About this property

The "Eagle Nest" cottage on beautiful Lac Vieux Desert Lake

IIF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BRINGING YOUR OWN BOAT, you need to contact us (send an inquiry through this site) prior to making an ON LINE booking so we can determine if we have a suitable boat-lift for your boat. We rent boat-lifts (to make sure your boat is safe) for $75/week or $25 for the first day and $10 for the following day(s) - whichever is less. Every guest who brings his/her boat must use a boat lift, because it is impossible to "park" the boat by the shore. Please note - the fee for a boat-lift is not included in the cost of renting the cottage.
It is not allowed to use any kind of air-conditioners in the cottage.
In summer time (June 01 to August 30, 2024) the cottage is rented for FULL weeks only: Saturday to Saturday. Off-season we rent for three nights minimum.
There is WiFi access available in our office for checking e-mail.
Our property is inspected and licensed by the Vilas County, WI, Public Health Department.
You will be very happy with our spacious, modern, super clean, housekeeping 2 bedroom cottage which can accommodate up to 6 guests (UPON PRIOR ARRANGEMENT) on 1 double bed, 2 twin beds and a futon. Quotes you receive through this site are based on a standard rate for up to 4 guests in the cottage. There is an extra fee required for the 5th and 6th person in the cottage: $75 per week per person, or $25 per night - whichever is less. The cottage is completely furnished including bed linens. Please, remember to bring your own bathroom towels and kitchen dishtowels+dishwashing liquid. A big, modern kitchen has a full size refrigerator, gas stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and all necessary pots, pans, plates and utensils. There is also a DVD player and a TV set in the cottage (there is no TV reception at our location). You can bring your PET for a vacation here: a weekly rate is $95 per pet; a daily rate is $35 for the first night and $10 for the following night(s). There will be a $100 fee charged for cleaning IF dog hairs are found on bed spreads, blankets, any bed sheets, or furniture. All guests will be required to give a credit card number upon registration.

The cottage is located on beautiful Lac Vieux Desert Lake in the heart of Wisconsin's Northwoods lake country and the Nicolet National Forest. We are just a few miles north of Eagle River, WI. We are open all year round and offer you a knotty-pine interior cottage that will suit all your lodging and accommodation needs, all surrounded by beautiful and fragrant old pine trees and majestic oaks. There is an abundance of wildlife here, on the lake and in the area. Make sure you bring a pair of binoculars with you - there are a lot of eagle nests all around the lake and you can see and hear eagles and loons every day. You will also see ducks, swans, and otters here. Deer very often visit the area.

We are located on the south shore of Lac Vieux Desert, the headwaters of the Wisconsin River.

Our beautiful lake is famous of its record musky (a World Record Musky was caught here), walleye, northern pike, perch, small mouth and large mouth bass and panfish fishing, and is one of the largest in the state with 4300 acres and 19 miles of fantastic shoreline and 4 islands.

The 610 sq. ft. cottage (located 15 yards from the lake's shore) has 250' lake frontage to be used by our guests. There are two piers on the property to be used by our guests.

No refunds for early departure. Rates based on 4 people occupancy in the cottage. Additional person (up to 6 in the cottage) $25 per night or $75 per week - whichever rate is lower.
If you are not charged for the following items when you make a reservation on line, you will be required to pay for them directly to us upon arrival / registration by check or cash:
- for the 5th and 6th person in the cottage: $25/person per night if you stay for less than a week, or $75 per person if you stay for a full week (7 nights);
- per pet: $95.00 per week or $35.00 first night and $10.00 following nights (but no more than $95.00 total);
- boat motor rental: $269.00 per week or $75.00 a day + 6 gal fuel tank (market price) ( no more than $269.00 + gas );
- boat lift: $75.00 per week or $25.00 first night and $10.00 following nights (but no more than $75.00 total)

Come stay with us any time of the year and enjoy many wonderful vacation activities in spring and summer such as swimming, fishing, boating, canoeing, hiking, berry picking, golfing, horse back riding, bicycling, ATV riding, scenic driving and wildlife watching. There is plenty to do in fall and winter, too. You can enjoy watching the northern forests burst into brilliant fall colors as well as hunting, ice fishing, snowmobiling or cross country skiing. The cottage is located on the snowmobile trail and you have access to over 600 miles of Vilas County snowmobiling trails in the Nicolet National Forest.

Musky Nutz
Everything about the cabin was awesome! The owners were fantastic, cabin was well equipped, beds were comfortable and overall cleanliness was amazing. Fishing was great, my grandson enjoyed catching keeper sized panfish right off the dock. My wife and I are already planning our return visit for next year. I cannot say enough good things about the Oak Ridge Resort. Thank you for having us!! Rick Van Rite

Amazing Family Vacation
My family of husband/wife and two children stayed a week here in late July. We had an amazing vacation. This cabin is off to the side and secluded from the other 2 on the lake front. Fishing and swimming from the pier was great, tho not at the same time! Little details that made the stay even more enjoyable then the peaceful solitude was finding an 8" cast iron skillet in the cabinet and then finding ice trays in the shapes of fish and hearts. We saw the Milky Way at night and took several day trips to nearby waterfalls and lakes with swimming beaches. There was no lack of activities. Our German Shepherd also enjoyed his stay! I'd recommend bringing a tie out if you have a larger dog. It worked fabulous. The hosts were gracious, polite and informative. They gave us a great recommendation for a rainy day activity. I would highly recommend this location.

A Great Weekend Getaway
This was the perfect property for a weekend getaway with my significant other. As soon as we arrived at the front office, Katherine and her husband greeted us as they had known us for so many years, which made us feel so welcome. They were also kind enough to give us some local recommendations for dinner and things to do. The cabin itself was very tidy and showed that they really care about their guests. The boat motor that was provided was also in great shape and was easy to use. Overall, I would recommend this rental to anyone who is looking for a picture-perfect Northwoods getaway.
