Two Ways to Do Wisconsin’s Northwoods Right: Cal’s Cottage on Arrowhead Lake + Cal’s on the Eagle River Chain. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2015!

If your kind of cabin time starts with water right out front and ends with a sunset you actually stop talking during, Cal’s Vacation Rentals is worth a serious look. Cal offers two Northwoods stays in the Eagle River and Woodruff areas—each one set up for real vacation living, not just sleeping between activities.

Cal’s Cottage in Woodruff, WI is a lakefront, two-level spot on Arrowhead Lake with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and room for 8. What makes Cabintimers light up here? The sandy, gently sloping swim area and a lineup of water fun that’s ready when you are—plus plenty of places to hang out outside, from screen porches to decks facing the water. Inside, you’ve got two full kitchens (one on each level), two family rooms, and those big windows that keep the lake in view even when you’re making pancakes.

Then there’s Cal’s on the Chain in Eagle River, WI, sitting on the famous Chain of 28 Lakes. This one is built for bigger crews: 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps 12, and it includes both a main cabin and a finished bunkhouse setup so your group can spread out and still stay together. The signature move here is the boathouse with a rooftop deck—grab your coffee up top, watch the water, and call it a perfect morning. And if your group loves being on the lake, the “all-in” approach is the headline: a deluxe pontoon and other watercraft are included, so you can spend your trip cruising, fishing, paddling, and swimming instead of hunting down rentals.

Around both cabins, you’re in prime territory for a classic Up North itinerary. Plan a day in Minocqua for shops, treats, and easy lake-town wandering. Head into Eagle River for dining, seasonal events, and on-the-water exploring. If you’re a trail crew, this part of the Northwoods is a big win for ATV/UTV rides, biking, and winter snowmobile runs, depending on the season. And if you want a slower pace, it’s simple: grill out, play yard games, sit by the fire, and watch the sky change color over the water.

Book Direct and Save

One more thing, Cabintimers: book direct whenever you can. When you reserve straight with the owner or local manager, you skip service fees, avoid the middleman, and get answers from someone who actually knows the area. That’s more money for bait, burgers, and one more round of ice cream in town.

Ready to pick your lake? Go check out Cal’s Vacation Rentals and book direct so you can lock in your dates and start planning the fun.

No-Wake Days on Bragonier Lake: Boats Included, Firepits Ready, Screens Off. Now Taking Direct Bookings On RentWisconsinCabins.com!

Some cabin trips are all about speedboats and big water. This one is for Cabintimers who want glassy mornings, easy paddles, and that “we forgot what day it is” feeling. Bragonier Lake Vacation Rentals on Lake Bragonier keeps it simple in the best way: a peaceful no-wake lake, your own private pier, and a lineup of included boats and water toys that makes it way too easy to spend the whole day outside.

You’ve got two options, depending on your crew (and how much space you want for board games, snack spreads, and post-lake naps):

If you’re bringing the whole gang, Shady Lane Lake Home is a private 3 bed / 2 bath place with the kind of “everyone’s happy” setup that matters on vacation. Inside, there’s room to stretch out with power recliners, a sunroom for cards, and a kitchen that’s stocked for real cooking (air fryer, griddle, waffle maker, coffee options, and more). Outside is where it really shines: a 4-person electric pontoon, a 14’ fishing boat with trolling motor, 3 kayaks, 2 SUPs, a canoe, a pedalboat, plus a private swim platform and multiple firepit spots for s’mores and stories.

Want a cozier lake base that still brings the fun? Maple Lane Lake Cabin is a 3 bed / 1 bath cabin with serene lake views, a private pier, and a strong “wake up, coffee, dock” rhythm. You’ll still have an electric pontoon option, a fishing boat with trolling motor, kayaks, SUPs, and a pedalboat, plus the classics like firewood-ready nights by the firepit. It’s the kind of place where you can swim, paddle, fish, and be back inside before the burgers are done.

Why Cabintimers love a no-wake lake

No-wake water feels different. It’s quieter. Safer for kids learning to paddle. Better for floating with a book. And it turns sunrise into a full-on event—mist over the lake, loons calling, and that first cast from the pier when the water looks like a mirror. With the boats included, you’re not hauling gear or trying to rent last minute. You just show up and hit the lake.

Things to do around Eagle River + St. Germain

When you’re ready to roam beyond the dock, you’re in a sweet spot between Eagle River and St. Germain, with classic Northwoods days in every direction. Eagle River is known for its lakes culture and easygoing downtown for strolling, snacks, and local stops. St. Germain is great when you want a change of scenery, casual dining, and a little shopping break between outdoor missions.

If your Cabintimer crew likes to stay active, the area is loaded with biking and hiking, plus seasonal trail access that makes it easy to plan a weekend around the outdoors. And if you’ve got kids (or grown-ups who still act like kids), there are family-friendly attractions nearby like mini golf and go-karts, plus indoor options for rainy afternoons.

Book direct and keep it local

Here’s the best part: you can book direct and skip the extra platform fees and the middleman. The site even says to call or text Roberta for direct pricing, which usually means faster answers and better local tips when you’re planning your dates. Head to nowakelake.com to check availability and reach out directly.

Cabintimers—if your perfect day is coffee on the pier, an easy paddle, a little fishing, and a firepit finale, this no-wake lake setup is calling your name.

Candlewood Vacations: Wisconsin Lake Days, Starry Nights, and Snowmobile Weekends (Book Direct). Now Taking Direct Bookings at RentWisconsinCabins.com.

If your kind of vacation starts with coffee on the porch and ends by a crackling fire, Candlewood Vacations belongs on your radar. Their homes across central and northern Wisconsin lean into the good stuff: private waterfront settings, fire pits for late-night stories, and reliable Wi-Fi (including Starlink at select homes) when you actually want to stay connected. Whether you’re planning a summer week of paddling or a winter run on the trails, Candlewood makes it easy to find a place that matches your pace.

What I like about Candlewood’s cabin lineup is how it fits real-life cabin trips. Some homes are made for the “everyone’s invited” crowd, with big kitchens, open living spaces, and room to spread out. Others are set up for slower mornings and simple days—launch a kayak, swim off the shoreline, grill dinner, and watch the sky turn pink over the water. You’ll see properties that call out the fun right in the name—think kayaking and swimming in warm months, then snowmobile access when the flakes fly.

Cabintimers who care about comfort (without losing that Northwoods feel) will notice the details: screened-in porches, family TV rooms, modern kitchens, and those “we’re staying up late” gathering spots—fire pits, patios, and living rooms built for board games and hot cocoa. And because Candlewood is locally managed in Wisconsin, you’re not guessing who to call if you need help, trail tips, or the best supper club nearby.

Now let’s talk trip planning—because Wisconsin is more fun when you show up with a short list of “must-dos.” If you’re near Eagle River, you’ve got classic Northwoods lake country energy: fishing, boat rentals, and easy access to the Eagle River Chain. Around Presque Isle, it’s quieter and woodsy with miles of trails for hiking, biking, and snowmobiling. Heading toward Suring / Chute Pond territory? That’s where you go for big water views, laid-back lake days, and a solid basecamp for exploring small-town taverns and local eateries after being outside all day.

Best part for Cabintimers: book direct through Candlewood Vacations. No service fees. No middleman. Just straightforward pricing, local help, and the kind of inside-info you only get from people who actually live and work in the area. Start with their listings, find the vibe you want—lakefront, river views, trail access, or “bring the whole crew”—and lock in your dates right on their site.

Why book direct.

Horizon Point Cottage: Sauna Nights, Sand-Toes Mornings, and Lake Superior Right Outside the Door. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2018!

Horizon Point Cottage: Sauna Nights, Sand-Toes Mornings, and Lake Superior Right Outside the Door. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2018!

Cabintimers, if you’ve been craving the kind of Lake Superior Cabin getaway where you can watch the sky change colors without ever leaving the deck, Horizon Point Cottage in Allouez is calling your name. The first thing people talk about here is the view. The second is the new sauna. Add a private sand beach and those wide-open Superior sunsets, and you’ve got a place that makes you slow down in the best way.

Horizon Point Cottage sits right on Lake Superior, and it feels like you’ve got front-row seats to the big lake’s daily show. Some evenings the water is calm and glassy. Other nights the waves roll in loud enough to be your bedtime soundtrack. You might spot freighters sliding by on the horizon. You’ll definitely catch stars on clear nights, and if the timing is right, northern lights can put on a surprise performance.

Inside, this is a comfortable lake home made for real cabin-life living. There are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, so everyone has room to spread out. The main level includes a king bed in the master, plus another bedroom with two twin beds. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds a third bedroom with a twin and a full bed, plus a new full bath and that sauna Cabintimers keep bragging about. It’s a pretty great routine after a windy beach walk or a day spent chasing waterfalls.

The great room is where the lake steals the spotlight. Big views, comfy seating, and a gas fireplace that makes chilly Superior nights feel extra cozy. Bring a stack of sweatshirts and you’ll be set. The kitchen is fully equipped for cabin cooking, and it’s the kind of setup that makes breakfast feel easy before you head out exploring. There’s also a full-length deck with patio furniture, a picnic table, and a gas grill, so dinner can happen outside while the sun drops into the lake.

One thing to know, and some Cabintimers absolutely love this: there’s no Wi-Fi here. Horizon Point Cottage is built for an actual unplugged vacation. You’ve still got plenty to do when the sun goes down. There’s a TV with DVD/VCR, a movie library for kids and grown-ups, plus puzzles and games for those “one more round” nights at the table. There’s also a landline and a weather radio, which is a smart touch on Superior.

Now let’s talk beach time, because this shoreline is a big part of what makes this place stick with you. You can walk the edge of the water, hunt for cool stones, skip rocks, and take a swim when the weather plays nice. Lake Superior keeps you honest, even in summer, so a quick dip can turn into a whole lot of laughing. If you’ve got kids along, this is the kind of place where they stay busy without being told to.

Allouez puts you right in the Copper Country, which means your day trips can be as laid-back or as adventure-packed as you want. Take one of the scenic drives locals never get tired of. Cruise stretches like M-26 and the back roads that wind through forest and shoreline. Stop whenever something catches your eye, because that’s how the Keweenaw works. Waterfalls are another must. Eagle River Falls, Jacob’s Falls, Montreal Falls, and Hungarian Falls are all classic UP stops, and each one feels like its own little reward.

If you’re the “history first, hike later” type, the Keweenaw delivers. Mine tours and museums tell the story of how this place was built, and it’s more interesting than most people expect. Cabintimers also like pairing a sightseeing day with a good meal. Eagle River is a favorite stop for dinner right near the water. Copper Harbor is the kind of town that makes you want to linger. Grab something sweet, browse a shop or two, then head back to the cottage in time for sunset.

And then there are the simple cabin moments that end up being the ones you remember most. Coffee on the deck while the lake is still waking up. A beach fire later in the day with everyone telling stories. Sauna time followed by stepping outside into that crisp Superior air. Falling asleep to waves. Waking up and doing it all again.

This is also the kind of place where booking direct just makes sense. When you book straight with the owner or local manager, you skip service fees, you skip the middleman, and you get real local insight. That means better answers, better recommendations, and a smoother stay. Cabintimers, that’s the whole point of doing cabin life the smart way.

Your Next Wisconsin Cabin Story Starts Here: Lakefront Stays, a Tiki Bar, and a Private Island with Local Lodging. Now Taking Direct Bookings Through RentWisconsinCabins.com!

Haven Island on Lake Winter/

Cabintimers, if your group chat has been tossing around “lake weekend?” for months, Local Lodging is the kind of find that makes everyone finally commit to dates. Two standouts jump off the page fast: a private island stay on Lake Winter (yes, your own island), and Lincolnwood Resort on Long Lake with a brand-new lakeside Tiki bar for sunset rounds and dockside hangs. That’s not marketing fluff. It’s the real vibe baked into their Wisconsin lineup.

Local Lodging isn’t a massive faceless booking brand. They’re a Wisconsin-based short-term rental property management company, built around clean, well-stocked places and the kind of hosting that feels like you’ve got a local friend on speed dial. They talk a lot about high-quality local experiences, and they mean it. Their hosts will even help you pick restaurants, lock in reservations, and point you toward the best local spots based on what you’re actually into.

Now let’s talk stay styles, because Local Lodging has range. If your crew wants classic “wake up to water” energy, their Book a Home collection leans hard into river and lake life across Wisconsin—think places like A Shore Thing on the Eau Claire River, Mermaid Bay Getaway on Lake Wissota, and Whispering Pines Cabin on Devils Lake. Several are waterfront, many are set up for outdoor time, and plenty come with the comfort features Cabintimers care about when the weather flips—fireplaces, big gathering spaces, and room for families or friends to spread out.

If your trip is more “resort weekend with built-in fun,” head straight to Lincolnwood Resort on Long Lake in Birchwood. It’s a mix of cabins and tiny homes, and the listings call out that new lakeside Tiki bar, which is such a Wisconsin summer move. I’m picturing a long day on the water, then strolling over for a laid-back drink while someone in your group insists they’re “definitely moving up north someday.”

And then there’s the one that makes people say, “Wait… really?” Haven Island on Lake Winter. This is the full send option for Cabintimers who want privacy, water views in every direction, and that rare feeling of being away from everything without giving up comfort. It’s set up for bigger groups, and the whole point is that it’s yours while you’re there. Perfect for multi-family trips, reunion weekends, and those “let’s do something big this year” plans.

What we like most about Local Lodging is how clearly they lean into the Wisconsin playbook. Summer is for boating, swimming, kayaking, and firepit nights. Fall is for river views and color drives. Winter turns the same towns into snow-day headquarters. You can base in Eau Claire area for easy food and fun between cabin time, or go deeper into the Northwoods where your biggest decision is whether to fish first or make coffee first.

Need some easy “what should we do nearby?” ideas while you plan? If you’re staying around Eau Claire, do a downtown stroll, grab coffee, and hunt down a supper club-style meal after a day on the river. Around Lake Wissota and Chippewa Falls, you’ll find classic lake hangs plus easy day-trip energy for breweries, shops, and quick bites. Up by Birchwood and Long Lake, you’re in prime “up north” territory—boating, fishing, and lazy dock mornings. Head toward Minong Flowage and you’re in quieter waters with big-sky sunsets. Staying near Devils Lake puts you close to one of Wisconsin’s most famous hiking and view payoffs, so pack real shoes and plan for post-hike burgers.

One more thing Cabintimers should know: Local Lodging makes it easy to book direct through their own booking sites (Book a Home / Book a Resort). That’s where you keep it simple—no middleman energy, no bouncing between messages, and a clearer line to the local team managing the place.

When you’re ready to lock in your dates, head to Local Lodging’s listings and explore their homes, cabins, and resort stays. Start with the private island if you want bragging rights, or pick a lakefront spot with a fireplace and make it a classic cabin weekend. Either way, go straight to the source and book direct.

It’s Cabin Time® has regional sites that make it easy to keep planning the next one with local owners and managers: Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Tennessee, New York, Montana, Kentucky, Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Alabama.

The French Rooster House on Upper Scott Lake: Screened-Porch Mornings, Dockside Sunsets, and a Fireplace for Cozy Nights. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2018!

If your Cabintimer crew loves lake views from almost every room and a place that makes it easy to live outside, The French Rooster House in Pullman, Michigan delivers right away. You’ve got a private dock on Upper Scott Lake for morning coffee and evening sunset hangs, plus a screened-in porch and big wraparound deck that practically beg for long meals, card games, and “one more hour” in the fresh air.

Inside, the vibe is bright, open, and welcoming. The great room pulls everyone together with comfy seating and a wood-burning fireplace—perfect after a day of exploring or when the lake breeze turns cool. The kitchen is fully stocked for real cooking (not just reheating), and the dining setup makes it easy to gather for pancakes, pasties, or a big pasta night. Sleeping is simple and flexible for families or couples: two queen bedrooms and one room with twin beds, with two full bathrooms so mornings don’t turn into a line.

Outside is where this place really shines. The deck faces the water with room for your crew, and there’s a grill ready for burgers, brats, and fresh-caught fish. Wander down through the landscaping to the shoreline and settle in by the outdoor firepit when the stars come out. Upper Scott Lake is a quieter inland lake, which is great for laid-back paddling and easy days on the water. And yes—there’s even a fishing boat with oars, plus the kind of lakefront that makes kids (and grownups) want to stay out until the last bit of daylight disappears.

When you’re ready to roam beyond the dock, you’re in a sweet spot for West Michigan exploring. Plan a beach day in South Haven for sandy shoreline time and classic Great Lakes energy. Add a sunset stroll, shops, and a treat stop downtown. If you’re craving trails, look for local paths and biking routes in the area, or make a day of it with nearby parks and outdoor spaces. Want local flavor? Work in a winery stop, a farm market run, or a seasonal festival—then come back to the lake for a calmer ending to the day.

One of the best parts: Cabintimers can book direct with the local property manager (no middleman, no extra service fees), and you can ask local questions before you even arrive—where to grab the best groceries, which beach is easiest with kids, and what’s happening around town while you’re here.

Book Direct

This home may have weekly-only requirements during the summer months, so it’s a great pick for Cabintimers planning a full-on lake week. If that’s your plan, go peek at the photos, check availability, and reach out through the listing page to book direct.

And if you’re the type of Cabintimer who likes options across the country, remember It’s Cabin Time® has cabins you can book direct across all 12 regional sites—Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Tennessee, New York, Montana, Kentucky, Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Alabama.

Log Cabin Retreat in Glen Haven, Wisconsin: themed cabin, river views, and your own 80 acres to roam. Now taking Direct Bookings through RentWisconsinCabins.com!

If your crew wants space to spread out and something fun waiting back at the cabin, Log Cabin Retreat delivers. Cabintimers get four themed, riverview log cabins on a private 80-acre property, with hiking trails right out the door and the Mississippi River putting on a show in the background. Add an optional hot tub and a big playground area for the kids, and you’ve got a spot that keeps everyone happy without piling into the car every hour.

What I love about this kind of place is how easy it is to settle into “cabin mode” fast. Morning coffee comes with fresh air and wide-open views. Midday turns into a trail walk on the property, a game at the playground, or a simple lunch back at the cabin. Then at night, you’re back outside for firepit time, or warming up by the woodstove after a cool-weather hike.

Quick-drive adventures that feel very “Southwest Wisconsin”

You’re parked in a sweet stretch of the Great River Road region, so day trips are easy and the scenery stays strong.

Head over to Nelson Dewey State Park near Cassville for bluff-top hiking and big Mississippi River overlooks. It’s the kind of park where you’ll want your camera ready and your steps careful near the edges. (Wisconsin DNR)

If you want a classic “we’re on vacation” moment, ride the Cassville Car Ferry across the Mississippi. It connects Wisconsin’s Great River Road with Iowa’s side of the river, and it’s a memorable little detour that feels old-school in the best way.

For history with a real sense of place, pair Stonefield Historic Site (near Nelson Dewey) with a trip to Prairie du Chien to tour Villa Louis, a restored Victorian estate site along the Upper Mississippi. (Wisconsin DNR)

And when it’s warm enough for river days, look toward the Grant River area for tubing and paddling outfitters—perfect for Cabintimers who want a half-day on the water and a laid-back evening back at the cabin. (Y’Allbee Tubin)
