O’Connell Cabin Co.

Not all sauna days look like spa days 😅 Here are some behind the scenes photos of what upgrading a sauna stove actually looks like — rock everywhere, a hi-vis vest, and a lot of sweat. New stove is in and we couldn't be more excited to fire it up!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "We LOVED our stay at Cattail Cabin! So many highlights: high ceilings and spacious rooms, very clean and well stocked, great views of the lake, perfectly decorated, and I've never seen a kitchen so organized. Ask our kids and they'll say the best part was the basement games. Our hosts were very intentional in all of their choices. I can't say enough great things about our stay. We will definitely be booking again!" — Shannon, Stayed in March 🍀 Thank you Shannon — this is exactly why we do what we do. We can't wait to welcome you back! 🔗oconnellcabinco.com #GuestLove #5StarReview #CattailCabin #HaywardWisconsin #NorthwoodsLife #CabinLife #UpNorth #OConnellCabinCo #VacationRental

Now THAT'S a catch. 🎣 Guest Cheryl K. had quite the weekend at Cattail Chalet — ice fishing, sauna, s'mores around the bonfire, and THIS beauty pulled right through the ice. A 32" Northern. 🐟 And for anyone wondering — we were up at the properties this week and there's still 20 inches of ice on Lower Holly Lake. Ice fishing season isn't done yet. 🧊 "We had a great family weekend... ice fishing, fired up the sauna and had a bonfire outside with s'mores. The cabin was extremely clean and had everything we needed!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Cheryl K., Cattail Chalet, February 2026 A few dates still open this winter if you want to get out there. 👉 oconnellcabinco.com #OConnellCabinCo #IceFishing #NorthernPike #StoneLakeWisconsin #NorthwoodsWisconsin #WisconsinFishing #CabinLife #IceFishingWisconsin #GuestLove

Big shoutout to Lyn L and family for this glowing 5-star review from their January stay at Cattail Chalet! ❤️❄️ “Perfect for a family weekend get together... great time was had by all! Wonderful to find an affordable pet-friendly location. Our group did some ice fishing, shopping in downtown Spooner, and we enjoyed the sauna and playing games... Brad was a great host—informative, friendly and responsive. We all loved that the kitchen was so well stocked... nice to have what we needed!” Lyn nailed it — nothing beats seeing families make memories with ice fishing by day and sauna/game nights by evening.
