About this property
Sunset Cove Eagle River- Waterfront Retreat on Catfish Lake
Looking for that Up North relaxing family getaway where your kids can run out the back door and jump off the dock, roast marshmallows, kayak, paddle board, fish, boat, and make memories that will last a lifetime? You have come to the right place. Sunset Cove is located on beautiful Catfish Lake in Eagle River. Catfish Lake is a part of the chain of 28 lakes- the largest in the world. This newly updated home sits conveniently on the exclusive Everett Peninsula, close to everything- restaurants, pond hockey, The Dome, snowmobile trails, golf courses, hiking/biking in The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, and the charming downtown Eagle River. The new Marina Bar just opened this year, and is just a quick 5 minute walk or kayak ride away. You can spend an entire week cruising the chain exploring, and stopping for a bite to eat or drink at many of the amazing restaurants.
Sunset Cove has many excellent outside amenities, a large permanent pier where you can take in the gorgeous sunsets, a large patio by the water with an outdoor covered cookstation, and a custom fire-pit with firewood included. There are multiple patio tables outside for those summer dinners. There is a shed by the water with 2 kayaks, and a row boat on the dock with paddles that are also included for your enjoyment while you stay. The sandy, clear shoreline is fantastic for swimming and soaking up the sun! It is shallow near the shore which is great for the little ones wanting to splash around. Another added bonus is the grassy flat lot, perfect for yard games, and relaxing.
This lovely home features a newly updated open concept kitchen, living, and dining room with incredible views of the lake, beautiful maple hardwood floors, and a 65 in. flat screen TV. The dining room table has space for 10, and the breakfast table can hold 4. We do have extra folding tables and chairs available if needed. There are 3 bedrooms on the main level. All with beautiful Cedar Creations Furniture. The master bedroom sleeps 4 with a king bed, and Full futon, large flat screen TV and patio doors leading onto the deck. Great for morning coffee! It has an ensuite bathroom with large walk in shower and jetted tub with two vanities. The second guest room has the same gorgeous views of the lake and a king bed with a door leading into the main level bathroom. The third guest room has a queen bed and shares the upstairs bathroom which has a tub/shower combo and two large closets for plenty of storage. The lower level bedroom sleeps 4 with a queen bed, and bunks, twin over twin. The lower level also has gorgeous views of the lake with a large open rec room with a pool/ping pong table, and a walkout basement. A 3/4 bathroom is located down stairs as well. All the bathrooms are stocked with towels, hand towels, wash clothes, hand soap, and 2 rolls of toilet paper. Another fantastic feature of this home is a lower level living room with partial kitchen. This room features a gas fireplace and TV, and queen futon. Great space for kids or adults to relax, and play games if the weather is bad.
Laundry is located on the main level with laundry detergent included. The kitchen is fully stocked.
All three TV’s in the house have Roku to watch your own shows and movies. High speed internet is also included. Linens are provided for all the beds. Towels are included. Please bring your own beach towels for the lake!! We DO NOT provide those! I also recommend bringing paper goods for the kitchen. I have found it much easier than washing dishes when on vacation! We also have a place for you to dock your own boat, or we can recommend a couple of places for boat rentals nearby.
Eagle River hosts a plethora of activities and things to do. Mini golfing, laser tag, horseback riding, go karts, The Northwoods Children's Museum are just a few. A variety of events also take place year around in Eagle River. Fall host Cranberry Fest, a well attended attraction each year. Fall color is also beautiful in the area. Winter hosts: The World Championships Snowmobile Derby, and Pond Hockey Championships on Dollar Lake only 5 minutes away, ice fishing, ice skating, cross country skiing, down hill skiing at Ski Brule (31 miles from Sunset Cove), sledding, and snowmobiling, Eagle River is considered the snowmobile capital of the world with over 500 miles of groomed trails. Our home has quick access to the trail just a quick 1/4 mile from the driveway. We have a large 2-car garage that can warm up those snowmobiles in the cold. Besides all the wonderful attractions Eagle River hosts there are plenty of town nearby that also are fun to explore. Minocqua, Three Lakes, Land O' Lakes just to name a few.
If you have any further questions about Sunset Cove on Catfish Lake please let us know! We look forward to renting to you! Please note our summer bookings have a Friday turnover! Just in time for the Friday Fish Fry!

It’s always a pleasure renting to your group! Looking forward to hosting you again!
We really enjoyed our stay at the property. The house is spacious and very clean and we had everything we needed for our week-long stay. Would definitely come back.
The house was amazing. Beautiful and extremely well stocked. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t there. The lower level game room, TV room and bunk room were perfect for adult children! We all had lots of fun there. Everything was perfect! Great directions for check in and check out and very clean! We loved it!
This house is equipped with everything you think you need for a home away from home. The view is wonderful, communication with the host is great. Close enough to town for quick grocery runs.
Great property and excellent location. There is a ton of water sport equipment in the shed, which was fantastic. The pier was perfect for docking my ski boat. We would definitely consider booking again.

Thanks for the wonderful review! We would to host you again in the future! We also love all the water sports you can do in our quiet cove!
Best 50th anniversary vacation with family we could have ever asked for.
Everything about the property was great, the stay with our family could not have been better. We enjoyed the beautiful lake also, fishing, boating and skiing was a blast. Playing pool and Foosball was so fun with grandkids, and roasting marshmallows for smores the best. Thanks for letting us enjoy your property 😊

We are so happy you had a wonderful 50th anniversary! We look forward to hosting you again next year!
Great location. Easy to get too. Plenty of sleeping and living quarters for 3 couples. Activities on property are nice. Large entertainment areas on both floors. Few minutes from town and dining options. Our 2nd time at this property.
Sunset Cove was a great escape for our short family Summer getaway. Lots of fun lake recreation tools provided as well as bags and lots of indoor activities for the evening. We had 6 adults and 6 kids and the accommodations worked great for all.
Very nice property with great accessibility to the lake, grill, fire pit, from the house.
Everyone had a great time and wants to return in 2024!
We have been doing this for 10 years and everyone liked Sunset Cove the best!
We had a family group of 6 adults and 6 grandkids. This was a perfect place. The house was great and so well stocked. The water is shallow for quite a ways and was perfect for the kids to play and swim in. There are kayaks and paddle boards and other water items that were used every day and so appreciated! The sunsets were amazing here. We loved our stay and Laura was extremely responsive to texts and emails. We’d stay again.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! The shallow swimming area is a wonderful perk of staying at Sunset Cove! We hope to host you again in the future!
Comfy beds, spacious rooms, and basement is great for hanging out after a long day of snowmobiling. FYI: Make sure you bring your permit to the dump. It's on the bulletin board. 😁
Overall, we had a great time at this location, we had 8 people and there was plenty of room for everyone, beds were comfortable, very quite, clean and stocked well. There are a lot of rules associated with the house, but none that are too crazy or not common sense, basically don't bother the neighbors, don't break the law and be mindful of other people's property. A few minor cons that did not impact our overall enjoyment. There is a very nice big screen TV and surround system on the main floor, but there is also 4 remotes in order to control everything, the DVD player periodically lost connect several times throughout watching a nightly movie. You have to take your trash to a local "dump" which is very close to the house, but they have very limited hours of operation, so with a Friday to Friday stay it is one more thing to do the morning you are leaving. The owners were very responsive if we had any questions, and alerted us to anything that may occur during our stay. Overall, everyone had a great time and I would recommend this locations to others!
