Nice and cozy cabin with lake view just across the driveway. The screened in porch is a plus! A lot of games and things to do for families. Although we didn’t spend much time at the cabin, we enjoyed it and slept well.

The cabin was clean and well stocked. The A/C was not working, but the nights were cool and fans were supplied. The lake access was full of algae and not really usable, possibly due to the time of year. Overall, a nice cabin.

We’re sorry to hear you feel that way. When we spoke after your stay, you indicated that you were happy with the cabin. The additional charge was for the late checkout and extra cleaning required after your departure, which were outside of the agreed-upon house rules. We strive to provide a clean, comfortable experience for every guest and apply our policies consistently.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

As a child my family would vacation in the Eagle River area each summer, this tradition continued with my own family. I have always wanted to have a place of my own in the area where we could enjoy and share the northern experience with others.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is located on a quiet, private lake, but is only minutes from downtown Eagle River, and only 30 minutes from Minocqua.
Snowmobile, ATV, and biking trails are endless. There are also countless lakes to choose from if fishing or recreational boating is what you're looking for.
