About this property

Peace, Privacy and a Pontoon!! No steps in home or to water!

If your dream Northwoods vacation includes an immaculate home, a level walk to 300' of frontage, a huge private pier, ripple sand beneath your toes and a quiet, 180-acre full recreation lake, then consider spending your vacation on Tambling Lake in Eagle River. The lake is private; you will probably experience moments (or hours or sometimes DAYS) when you will have the lake all to yourself. Fishermen will not be disappointed as bass, pike and panfish abound! Grill lunch and dinner and savor your meal on your private pier. Perhaps you will spot an eagle, otter or loon "dining" while you eat! After lunch, take the provided kayak, paddleboat, canoe or rowboat out for a spin. An 18' Bennington pontoon boat is also available for $550/week plus gas. A sunset pontoon cruise is the perfect way to end a fun-filled day in the Northwoods. Follow your cruise with smores around the fire pit. Sleep deeply, wake and repeat!! Families and friends will appreciate the chance to unplug and reconnect with one another. Watch a movie, play a board game, complete a puzzle and relax, relax, relax! Eagle River's famed chain of lakes is less than a 3 minute drive. Back roads are perfect for bike rides, atvs, or a leisurely jog. Participate in local festivals, flea markets, farmer's markets or just do some souvenir-shopping in Eagle River. Bring your beach towels. Everything else you will need is provided for you. A washer and dryer in the cabin are provided for your convenience. Call today to reserve your week of quiet bliss at Gabe's Getaway! Saturday-Saturday rentals only June 1-August 31. This property is privately owned AND managed. All communication, prior and during your stay, is directly with Sally, Joe or Gabe. We want your needs taken care of immediately so we have chosen to manage our property ourselves. No property manager means no extra fees for our guests! We look forward to meeting you!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Gabe's Getaway! Sally and Joe were awesome hosts, very responsive and gave us some great tips on the happenings for the week in the area and just overall very welcoming. The property was very well kept and clean. Everything was laid out very nicely and had lots of room for lawn games and stretching out. We really liked our daily visits from a doe and two fawns. Loved the pontoon boat for fishing and lake cruises, and the pier was great for enjoying sunsets or just enjoying the view. Hope to come back again!

Great Stay!

We really enjoyed our stay......the location was quiet even on a busy holiday weekend, but was close to town. The cabin had a northwoods feel, was comfortable and met all our needs......the pier was a really nice surprise; nice stairs to the sandy bottom to cool off and for our daughter to play in. We also took advantage of the pontoon rental.....which worked out really well. Joe and Sally were great, and overall we had a really good stay!

If you are looking for a peaceful retreat in Wisconsins North Woods, this is it. Lovely wooded lot and home facing the lake, which is very quiet (at least in October). You just have to show up and enjoy.

The hosts are so kind and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed the pontoon boat and cruising around the lake. Located conveniently close to downtown Eagle River. Would recommend!

Enjoyable Lake Experience

We had a wonderful time during our 2-week stay here. My sister and brother-in-law joined us for a few days and all of us especially enjoyed sitting at the table on the dock with our morning and evening beverages. Spent a lot of time on the lake fishing and relaxing. The pontoon boat was great! Sally & Joe were terrific hosts!

Beautiful woodsy location

The property is so pretty, surrounded by trees, and the pier is the perfect place to watch the sun set over the lake. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking dinner, and the beds are very comfortable. Our only wish would have been to watch some television late-night, but there was absolutely no t.v. reception.

Hi Susan and Sisters! I am glad the beds were comfy and the kitchen was well-stocked! We have not ever had an issue with the tv; you should have received about 8-10 channels. I wish you had called me as I would have been glad to try to help! Hope your reunion was a good one!

Awesome property. Awesome hosts. Great fishing.

There’s a reason this is a five star stay in the Northwoods. We rent a place every year, and my adult children expressed that overall this was the best property that we’ve ever stayed at thus far. Great hosts. Great fishing and an awesome dock set up for swimming and enjoying the water… eagles, loons, deer and a private lake with abundant bass and northern. A great Northwoods getaway! 5 ⭐️

Plenty of room and lots of amenities at this beautifully wooded location.. Grandkids were excited to see deer in the yard and loons on the lake. Everyone had fun on the pontoon, kayaks and canoe. The sunsets were awesome. There is a lot to do here with swimming and fishing during the day and campfires at night. We plan on booking this again next year.

Fantastic Stay!

We loved our stay at Gabe’s Getaway. Property is very clean and perfectly situated close to Eagle River but with plenty of peace and quiet. Owners are so accommodating and communicative. We would rent here again in a heartbeat. Lake is absolutely beautiful- it was too cold for swimming (October) but it’s perfect if you come in the summer. Sandy bottom, steps for easy access to the lake, plenty of water toys, and with the shallow water it’s perfect for families with kids.

Retreat Into Nature

We enjoyed the comfort and spaciousness of the cabin. The lake is peaceful and we really enjoyed sitting on the dock, having coffee in the morning and watching the sunsets in the evenings. The loons, ducks and eagles came by to greet us every day. We loved all of the trees on the property and were thrilled when the deer came. Fishing off the dock, using the paddle boat and kayak added to our enjoyment.

About the host

Hosted by Sally Mordente

Host profile image
Our family has vacationed in the Eagle River area for 30 years! We love the pace, the privacy and the peace of the northwoods. We can give you tips on where to find the best burgers, breakfast or bloody marys, or where to take the most scenic drive! Our family lives in Eagle River so we are close by (but not too close!) if you need anything during your stay.

Why they chose this property

We chose this cabin because it is surrounded by hardwoods and pines yet is close to the water. There are no steps, so all ages can enjoy both the home and the lake. 3 acres and 300 feet of frontage add to its secluded feel. The cabin is super cozy and clean!

What makes this property unique

Tambling Lake is private, so on some days you might have the lake to yourself. Rent the beautiful Bennington pontoon for maximum enjoyment on the water. Fishing is great because there is very little pressure. Eagle River's chain of lakes is close by and downtown Eagle River is a 5-minute drive. Convenient to groceries, post office, library, souvenirs, movie theater.
