Cabintimers, set your sights on lake country. StepAway Vacation Rentals anchors your Northwoods escape in St. Germain—right where fishing stories begin, bikes roll past pines, and winter trails hum with sleds. Their year‑round cabins and vacation homes put you close to the water, the trailheads, and the kind of small‑town stops that turn a weekend into a tradition.

Why StepAway works for Cabintimers
StepAway Vacation Rentals offers a range of pet‑friendly and family‑ready homes with the comfort perks Cabintimers crave—full kitchens, outdoor spaces, easy parking for trailers, and access to lakes and trails. Pick a classic cabin on a quiet shore, a multi‑bedroom home for a crew, or a hideout with a sauna or hot tub. You’re not just getting a place to sleep; you’re getting Northwoods access—dock time at sunrise, s’mores under a big sky, and first tracks on the trail.
Book direct for the win. You’ll skip service fees, talk with local managers who know the waters and woods, and get straight answers on boat rentals, snowmobile access, and the best fish fry in town. No middleman, no mystery.

Where you’ll be playing
St. Germain & Sayner
- Heart of Vilas County Bike Trail System: More than 50 miles of smooth, paved trail connect St. Germain, Sayner, Boulder Junction, and beyond. Morning pedal with loons calling? Yes, please.
- Awassa Nature Preserve: A mellow network of forest paths right in St. Germain—great for a first‑day leg stretch with kids.
- Snowmobile Hall of Fame & Museum: Racing sleds, vintage iron, and Northwoods stories. It’s a must‑stop on a cold day.
- Bo‑Boen Snowmobile Trails: When the flakes stack up, this club’s groomed routes are legendary. Trailers fit easily at many StepAway homes.
Eagle River
- The World’s Largest Chain of Freshwater Lakes: Launch for walleye at dawn or cruise past islands on a slow afternoon.
- Shops & snacks: Warm up between runs with coffee, bakery stops, or a classic supper club.
Minocqua & Woodruff
- Northern Highland–American Legion State Forest: Hundreds of lakes and miles of trail for paddling, birding, and snowshoeing.
- Min‑Aqua Bats Water Ski Show (summer): Free shows that turn Lake Minocqua into a stage—bring a lawn chair and cheer.
Seasonal trip ideas
Spring: Chase panfish in warming bays, bike the Heart of Vilas with maples budding, and sit by the fire when the temps dip after sunset.
Summer: Dock a pontoon at lunch, watch eagles hunt the shoreline, and end the day with sunsets that linger forever. Families love sandy shallows for splash time.
Fall: Color tours by bike or ATV/UTV, pumpkin‑patch detours, and evenings that pair chili with a star‑packed sky.
Winter: Sledding on the Bo‑Boen system, cross‑country loops in the state forest, and hot‑mug mornings before first tracks. Ice anglers, bring the shack and swap stories at dusk.

Smart planning tips from local managers
- Trail access matters: Ask which cabins connect fastest to sled or ATV routes.
- Boat & toy logistics: Many driveways handle trailers. Confirm dock dimensions and water depth for your rig.
- Bring the crew: Multi‑bedroom homes with second living spaces keep early birds and night owls happy.
- Pets welcome: Several rentals allow well‑behaved dogs—get the rules and nearby dog‑friendly beaches.
Cabintimer itinerary blueprint (weekend version)
Friday: Arrive, quick grocery run, sunset dock time. Sheet‑pan nachos, then board games.
Saturday: Morning pedal on the Heart of Vilas. Lunch in town. Afternoon paddle or swim. Golden‑hour photos on the pier, then a cabin fish fry.
Sunday: Coffee on the deck, a museum stop or short hike, and one last cast before checkout. Everyone leaves a little lake‑soaked and grinning.
