Mulberry Secluded Cabin at Lost Trails

Overview / Setting

Nestled among four other cabins thoughtfully placed across 45 acres of wooded land, the Mulberry Cabin is an Amish-built log retreat surrounded by mature trees and peaceful pond views. Designed for couples or individual travelers who appreciate extra space and a quiet setting, Mulberry offers a calm, woodland atmosphere that feels removed without being isolated. Walking trails, wildlife sightings, and scenic surroundings create a relaxed environment just minutes from historic downtown Madison.

The Space

Inside, the Mulberry Cabin features a comfortable primary bedroom along with a second bedroom available for flexible sleeping arrangements if needed. The layout provides additional room to spread out, making it well suited for guests who value space, comfort, and privacy during their stay.

The living area is ideal for unwinding—whether watching a favorite movie, reading a good book, or enjoying a quiet evening indoors. The cabin includes a fully equipped kitchen with cookware, utensils, pots and pans, a Keurig coffee maker, a standard 12-cup coffee maker, a two-slice toaster, and an outdoor gas grill, allowing guests to prepare meals at their own pace.

A spacious deck with rocking chairs provides a comfortable place to enjoy morning coffee or relax in the evening while taking in the wooded surroundings and nearby pond views.

Outdoors, Property & Location

Guests are welcome to explore scenic walking trails throughout the property, fish in Cattail Pond, or unwind by the firepit just outside the cabin. The property is intentionally quiet and uncrowded, with cabins oriented to follow the natural landscape rather than arranged in a straight line.

Despite its peaceful woodland setting, Mulberry is conveniently located near a variety of destinations, attractions, and annual events:
