About
Cabin by the Bay is one of Wisconsin's accessible cabins for people with disabilities, at Potawatomi State Park. It's a one-bedroom cabin with a kitchen (stovetop, microwave, and refrigerator), central heat and air conditioning, and a fully accessible bathroom with a roll-in shower. It's furnished with two adjustable hospital beds, a patient lift with a sling, and a shower wheelchair, and has a screened porch, grill, and outdoor fire ring. A committee of people with disabilities helped design this cabin. It's in the south campground - no separate cabin-only coordinate is published, so the map point shown is this park's own campground location. This park's own page doesn't state a pet policy for this specific cabin. Wisconsin's other accessible cabins that do publish one (Blue Mound, Copper Falls) prohibit pets except certified service animals - call ahead to confirm before bringing a pet.
Fees
This cabin is reserved specifically for people with disabilities and their guests, confirmed for up to four consecutive nights and no more than four nights total per year. Wisconsin's nightly cabin rates aren't published in a static table - the rate is shown when you select this cabin during booking - and a $7.95 reservation fee applies on top of it. Reservations for the upcoming year open January 10; book at https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/camping/adacabins or by calling 1-888-947-2757. A vehicle admission sticker is required at the gate, separate from this cabin's own rate: $28/year for Wisconsin residents ($13/year age 65+) or $50/year for non-residents, or $13/day resident / $16/day non-resident.
This park's own page doesn't publish specific open/close dates for this cabin - confirm current availability before planning a trip.
