If lake days are calling, Cabintimers will love Idle Hours Resort in St. Germain, Wisconsin. Two standout perks set this family‑run resort apart right away: a sandy, roped‑off swim area with a sun‑soaking swim raft, and a guest‑only pontoon fleet so you can cruise Little St. Germain Lake at your own pace. Add in free use of canoes, kayaks, and a paddleboat, and your vacation rhythm is basically set from sunrise to campfire.

Lakefront setting between Minocqua & Eagle River

Idle Hours sits on 500 feet of north‑shore frontage on Little St. Germain Lake, tucked into tall pines on 15 acres. St. Germain is that sweet Northwoods base between Minocqua and Eagle River, so day trips are easy. The lake spans nearly a thousand acres and breaks into several bays. That means you’ll usually find calm water for paddling, fishing, or an easy afternoon cruise.

Cabins for every crew

The resort’s 11 four‑season cabins range from 2 to 5 bedrooms, each with its own character. Bring the entire family, plan a multi‑family trip, or keep it simple for a classic up‑north escape. Because the cabins line the lakefront, mornings start with loons calling and coffee on the porch. Evenings end with stories by the fire and stars that actually pop.

What Cabintimers rave about

Idle Hours is built for simple outdoor fun. Little St. Germain is known for musky, walleye, bass, and panfish. There’s a fish‑cleaning house on site when the bite is hot. Kids dart between the big playground, sand volleyball, and the basketball hoop. Pontoons are available to rent exclusively for resort guests. If you’re bringing your own boat, the public launch is just a few miles away—bring bumpers and mooring ropes.

Want quiet time? Slip a kayak onto Muskellunge Creek for a peaceful paddle. Prefer splash time? The gradual, sandy swim area has no steep drop‑offs, so everyone can cool off with confidence.

Four seasons of Northwoods

Summer brings swimsuits, skis, and sunset cruises. Fall colors here are unreal—bring the camera and hike or bike local trails. Winter is full‑on snowmobile country; St. Germain grooms a huge trail network and the resort shares trail updates often. Spring delivers that calm, uncrowded vibe—and the best fishing of the year.

St. Germain things to do

Start with the Monday Flea Market in town (Memorial Day–Labor Day). Catch seasonal events like the Classic Car Roundup, Colorama in the fall, and winter radar runs. Hungry? There are 20+ restaurants and taverns in and around St. Germain, with even more dining and shopping in Minocqua and Eagle River. Day‑trip ideas include wildlife parks, cranberry marsh tours, waterfalls, and even a big‑view run up to Lake Superior if you want a longer drive.

Planning tips

Idle Hours is a no‑pets resort. Bedding is provided; bring towels or rent sets at the office. Pontoons rent to resort guests only. If you’re eyeing prime dates, book early—these classic cabins fill fast in every season.

Why book direct

Cabintimers know: booking direct means no service fees, better communication, and local advice from the folks who actually manage the cabins. You’ll get the straight scoop on the best bays for morning paddles, where the fish are moving, and which weekend events are worth your time.
