About this property

Spacious Lakefront Lodge, Kayaks/Canoes Included! Pet Friendly!

Summary: 
Escape to your own piece of the serene Tomahawk Northwoods at the Eagle Waters Lodge! Bring the WHOLE family since we are pet-friendly! Nestled on the tranquil Spirit River Flowage, this stretch of water has almost nine miles of premier fishing, boating, and kayaking (kayaks and canoes included with your stay). Endless family memories are waiting right out the back door! If relaxing is in your itinerary, unwind in the 3400 sqft. lodge in our theater room or our screened-in porch. Enjoy the best of Tomahawk in comfort!


The space:
Since pets are welcome to stay at the lodge, you can enjoy Tomahawk with the ENTIRE family! Cook up legendary feasts in the fully outfitted kitchen, spark up some competition with our selection of board games, or cast a line right off our pier. The lodge has four kayaks and two canoes available for you and your group to explore the miles of shoreline and tributaries the Spirit River Flowage has to offer. Kick back and have family movie night in the theater room or spacious living room by the fireplace. Catch up with friends or family in the screened-in porch leading out to the spacious deck. Grab a stick and roast up s’mores around the fire pit overlooking the water. Sunsets are simply breathtaking down by the pier. Feel free to bring your own boat and dock it at the lodge for easy access to the flowage.


The surrounding area:
The Spirit River Reservoir has an endless amount of shoreline and water to explore via kayak, canoe, or snowmobile. With a maximum depth of 25 feet and a length of almost 9 miles, you will find opportunities at panfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye, and the coveted Wisconsin musky. Very important to keep in mind; the water level on the Spirit River Reservoir fluctuates throughout the year, specifically in preparation for winter and spring! In the summer months, this usually is not an issue for boating/fishing. Always practice safe boating procedures! There are four boat launches located on the reservoir, one located a four minute drive from the property. There are two snowmobile trails close by, one 3.5 miles away and another 4.5 miles away, all within access from the property by snowmobile (ditch riding required).

An important note - in late fall to early spring, the water depth fluctuates to allow for snow/ice melt in the flowage. The water level fluctuates four to six feet in late fall to early spring, but usually does not fluctuate very much in the warmer months (early April-mid October). Swimming is always safe and there is little to no current.

For current water level reports on the Spirit River Flowage, Google "Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company", go to the "Reservoirs" tab, and click "Water Level Reports". Use the down-menu to select "Spirit Reservoir".


Location:
The lodge is located only 13 minutes from downtown Tomahawk via Highway 86, 17 minutes from Highway 51, and only 20 minutes from Timm's Hill (highest natural point in Wisconsin). There are four boat launches located on the reservoir, one located just four minutes east via Highway 86. You are free to use our pier for easy access to the flowage. There are two snowmobile trails close by, one 3.5 miles away and another 4.5 miles away, all within access from the property by snowmobile (ditch riding required).

Perfect Family Vacation

The Spacious Lakefront Lodge was AMAZING!! It was definitely spacious and SO comfortable, even for our entire family. We enjoyed fishing, canoeing and kayaking, a campfire, and just hanging out together in the beautiful north woods. Ben was a great host. He gave us tips and information about the area, and made sure we had everything we needed. We hope to stay here again!

Space to play together, or apart!

Great property for family and friends to come together. Ample space inside and out gives older kids the freedom to find their place and/or for family and friend activities. Lots of golfing available in the area. Bring a truck up with you so you can simply float down the flowage in the kayak and get picked up when you're done! Well-appointed property and great communication from host.

Quiet retreat

We really enjoyed our time at this lovely lake home. It was very quiet and secluded which was wonderful. The water was great for paddle boarding, kayaking and canoeing. Our girls had a ton of fun swimming out past the pier. My husband had to do some work and it was pretty difficult with the WIFI and lack of cell signal, so keep that in mind. The beds were comfy and we had lots of space. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great Family Getaway

We were so pleased with our stay! The house was very well stocked, lots of towels and beach towels. Very clean and well taken care of. Easy to get to. Felt very secluded and peaceful. The house was very spacious. Plenty of room for our family of 7, including a dog. It was so nice to not feel like we were on top of each other while on vacation. The canoes and kayaks were a plus for all the fishing our boys did. The owner was very communicative and pleasant. We are already booking our trip for next year!

Great stay with friends!

You will not be disappointed staying at this cabin! The cabin was clean and very well appointed, everything we needed was there. The cabin was spacious and nice and accommodated all 8 of use very comfortably. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and lots of extra blankets to use. Ben was a great host; he answered all my questions (throughout the year) in a timely manner and check in and check out were very easy. We loved using the kayaks and canoes and exploring the flowage and watching the bald eagles from the pier. We also took advantage of the nearby lakes and rented a boat one day. This cabin was a great place to disconnect from work and life and we all had an excellent stay.

Perfect fit for our family!

This property checked all of the boxes plus some. We wanted to rent a place that had plenty of room for us and our three adult children and their families. This had separate spaces for everyone needed with small children, and the huge living room and nice sized kitchen were perfect for our group. We enjoyed the fishing, kayaking, canoes, having fires in the fire pit, played bags in the nice yard, beach time, and adult games in the kitchen after the kids went to bed. The closets and cupboards are stocked with almost all necessities. We really had a great time!

Perfect location for a girls weekend!

We had 14 girls stay for three nights for a bachelorette party, and this cabin was perfect! We never felt too cramped, there were beds for everybody and plenty of yard space. We spent the entire time lounging in the yard, sitting around the campfire, jumping off the dock and paddling around in the kayaks and canoes. We didn’t leave the cabin once and never got bored. We appreciated the privacy from the neighbors and little traffic on the lake. Felt like we had the whole area to ourselves! There was one issue with the basement plumbing, but the host was easy to contact and they had somebody out to fix it right away. We travelled from Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and California to be there and all felt it was well worth the trip!

Greatest VRBO Experience Ever!!

Our family LOVED your beautiful house! We were pleased from beginning to end. The set up of the house including bedrooms was just perfect for our family. The younger ones enjoyed the downstairs and arrangement, and the older couples enjoyed the privacy of their own bedrooms upstairs. The kitchen was well equipped and large enough that many could be in there preparing and cooking at the same time. The living and dining area was spacious and inviting, and was conducive for game playing and group conversations. There was plenty of room in the yard for games, but we mostly spent time on the water kayaking, paddle boarding, and relaxing by the water. The only drawback was that the river was very low and it was kind of muddy by the pier, but that didn’t stop anyone from having fun on the water.

Idyllic Northwoods Cabin!

My husband and I brought our 6 kids (ages 2-13) and our family dog here for a 4 night stay in early June. This cabin is so cool, it’s decorated perfectly with cozy cabin vibes. The beds and pillows are so comfortable, lots of room to sleep, we all slept like rocks. Our kids loved the bunk beds (both sets are full sized beds!) Also there is a large closet in the upstairs bedroom that is a perfect dark quiet spot for a pack-n-play, there is also a high chair in the laundry room. There is tons of space to spread out. The kitchen is great and has anything you could want or need. Our kids spent most of the time swimming off the dock and exploring with kayaks and canoes. They have life jackets but might want to bring kids/infant ones if you have a small child (we did). We enjoyed s’mores in the fire pit and parents enjoyed having the theater room for movie nights for the kids (so parents could enjoy quiet by the fire). The cabin is just a short drive from “town” where they have a few restaurants, playgrounds and we liked trying the couple different coffee shops. Ben was the perfect host, extremely responsive from booking all through our stay. The ONLY downside was the mosquitos were really bad. We went through 6 cans of Off Deep Woods in 4 days and still were eaten up. I’ve heard it’s a really bad year all across MN and WI. Try to get your hands on some higher deet bug spray (OFF deep woods is only 25%). We loved it here!! Hope to come back someday!

Sometimes you never know what you're going to get when you get to your VRBO. Sometimes the photos mislead you, but I must say everything shown in this listing is accurate. Everything about it was exceptional. Ben, who is the gentleman that corresponded with us through? All our questions was always available in a timely fashion. We will definitely be coming back to this magnificent place again in the future. So if you ever want to know anything more about this home, rest assured everything posted is spot on.

North Woods Family Trip

The house was beautiful and perfect for our family. We had kids from 1 mo- 6 years old. The house has so many unique details including bunk beds that would work even for adults. I especially enjoyed drinking my coffee on the dock in the morning and kayaking. The kitchen was fully stocked including even Tupperware. We had a few hiccups during the trip including the power being out for a few hours and the internet needing to be reset. I would bring flashlights. Due to the remote location of the house, there is no cell service. The owner was very responsive.

Great house and location. Having 4 kayaks available was great, and not usual from our experience. The river was not very busy, I think we only saw a handful of fishing boats the week we were there. This made for great conditions for the family to kayak. The kitchen was well stocked, and had everything we needed to cook some family meals at night. It was nice to have a table large enough for the whole family to sit and have dinner. The beds were very comfortable and 2 of the 3 showers had great water pressure. There was plenty of privacy, yet close enough to town and several golf courses to enjoy. Milo's was a small store just a couple of miles down the road that has a large selection if you need to pick something up quickly. Ben was very receptive to any questions we had and ensuring we had everything we needed. We had a great time, and would definitely go back.

Beautiful House-Great Host

Ben was a very attentive host- specific and timely communication. House was very nice, clean, fully stocked, and with a lot of special touches( nice sheets, pillows, towels, phone jacks, wifi boosters, kayaks/canoes). We were sad we didn’t have time to use basement area and movie room! Loved the screened in seasonal room. Water was calm and quiet and beautiful. Only small thing ( not a deal breaker)- lake view was somewhat obstructed by trees but created privacy that some want. it’s obvious that Ben takes great care of house/property. We really enjoyed our stay!

Our family has been in the rental business for the past 32 years. We are mainly focused on long-term rentals located in Whitewater for UW-W students.
