Cabintimers, pack the cooler and point your compass north. Camp Flambeau sits on wide‑open Fence Lake, part of a ten‑lake chain near Lac du Flambeau. Two standalone cottages—Loyola and Marquette—offer different takes on classic Northwoods comfort, each with its own lakeside hangout space and quick access to all‑sports water fun.
Loyola Cottage sleeps five in two bedrooms. A fresh remodel added a roomy shower and brightened the open living area. Slide into the deck chairs at dusk to watch the sky change colors, then roast s’mores at the firepit. Your stay includes a shared dock, kayaks, and a paddle boat. Smart TV and Wi‑Fi keep the crew connected when the weather rolls in.
Marquette Cottage hosts up to six guests. The kitchen is stacked with new appliances and a long breakfast counter. Big windows wrap the dining table so every meal comes with a lake view. Step outside to a patio with a gas grill, picnic table, and a sunset that steals the show. A private dock is waiting for your fishing rig, and the cottage is pet‑friendly, so four‑legged pals don’t miss out.
Each cabin has garage parking, onsite laundry, and court time for tennis or hoops. Bring the bikes, ATVs, or snowmobiles—trails lace the surrounding forest in every season. Spend the day fishing musky, wakeboarding, or paddling through the clear water, then watch eagles glide overhead as loons call it a night.
When you’re ready to explore, the small‑town trio of Minocqua, Woodruff, and Lac du Flambeau is only 15 minutes away. Catch Fred Sheer’s Lumberjack Show, roll the dice at Lake of the Torches Casino, or wander Wildwood Wildlife Park. Refuel at a classic Wisconsin supper club and finish with maple‑glazed doughnuts from the Minocqua bakery.
Skip the extra fees and talk straight to the owners. Booking direct means no middleman, lower cost, and local tips that turn a good vacation into a story you’ll tell for years.
