Moss Creek Cabin in the woods on Madeline Island

Welcome to The Moss Creek Cabin! This chalet style home is a beautiful, sunny base for all of your island adventures and kicking back to relax in the woods. There is a large deck and a screen porch to lounge and hear all of the wildlife noises. You will be just 2 miles outside of town - far enough to be in nature - but also easy to get around, including walking and biking everywhere. The cabin is on 5 acres of private woods, so you will have plenty of space!

Sleeping Arrangements:

The master bedroom is upstairs and has a queen bed and a full bed that is fashioned as a daybed, when not in use. This room sleeps 4.

There are two bedrooms downstairs. The larger downstair bedroom has 2 queen beds to sleep 4 comfortably. The other downstairs room sleeps 2 with a queen bed and have an office setup with a desk.

There is a daybed on the screen porch with a trundle - so weather permitting, up to 2 people can also sleep out there. That brings the sleeping area up to 12 people, but we keep it to 10 in the listing, so that you don't necessarily have to be sardines or sleep on the screen porch if the weather is exciting. If someone wants more privacy in a large group or a rustic experience we have an easy pop up tent that sleeps 4 that we would be happy to set up for you in the yard. Just let us know when you make the reservation!

Porch:

The porch looks out into the forest and a small creek. We have outdoor lights, patio furniture for a large group to sit comfortably and umbrella for lounging in the shade.

Fire Stuff:

We have a nice big fire pit in the yard and an indoor wood stove for use in the colder months. We will leave you with wood to enjoy. *Please, please do not bring any wood with you from off the island* There are tree diseases that we don't have here on the island, or are we don't have very bad yet, and we want to keep the forest safe. Sorry for this little PSA! We will supply you with wood and if you run out we have on island resources for you to gather wood from... including gathering fallen wood from the property!

Kitchen:

There is a whole kitchen setup here to bake, cook, whatever! This is our family cabin, so we have a lot of the kitchen stuff to live life. An oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, bean grinder, toaster, wine glasses, etc. We also have an herb garden and some fruiting trees, so help yourself to the lemons, kumquats, peaches, cherries, etc when they are ripe!
Screen Porch:

The screen porch has a picnic table and daybed to lounge and enjoy the breeze on a warm day. Great place for playing cards or reading a book on the daybed.

Internet:

The internet is super, duper fast! 750 Mbps. I work remotely from the house in the off season and never have any issues working from any room on video - even out of the porch & deck.

The TV:

We have a TV that has a Roku for watching all of the things.

Dogs:
Feel free to bring your dogs. There are some other cabins through the woods with dogs and a lot of wildlife around, so just keep an eye on them so that they don't run off.


Bathrooms:
We have 2 full bathrooms with tubs and showers. One is upstairs in the master bedroom and the other is in the downstairs hallway between the other bedrooms.
During your stay at this cabin, you're just a quick walk from Lake Superior. The cabin offers free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • The cabin offers a kitchen, a washing machine and 2 bathrooms

Wonderful getaway
I almost don't want to review this property because I want to be able to stay here again. It's a perfect spot to stay on Madeline Island.

Great Family Vacation!
We had a fantastic week-long stay at Moss Creek Cabin! It was our first time visiting Madeline Island and we were in search of a family-friendly destination, Moss Creek Cabin exceeded our expectations. Nestled in the woods, it was conveniently located within driving distance of local hiking trails, parks, and beaches. There is a lovely beach just about a mile's walk from the cabin. The beds and space were perfect for our family of seven. Overall, we had a wonderful time.

Island get away
The property is conveniently located and very quiet. It is well cared for and very clean. There was some confusion about the billing that the owner very graciously resolved, and our stay there was lovely. Unfortunately I and two of my guests got Covid on the Apostle Island Cruise and had to leave early but our family had a great time the rest of the week.

Lovely respite
We had two families staying at the property. It was awesome to have a dog friendly location, but the ticks were super prevalent. The location was close to the state parks and the town but trails were not easily accessed so driving was necessary. The beach about 2 miles from the property was our favorite and we even saw a small black bear crossing the road!

The perfect place
My wife and I stayed here for a week while I attended a course at MISA. In short, this was the perfect place for us and our dog. First, the house is perfectly located in close proximity to town, MISA and an idyllic beach, all while being situated remotely in the woods, removed from everyone. Secondly, the house was so clean and comfortable. The minute we walked in, we knew we were going to be able to utterly relax. Related - the house is well organized with labels on light switches and thorough directions provided regarding how to operate everything. I wish all vacation homes were so well marked and organized. Lastly, Katy was so kind and responsive. We only had to reach out to her once and she replied immediately and resolved the very minor issue. I can say without hesitation that we will return to Madeline Island and will be (hopefully) booking the cottage again.

Wonderful experience!
We had a fantastic week at moss creek cabin with three generations of family. Everything was just as represented, it was very clean, all beds were very comfortable and it was a wonderful peaceful setting. Enjoyed evenings on the deck watching the deer wander through and nights by the campfire. The host was a fantastic communicator and made sure all our needs were met. Would highly recommend this cabin, you will not be disappointed. We can’t sit to return!
