7-Night Minimum, Lakefront Cabin with Dock, Firepit & Cozy Northwoods Charm

Poppa's Paradise

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

Poppa’s Paradise is where three generations of our family unplugged, laughed, and made summer memories in the Wisconsin Northwoods. Now it’s your turn to roast marshmallows by the fire, play late-night games, and wake up to the scent of pine drifting through the trees.

Mornings begin with loon calls and coffee on the dock as the lake slowly comes to life. Wander into town for pancakes at Toad in the Hole or a latte from Red Canoe Coffee. Spend your day swimming, paddling, fishing, or simply dozing in the shade. As the sun dips low, grill dinner and gather around the lakeside firepit beneath a sky full of stars. Toast a few marshmallows, share some laughs, and repeat—it’s the rhythm of summer at Poppa’s Paradise.

Nestled in Sugar Camp, Wisconsin—perfectly tucked between Eagle River and St. Germain—this cozy retreat puts you close to hiking trails, iconic supper clubs, and small-town diners. You’re a short drive from beloved local favorites like The White Stag’s legendary steaks and Old Fashioneds, Toad in the Hole’s hearty breakfasts, and Red Canoe Coffee’s cozy atmosphere. Spend a fun afternoon at Elmer’s Fun Park, pick up treats from Tremblay’s Fudge & Turtles or Minocqua Popcorn, and cap it all off with a sunset stop at Andy’s Pontoon Saloon.

Whether you’re hiking the Raven Trail, exploring the shops in Eagle River, or simply floating off your private dock with a drink in hand, Poppa’s Paradise offers the perfect mix of relaxation and family-friendly fun.

This home features a private dock for swimming, fishing, or floating with a drink in hand, a lakeside firepit with Adirondack chairs under starry skies, three bedrooms that sleep six comfortably, fiber internet for streaming or work, a full kitchen with washer and dryer, and a wooded lot that provides privacy and a true connection to nature.

Whether you’re hiking the Raven Trail, exploring the shops in Eagle River, or simply floating off your private dock with a drink in hand, Poppa’s Paradise offers the perfect mix of relaxation and family-friendly fun.

Poppa's Paradise

This house has everything you need for a relaxing trip to the North Woods. The lake behind the house was beautiful and clean. The house is located all the way at the end of the street so it's very private. The neighbors were quiet and respectful at night and the owner was available for any questions. The house had room to host a family of 4-5.

Paradise Found

There is so much to love about Poppa’s Paradise! Here are some of the many things we loved-private setting, beautiful views, fresh air, great fishing in the canoe that was provided, close to hiking and biking trails, conveniently located near St. Germaine and cozy and comfortable cabin!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Amazing Cabin, Location, Experience

I don’t have enough good things to say about our stay at Poppa’s Paradise. Cabin (10/10): Everything shown on the listing is exactly what we showed up to. Clean and spacious. There was plenty of space for our family of 4 and could have comfortably fit a few more. The cabin itself was very cute and having the lake in the backyard was an amazing scene to wake up to. Location (10/10): The area feels like it’s just you and your group but when we wanted to go into the town we were just a quick drive away. The access to the lake is unbeatable. Host (10/10): Our host was super responsive and easy to get a hold of. Everything was in good condition and we did not have any issues during our stay. 10/10 would recommend this cabin to any family or group looking to be in a perfect location.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
This property was advertised as immaculate and well appointed in every room. We did not find that to be an accurate description. The cleanliness was fair…mold in the bathroom caulk…a toilet that leaked condensation on the floor…mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers…a dish drainer that needed bleach and a cleaning brush.The kitchen supplies were abysmal. If you intend to kick back and cook and eat in, it’s nearly impossible in this property: one mixing bowl….no measuring spoons or dry measuring cups…no pizza pan or cutting wheel…not one knife able to slice a loaf of bread. My list could go on and on, but you get the idea. The property sits on nice piece of wooded lakefront. But our solitude was interrupted by the blaring of music from across the channel on most days. Both fire alarms unnecessarily sounded, at different times, during our stay. We spent most of our first evening trying to connect to the internet with the WRONG INFORMATION that was given to us to sign in. This property really has great potential…and it wouldn’t take a huge investment to make it wonderful.

Fantastic waterfront paradise!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Poppa's Paradise in Eagle River, WI, and I must say it was an absolutely phenomenal experience! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this vacation house was something special. The first thing that struck me was the breathtaking view. Nestled right by the water, Poppa's Paradise offers stunning vistas of the lake, especially during sunrise and sunset. The tranquility of the surroundings immediately put us in a relaxed, vacation state of mind. The house itself is impeccably maintained and beautifully decorated, combining rustic charm with modern amenities. Every room was spotless and well-appointed, providing a cozy yet luxurious feel. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals, and the spacious living area was perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor space. The private dock was ideal for fishing and kayaking, and we spent many hours just enjoying the peaceful ambiance by the water. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. They provided great recommendations for local attractions and dining, which enhanced our experience even more. It’s clear they take great pride in Poppa's Paradise, and their attention to detail truly made us feel at home. Poppa's Paradise is a true gem in Eagle River. Whether you're looking for a serene getaway or an adventurous vacation, this house has it all. I can’t recommend it highly enough and am already looking forward to our next visit. Five stars all the way!

Fall On Paradise Lake

The cabin had a beautiful view of the lake. The place is exactly how the pictures online made it look. Vacasa employees were very friendly about meeting a couple of requests we had. Main living area gave plenty of room for family fun and meals.
