The Cabin

A private space for rest and reflection.

The Cabin gives visiting scholars, researchers, and other special guests a more secluded place to work, sleep, or regroup and recharge. It’s also the perfect space for smaller, more intimate gatherings.

Common space

The common area on the first floor weaves together kitchen, living room and dining room in a light-filled space with views of Geneva Lake. This room can also host a reception or small group meeting.

Beautiful finishes

The warm look and feel of the Cabin comes from its beautiful finishes—stunning oak floors from trees on site that we recycled as lumber and countertops of Krukowski stone from a family quarry near Mosinee, WI. Skylights invite in abundant sunshine.

Framed in Accoya wood and sited to preserve surrounding trees, the Cabin’s shape recalls a double scallop pattern. Wood flooring here came from trees removed during construction, milled locally into lumber, and repurposed as flooring in the Cabin and Council buildings.

The comforts of home

The Cabin is more of a private than public space. As such, it was designed with comfort and privacy in mind. Yet it’s still the perfect place for top-level conversation or focused dialogue in a home-like setting.

Privacy

Guests in the Cabin can enjoy one of three bedrooms, each with private bath and views of the woods and lake.

Warmth

The handsome stone mantel over the fireplace in the Cabin Great Room is made of native Wisconsin Krukowski stone, a unique quartzite sandstone of exceptional natural beauty.

Serenity

The Cabin’s outdoor terrace offers an open-air space for dining, discussions and work in warm weather and a rewarding perspective on Geneva Lake in every season.
