Relax on the River

Relax on the River is a charming cabin, located in an area that is perfect for any outdoor enthusiast! Experience canoeing/kayaking, and fishing right out your front door! There are also nearby ski/hike/snowshoe trails as well as ATV/snowmobile trails and the Birkie /CAMBA trails. (Snowmobile right out of the cabin on to the trails!) Experience the small town charm of the Trego - Hayward - Spooner area (including a bar/restaurant near Hwy 53 within walking distance!) or just "stay home" and relax in your own private getaway on the beautiful Wild and Scenic Namekagon River! :-) From the Owner: Hello and Welcome! This place on the river has always represented home for me. It is my roots. I was born and raised here, and my family's history and connection to this site go back almost 100 years. My grandparents Homer and Luella Canfield bought this land in the 1930s to homestead on and build a log cabin resort. My grandfather and dad began clearing the land. In winters they would cut trees with local timber using crosscut saws and axes. With horse and sleigh they would haul them to this site to build their home. The resort cabins werebuilt and the operation of Canfield's Log Cabin Resort began in the 1940s. My parents Jack and Dorie Canfield took ownership of the resort in the 1960s. They cleared more land and developed the campground and canoeing aspects as a popular addition to the resort. In the early 1980s they sold the portion of the resort that was run as a campground and seasonal cabins, and kept the portion containing the original log home and the year-round cabins. I hope the peaceful Namekagon River, now a National Scenic Riverway, and the surrounding area of the northwoods provide you with a grounded, relaxed feeling. Please enjoy your stay with us and all that this wonderful area has to offer... Thank you for being part of my family heritage! -Mark Canfield "Namekagon" is from the Ojibwe Indian language meaning Place of the Sturgeon.
