The Karner Blue

The A-frame just over the bridge, and the one guests ask for first. Named for the Karner blue butterfly, a Wisconsin endangered species you may well meet in the meadow.

The stay

The one over the bridge

Cross the little bridge and the Karner Blue is waiting in the trees. It's the cabin guests ask for by name, and the reason we started naming them at all, so you know exactly which one you're booking.

Inside are sleeping pads and cots; outside, a deck of its own to sit out on. Mornings are for coffee on the step and birdsong. The firepit is back across the bridge at the main hangout, which is where the evenings tend to end up.
