Overview
Welcome to your ideal Northwoods getaway — a freshly updated lakefront cabin 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 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 cottage offers a variety of activities for guests to enjoy. With a private dock and easy lake access, you can swim or take advantage of the kayak and paddle boat available for guest use. The yard is perfect for playing games like washer toss, ladderball, yard Yahtzee, and outdoor Jenga. 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 shared fire pit and a large grassy lawn for additional relaxation or play. For those who enjoy outdoor cooking, a gas grill is provided.
Inside the cabin, you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook and dine in comfort. The living area is cozy and inviting, with a large picture window that overlooks the lake, allowing natural light to fill the space. There’s plenty of room for board games and indoor activities, ensuring a fun experience for everyone.
While the cabin is 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, this cottage is close to restaurants, shops, and coffee spots.

Like the ability to rent two cabinets next to each other.
just like we expected
Great location Nice place to stay
Nice little cabin on the water. Over priced for the accommodations.
I would say that the location and cleanliness of the cabin was wonderful. I realize it is an old building but simple things like having cupboard doors that shut without having to use a rubber band or having cereal bowls and dish towels seem so easy to fix. Maybe even getting a new toilet seat without cracks in the foam would be good.If the kitchen sink could hold water to do dishes that would be awesome too. Probably the hardest thing to accept was that the shower did not have hot water. The sink right next to it did but not the shower. The outside grill, once we figured out how to turn the gas on in the cupboard would not light and was filthy. It just looks like the owners don’t seem to care anymore and just are letting it fall apart. When you charge people money there is a certain expectation that should be there. It is not someplace my family would ever consider staying at again. Again, it was clean but otherwise the only word I would use to describe it is ick.
Beautiful lake front view , quiet
