FRIEDENSWALD PEACE FOREST · MERRILL, WISCONSIN
What Is Glamping Like at Friedenswald? A Cozy Wisconsin Getaway
Maybe you love the thought of a campfire, the smell of the woods, and a slow morning with coffee—but pitching a tent? Not so much.
That’s where glamping comes in! Here at Friedenswald, our two little cabins give you a cozy place to sleep while keeping all the simple pleasures of camping close by.
We’re Laura and Bob, and we love welcoming guests to our peaceful corner of the Wisconsin Northwoods. Here’s what you can expect, so you can decide whether one of our cabins is the right fit for your getaway.
Meet our two glamping cabins
Both cabins are tucked into our woodland campground near Merrill. They’re simple, charming places to settle in after a day outdoors.
Owl’s Nest
A cozy cabin for two, with handcrafted details and the woods right outside your door.
Pooh’s Hideout
A little storybook-style hideout for two, made for slowing down and enjoying the outdoors.
Where is the bathroom?
One important thing to know: Neither glamping cabin has a bathroom inside. The shared full bathroom and shower are in the lower barn, about a 50-yard walk from the cabins.
That means a short outdoor walk when you need the bathroom—even at night. It’s part of the camping experience, but we want you to know that before you book, not after you arrive!
Can I cook in the cabin?
The cabins have a small refrigerator and microwave for simple food prep, but they do not have a full kitchen or an indoor stove. For cooking, guests can use the gas grill or fire pits in the shared outdoor areas.
Think easy breakfasts, picnic lunches, and supper around the fire. If making a big meal indoors is part of your plans, our Upper Barn Retreat may be a better fit.
Is the whole property private?
Our cabins are part of a small campground, and the lower barn and outdoor gathering areas are shared with other guests. You may see someone reading in the Silo Library or enjoying an evening by the fire.
We invite you to make yourself at home, leave room for others to enjoy the spaces, and perhaps meet a new friend along the way.
What is there to do?
Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing in particular. Walk our woodland trails, pause at the covered bridge, watch the waterfall, sit by the pond, or curl up with a book from our one-of-a-kind Silo Library.
In the evenings, a fire pit and some fresh Northwoods air are often all you need.
Is Friedenswald glamping right for you?
If you enjoy nature, simple comforts, and a laid-back camping feel, we think you’ll feel right at home. If you need a bathroom inside your room, a full kitchen, or completely private outdoor spaces, please take a close look at the listings before choosing your stay.
We’d much rather help you find the right place than have you arrive expecting something different.
What should I bring?
- Comfy shoes for walking around the property
- Easy meals or food to cook on the grill
- A flashlight for an evening walk to the bathroom
- Layers for cool Northwoods mornings and evenings
- A little room in your plans to simply relax
Come slow down at Friedenswald
We’ve put a lot of love into this little place, and sharing it with guests has become one of our favorite parts of the adventure. If a cozy cabin in the woods sounds like your kind of getaway, we’d love to welcome you.
With love,
Laura & Bob
