About this cottage rental

Welcome to “Cozy Cabin," your private cottage in the woods of Madeline Island in Sunset Bay of Lake Superior. Here you can check in, unplug, and go with the flow. Retreat with a book – or write one. Wander the island in search of myriad wildlife, or simply yourself.

***Please see important information at the end of this description before you book.***

A mile from La Pointe means shops, restaurants, and nightcaps are within walking distance. Bring a kayak to paddle the gitchi-gami waters at your own speed. The screened porch provides its own cozy getaway, and the shared dock offers a fabulous view of Bayfield and Basswood Island. If you're lucky enough to be here in the summer, you'll have the best shoreline seats to watch the spectacular sailboat races. When the sun sets, you can look forward to a night on the town, or the best night's sleep of your life – it's your choice. ***Please note: dock is shared with guests at the main cabin and it is not private to Cozy Cabin guests. The dock is accessed by walking past the main cabin and down to the water. When guests overlap on the dock (which honestly isn't often), we have found friends and memories are made or we make ourselves scarce!***

Cozy Cabin welcomes you with sunshine, a fully stocked kitchen, a wood-burning stove, a pullout sofa for additional guests, and more!

A note from Emma (your host): we would love to have you as our guests at Cozy Cabin. We take SO MUCH pride in being great hosts (seriously- look at our reviews) and we truly want you to love your vacation with us. Please do not hesitate to ask for something specific that will make your trip to Madeline Island special. You can text/call/email me anytime and I will always be available to answer any questions and help with any needs along the way. We want to make this a 5 star experience and will do anything we can to make that happen.

We have a few things we ask from our guests. It has been our experience that this list is no big deal for most guests, but not all guests want this level of participation. If it doesn’t work for you- we may not be the greatest fit for your vacation and that is okay! Please do not book with us if you have any issues with the following...

A Cozy Cabin Guest will be a-okay with:
*Slow WiFi: this probably isn’t your place if you rely on a strong connection to work or stream. After all, it’s an island and internet is on “island time”. Cozy Cabin is truly a place to unplug. With that said, we do have WiFi and sometimes it works great. We just can’t promise it always does.
*WE DO NOT PROVIDE ANY DECORATIVE PILLOWS, LINENS, BLANKETS, PILLOWS, ETC. Many of our wonderful guests bring their furry friends and we love that! We do not, however, love what's left on the linens and it is very difficult to keep things clean (to our standards and yours) when we are running this operation from the Twin Cities. Therefore, you will be bringing your own sheets (queen for both beds), pillows, blankets, bath towels, beach towels, hand towels, shampoo, soap, pantry items (spices, sugar for coffee, etc…), ziplocs, & napkins. We do not have laundry in Cozy Cabin. Sincerely- if you are not okay with this, we 100% understand and we just ask that you don't book with us.
*We are on a septic holding tank, so we ask that you use your best judgment to conserve water for toilets, showers, dishes, etc…
*We do not have someone collect garbage until the end of your stay and we have found that many guests want to be able to remove garbage and recycling as you go. Because there are little bear creatures on the island, it’s not an option to leave anything outside of Cozy Cabin. We suggest removing your garbage and recycling by bringing it to the “Recycling Center”, located between Cozy Cabin and the town of La Pointe. You will see hours posted outside of the center and the very nice men who run it are happy to help direct you once you’re there. Also, kids love it!
*We run this from the Twin Cities and you are our eyes and ears for anything that needs attention. We strive to make things perfect for you, but we also ask that you are flexible guests who can let us know when something needs attention and we will occasionally ask for your participation in remedying things.
*While there is property access to the lake, there is no view of the lake from the cabin. The Cozy Cabin is nestled in the woods.
* We love our furry friends and understand how special it can be to vacation with them. We just ask to approve the pets in advance, but we do not require an extra deposit.
*Our L-shaped dock is no longer L-shaped as seen in the photos. Along with the majority of dock owners on the island, half of our dock was destroyed in the fall of 2017. We have been advised not to rebuild it until we can figure out what the mighty Lake Superior is doing over the next few years. You will still be able to experience amazing sunsets and beach fun!

***Please make note of the ferry schedule- it is limited this year and there is no other way over. Pay close attention to the date range, color coding, and "to Island" or "to Bayfield". It is very easy to miss the last ferry if you are not paying close attention to the schedule for your visit.***

We want to make sure your stay is excellent and we are open to any and all feedback & requests. We would love to have you as our guests at Cozy Cabin!

Charming little cottage in the woods. Short walk to the dock and north shore sunsets. Oh so quiet and lots of wildlife. We loved the firewood for the fire pit and the screened in porch. Only downside was having to bring linens but they were very clear about that. We will be back.

Just about everything went great during our July, 2024 stay at Cozy Cabin on Madeline Island. Easy check-in/out, and everything was as Emma explained in the description. Wi-fi was pretty lousy, as she said it sometimes is; we found it best just to turn the wi-fi off on our phones, and let the cellular service (which was fine) do the work. We did have a brush with a small bear on our 3rd day there. It never came really close to us or the cabin, but it did stroll by and seemed to spend a lot of time at the other cabin on the property. We had been planning on grilling some steaks for dinner that night, but decided against it, and ate in town. Be warned that, even in July, the town pretty much rolls up by 6 or 7pm. Luckily there was one restaurant still open until 9 for us (The Pub). The one hot spot open later is the infamous Tom's Burned Down Cafe (for drinks, not food). Some people hate it, but we went with the flow and loved it. All in all, a nice trip. Thanks to Cozy Cabin owner Emma!

What can I say. I honestly didn't want to leave. The cabin was perfect and the area and people there were beyond anything I expected. I definitely want to go back. Thank you so much Emma!

Loved the location--you really can have it all at the cozy cabin: lake, woods, trails, proximity to town. Recommend that you bring your own drinking water, as the well water has a distinct flavor. Overall, this was a great place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the island.

We enjoyed our 4-night stay in Cozy Cabin in the Woods! It was the perfect setting for us to enjoy the quiet of nature and birds! The cabin was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Perfect 1-BR, 1-BA with kitchen, dining area and screened in back porch! We also had access to Lake Superior via a dock on the property! Emma F, our host, was not only very thorough with instructions and directions; but she was also very responsive to any questions or concerns. She made us feel very welcomed. We would definitely stay here again in future visits to Madeline Island. A perfect home away from home!!!

This was our second stay at the Cozy Cabin for our family, and we loved it all over again. Other than a bear that strolled casually past the bedroom window from 10 feet away, we had complete privacy in the woods. Love having the little sandy/rocky beach and dock to watch the sunset and having town just a short bike ride away for an ice cream cone. Super responsive communication, and very clean. Can't wait for next year!

Very quiet, peaceful cabin nestled in the woods. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Emma was quick to respond to question about how to access Lake Superior from our cabin. Unfortunately, access is directly past another cabin (fortunately, it was not being used while we were there) which was uncomfortable passing so close to another cabin. Lake is beautiful for swimming. Cabin itself seemed overpriced compared to other VRBO's in the WI but you have to consider you are on an island and rentals are limited. Overall, very nice place though.
