Three Lakes is a cozy community on the south end of 28 interconnected lakes – the largest chain of inland freshwater lakes in the world. Here, anglers find some of the finest musky, walleye and bass fishing in the Northwoods. Three Lakes is also on the western edge of the spectacular 650,000-acre Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest offering scenic bicycling, hiking, camping, and hunting.

The Nicolet side of the National Forest offers spectacular opportunities for bicycling, hiking, birding, photography, hunting, camping, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.

Downtown Three Lakes provides the old-fashioned charm of a store-front community. Its main street is lit by antique lampposts and lined with unique gift shops, restaurants and other small businesses. A family owned winery, Three Lakes Winery is located right in the downtown area.

Three Lakes began growing as a tourist vacation destination in the late 1930s. The increasing availability of automobiles, combined with the roads that existed from the logging industry, made the lakes and forests of the Three Lakes area an attractive vacation destination. Although tourism remains an important industry to the area, the town also has manufacturing, a winery, an arts center and numerous retail businesses that have diversified its economy.

Sky Meadows Cottage was fabulous

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was neat and tidy and just as described. The lake view was gorgeous! We saw several loons and otters and enjoyed just relaxing each day on the deck, and using the kayaks. Bill was very helpful and responsive in the pre-arrival days. I didn't need to contact him throughout the stay, as everything was perfectly fine! Thanks for the great stay!

Relaxing stay with amazing view

Sky Meadows Cottage is a classic Northwoods cabin. It has a vintage feel with modern conveniences. The cabin was very clean and has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing vacation. The location on the chain of lakes is great with Pine Isle restaurant/bar within walking distance and just a short drive into town. The host provided great communication and we would definitely rent here again!!

Up north vacation

Our family had a great time staying at Sky Meadows. The cabin was comfortable with amazing views of the lake. The lake with the sandy bottom was perfect for easy swimming off the pier. Bill was a great host & very easy to communicate with.

It's All About the View (and Location)

Bill is a great host, meeting in person at check-in to providing details about the property. Cabin is clean, comfortable and well-stocked. The star of the show is the view from the cabin's deck and the location on Medicine Lake, in the middle of the chain, is ideal.

Very well equipped

The owner met us at check-in and went over and above making sure we had everything we needed for our weeklong stay. The cabin has everything you need, more-so than any other VRBO we have stayed at. The location on the chain of lakes is ideal and the view from the deck is amazing!

Amazing 10 days!

We had an amazing 10 day stay at Bill’s cabin in Three Lakes. The location was beautiful and the cabin and property so well kept and gave us a true Wisconsin get away. We caught over 100 fish off the dock, kayaked daily, and enjoyed breathtaking views of the night sky while enjoying campfires. This vacation was heavenly and one we will remember forever.

The cottage is all that you need and nothing more. Everything works and is easy to use. The location is ideal, with the perfect view. Host was very detailed with instructions, which was a huge help, and provided two kayaks, which really sealed the deal.

The Best Lake Views

My family stayed here for the week and enjoyed the incredible lake views and access. The cottage is better than advertised and was very well cared for and easily accommodated my wife and I and our two kids. The access to the chain of lakes is perfect and the fishing from the pier was good. But the best aspect is the lake view - whether from the deck or from the swing chair, unparalleled views. Bill, the owner, was very attentive and easy to work with. We highly recommend staying here!

Some dishes were not clean .. wash everything before you use them. Take along what you must have.

The cabin was comfortable and clean. The view was beautiful. We were looking for a get-away at almost the last minute and this was perfect. Close to 2 eateries/bars and not far from Three Lakes. The second best thing is they allowed our small dog to stay with us.

Perfect North Woods Cottage

Super clean (and I am crazy picky)! Very cute cottage - excellent location on Medicine Lake with great restaurant a few minutes walk away. Cottage is well stocked with essentials and items we don’t usually find in vaca rentals. So relaxing. Highly recommended for a couple or small family.

Great Cabin on the lake

Had a wonderful stay at this cabin with a fantastic view over Medicine Lake. Cabin was clean and fully loaded with amenities. Also provided were 2 kayaks, a row boat, and 2 bicycles. Bill was very helpful upon check in and provided a lot of information for the area. He also made himself available if we had any questions during our stay. Also nice to walk to Pine Isle for some good food and atmosphere on the water. Will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Ideal Place to Stay in Three Lakes

My husband and our two tiny dogs had a wonderful two weeks at Bill's cabin. Bill was readily available, grew up in the area, and can offer valuable advice. It's obvious he has put a lot of TLC into making his place a home to share. His cabin has everything needed to feel right at home. His offer to provide his bicycles, kayaks, and rowboat were very welcome. The resident neighbors on either side were quiet but very friendly the few times we passed them by. It was a real treat to be able to walk to Pike's Pine Isle--best pizza ever! And--what a view! We would love to come back.

What a view!

We had such a wonderful and relaxing time staying at this cabin. You are right off of a beautiful lake and the view off the deck is just incredible! The oversized sliding glass door in the living room made you feel like you were outside even when inside. The cabin has an "up north" feel, nothing fancy, but everything you need. Our dog had the time of his life jumping of the dock! The water is shallow and sandy right of the dock and as long as you dont mind a few weeds the water was great for swimming. We saw lots of wildlife right from the property: deer, loons, eagles, and even lake otters (which I have never seen and I have been going up north for many years). It was difficult to leave. Thank you for everything, Bill!

A Wonderful Cottage

Celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, we have had many experiences of staying at VRBOs and other lodgings in northern Wisconsin over the years. This particular property far surpassed any expectations we might have had. Bill, the owner, was so accommodating as he showed us around, gave us information about the Three Lakes area, including where to eat, hike, rent a boat. His love for his property is clear as he shares it's history. The updates he has done and continues to do make for a very comfortable retreat. My husband fished the entire time from the dock while I loved sitting on the deck reading and looking out over the beautiful lake. An avid fisherman, my husband was quite happy with the number of large fish he caught right off the dock, especially the largest musky he ever caught (approx.42lbs./47"). We got a much-needed respite in a clean and "covid" safe environment, thanks to Bill's attention to every detail making it a "turn-key" cottage. We hope to return to this wonderful property.

Excellent Location, Amazing Views, Great Owner

Best location on the chain with easy access to the other lakes, although we spent most of our time on Medicine Lake fishing, boating and swimming. There is a nice sandy shoreline and swim area off the dock. This lake house has amazing views of the lake and sky. We were lucky to be there for the full buck moon, a spectacular sight watching it rise and light up the lake at night. We also had some beautiful sunrises, sunsets and a full rainbow. We enjoyed the view from the deck, the swing and from the kitchen and living room. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The breeze off the lake kept the house comfortably cool. We were grateful to be able to dock our boat at the property and have use of the bikes and kayaks. Bill was quick to reply to any questions we had. He met us at check in to make sure we had everything we needed and at check out to ask how we enjoyed our stay. He is very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and gave good recommendations. Thank you for sharing your family’s cabin with us. We would definitely rent again.

A Great Northwoods Getaway

To start off, Bill was incredibly quick to communicate and very helpful with any and all questions we had. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay was everything my fiance and I had hoped for. He knows the area very well and had countless recommendations when we asked for things to do, places to eat, etc. He had a row boat, kayaks, and bikes all ready for us to use, as well as firewood! Easily one of the best host experiences we've ever had. The location is a stunner and a perfect location to unwind and have some fun on the lake. It's also super close to a great bar and grill we frequented during our stay. In the area we also saw tons of deer and fawns, beautiful loons, and other animals which was nice coming from a city where the typical wildlife is pigeons and rats lol. The amenities and house were very well kept and you can see Bill really cares about providing the best stay & experience possible for his guests. tl;dr - 11/10, going to come back in the future. Thanks again Bill!

Not accurate description on Vrbo.

We were very disappointed that it was stated that the host(owner) has his business on the property we rented. We came there for a relaxing vacation and don't want to have the owner show up whenever. We also were VERY disappointed that he wouldn't let us put in a small room window A/C unit, we then asked him if we could get a small one that stands inside, he said yes so my husband went and bought one for $350. We hooked it up and sent pictures to the owner and he said we couldn't use it at first . It was a very unusually warm August there and the house was over 80 degrees. The owner told us that we shouldn't be inside we should be outside enjoying the lake. First of all we don't want to come back and sweat as we sleep, second we don't want anyone telling us how to spend our vacation. Needless to say we moved out and found another rental through Vasco and it was wonderful. We then called Vrbo and they contacted the owner, he then changed his tune and said we could run the A/C we bought. By then it was too late. The other thing is the mattress on the two beds were springs holding a sheet on them. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. If we would have stayed there more than one night we would have gone back to Menards to buy two twin mattress. Over all VERY DISAPPOINTED with our experience here. The cabin has a killer view but that is about it. And I feel the owner should not be the host.

Incredible Lake Views

I really enjoyed my stay at the cabin. The cabin is located close to the town of Three Lakes, which makes it very convenient for groceries and bait. Bill, the owner, was very helpful and informative. During my stay I had a problem with my boat motor and Bill provided me with information for a boat mechanic, who promptly took care of my issue onsite. The views of the lake from the deck are outstanding. I fished from the dock several times and caught enough to have a fish dinner one night.
