Wonderful retreat

This cabin was the perfect home base for our week on the island. Very clean and cozy with comfortable beds, the kitchen had everything we needed. Loved sitting on the screen porch for morning coffee, our pup loved having a big yard to explore. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us.

Great Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the Wilderness Retreat on Madeline Island in August 2024. The cabin is surrounded by woods and feels secluded, but had great internet access for those that needed to stay connected - best of both worlds! It is a small cabin: good size place for four adults (the loft area would be good for kids or very petite adults only). Definitely bring your own food/beverages to the island as, sadly, it seemed most local places have gone out of business. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation.

We enjoyed our stay at this quiet cabin in the woods. Internet was good, and we were glad to have the extra bedroom upstairs. Generally had everything we needed, and would recommend to others. My only suggestion would be that the downstairs rug needs to be vacuumed/cleaned more often. It was very dusty/sandy from prior renters. Otherwise a very good stay.
