Franklin Lake Cabin in Three Lakes, Wisconsin delivers the classic cabin experience Cabintimers crave—quiet mornings on the pier, easy lake access, and miles of Nicolet National Forest to roam.

Private dock.

Why Cabintimers love this cabin

This two-bedroom, one-bath vacation home sits just about 30 steps from Franklin Lake. It’s sized right for a family or two couples—one bedroom has a king bed, the second offers two twins, and the living room adds a queen sleeper. Central A/C and a gas furnace keep temps just right year-round, while a wood-burning fireplace sets the tone for board games and movie nights.

The spacious lakeside deck is your outdoor living room, outfitted with both gas and charcoal grills plus seating for lingering over dinner. Down by the private pier, tie off your own boat or slip out in the included rowboats, canoe, or fishing kayak. Life jackets are on hand, and there’s a fish-cleaning setup waiting for your walleye, smallmouth, northern pike, or panfish. Inside, the full kitchen is stocked with the essentials (yes, bring K‑cups), and there’s a washer/dryer to simplify longer stays. Note: bring your own bed and bath linens and paper products.

No pets means a tidy, dander-free stay. There’s a landline for peace of mind and antenna TV with a video library for rainy days. Most Cabintimers spend evenings around the shoreline fire ring watching the sky fade while loons call across the water.

On-the-water days

Franklin Lake is known for clear water and an easy-to-enjoy shoreline. Families love paddling to the nearby island for a picnic and a little exploring. A mile from the cabin you’ll find a sandy beach, a public boat landing, and the historic Franklin Lake Recreation Area. The west bay is a favorite for anglers, while the lake’s laid-back vibe makes it a relaxing change of pace from busier chains.

Four seasons of Northwoods fun

Summer brings swimming, paddling, and sunset cruises. Autumn paints the forest in blazing color—perfect for hikers and photographers. When the snow flies, this corner of the Northwoods is a playground for cross-country skiers, snowmobilers, and ice anglers. Trails thread the area in every direction, so you can ride or glide right into winter solitude.

Nearby adventures in Three Lakes & Eagle River

  • Trail time is serious business here. The Three Lakes–Brule River trail network links up hundreds of miles for snowmobiling and silent-sport exploring through the Nicolet National Forest.
  • Family day in Eagle River. Head 20 minutes north for shopping and eats, or spark young imaginations at the Northwoods Children’s Museum. When the sun’s out, take a scenic drive past the famous Eagle River–Three Lakes Chain of Lakes.
  • More water to try. Butternut Lake and other nearby waters offer a fresh change of scenery and species.

Good-to-know details

High season typically books by the week, Saturday to Saturday. Shoulder seasons can be more flexible for partial-week stays—just ask. The cabin is set up for easy living, but remember to pack linens and towels. Got a boat? Dock it at the private pier. Prefer to travel light? Use the canoe, rowboats, or fishing kayak on site.
