About this property

Otter Bay Cabin...A Beautifully Furnished Lakefront All Season Cabin!

Otter Bay Cabin is located on Little Kitten Lake on the Wildcat chain ....a 375 acre Class A Musky Lake..4 miles north of Boulder Junction, WI , a popular town in Vilas County. It is a spacious 3 bedroom/2 bath cottage with your own private dock and has all the amenities of home.
Take a look at the video with our photos. It is of the drive into Wildcat Cabins in a winter wonderland. Otter Bay Cabin is available all winter long. There are not many places any prettier than the Northwoods in winter. We're located within a hour drive from some of the best downhill skiing in the UP, within a few miles of wonderful cross country skiing and snow shoeing trails and within a few hundred yards of the snowmobile trails. Enjoy relaxing in front of the fireplace and all the winter activities.
A great place for a weeklong family adventure or a romantic getaway for two. The private setting with a fantastic view from the three seasons porch affords you a great Upnorth experience. You will see loons, otters, eagles, sunsets and beautiful Fall color. Whether you want to relax and curl up with a good book in the hammock, kayak or water ski, fish for the trophy Musky, hike or bike the many marked trails, or shop and dine in the quaint nearby towns, there is something available for each of you.
Winter is a great time to enjoy the Northwoods as well. Snowshoeing, ice fishing, Nordic cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating are available near our cabin. Snowmobile Trail #15 is at the end of our driveway. After a fun filled day of winter activities, warm up by the fireplace as you watch TV on the large screen.
Direct TV and WIFI are provided. The kitchen is fully equipped. Check out our new décor as you scroll thru the photos. We are pet friendly but limit our guests to one dog. We are here to serve you and excited to make your vacation the best ever.

The location of the property is very peaceful and relaxing. The views to the lake were astounding! Sitting at the dock listening to the frogs was joyful. Would have been nice to have AC as it was very hot in cabin.

We love Otter Bay

Great cabin on a beautiful lake! The cabin is cozy, and the location is perfect. We were able to use the firepit, too, which was perfect for the October weather. Will definitely book again when we're back in Boulder Junction!

Sisters Weekend

Four sisters stayed at this very convenient location, super clean, spacious cabin just north of Boulder Junction in Aug of 2024. We were beyond happy with the entire experience. Kayaks, canoes, firewood for the large fire pit, pretty lake and spacious rooms, were just some of the upsides to this VBRO. We highly recommend and will likely go back.

Winter getaway

We went for winter fun. The cabin was perfect for our group of three couples. We spent the days on the ice fishing and skating. The town and local establishments were fun to explore. We went out on the ice to experience the night time sky. The stars we absolutely brilliant. Wonderful accommodations for a wonderful stay.

Wildcat big Kitten

Lovely property, nicer in person than I expected from the photos. Very nice dock - loved the Adirondack chairs! Fishing was excellent on Big Kitten and Wildcat. We caught bass, northern, crappie, and pan fish pretty much every day.

Nice holiday getaway

We have stayed at various Wildcat Cabins over the last 28 years and this one was well kept and had everything you could need. The cabin was clean, updated furniture/decor and nice seating area/table on the screen porch (table was perfect for a puzzle on a rainy day). Owner was very friendly and helpful when I called with a question. The only thing that could be improved was the Wifi, it was too weak for streaming or video calls. I wouldn't let that hold you back though, it's nice to be less connected for a while. :) Would definitely stay at this cabin again!

It's hard to give a review when you only spend two nights and most of our time during the day was away from the cabin. Plus, the weather didn't cooperate so we missed out on enjoying the property.

Successful ice fishing trip with friends

Had a great birthday weekend in the otter bay cabin catching fish in the ice shanty out on big kitten lake. Cabin was as expected. Communication was great just a text away and immediate response. Definitely will be returning in the future. Very beautiful up there. Perfect getaway

Summer Stay

Rare very hot, humid day and unit had no A/C. There was 1 floor fan and a small dresser fan in main bedroom. W/D was on upper level WTH 3rd B/R and bath. Our dog was allowed but until we received final communication we didn’t know we had to bring a kennel. We did enjoy the cabin but there was a lot of furniture in the space. Very clean and quiet.

Everything was fine. But a 9 a.m. check out time is a little extreme. Got in at 3 on Friday and out at 10 a.m. on Sunday. Even 10:00 would be better. Other than that, I would recommend. Y

Relaxing stay

Great place and excellent location. We loved the 3 season porch. An excellent place to relax in to get away from mosquitos and when it rained. The kids loved fishing and swimming. Used the kayaks on the beach. 5 minutes to town and to better cell/internet reception. We can’t wait to go back!

Comfortable cabin with beautiful views!

We had a wonderful time! The views were amazing, property grounds were beautiful! The cabin was so cozy, clean and had everything we needed. The town is only minutes away if we needed anything and enjoyed a dinner at the restaurant just a mile away. We did some ice fishing and had a campfire enjoying the secluded beautiful views of the northwoods! The cabin was perfect and we enjoyed ringing in the new year by the fireplace. The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating! We would love to come back!

Great Cabin, Great Location

My wife and I travel to the Minocqua area every year. We've stayed at a few Wildcat Cabins over the years, and the experience is always wonderful. Clean, fully-furnished cabins. Kind and caring owners who go out of their way to ensure their customers have a nice stay. Our stay in the Otter Bay cabin was no different. Wonderful property. Wonderful owners. We'll be back. A+ experience, as always.
