Looking for a one-of-a-kind Manitowish Waters cabin rental on the Manitowish Chain? Cabintimers, meet the Cozy Cottage on Little Star Lake—a 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage that sleeps 4 and puts you steps from calm, clear water and the storied Little Bohemia Lodge. This is the kind of place where mornings start with coffee on the porch and end with s’mores at the fire ring, with a full day of lake time in between.
Why Cabintimers love this cottage
Set right on Little Star Lake, the property has over 125 feet of private, rippled sand frontage and a private dock—a big win for families with young swimmers and anyone who wants quick, easy access to the boat. Bring your own rig or rent one locally and enjoy door-to-dock access to the 10-lake Manitowish Chain. Musky, bass, walleye, and panfish keep anglers busy from opener to fall color. Back at the cottage, you have A/C, satellite TV, a grill, and a full kitchen to make meals together simple. Pets are considered with owner approval, so the whole crew can tag along.
Inside, the cottage layout is dialed for a small family or two friends’ trips: one bedroom with a queen bed, one with two twins, and one full bath. It’s an easygoing base that lets the lake steal the show.
A location with a story
History buffs and food lovers will get a kick out of the scene here—the cottage sits by Little Bohemia Lodge, home to the famous Dillinger shootout and filming location for Public Enemies. Walk over for a meal, a drink, and a slice of Northwoods lore. Around town, you’ll find friendly supper clubs, taverns, and dock-and-dine spots that make a day on the chain feel complete.
Things to do on and off the water
Paddle the calm bays at sunrise. Cruise to Island Lake for a picnic on a sandy point. When you’re ready to stretch your legs, hop on the Heart of Vilas County Bike Trail System toward Boulder Junction for miles of paved riding. Mountain bikers and winter sport fans can hit WinMan Trails for singletrack, fat biking, XC skiing, and snowshoeing. The area’s snowmobile and ATV/UTV trails connect you to big-mile adventures right from Manitowish Waters.
