Amazing cabin stay!

Our family enjoyed our stay! The cabin was amazing and completely gave us the cabin life feeling. Perfect for the small town weekend getaway we were looking for. The fir pit and lighting had a wonderful ambiance. Very spacious as well!

Great family getaway

Perfect getaway, the decor was so rustic and we got to feel like we were “camping” while having all of the conveniences. Owners were easy to communicate with and we had everything we needed. Thank you!

VRBO seemed to have a lot of issues with communication. But the owners were so helpful, and we appreciate that.

About the host

Hosted by Candice Hadley & Leigh Anne Scoughton

Candice & Leigh Anne love to travel and our goal is to visit every national park over the next 10 years. When we aren't camping around the country with our dogs, we spend weekends at our cabin or our beach cottage near Sheridan Beach, Michigan City, IN

Why they chose this property

Woodhaven Cabin is a wonderful weekend getaway--we love it and enjoy sharing it with others who enjoy nature and feeling like you are in the north woods of Wisconsin yet only 65 miles from Chicago! Lots of small towns and so many parks to explore. We love drinking our coffee or sipping wine on the front porch, listening to the birds and watching the antics of hummingbirds
