Pitlik’s Sand Beach Resort: Classic Northwoods Cabin Life on the Sugar Camp Chain. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2022!

If your radar is pinging for a true Up North cabin experience, set your sights on Pitlik’s Sand Beach Resort in Eagle River, Wisconsin. Since 1928, this family-run resort has welcomed generations to its shoreline on Sand Lake—part of the five-lake Sugar Camp Chain. Cabins are spread along a gentle slope with tall pines, sandy swim areas, boat docks, and that easygoing Northwoods pace that nudges you outside before breakfast and brings you back to a crackling fire after dark.

Cabins for couples, families, and the whole crew

Pitlik’s offers a mix of classic log cabins and larger rentals. Expect full kitchens, lakeside porches, cozy gathering spaces, and that satisfying “pair of boots by the door” simplicity. Some layouts cater to couples seeking quiet mornings on the pier; others are perfect for multi-family trips with bunkrooms, big tables for card games, and space to spread out. Pets are welcome in select cabins, and many rentals sit steps from the sand—so the coffee-to-kayak commute is about thirty seconds.

Quick Cabin Guide: Snappy blurbs for every stay

You & I – Cozy 1BR just steps from Sand Lake with a front-row sunrise view; couples love the quiet porch time and easy walk to the water.

Clearview – Modern 2BR close to shore with a queen room, twin room, and a bright lake outlook for morning coffee duty.

Oakcrest – A 2BR classic with tub/shower and an easy lakeside vantage—simple, comfortable, and close to the action.

Lagoon – Breezy 2BR near the beach with queen + twins and a tub/shower—quick launch for swims, paddles, and dock hangs.

Knotty Pine – One of the originals: roomy 3BR log cabin with wood-burning stove and screened porch—great for card nights after sunset cruises.

Outlet – 3BR peninsula perch where water wraps three sides; windows frame the shoreline and the vibe is all “waves for soundtrack.”

Bayview North – Full-log 2BR+loft with wood stove and fieldstone chimney; big deck connects to Bayview South for group getaways.

Bayview South – Twin to North: queen main floor, three twins in the loft, 1.5 baths, and a hilltop panorama over the Sand Lake thoroughfare.

Lakeview – 3BR full-log showpiece with spiral stair to the loft, two baths, and sliding doors to a patio aimed right at the lake.

Eagle’s Nest – 3BR full-log with loft sleeping, roll-in shower on main, and patio access—easy flow between lakeside lounging and fireside chats.

Chalet – 3BR lofted log cabin with stone chimney, spiral stair, and patio—room for eight and space to stash rods, boards, and boots.

Lookout – 3BR with that classic log-home warmth—wood stove, two baths, and a layout made for big breakfasts and bigger lake days.

Moonshine (upstairs lodge unit) – 2BR above the main lodge with open kitchen/living, laundry, and lake views; expect some downstairs buzz during restaurant hours.

Premier Lakehomes (non-resort, separate terms)
Chain Lake Hideaway – 2BR waterfront (plus sleeper) 1.5 miles from the lodge; gas fireplace, laundry, patio, private dock—pets considered.

Dam Lake Villa – 3BR lakefront (sleeps up to 9) 1.6 miles from the lodge; 3-season villa with built-in grill/bar, fireplace, laundry—pets considered.

Sand Lake Lakehouse – 4BR on Sand Lake with two levels of sleeping space, gas fireplace, modern kitchen, washer/dryer, southern-exposure deck—pets considered.

Eat & drink at the Lodge (and don’t miss Friday Fish Fry)

A huge part of the Pitlik’s experience happens at the main lodge. Stop in for hearty plates, Wisconsin tap favorites, and the resort’s famous Ultimate Bloody Mary. It’s social, it’s lively, and it’s always a short walk back to your cabin. When the fish fry bell rings on Friday, locals and resort guests make a beeline—arrive hungry.

Life on the Sugar Camp Chain

Five connected lakes—Sand, Dam, Chain, Stone, and Echo—mean endless routes for pontoon cruising, paddling, and fishing. Anglers chase panfish, bass, walleye, and yes, musky. The sandy swim area is friendly for kids, and calm morning water is tailor-made for paddleboards. Bring or rent a boat and spend the day lake-hopping, then drift back to your pier as loons call across the bay.

Four seasons of play

Summer is for swims, s’mores, and sunny boat days. Fall turns the shoreline into a fiery color show with cool nights perfect for the fireplace. Winter flips the script: Eagle River is a snowmobile capital with state trails linking right from the resort, plus cross-country skiing, ice fishing, sledding, and nearby downhill options. Spring? Quiet woods, migrating birds, and glassy, crowd-free water.

Nearby things to do in Eagle River & St. Germain

You’re a short drive from mini-golf, go-karts, horseback riding, local events, and trail systems. Golfers can pick from several public courses. Rain in the forecast? Pop into town for a museum stop, a bakery run, or a browse through outfitter shops. Winter visitors should mark the World Championship Snowmobile Derby on the calendar—part spectacle, part tradition.

Why Cabintimers book direct at Pitlik’s

Cabintimers know: booking direct with the resort is the smart move. You skip third-party service fees, get accurate availability, and talk with people who actually know which pier gets morning sun and which cabin has the roomiest table for your board-game tournament. You’ll also hear about shoulder-season savings, holiday openings, and boat rental details straight from the source.

Trip-planning tips

  • Bring layers. Even in July, evenings by the lake feel cooler than town.
  • Pack a lightweight tackle kit and a pair of camp shoes that can get wet.
  • Plan a shore lunch. Fresh fish, lemon, butter, a cast-iron pan—done.
  • Schedule at least one “stay put” day. No driving, just dock time, paddling, lodge snacks, repeat.

Ready to become part of the tradition? Explore accommodations, check dates, and contact Pitlik’s Sand Beach Resort directly to book like a Cabintimer—no middleman, no extra fees, all the local intel.

Holiday Harbor Cabin: Private Lynx Lake Escape with Your Own Launch, Dock, and Backup Power. Now Taking Direct Bookings on RentWisconsinCabins.com!

If you’re looking for a true Northwoods stay where mornings begin with glassy water and loons, meet Holiday Harbor Cabin in Eagle River, Wisconsin. This two-room, two‑bath cabin sits a few steps from the shoreline on Lynx Lake—at the northern tip of the famous Eagle River Chain. Cabintimers get rare perks here: a private boat launch and dock just outside the door, sandy, gradual frontage that’s perfect for swimming, pet‑friendly stays, and a whole‑home backup generator so your vacation doesn’t skip a beat if the power flickers.

Why Cabintimers love this cabin

  • You get the place to yourself. There’s only one rental on the property—no shared fire pit, grill, or shoreline. Spread out, unplug, and let the lake set your schedule.
  • Bring the boat—or rent one. Launch your fishing boat or pontoon on‑site, tie up at your private, powered dock, or have a rental delivered right to the pier. No crowded public ramps, no scrambling for slips.
  • Sandy swim area. The shoreline steps down just an inch or two to clear, shallow water with a gentle slope—great for kids and lazy floats.
  • Stay connected when others can’t. The backup generator keeps water hot, lights on, internet streaming (HBO, Showtime, Starz, more), A/C humming, and the coffee brewing.
  • Easy sleeping for couples or small families. A queen Murphy bed with a Serta Perfect Sleeper, a queen sleeper sofa, plus a twin daybed with trundle.
  • Dog‑friendly. Well‑behaved pups are welcome—call for details.
  • Complimentary rowboat with oars and life vests so you can sneak out for sunrise casts or sunset paddles.
  • Full kitchen & outdoor cooking. Gas range/oven, microwave, coffee maker, cookware, plus a gas grill, picnic table, and lakeside seating.

Where you’re staying

Holiday Harbor sits on Lynx Lake, part of the storied Eagle River Chain, a gateway to endless water. Step onto your dock and you’re minutes from classic Northwoods scenes: mornings dripping with mist, eagles tracing the treeline, and the soft hush of pines. Musky, walleye, bass, and panfish lure anglers out early; paddlers hug the shoreline to watch turtles slide from logs; swimmers post up by that sandy edge and call it a day.

What to do nearby (besides floating all afternoon)

  • Fish & boat the Chain. Explore link‑by‑link, stop for lunch by boat, or drift a weedline. Guides in Eagle River can help you target trophy muskies or introduce new anglers to the fun.
  • World Championship Derby Complex. In winter, Eagle River roars to life during the historic snowmobile races. Tour the grounds, visit during race weekends, and hop on meticulously groomed trail systems that spiderweb across Vilas County.
  • Three Eagle Trail. Bike or hike this scenic route connecting Eagle River and Three Lakes through forests and wetlands—blazing colors in fall.
  • Nicolet National Forest. Trail‑rich public land east of town for hiking, birding, snowshoeing, and quiet exploration.
  • Downtown Eagle River. Scoop old‑fashioned candy, browse outfitters, and fuel up at supper clubs that feel like time capsules.
  • Cranberry season. Come fall, tour local marshes, grab cranberry goodies, and chase peak color around the lakes.

Practical info Cabintimers always ask

  • Weekly stays, Saturday changeover.
  • Fast Wi‑Fi (wired + wireless) and free streaming channels (plus a Roku).
  • Two bathrooms, each with a shower—no waiting in line after a swim.
  • Fire pit for lakeside s’mores (bring wood from within 25 miles).
  • Parking for your trailer and easy in‑and‑out at the private launch.

Book direct and keep it local

Skip the big‑box booking fees and talk to the folks who know the shoreline best. When you book directly with the owner, you avoid service fees, get the most accurate availability, and tap into local knowledge—from “where they’re biting” to “which supper club has the best Friday fish fry.”

Ready to plan your week on Lynx? Reach out, ask your questions, and lock in your dates before prime weekends disappear.

Franklin Lake Cabin: Clear Water, Trail Miles & Campfire Nights in Three Lakes, WI. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2013!

Looking for a Northwoods base where the water is glassy at sunrise and the pines whisper right out the back door? 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

Make time to explore the local scene:

  • Three Lakes Winery pours award-winning fruit wines and offers tastings in town—perfect for a rainy afternoon or a post-hike reward.
  • 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.

Book direct & save

Skip third‑party markups. When you book Franklin Lake Cabin directly with the owner through It’s Cabin Time®, you avoid service fees and connect with a local who knows the lake and the forest by heart. Cabintimers get better value and better advice—every time.

Where to stay (and play)

Eagle River This is legendary lake country. The 28‑lake chain delivers miles of cruising, sandbars for swimming, and year‑round fishing. Wander Main Street for ice cream and sweet shops. Fall brings cranberry season and festive events. Winter turns the area into a playground with cross‑country trails and a storied snowmobile scene.

St. Germain Pick your pace here. Pedal the Heart of Vilas County Bike & Hike Trail for smooth miles through tall pines and lakes. In winter, visit the Snowmobile Hall of Fame and ride a well‑marked network that links to hundreds of miles of trails. St. Germain also has family‑friendly beaches and easy lake access—perfect for a first paddleboard session or a lazy pontoon afternoon.

Minocqua Minocqua is known for serious time on the water. Spend your days boating, skiing, paddling, and casting. When snow flies, Minocqua Winter Park delivers groomed trails for cross‑country skiing, fat biking, snowshoeing, and a tubing hill on select days. It’s a solid home base for winter fans and summer lake‑hoppers alike.

Three Lakes On the south end of the world‑famous chain, Three Lakes serves up a quieter vibe with endless coves to explore. Pack a picnic and cruise between lakes. Hike or ride into the nearby national forest. Even on a busy weekend, you can find a calm stretch of shoreline.

Resort lodging with a Northwoods feel

Prefer a classic resort setting with cabins close together and easy on‑site amenities? Hiller also offers resort stays through Birchwood Resort, Elbert’s Resort on Little St. Germain Lake, Hiller’s Pine Haven, Woodhill Resort on the Minocqua Chain, and Wilderness Bay Lodge & Resort on the Cisco Chain just over the border in Michigan’s U.P. You still book direct with local pros, and you still get that authentic up‑north experience.

Trip‑planning tips for Cabintimers

Summer brings warm water, long days, and nightly campfires. Book early if you want a specific lake or a pontoon rental for a holiday week.

Fall means crisp mornings, glass‑calm paddles, and a blaze of color on the shoreline. It’s a favorite time for anglers and hikers.

Winter is king in the Northwoods. Bring the sleds, wax the skis, and pair your cabin with a hot cocoa trail stop and a night around the fireplace.

Spring is quiet, budget‑friendly, and packed with wildlife sightings. Great for remote work weeks and long weekends.

How to book (and save)

Go straight to the source. Book directly with Hiller Vacation Homes to avoid traveler fees, get transparent rates, and tap into local knowledge. Ask about pet‑friendly stays, trailer parking for snowmobiles, and pairing a cabin with a pontoon or fishing boat.

Lakefront Rental Wisconsin – Why Booking Direct Makes All the Difference
by

Lakefront Rental Wisconsin – Why Booking Direct Makes All the Difference

Over 500 Lakefront cabin rentals!

There’s something special about a lakefront rental in Wisconsin. Mornings start with calm waters reflecting the sunrise, and evenings wrap up with golden sunsets over the lake. Whether you’re planning a fishing trip, a family vacation, or a quiet escape with your favorite book, the perfect cabin or cottage is waiting for you. But here’s the thing—how you book your stay can make just as big of a difference as where you stay.

At RentWisconsinCabins.com, you can explore hundreds of verified lakefront rentals across Wisconsin without worrying about extra booking site fees. Instead of scrolling through third-party travel sites, you get to connect directly with local cabin owners and property managers. This direct connection means better rates, personalized advice, and insider tips on the best spots around the lake.

Why Wisconsin Lakefront Rentals Are So Popular

Wisconsin is home to thousands of lakes, from the vast and well-known Lake Winnebago to the quiet, hidden gems in the Northwoods. Each lake offers a different kind of adventure—clear waters for swimming, sandy shores for kids to play, and excellent fishing for walleye, bass, and musky.

Lakefront rentals here offer front-row seats to all of it. Imagine waking up and stepping right outside to your private dock or enjoying coffee on the deck with nothing but the sound of loons calling across the water. These cabins and cottages are more than just places to stay—they are part of the experience.

Lakefront Rental Wisconsin: Top Activities

A Wisconsin lakefront rental is a launchpad for endless outdoor fun:

  • Fishing: Cast right from the dock or rent a boat for a full day of chasing trophy fish.
  • Kayaking and Paddleboarding: Explore hidden coves and enjoy the lake at your own pace.
  • Swimming: Many lakefront properties offer sandy-bottom shorelines that are perfect for family swimming.
  • Bonfires and Stargazing: Evenings on the lake are made for roasting marshmallows and watching the sky light up with stars.
  • Winter Fun: Don’t forget about winter. Ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing make lakefront rentals in Wisconsin a four-season destination.

Book Direct, Save Money, Get More

When you search Lakefront Rental Wisconsin on Google, you’ll see big travel sites dominating the results—but here’s what they won’t tell you: their service fees can add hundreds of dollars to your stay. Booking directly through RentWisconsinCabins.com eliminates these unnecessary fees.

Plus, when you communicate directly with the cabin owner or property manager, you get insider knowledge—like which bait works best on that lake or where to find the best local fish fry on Friday night. These personal touches simply don’t exist when you book through a third-party platform.

Where to Start Your Search

Whether you’re looking for a rustic log cabin on the shore of a quiet fishing lake or a modern home with a private beach, you’ll find it on RentWisconsinCabins.com. Use our easy search filters to find properties by lake, town, or amenities. Each listing connects you directly with the owner or local manager—no middleman, no fees.

Welcome to Cedaroma Resort in St. Germain, Wisconsin – a cozy haven of 10 cabin rentals on the shores of Little Saint Germain Lake. We’re excited to share that all ten of Cedaroma’s cabins are now listed on RentWisconsinCabins.com, one of 12 regional It’s Cabin Time® websites connecting travelers directly with vacation rentals.

And when you book direct with Cedaroma’s hosts Kris and Kim, you’ll enjoy personal service and local insights with no added fees or middleman charges – ever. (At Cedaroma, the price you see is the price you pay!)

Book Direct with Cedaroma – No Fees, All Hospitality

One of the biggest perks of Cedaroma Resort listing its cabins on RentWisconsinCabins.com is the direct booking advantage. Instead of dealing with third-party platforms, your inquiry goes straight to Kris and Kim at Cedaroma. Here’s why booking direct makes your St. Germain cabin getaway even better:

  • No Service Fees: Unlike large travel sites, there are no extra booking fees – you pay exactly what the owner charges, with no hidden add-ons. That means more money in your pocket for vacation fun.
  • No Middleman: You’ll communicate one-on-one with Cedaroma’s owners, ensuring a quick, smooth reservation process. Have a special request or question? You’ll get fast answers directly from the people who know the property best.
  • Local Expertise: Kris and Kim are long-time local hosts who love sharing their knowledge. They can recommend the best fishing spots, scenic trails, supper clubs, and hidden gems around St. Germain. This insider info can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one.

“Kris was very accommodating and the cabin was very clean and nice. Plenty of parking for our large snowmobile trailers…” praised one guest, highlighting the friendly service and convenience Cedaroma provides. Booking direct means you’re treated like family from the start.

Cozy Cabins with Modern Comforts

Cedaroma’s ten cabins range from a cozy one-bedroom cabin perfect for couples to spacious vacation homes like the FarmHouse and Main LodgeHouse for larger groups. No matter which cabin you choose, you’ll enjoy a blend of classic Northwoods ambiance and modern amenities. Each cabin comes with a fully equipped kitchen (yes, full-size appliances and all the cookware you need) and a comfortable living area to relax after your adventures. Many cabins even feature air conditioning and dishwashers for those summer stays and easy clean-up. Several have gas fireplaces or wood stoves to keep things cozy on cool evenings. And with Cedaroma’s lakefront location, your rental isn’t far from the water’s edge – some cabins have direct lake views and are just steps from the beach and docks for easy lake access.

Guests often remark on the thoughtful touches and cleanliness of the cabins. One reviewer wrote, “A feast for the soul. That’s how I would describe my experience at Cedaroma Lodge. Beautiful surroundings, cozy, very clean, well-appointed cabins.” Cedaroma has preserved its time-honored charm while adding fresh updates and comforts vacationers appreciate, from strong Wi-Fi to fresh linens and comfortable beds. It’s the kind of place where you can unplug by the fire or watch a movie on the flat-screen – you decide your pace.

Pet-Friendly, Year-Round Northwoods Retreat

It’s not easy finding a truly pet-friendly resort in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, but Cedaroma is proud to welcome your four-legged family members (the resort even has an “official mascot,” Sparky the Blue Heeler pup, ready to greet guests with a wagging tail!). As one of the few pet-friendly resorts in the area, Cedaroma ensures that everyone – including Fido – feels right at home. The atmosphere is warm and family-friendly, making it ideal for reunions, friend groups, and couples alike.

Cedaroma Resort operates year-round, so you can enjoy the beauty of St. Germain in any season. Summer brings swimming and boating on the lake, while winter transforms the property into a snowy wonderland. The cabins are all-season, heated for winter coziness (some with that toasty fireplace) and cooled in the summer (thanks to that A/C). No matter when you visit, the Little Saint Germain Lake views and fresh pine-scented air create that up-north state of mind.

Fun on the Water: Summer at Cedaroma

Summer at Cedaroma Resort is all about lake fun and outdoor adventure. Little Saint Germain Lake spans over 900 acres, offering plenty of space for boating and fishing. Cedaroma makes it easy to enjoy the water with pontoon boat rentals available on sitet. Gather your group, pack a cooler, and cruise the lake for an afternoon of fishing or sunset sightseeing. Prefer a quieter paddle? Guests get to use canoes, kayaks, paddle boats, and stand-up paddleboards for free with their stay – an incredible perk that lets you explore the lake at your leisure. From casting a line for musky or walleye at dawn to an afternoon paddle along the shore, there’s no shortage of ways to soak up the sun on Little St. Germain.

For those who like to stay active on land, Cedaroma sits right next to the Heart of Vilas County Bike Trail (St. Germain trailhead). In fact, the resort is adjacent to a paved trail system connecting nearly 40 miles of scenic pathways. Bring your bike (or borrow one of Cedaroma’s cruiser bikes) and pedal through forests and wetlands on this renowned trail. The Heart of Vilas trail is great for all ages – an easy ride into St. Germain’s town center or a longer trek to neighboring communities. Hiking and ATV/UTV trails are also nearby for more outdoor exploration.

And of course, nothing beats a classic Northwoods summer evening at the resort: grilling out on your cabin’s deck (each comes with a BBQ grill), swapping stories around the campfire, and watching the stars twinkle over the lake. Cedaroma truly lets you savor “fun where it’s in our nature,” from swimming and fishing to just relaxing by the shore.

Winter Wonderland: Snowmobiling, Snowshoeing & More

When winter arrives in St. Germain, Cedaroma Resort embraces the season. The cabins stay open year-round, providing a cozy basecamp for winter sports. St. Germain is famous for its extensive snowmobile trail network, and Cedaroma is ideally situated to hop right on the trails – there’s direct access from the resort, with ample parking for your snowmobile trailers as one guest noted. Vilas County grooms hundreds of miles of snowmobile routes, and from Cedaroma you can ride for hours through snowy forests and across frozen lakes. The town is a true snowmobiler’s paradise (after all, nearby Eagle River is known as the Snowmobile Capital of the World, and St. Germain hosts part of that same trail system).

A must-visit for any sledding enthusiast is the Snowmobile Hall of Fame & Museum in St. Germain, which showcases over 100 vintage and championship snowmobiles, plus memorabilia that tells the story of this exciting sport. It’s a great stop to immerse yourself in Northwoods snowmobiling culture and see some classic machines up close.

If you prefer a quieter pace in winter, strap on some snowshoes or cross-country skis and hit the nearby trails. The woods around Cedaroma are serene under a blanket of snow – you might spot deer or fresh tracks of wildlife on a peaceful trek. Little St. Germain Lake offers ice fishing opportunities as well, for those eager to drop a line through the ice. And when you return to your cabin, you can warm up by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa. Winter vacations here are just as magical as summer ones.

St. Germain Activities for Every Cabintimer

Beyond the resort, the St. Germain area is packed with activities and attractions that Cabintimers (our cabin-loving travelers) will love. Here are a few highlights to add to your itinerary:

  • Heart of Vilas County Bike Trail: A scenic multi-use trail stretching roughly 40 miles through St. Germain and surrounding communities. Perfect for biking in summer or fat-tire biking in winter, this trail winds past lakes, forests, and wetlands. You can hop on the trail right near Cedaroma Resort and enjoy the Northwoods scenery on two wheels.
  • Elmer’s Fun Park: Looking for family fun? Elmer’s Fun Park in St. Germain offers go-kart tracks, wet-and-wild bumper boats, guided horseback trail rides, a bounce house for little ones, mini-golf, and even an ice cream shop with 32 flavors. It’s a great place to spend an afternoon with kids (or unleash your inner kid!).
  • Classic Supper Clubs: No trip to the Northwoods is complete without dining at a local supper club. St. Germain has several nearby, like the historic Clearview Supper Club on Big St. Germain Lake or Pub N’ Prime on Hwy 70. You can enjoy a Friday night fish fry, a juicy prime rib, and a Wisconsin-style brandy old fashioned in these nostalgic eateries. Come hungry and experience a beloved Wisconsin tradition.
  • Fishing: St. Germain is an angler’s delight. Little Saint Germain Lake itself is known for fishing – try your luck catching muskie, northern pike, bass, or panfish right from Cedaroma’s docks or your own boat. Nearby lakes and streams provide endless fishing opportunities in spring, summer, and even ice fishing in winter. Don’t forget to swap fish tales with the locals at the bait shop!
  • Snowmobiling: With over 500 miles of groomed snowmobile trails in Vilas County, this area is a winter hotspot for riders. St. Germain’s trails link up with those in Eagle River and beyond, meaning you can ride for days. Cedaroma’s location on the trail means you can start your engine at the cabin and go. The town even hosts snowmobile radar runs and festivals during the winter.
  • Snowmobile Hall of Fame & Museum: Dive into the history of snowmobiling at this museum right in St. Germain. You’ll find an impressive collection of vintage snowmobiles and racing memorabilia, and learn about legendary racers and machines that put St. Germain on the map for snowmobile enthusiasts. The museum is open year-round (limited days in off-season), and is a must-see for anyone interested in the sport.

Whether you’re biking the trails in June or sledding through powder in January, St. Germain offers plenty to see and do. And if you just want to relax, you can always find a quiet lakeside spot or a friendly tavern to enjoy the simple pleasures of the Northwoods.

Thorn Cottage: 12 Years of Listing Lakefront Memories on RentWisconsinCabins.com.

For twelve years, Thorn Cottage has been a valued member of the RentWisconsinCabins.com family, part of the It’s Cabin Time® network. We’re thrilled to celebrate this long-standing connection. Thorn Cottage offers Cabintimers an authentic lakefront experience in Sugar Camp, Wisconsin. It sits directly on Dam Lake. Dam Lake is a key part of the beautiful Sugar Camp chain of lakes.

One major benefit we champion at It’s Cabin Time® is booking directly with owners. When you reserve Thorn Cottage, you connect straight with Elaine and Joseph Thorn. This means no added booking fees or surprise service charges often found on large travel sites. You talk directly to the people who know the cottage best.

Your Sugar Camp, WI Lakefront Cabin Awaits

Thorn Cottage provides a comfortable base for your Northwoods adventure. The cottage has two bedrooms. It can sleep up to seven guests. This makes it suitable for families or small groups. You’ll find new mattresses on the full beds ensuring a good night’s sleep.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the east-facing sun porch. It offers lovely views as the day begins. The full kitchen includes essential appliances like a refrigerator, stove, oven, and microwave. Prepare simple breakfasts or full dinners easily. The bathroom features a combination tub and shower.

Outside is where the lakefront living truly shines. Thorn Cottage rests on a private, quiet dead-end road. You have access to 180 feet of lake frontage. Two docks are available. Use them for docking your own boat, fishing, or just relaxing by the water. A small sandy beach area allows for easy water entry and swimming. Gather around the firepit in the evenings. A picnic table and charcoal grill are also provided for outdoor meals. Guests appreciate the included rowboat for exploring Dam Lake.

Exploring Dam Lake and the Sugar Camp Chain

Dam Lake itself covers 720 acres. It connects to four other lakes: Sand, Stone, Echo, and Chain. Together, they form the Sugar Camp chain, offering miles of water to explore. This chain is known for great fishing. Target musky, walleye, bass, and panfish. You can even access a restaurant directly from the water, making for a fun boating excursion.

The Advantage of Booking Directly with Elaine and Joseph

Choosing Thorn Cottage means more than just finding a place to stay. It means connecting with owners who care about your experience. Elaine and Joseph Thorn have owned the property since 1997. They live just eight miles away. Booking direct offers several key advantages:

  1. No Service Fees: Save money compared to big online travel agencies. Your payment goes directly towards your vacation rental.
