designed with walk in shower. The setting, in the woods on a dirt/gravel road is so peaceful. The stocked wood stove and outdoor fire pit is a nice touch. Thoroughly enjoyed.
