About this property
Luxury on the 3L chain sleeps 8+ at the Northernaire Resort's Premier Unit!
Luxury on the lake! The Pinecone Cottage is a unique Northwoods getaway, located on a beautiful chain of twenty eight lakes in and around Three Lakes, WI. A stand-alone house on the shores of Deer Lake at the esteemed Northernaire Resort, the Pinecone includes it's own private dock. The Pinecone Cottage offers all the comforts of home, plus more. This is your place to relax and play, to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The home is spacious enough to visit with family and friends, or cozy enough for an intimate retreat. The Pinecone Cottage is the only property in the area that also provides your group full access to Resort amenities within a short walk: pools (indoor and outdoor), hot tubs (indoor and outdoor) are located just steps from the cabin at the main lodge (Northernaire Resort), plus a pool table, ping-pong, tennis court, basketball court, and volleyball court. The Pinecone Cottage has three bedrooms and three baths, plus one sofa and a large couch in the loft to accommodate up to nine people. Tiled slate floors line the foyer, kitchen and porch, with plush carpeting adding comfort to the living areas and bedrooms. A large, wrap-around deck faces the lake, and expansive windows bring the outdoors in to the dramatic two-story great room. Each of the bedrooms have access to a full bath, while the master bedroom has its own luxury bath with separate whirlpool tub, king-size bed and large walk-in closet.
Each season in the Three Lakes area of Northern Wisconsin has it's individual charms. Spring and fall are peaceful, reflective times that can be punctuated with amazing beauty. Summer and winter are picturesque times of fun and excitement. There are seemingly endless lakes to explore, while enjoying fishing, skiing, tubing, sailing, swimming or simply boating and relaxing. Close by are excellent trails for hiking, biking, Nordic skiing, and of course, winter’s favorite sport, snowmobiling. Nearby Eagle River hails itself as the snowmobiling capital of the world, and groomed trails can be accessed right from the cabin (without having to trailer). These trails can take you hundreds of miles through pristine forests to dozens of restaurants and pubs. Boat and snowmobile rentals are available at Watercraft Sales and Anchor Marine (near cabin).
The designated swimming area does not have a sandy beach, however, bring your beach chairs and enjoy! The lake is clean and warm with a shallow, sandy bottom. Please note: June 1st-Labor Day are peak season so we require a 7 night minimum stay (Saturday to Saturday reservation).

Perfect setup for 4 adults and 5 kids. It had everything we needed and having pool access was really nice. Quiet up here during the winter, but still plenty to do and see. We hope to visit again!
Beautiful house in a great location with easy access to a boat. Many beautiful lakes to explore, people are friendly and local restaurants with great food. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to another visit!
The pinecone home was a great place to stay for the weekend, everyone in the group had a great time. The access to the water, fire pit and grill made it perfect for making meals at the house! I would definitely stay here again, thanks for the hospitality.
The Pinecone Cottage was wonderful! Perfect for our family of 8. Beds were comfortable, plenty of space for our granddaughters to run around and play. We would definitely stay again if in the area!
Really enjoyed labor day weekend, house is super nice with a beautiful viev.... definitely coming back!!!!

Beautiful home. Well equipped. Stocked with most anything you would possibly need. Love it!
We love this home. It’s large enough that we can spread out when we want to and cozy enough to be together and enjoy each others company. It is clean and efficient and has all the necessary provisions to have a stress free stay.

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your family getaway at The Pinecone Cottage! Hope to see you again soon!
Our family had a great time at this property. The house was just as advertised and the owner was extremely responsive with any questions. It was a great combination of private family time along with time spent at the Northernaire Resort for the family. We would strongly recommend this to any family!

We appreciate the review and are thrilled you enjoyed your time at the cottage! Thanks for choosing us! Hope to see you again soon!
We had a terrific vacation at the Pinecone as we have in past years. Beautiful home and we lucked out with great weather! Good fishing on the chain with musky, pike, walleye and bass. We took advantage of the pool at the resort for the younger children who loved it. Thank you.

Unexpected LUXURY!
From the first exterior view to the moment you step in the front door, this is so much more than just a "cottage". It's beautifully decorated, the bedrooms are fabulous, the kitchen meets all your needs, and the setting on Deer Lake is very cozy. Plus, the managers, Sue and Mal make you feel right at home. In fact, we became friends. The whole area around Three Lakes and Eagle River is such a delight to explore! Cranberries were at their peak in late September--a great treat to take a tour! Highly recommended for a truly relaxing getaway.

Bryan thanks for your wonderful comments. We are glad you had a great tome at Pinecone Cottage. We hope you return and make it an annual event. We agree Mal and Sue do a great job.
Pictures don't do justice to capture the absolute piece of heaven this house is.
The owner is prompt with messaging and answering your phone call which was super comforting. He was also able to give us some restaurant recommendations in the area.
From the minute you drive into the driveway the property takes your breath away. The house is the perfect set up for family time with the picturesque backdrop of the lake. We rented a boat from Watercraft and kept it at the assigned pier which is also steps from the house. We seen deer in the yard multiple times and an eagle soaring over head. There are so many things to love at this property it truly is a slice of heaven.
We definitely are already planning our next trip.

Happy Repeat Renters
We just completed our second annual stay at the Pinecone Cottage and enjoyed it again. The house is in great shape, and Sue the local property manager does a great job making sure you are happy. It is a nice combination of stand alone house by the water, with the larger resort a short walk away for the pool, hot tub, volleyball court and wi-fi. The swimming area off the dock has a few weedy areas, but plenty of open sandy area too. We rent a boat from a marina on the chain, and the dock is very convenient to the house. Kitchen area is huge, and great for group cooking. The lakes are never very busy, and either is the resort, so don't worry about a lot of neighbors or noise.
Only things on the wish list would be wi-fi in the house instead of walking to the resort, and since the closets are gigantic, I think they could have used some of the space for an extra bedroom.
Would definitely recommend for a larger family(s) looking for a very nice, modern house to rent on the lake.

Dave since your stay we have put a modem in the home so the wifi is now strong as ever in the home. Thanks for your comments and business. See you next summer.
Our daughter desired a lakefront wedding at her fiancé's cottage on an adjoining lake. We opted to stay here with our family and also hosted the bridesmaids activities the morning of the wedding. A beautiful setting with the lake just a few steps away. I was able to experience my "first look" with my daughter and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting than the Pinecone Cabin. This home is completely stocked with everything you could imagine. No need to pack anything other than your clothing as the hosts have considered everything. The pictures did not represent the warmth and beauty of the home and property. My children thought it would be a good idea to rent this home for one week each summer. Though we would benefit from renting a property with four bedrooms, if you only require three, this home should definitely be considered.
As always outstanding! The area is beautiful and house is amazing. Thank you Scott for being very accommodating and always is available to answer questions.
We highly recommend staying at The Pinecone Cottage! The home is beautiful, clean and with being on the chain, you can't beat the location. The home (kitchen, bathroom, etc.) is well stocked and the host is very attentive to any needs that may arise. Another plus was being able to use the amenities at the Northernaire Resort. The outdoor hot tub came in handy on a couple cooler nights:) I wouldn't hesitate to book this rental again.
What a great location to relax with family! Conveniently located on the Chain of Lakes with a dock right by the house. We enjoyed every water sport, especially the fishing. The house was clean and extremely well stocked, one of the best I have stayed at actually. I highly recommend this locations for those who love seclusion, water and luxury.
Our experience was great. We plan to return next year.

About the host

I spent my my youth at our family cabin on Wheeler Island in Three Lakes. These are my most treasured memories of my childhood! So it was always a dream to have my kids experience the same - the magic and wonder of the Northwoods of Wisconsin. We find so much joy being able to share this amazing place with our guests.
