The Nest on Madeline Island

The Nest

On Madeline Island

With morning sun on the deck just 20 feet from the bluff, lake access for the adventurous, and room for up to 4, this is a special spot!

A few details….

The property consists of a canvas walled cabin with a full-sized comfy futon and 2 surprisingly comfy camp cots. The shed contains a small fridge, cookware and, new this year - two adult-sized comfy bikes for cruising the island. There’s a separate platform with a picnic table and an outdoor kitchen (including a 3-burner camp stove), a fire pit with a grate and running water via an outdoor spigot. The bathroom situation is unique in that #1 takes place in the great outdoors and #2 takes place on the incinerator toilet located in the shed. For the adventurous and more nimble folks, the lake and beach can be accessed through a climb down our ravine. Otherwise, there is excellent cliff jumping at Big Bay State Park and one of the best sandy beaches at the Town Park. Madeline Island is accessed by ferry from the lovely and picturesque Bayfield, WI.
