the cabin is a super romantic setting for any movie
Because of it’s location, set in the Apostle Islands area of Bayfield and close to the sea caves and ice caves, Hauser’s Bayfield Cabin is open to being used by movie producers / movie productions in the area. Due to its very romantic nature - it would be great for any type of romance or romantic comedy movie. Much like the cabin in the movie “The Holiday” (but better in some respects) please consider it for your next movie production in Wisconsin. Note that Wisconsin is implementing a tax credit for movies producers in Wisconsin starting next year.
New incentive tax credits for making movies in wisconsin
The Wisconsin State Legislature included $5 million in the state budget to establish a film incentive program and a state film office.
Wisconsin's film incentive program was cut in 2013, but it was brought back in the 2025-27 budget.
Producers can be reimbursed for 30% of the money they spend within Wisconsin on a project.
The new program allocates $5 million to tax credits and the establishment of a state film office. The credits can reimburse producers for 30% of film-related costs within Wisconsin– up to $250,000 per project.
The credits will be available in Spring 2026.
The state film office will be added to the Department of Tourism and be a central hub for attracting production companies.
