This historic Door County log cabin rental was built by Annie’s great grandparents Gustave and Matilda Kodanko using native timber. It is situated on 80 acres of its original farmstead and was home to 4 generations of Miller descendants.
The property boasts old-growth forest trails, flowered meadows, rolling hills and an abundance of wildlife for you to explore. Extensive renovations were done to the log cabin in 2006.
