tin Lake Aus There are plenty of things to do during your stay, such as skiing, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, fly-fish- ing, kayaking, and more. All of this takes place in the breathtaking land that surrounds this once-forgotten min- ing town. “This perfectly restored ghost town thrives on contradic- tions; hand-hewn log cabins exquisitely furnished, a life- worn saloon serving food of startling quality, lung torturing trails followed by pampering massages, sensuous hot springs beneath shimmering snow banks. Free of cell phones, this romantic old mining town still provides high speed wireless internet access in every cabin and video conferencing in our dance hall to the comforting sound of a tumbling waterfall.” – Dunton Hot Springs Resort Special rates and packages are offered seasonally for everything from big celebrations, to a 4-night fly-fishing ad- venture. Go to www.duntonhotsprings.com for more infor- mation. 3. Candlewood Cabins - Wisconsin 3. The Meadow House is one of the most popular cabin choices at Candlewood. Norbert and Susan Calnin have created Candlewood Cab- ins over the years since they purchased the 80-acre prop- erty in the early 80s. “They began Candlewood Cabins in 1995 with the goal of creating a peaceful escape for their guests. What started with a single cabin has grown into five, and they continue to fulfill the same dream of offering every guest the space to relax, enjoy the quiet surroundings, and unplug.” – Can- dlewood Cabins It is no wonder that guests are encouraged to book way in advance. Some cancelations will allow for immediate booking, but it is best to call and reserve your cabin months ahead of time. Once you land a reservation and head to Candlewood, you will see why so many visitors keep coming back year after year. 2. Enjoy activities like world-class trout fishing, hunting, nature walks, tubing and canoeing adventures, and in the winter, you can even rent snowshoes! The Glass House and the Meadow House are probably the two most popular houses at Candlewood. The Glass House is open from April to November, and offers panoramic views of the sur- rounding woods, with a rustic footbridge that will lead you to the bathroom and kitchen area. The Meadow House provides the same panoramic views with floor-to-ceiling window panes, but is set in a clearing in the woods to allow for maximum exposure. The views of the rolling hills and surrounding mountains will stop you in your tracks. To make reservations, go to www.candlewoodcabins.com. 2. Whether you’re in search of complete seclusion, or some- thing with a bit of a modern twist, these top-rated cabins are every luxury-seeking outdoorsman’s dream. Adventure Outdoors | Spring 2018 | 25
