About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

River Ridge Cottage

Enjoy the serenity of a country setting on the Yellow River in Spooner, Wisconsin. Affectionately referred to as "the cottage," you will be staying in a red barndominium. The cozy space offers 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, washer and dryer, a full kitchen and a rustic living room with a wood stove for warmth and ambiance. Outdoors you have a patio for dining and a fire pit for relaxing after taking in all Spooner has to offer. We have walking trails located on our 23 acres of land for your enjoyment. Located just a few minutes from the Spooner Lake boat landing and the Spooner Golf Course. ATV and snowmobile trails accessible directly from the property.
Enjoy the Yellow River by following the path--it's just a hop, skip and a jump from your private patio.
For security purposes, there is one security camera facing the driveway to the cottage.
The grill is both propane and charcoal. We will supply the propane--please shut it off when done using. If you'd like to use the charcoal side, please bring your own charcoal and lighter fluid.
Please note: There is a cute navy blue and white shed on the property--this is not the red barndominium that you will stay in.
We have ample room for parking of your toys--whether boats, trailers, UTV's--please let us know what you will be bringing and we'll instruct you where the best place to park is.
Celebrating something special? Want to surprise your significant other? Reach out to us before your arrival!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The cottage was cozy and immaculate. We appreciated the comfy beds and a well-stocked kitchen. Its location near a river and nature added to its charm, and the delicious apples from the orchard were a delightful bonus. We would definitely stay again if in the area.
