Book direct with a local team. Skip the service fees. Get answers from real people who know the trails, boat landings, and the best fish fry in town. Find owner and manager contact information on RentWisconsinCabins.com.

From classic two‑bedroom cabins to sprawling nine‑bedroom estates, Hiller’s portfolio fits everything from a quiet couples’ escape to a big family reunion. Many homes sit right on the water. Sunrises over the pier. Loons calling at night. Coffee on the deck while the kids cast the first line of the day.

Why Cabintimers book with Hiller

Hiller Vacation Homes focuses on lake time. You’ll find properties on sought‑after lakes in the Northwoods with private piers, fire pits, and full kitchens. Need space for a crowd? Look for multi‑level layouts, bunk rooms, and big great rooms where everyone can gather. Traveling with a pup? Use the pet‑friendly filter and bring the whole pack.

Want high‑end finishes and extra perks? Explore the Signature Series. These standout homes offer upscale touches, sweeping water views, and resort‑style comforts—all backed by Hiller’s local team and concierge‑level help.

Make it a true lake trip with marine rentals

Hiller can outfit your stay with pontoon boats, bass boats, kayaks, and stand‑up paddleboards. Keep the group together on a roomy pontoon. Chase walleye and musky from a bass boat. Or glide into a quiet bay by kayak at sunset. Booking your watercraft with the same local crew keeps things simple, so your vacation stays all about the water.

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. Cabintimers know: no middleman means more money left for bait, gas, and ice cream runs.

When you’re ready, browse Eagle River vacation rentals, St. Germain cabins, Minocqua lakefront rentals, and Three Lakes cabins—then lock in the dates before someone else does.

Ready to plan? Visit Hiller Vacation Homes and book direct for best rates and the most up‑to‑date availability.

Slow Down at Green Frog Farm Cabins: West Tennessee History You Can Sleep In. Now Listing on RentTennesseeCabins.com.

Cabintimers, imagine waking up in a 100-year-old log cabin with blueberry rows on one side and a working cotton gin on the other. Green Frog Farm Cabins in Alamo, Tennessee, lets you do just that. The settlement began as Dr. John Freeman’s passion project to save pioneer structures; today four restored cabins invite guests to live the story rather than read about it. Amazing for weddings and events!

Pick Your Cabin

The Pines Cabin – the original farm stay, tucked between berry fields with a porch swing that dares you to linger.
The Moonshine Cabin – set by a vintage still for a dash of outlaw lore.
The Holly House – two-level comfort for up to five Cabintimers.
The Cotton Gin Cabin – hand-hewn bunkbeds and true farm-kid vibes.
The Corn Crib Cabin – a compact lodge-style retreat brimming with character.

Each cabin keeps its logs and stone fireplaces, yet modern HVAC and full kitchens make your stay easy.

Explore the Village

Step outside and wander a blacksmith shop, one-room schoolhouse, linotype machine, country store, and the Louise Pearson Arboretum with 100 labeled trees. It feels like museum doors never close—you hold the keys.

Day-Trip Ideas

Tennessee Safari Park – drive-through wildlife just 15 minutes away.
Brooks Shaw’s Old Country Store & Casey Jones Village – Southern comfort plates plus railroad lore in nearby Jackson.
L & N Depot & Railroad Museum – vintage cars and local rail history.
Pinson Mounds State Archaeological Park – climb Native American earthworks and walk forest trails.

Grab catfish in downtown Alamo, or catch live blues on Jackson’s Music Highway.

Why Book Direct?

Reserve straight through GreenFrogFarmCabins.com and chat with the folks who built the place. No service fees. No middleman. Just local tips on berry picking times, best wedding photographers, and where to spot fireflies after dark.

Ready to press pause on busy days? Check availability, pack a cooler, and meet us where porch rockers rule.

Grab Your Crew—Rustic Log Cabin Retreat on Lake Leelanau. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2022!

Cabintimers, picture this: a 5,000-square-foot log home spread over a private acre, steps from a brand-new dock on Lake Leelanau. Rustic Log Cabin Retreat sleeps twenty in five roomy bedrooms with thirteen fresh beds and three full baths. There’s space for grandparents, cousins, and the kids’ best friends too.

Room to play
Rain or shine, the fun keeps rolling. A full game room brings out friendly rivalry with ping-pong, air hockey, darts, and an indoor basketball hoop. Two smart-TV zones let sports fans and movie buffs watch in peace. The furnished kitchen packs double fridges, so stock up at Leland Mercantile and keep the crowd fueled. A long dining table turns every meal into a gathering.

Great Northern air
Step onto the wraparound porch for morning coffee. Fire up the gas or charcoal grill, then circle the lakeside fire pit when the stars pop out. Bring the boat—dock it across the street and launch just seven blocks north. Snow on the ground? Return to a toasty gas fireplace after carving turns at The Homestead or riding the nearby snowmobile trail network.

Lake Leelanau & beyond

Water days: Cruise the peninsula with Leelanau Watersports or troll for walleye before sunset.
Trail time: Hike Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail or tackle Empire Bluff for sweeping dune-top views.
Taste local: Sip Riesling at Black Star Farms, fizz at Mawby, then chase it with fresh cherries from Cherry Republic in Glen Arbor.
History fix: Ferry to South Manitou Island for lighthouse climbs and shipwreck lore.
Shop strolls: Traverse City’s Front Street serves craft brews, indie bookstores, and record shops; nearby Suttons Bay mixes art galleries with beach snacks.

Book direct, save more
Skip platform fees. Talk with the owner for insider fishing holes, the best M-22 scenic pull-offs, and where to spot Petoskey stones. That local knowledge is priceless—and it’s only a quick message away on RentMichiganCabins.com.

Ready to lock in a date? Hit the inquiry button, ask your questions, and start counting down to cabin time.

Brekke’s Fireside Resort: Your Family-Run Rhinelander, WI Resort on Lake George! A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2023!

It’s Cabin Time® takes pride in featuring dedicated members like Brekke’s Fireside Resort. For years, they’ve successfully welcomed Cabintimers who find them through RentWisconsinCabins.com. This family-operated resort sits on the shores of Lake George in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. It represents a classic lakeside cottage vacation experience. Brekke’s history stretches back decades. Booking your stay directly with them offers significant advantages for your trip planning and budget.

A Legacy on Lake George

The story of Brekke’s Fireside Resort begins in 1936. Arthur and Wanda Hutchinson purchased the land for $3,000. They built the foundation of the resort, including cottages 1 through 6 and the office building we see today. Arthur passed away in 1943, leaving a lasting mark.

The Brekke family chapter started in 1971. Ron and Carol Brekke bought the resort that year. They introduced updates, adding cottage 8 and establishing the current bar area. Sadly, Ron passed in 1977. Carol faced a difficult decision. She chose to remain and became the heart of the resort for over four decades. Her dedication, supported by helpful neighbors and generations of wonderful guests, kept the resort thriving.

Today, Ron and Carol’s children, Dan Brekke and Nancy Brekke-Jones, carry on the family tradition. They manage the resort with the same commitment to guest experience. While the resort has evolved over nearly 90 years, Dan and Nancy hope the warm, welcoming feeling guests take away remains constant.

Your Lakeside Cottage Experience at Brekke’s

Brekke’s Fireside Resort offers several exceptionally clean housekeeping cottages. These rentals provide a comfortable home base for your Northwoods vacation. Each cottage includes essential kitchen facilities like a microwave and coffee maker. The bathrooms feature showers. Linens are furnished for the beds. Guests should plan to bring their own bath towels and beach towels.

The resort ensures you have tools for outdoor enjoyment too. A 14-foot aluminum boat comes included with each cottage rental. Outside every cottage, you will find a 22-inch Weber grill for cookouts. A picnic table and lawn chairs are also provided. Modern conveniences are available. Guests have access to free Wi-Fi. Brekke’s is also a pet-friendly resort, welcoming furry family members.

Fun on Lake George

Lake George itself is a key attraction. The lake covers 446 acres. It reaches a maximum depth of 26 feet, with much of it ranging from 10 to 18 feet deep. Explore 5.5 miles of scenic shoreline.

Brekke’s offers many ways to enjoy the water. Relax on the gradual sloping sand beach. Swim out to the diving raft for a plunge. Kids love the large lily pad swim mat. Take advantage of the resort’s complimentary watercraft. Kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats, and a canoe are all free for guest use. Remember, your cottage rental includes a 14-foot rowboat.

For those wanting more power, Brekke’s rents outboard motors. They also offer spacious 20-foot pontoon boats with 60hp motors for rent. These pontoons fit up to 10 people. They are perfect for cruising, swimming, or serious fishing. Pontoon rentals are available to resort guests and the public, but must stay on Lake George.

Fishing on Lake George is excellent. Anglers can target muskie, northern pike, walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, crappie, perch, bluegill, and rock bass. You can often catch panfish right off the resort docks. Brekke’s provides a lake map to help you find good spots. Need an edge? Rent trolling motors or portable fish locators. If you keep your catch, a fish cleaning house with running water and lights is available.

Guests are welcome to bring their own boats. There is ample dock space and trailer parking. Power outlets are located near the lake for battery charging (bring an extension cord). Please note, there is no boat launch on-site, but a free public launch is just two miles away. Due to the lake size, wake boats are not permitted.

More Resort Recreation

The fun at Brekke’s extends beyond the water. Numerous land-based activities keep guests entertained. Challenge friends or family on the tennis court or pickleball court. Enjoy classic resort games like shuffleboard and horseshoes. Play pickup games on the basketball court. Set up the net for volleyball or badminton.

Younger guests have a dedicated playground area with swings. Multiple picnic spots are scattered around the grounds. In the evening, gather around the communal firepit. Brekke’s provides the firewood. Need a break indoors? The resort features a bar and game room for relaxation and socializing.

Why Booking Brekke’s Direct Matters

It’s Cabin Time® connects travelers directly with property owners and managers. Choosing to book Brekke’s Fireside Resort directly through their RentWisconsinCabins.com listing provides clear benefits:

No Extra Fees: You avoid the service fees and commissions charged by large online travel agencies. Your payment goes directly to the resort.

Local Expertise: Benefit from the Brekke family’s decades of experience running the resort and living in Rhinelander. Get insider tips on fishing spots, local attractions, or dining.

Visit the Rhinelander Logging Museum to explore the area’s rich history.
