We can’t be the only ones dreaming about an escape. Have you thought about renting a cabin for the week with your family and wondered where to start? We are here to help with this massive list of different options across the state!
These Wisconsin cabins will have you remembering why you love Wisconsin— time to unplug and reconnect.
Where to start? Most cabin rentals in Wisconsin can be found in:
- Airbnb and VRBO – Both of these platforms are online marketplaces of private residences managed by property owners for rental and include homes, vacation rentals, cabins, and beach houses. The biggest difference between the two is that Airbnb users can rent shared spaces. Also, traditionally, VRBO has had smaller renter fees. Both have lots of Wisconsin cabin options available (and some overlap).
- Private lakefront, sometimes cabins will also have boats, kayaks, canoes and docks for use.
- Unique stays including decor and atmosphere. More homey.
- Private Resorts – Typically more features, shared amenities. Quality checks and standards. More responsive customer service. More private land. Can book in groups.
- Campgrounds
- Shared spaces… More social. Typically they are closer together. Lots of shared amenities. Typically less expensive, and don’t need to book out as far. Things to Consider: Shared laundry amenities. Kids activities and events. More things to do on the property including pool, parks, playgrounds, volleyball, basketball, and jumping pillow.
First time renting a cabin? Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Check out the host or property ratings and reviews.
- Are linens and basics included?
- How much cleaning is required? Is there an additional cleaning fee?
- Is the rental a single room, condo, or whole house?
- Is there a minimum night requirement?
- Will you be staying in or looking for things to do nearby? Check out nature areas or area attractions.
