About this property

Great Location On Lake Waubesa, 10 Minutes from Downtown Madison and UW campus

I DO NOT LIST THIS CABIN ON CRIAGSLIST THERE ARE SCAMS GOING ON RIGHT NOW ON CRAIGSLIST. DO NOT BOOK THIS CABIN From anyone on Craiglsist. Located directly on a lake but in a country setting, it is only 10 minutes from downtown Madison Wisconsin, 20 minutes from the airport, and 2 hours from Chicago's O'Hare airport. Lake Waubesa is one of the four lakes in Madison, known as the best fishing lake. Barbecue and relax on the deck while being secluded from the wind! Enjoy fabulous morning sunrises over the lake.

The log cabin is located on the lake. One level ranch has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom. One bedroom has a queen bed. The 2nd bedroom has a bunk bed with a full bed and twin bed on the top. There is a large living room with lake views. Enjoy eating at the table while looking at the lake. Everything you will need to make your stay complete is provided, from linens, towels, a washer and dryer and condiments in the pantry.

We have a kitchen that is fully equipped with cooking and service ware for up to eight guests as well as new appliances. Plenty of pots and pans, dishwasher, microwave, coffeepot, and toaster to make eating in easy.

There is a window air conditioner and many ceiling fans for the summer and if you are staying in the winter we have heat throughout.

The boat launch is 2 minutes away. For our guests we have canoe. We just added a rustic wood 65 foot pier for our guests use(will be in the water from June to August). Most everyone just walks right in at the lake front to swim. The lake bottom is rocky and/or sandy.

Coming in for a UW game? Want to stay on the lake in a cabin instead of a hotel? We are a 12 minute drive to campus. Coming for IronMan Wisconsin? We are a 5 mile bike ride to the start. Stay in the comfort of a home vs a hotel.

Madison has been recognized as one of the premier places to live. The best farmers market in the US, outdoor music, free zoo, art fairs, and great restaurants are minutes away. We would love to share our city suggestions with you.

Perfect cabin retreat
Exactly what I needed. Thoroughly enjoyed the coziness of this cabin, love that it’s on the corner on a quiet street and the water is right there. Neighbors are super friendly. Nichole was a joy to communicate with whenever I needed anything. Would recommend this place for sure and look forward to staying again.

I Loved my stay!
I paddle boarded almost every day. I loved drinking coffee on the pier to the beautiful sunrises. It is a very quiet and peaceful setting with everything you need. I stayed for a month and was sad when it was time to leave.
