About this property
Lake Cabin · Hot Tub · Fire Pit · Free Firewood
Free firewood, a quiet lake, and a hot tub that doesn't care if it's 40 degrees outside — fall and winter are when The Willow really shines. Every stay in September and October comes with complimentary firewood for the firepit, so the only thing you need to pack is the marshmallows.
The Willow by Acorn Shores is where s'mores never run out, the coffee's always strong, and the hot tub has a view of the lake.
At The Willow, we believe in easy mornings, unplugged afternoons, and cozy nights by the fire. Whether you're out on the trails, floating on the lake, or curled up in the bunk room for movie night, this is your place to reconnect and relax.
✨ Why Guests Love It

🍂 Why Fall & Winter at The Willow
This isn't a summer-only cabin. Once the leaves turn, The Willow becomes basecamp for trail riders, snowmobilers, and anyone who just wants a firepit and a hot tub within twenty feet of each other. All town roads are ATV/UTV routes unless marked, and the trailhead is right at the end of the road — no trailering across town required. Our new winter 2025–2026 trailer parking pad sits at the top of the driveway, so you're not maneuvering a rig down a steep grade in the snow. Pull in, unload, and you're on the trail in minutes. Come evening, soak in the hot tub with a lake view while your firewood (on us, all September and October) burns down to coals for the s'mores.
