About this property

Cranberry Lake Escape

The house is located on Cranberry Lake, on the Eagle River Chain of Lakes. Enjoy your own private beach with 100’ of frontage! Enjoy our fully furnished lake house with new kitchen, dining, living rooms and gas fireplace. Relax with no worries and great memories!

Our home offers a family-friendly environment for all ages. Easy lake access to a shallow beach area for splashing in the water. In the summer, spend your days on the water or sitting on the screened-in porch or deck. In the winter, snuggle up next to the gas fireplace or get outside to snowmobile with easy access to nearby trails. Cook your meals in our fully equipped kitchen.

There are four bedrooms - two on the main floor (one king bed and one queen bed), and two on the lower level (one queen, two dual twin bunk beds). Lower level features a comfortable conventional / inflatable queen sleeper sofa. There is a full bathroom on each level.

For the younger members, there is a pack and play, booster seat and space-saver high chair available for your use.

There are two guest slips available for your boat. One on the dock side for boats up to 20'. A second U - shaped boat slip for larger boats.

Local contact available for any issues that may arise during your stay.

5.5% WI Sales Tax and 4.5% Town of Washington Room Tax will be applied to all reservations. A security deposit provision of $500 is required for all bookings - paid through HomeAway payments. Credit card will be billed only for deposit claims. See rental agreement for details.

To be as transparent as possible, we would like to inform you that we have two security cameras on the exterior of the house. One is focused on the driveway / garage, mainly so we can verify that we actually did close the garage door! The other is on the back of the house, focused on the lake. This is primarily for our use when at work and would rather be up north!

We enjoyed our stay so much! We traveled with 4 adults and 2 kids. The host supplied booster seats, a pack and play, and a baby gate which were so great to have. There was a small beach area with sand that was perfect for the 2 year old to play in and the gradual decline made it safe and fun for him to splash around. The paddle boat, kayaks, and paddle board were in great shape and they had lifejackets available that were clean and organized. We were always able to find what we needed because the kitchen and utility areas are very well stocked. The lake view was very impressive and the yard had enough room to play, hang a hammock, and enjoy a fire at the end of the day. The kids loved watching the deer eat acorns in the backyard and the fishing right of the dock was plentiful. I would recommend 100% for families that want to have a great cabin experience in the North Woods.

Lovely, impeccably maintained home on a chain of 28 lakes. Located within a short distance to many restaurants. Northwoods Children's Museum is not to be missed for children 2-10 years. Deer wandered through the property almost daily. Would love to return.

Beautiful Northwoods Cabin

This was our 4th year vacationing at Cranberry Lake Escape. It is absolutely beautiful and crosses off everything we would ever want for our family vacation. The lake view and outside yard is gorgeous! Everything you might need is supplied in the cabin. We rent their pontoon boat for the week and the daily rides are the highlight of our trip. Our family cannot wait to return next year!!

Check in was easy. A beautiful new kitchen was provided with plenty of cookware (bring your own kitchen pantry items: salt,pepper, oil).The open concept included a large table for 6 but we were able to sqeeze in 8. The living room included comfortable recliners and a nice sofa. The screened in porch although small was very enjoyable!

Great Eagle River Vacation Home

The Cranberry Lake Escape home is a beautiful and well maintained property. The home is extremely well taken care of and well stocked with all the supplies to make a stay enjoyable. The setup of the home was great with two bedrooms up stairs and two downstairs. The outdoor areas are the best part of the home as the gently sloping yard leads to a perfect shallow area for kids in the water. This is a perfect retreat on the Eagle River chain of lakes.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan & Lindsay Jonas

Host profile image

Our family generations have been vacationing in the Eagle River area since the 1960s. With a passion for the north woods, we have decided to purchase a house and share it with others who share passion for this area.

Why they chose this property

This property has been well maintained, located in a desirable area and has many amenities. What was perhaps one of the best features for us was the level yard down to the lake. As many properties we viewed were on a lake front, this property requires no steps to get to our sandy beach.

Cranberry Lake is on the largest inland chain of lakes in the world. Significant opportunities to visit lake accessible restaurants after a day on the water.

And you are conveniently located within a 10 minute drive to Eagle River.

Welcome to the great north woods!
