Otter Cove

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Otter Cove is a retreat that provides the ideal setting for creating cherished memories with friends and family. Having over 5,600 square feet of living area on three levels, this lodge was built to accommodate several families by providing both large common areas and private sleeping quarters.

When you pull up the driveway, you will see how Otter Cove was designed to be a secluded oasis, with its large wooded lot providing your own private retreat in the woods. You’ll see the yard gently slope to the tranquil waters of Long Lake, with stands of pine, birch, and maple trees framing the gorgeous view.

A few steps into the home, and you’ll be in the spacious great room that is anchored by a two-story, wood-burning stone fireplace and flanked by a wall of windows so you can watch bald eagles soaring over Long Lake! With a farmhouse-style dining table and large breakfast bar, the great room provides all of the amenities you need for entertaining and large family gatherings. The big, open kitchen easily accommodates multiple cooks to relive fond memories while cooking a family feast.

After a full day of recreation, you’ll look forward to retreating to the comfort of one of Otter Cove’s five themed bedrooms that echo the natural beauty surrounding the home. On the main floor, Moose Meadow provides a queen bed and large windows overlooking tranquil views of the woods. Or enjoy the lake view from Deer Haven, a spacious room with a queen bed and double closets. Ascend the log staircase and walk through the French doors into to the enormous, black-bear themed primary suite, which is appointed with a king bed, seating area, balcony, walk-in shower, Jacuzzi tub, and walk-in closet. Two more cozy bedrooms are tucked away on the walk-out lower level for the ultimate in privacy and comfort: Pine Hollow with a flat-screen TV and queen-size bed, and Angler’s Paradise with a flat-screen TV and king bed. An additional bunk room on the main floor provides space for your family to spread out, allowing the kids to have their own accommodations.

Otter Cove rests on 600 feet of shoreline on the largest in-land chain of lakes in the world, the Eagle River chain of 28 lakes. In the summertime, this means you can enjoy fishing, swimming, kayaking, or just waiting to catch a glimpse of the otters that play in a their namesake cove adjacent to the property. You can spend your days relaxing on the three-season enclosed porch or on the wrap-around deck. Gather around a bonfire to roast marshmallows and enjoy the view of the Milky Way – if you are lucky, you’ll catch the Northern Lights too! For rainy days, the property also features cable, free WiFi, darts, foosball, air hockey, and a pub-style shuffleboard table. 

Located on the western edge of Nicolet National Forest, this home will allow you to spend your days exploring hiking trails, biking trails, and swimming beaches. In the winter, Otter Cove is located just off the snowmobile trail system offering hundreds of miles of groomed trails accessible from your front door. In addition to abundant cross country ski trails nearby, Ski Brule (the number one Midwest ski resort) is less than 30 miles away, providing alpine skiing from November to April.

Vacation stay
The property was beautiful. The house was not very clean. When we emailed the property management company they gave us wrong information. Probably would not stay here again.

House was spacious and comfortable. Plenty of beds and room will keep 12 easily. Could have been somewhat cleaner and no real cleaning supplies. Dealt with VACASA over a small detail and it was taken care of promptly and courteously. Great access to the lake systems w rented pontoon. Great overall experience.

A Week in Otter Cove
Our family had a wonderful time at the Otter Cove Estate. The home is spacious and well thought out for a gathering. The great room and kitchen allow the cooks room to prepare meals while other guests can relax and interact all together. The bedrooms are good size and well equipped. The grounds are beautiful and make guests feel as though the home is in a private setting. The lake access is a gentle slope from home and two piers make docking easy. The chain of lakes is great! Long Lake is a but quieter than the other bigger lakes but spacious enough to fish, cruise, or ski without interference. A sandbar (party-sand-bar) is a 6 minute pontoon ride away and gas to refill the boat around 10-12 minute boat ride. The local property manager was great to deal with and attentive to a few concerns (minor) that arose. She was quick to return a call/text and very informative. I highly recommend this property to large families looking for a roomy, higher-end home with great chain of lake access. We would love to return to the Otter Cove next year! (see below). The remaining review is relative to Vacasa and NOT Otter Cove. This is our second time renting through Vacasa. Each time we've rented, we were impressed with the house and decided to return the following year early in our visit. Each time, however, we were sent a message from Vacasa that to rent the same house during the same week the following year the price would be $4000 more than the current year. I complained to Vacasa the first time this happened to us and the complaint fell upon deaf ears. Apparently Vacasa has an algorithm to set prices and the program attempts to get current guests to re-book at a MUCH higher rate. I have not found this to be the case when one books through VRBO where you likely interact with the owner of the home directly. The home owners on VRBO are likely to re-book at a similar rate as they don't use a computer program to assess demand but would rather secure a booking for a returning guest a year in advance. For this reason alone, we are likely moving along to a different house next year. We would have re-booked on site at the end of our week should rates have not fluctuated so drastically. Vacasa must be good for owners but not so much for returning guests....
