Prior Guest Review:
“Cozy Bear Cabin is a great place to stay! It is updated, very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend for a vacation destination. My son loved waking up in the morning & going down to the dock to fish. We all enjoyed the peddle boat and rowboat. We will be returning.” – Jean

Paddler's Paradise with free use of 2 kayaks, 2 SUP's, 16' aluminum row boat, 5-person pedal boat! We also provide cornhole / bags set for yard games around the campfire!

This 3 bedroom (7 beds) / 2 bathrooms / 1,500 sq foot lakefront cabin sits on a private 1-acre of forestland offering year-round activities for the outdoor enthusiast! The secluded drive through the rolling Blue Hills of the Barron County Forest offers a true “up-north” feeling as you arrive at the cabin.

Cozy Bear Cabin is nestled on a private bay on Hemlock Lake (connected to Red Cedar & Balsam Lakes) & offers relaxing lake views in a secluded setting!

Enjoy beautiful Hemlock Lake views from the backyard, evenings relaxing in the large screened-in porch, grilling on the deck, and making s’mores around the campfire!

“I had a truly wonderful stay at this cabin. Clean, great communication by the hosts part, and a wonderful yard and patio area were we spent most of our time - closed in patio is a game changer :)” – Gina

* Summer Months! *

Summer months offer some of the best boating, watersports, fishing, hiking, biking, and golfing in the Northwoods! All three of the lakes have crystal-clear waters and provide great fishing for walleye, northern pike, bass, and panfish! Boat to various bars and restaurants on Red Cedar Lake. Plenty of open water to navigate in your boat with about 2,500 acres and 30 miles of shoreline to explore.

Enjoy kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, pedal-boating, or taking the rowboat for a lap around the lake! Plus the 18-hole Tagalong Golf Course (located along the Red Cedar Lake shoreline) is only 7 miles from the cabin!

Also, a great location for hiking with the Ice Age Hiking Trailhead being located only 3 miles from the cabin. This trail is open year round and winter hiking is magical! Take your mountain bike a few miles north to the endless CAMBA off-road bike trails around the Hayward area.

Prior guest review:
“Dan and Emily were excellent Airbnb hosts and their Cozy Bear Cabin was perfect for our first family vacation. The place came with a bunch of amenities and there was plenty of stuff for us to do with our five-month-old to keep her entertained. I highly recommend staying at one of Dan and Emily’s Airbnbs!!!” – Mitchell
- We provide a pack-n-play, and high chair, and some kids toys for the littles! :)

* Winter months! *
The winter months provide incredible ice fishing (Hemlock Lake is a hidden gem). Drive out on the lake with your 4x4, and pop up your ice shack, and enjoy fantastic hard water fishing in the WI Northwoods. Multiple ice roads are plowed in the winter months for easy access to the best fishing locations.

Plus, hop on your snowmobile and cruise down the back yard across the lake and you have access to over 250 miles of the best snowmobile trails in the Midwest!

Snow shoeing and cross-country skiing on the lake, and Christie Mountain Ski Resort is only 15 miles from our cabin where you can enjoy downhill skiing, snowboarding, and tubing!! Sip a mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkles around the outdoor firepit after a long day hitting the slopes!

We look forward to sharing our cabin with you! :)
