Welcome to your ideal Northwoods getaway — a freshly updated lakefront cabin on the shores of Catfish Lake, part of the world’s largest chain of lakes in Eagle River, WI. With flat, sandy frontage, direct lake access, and stunning lake views, this cozy and comfortable retreat is an ideal escape for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Spend sunny days swimming, paddling, grilling, and playing yard games, or simply relax and take in the peaceful setting.

During the warmer months, the cottage offers a variety of activities for guests to enjoy. With a private dock and easy lake access, you can swim or take advantage of the kayak and paddle boat available for guest use. The shared patio offers comfortable seating and beautiful lake views, making it a perfect spot for morning coffee or sunset dinners. There’s also a shared fire pit and a grassy lawn for additional relaxation or play. For those who enjoy outdoor cooking, a gas grill is provided.

Inside the cabin, you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook and dine in comfort. The living area is cozy and inviting, with windows that overlooks the lake, allowing natural light to fill the space. There’s a dining table that is perfect for board games and indoor activities, ensuring a fun experience for everyone.

While the cabin is perfect for spring, summer, and fall, it is just as inviting during the cooler months. The nearby Nicolet National Forest offers beautiful hiking opportunities year-round, along with vibrant fall colors and peaceful winter scenery. Snowmobile and ATV trails are easily accessible, and ice fishing is a popular activity on Catfish Lake once it freezes over. After a crisp day outdoors, you can cozy up inside and enjoy the quiet, natural beauty of the Northwoods in any season.

Located just minutes from downtown Eagle River, this cottage is close to restaurants, shops, and coffee spots. You’ll also find local breweries, ice cream stands, and seasonal festivals, including farmers markets and live music. Boat rentals and supplies are available at the nearby marina, ensuring you have everything you need to make the most of your time on the water.

Nice but beware

This place seemed to be a perfect fit for what we were looking for. We were in the area to do some ice fishing and needed a simple rental to lay our heads and a shower. The pictures looked great. Dealing with Vacasa was a little bit of a challenge. I asked for an early check-in and was told that the housekeeper would text me when it was ready. The unit wasn’t rented the night before. I never did received that text but we went straight to fishing instead. When we did get to our rental, we went to the unit in the picture of this listing. After a call to Vacasa to say that the code didn’t work, we came to find out that it was the unit next door. So the picture of this listing is incorrectly the unit A. The inside of the unit was very clean and welcoming. Again, we looking for nothing more than a couple beds, bathroom, and a shower. My minuscule complaints would be Vacasa for poor communication and false advertising. The unit’s floors were pitched to the side making it dizzying. Finally, the shower sprayer holder was broken and wouldn’t stay up. Other than that, cute unit, would stay again.

Very nice and cozy cottage on a beautiful musky lake.

Very close to everything you need. The fishing spot we love was just across the lake. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

Nice place, great location!

This is a nice location, right on the water with a dock and a great view. It is a smaller cabin that will sleep 4 but no more than that comfortably. The kitchen is a little tight for food prep and storage but overall it was nice.

We would come back

This is a cottage/cabin with old bones, but has been well maintained. The cleaners did a great job. We were comfortable on our fishing trip.
