Recommend with a few caveats
For the most part this is a lovely, comfortable cabin. It has a very nice well-appointed kitchen and a great covered porch with a gas grill and view of Lake Superior on a clear day. It was very clean.
However, the bed is EXTREMELY soft, so much so that it aggravated my husband's back the first night and he had to spend the next five nights sleeping on the couch. (An additional comforter was provided but no sheets.)
The only heating/cooling unit is a mini split in the main room and even with the door open the bedroom doesn't get much air circulation from it so it was pretty stuffy.
Another minor complaint but may be important to people who are tall -- in spite of this being new construction, for some reason they installed one of those very short, small toilets where you feel like you're doing a deep squat to use it. Just kind of annoying and unexpected in a new build.
Other than that, this property is a bit off the beaten path, about ten minutes drive north of Bayfield so if it's important for you to be near the action, you might want to consider something closer. We liked the secludedness of it but would not stay again unless they upgraded to a firmer mattress.

4 stars due to flies
We had a little trouble with the lock but knew that ahead of time. The place was very clean, but when we were trying to troubleshoot the heat noticed a bunch of dead flies in the heating element.

The Most Perfect Cabin
Everything about this cabin exceeded our expectations. Everything leading up to the trip, including communication and personal accommodations needed, was fantastic. Check-in was smooth and the entire place was easy to navigate despite a blizzard rolling into town 24 hours earlier. The cabin is cozy in the most luxurious sense. Everything is new, clean, comfortable, and modern. The kitchen is ample enough to cook every meal and the living areas feel so much bigger than any sort of “tiny house.” The amenities were fantastic for either a short or long-term stay. The road that runs between the cabin and the lake is quiet and was infrequently traveled during our stay which made for peace and solitude with nothing obstructing the views. We absolutely plan to visit again during any season!
