Welcome to your ideal Northwoods getaway — two freshly updated lakefront cabins on the shores of Catfish Lake, part of the world’s largest chain of lakes in Eagle River, WI. With flat, sandy frontage, direct lake access, and stunning lake views, this spacious and comfortable two-cottage retreat is an ideal escape for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Spend sunny days swimming, paddling, grilling, and playing yard games, or simply relax and take in the peaceful setting.

During the warmer months, the two cottages offer a variety of activities for guests to enjoy. With two private docks and easy lake access, you can swim or take advantage of the kayak and paddle boat available for guest use. The spacious shared patio offers comfortable seating and beautiful lake views, making it a perfect spot for morning coffee or sunset dinners. There’s also a fire pit and a large grassy lawn for additional relaxation or play. For those who enjoy outdoor cooking, two gas grills are provided.

Inside the cabins, you’ll find two fully stocked kitchens with everything you need to cook and dine in comfort. The living areas are cozy and inviting, with lake-view windows that overlook the lake, allowing natural light to fill the spaces. There’s plenty of room for board games and indoor activities, ensuring a fun experience for everyone.

While the cabins are perfect for spring, summer, and fall, it is just as inviting during the cooler months. The nearby Nicolet National Forest offers beautiful hiking opportunities year-round, along with vibrant fall colors and peaceful winter scenery. Snowmobile and ATV trails are easily accessible, and ice fishing is a popular activity on Catfish Lake once it freezes over. After a crisp day outdoors, you can cozy up inside and enjoy the quiet, natural beauty of the Northwoods in any season.

Located just minutes from downtown Eagle River, these cottages are close to restaurants, shops, and coffee spots. You’ll also find local breweries, ice cream stands, and seasonal festivals, including farmers markets and live music. Boat rentals and supplies are available at the nearby marina, ensuring you have everything you need to make the most of your time on the water.

Things to know:
As of March 2025, the Cottages are under new ownership! The new owners have refreshed the space with updated furniture, new bedding, and thoughtful décor throughout, giving the cottage a brighter, more welcoming feel. They've also addressed past guest feedback. Experience the upgraded comfort and care in every detail!

Multi Family Vacation

Rough start to our trip. Check in process not provided even after multiple attempts to get info before arrival. This piece REALLY needs improvement. Had to call again at property and still was clear to agent as to how to access. Property was clean and in a great location. Both cabins are needing some refreshes. Small cabin is very tight with very limited counter and storage space, making it challenging for 4 adults. Kitchen utensils pretty sparse…had to always borrow from next door. Could be a much better experience with clear printed access instructions and some much needed refreshes in areas. Later communications much better via text.

Lake life at it's best on Catfish Lake

These cottages are in a perfect location on Catfish Lake. There is easy access to lake with no steep slopes and the bottom is sandy. The cottages themselves have everything you need, although a bit well-used. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for a wonderful family reunion.

Northwoods Charm

Loved our time here! Great for young and old alike. Plenty of space between the two cottages to spend time together or to find a quiet moment to yourself. This is not a rustic cottage up north but has the charm of one. Has all the amenities you need and it’s close enough to Eagle River you can get what you forgot. Though next door to 12 Pines (a great stop for a meal or drink), you’d not know it— no noise disturbances whatsoever. Pier was good for fishing (though lots of weeds), and large enough to park a pontoon. Fire pit was a blast and the stars at night were amazing.

Amazing outdoor space

Amazing outdoor space. Was clean, rustic. AC slightly sluggish on very hot days. But outdoor grilling space and access to water was amazing. Shallow water for little kids to play and yet still able to get some small fish off the doc. Great place for low key family vacation.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay

The property is spotless with more than ample furnishings including comfortable beds, couches and sofas. The kitchens are well stocked and supplied. There are many creature comforts supplied. The location of the cabin is perfect if you are seeking a quiet relaxing place.
