Wake Up on Round Lake: Sunrise Shores Lake House in Palisade, MN. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2019!

If your perfect cabin time starts with coffee on the deck and the call of loons, you’ll feel right at home at Sunrise Shores Lake House. This Palisade, Minnesota lake home sits on Round Lake with clear, 16‑foot visibility and sunrise views that light up the water. It’s peaceful, easy to reach from the Twin Cities, and set up for Cabintimers who want lake days, bonfires, and simple comforts with their crew—including the dog.

Why Cabintimers love Sunrise Shores This 1,400‑square‑foot home checks the boxes for space and convenience. You’ll find three private bedrooms, 1.5 baths, strong Wi‑Fi, and plenty of room to spread out. Spend slow mornings in the four‑season porch, then drift outside to two large decks and a ground‑level patio for grilling and dining. The 150 feet of shoreline and private dock make it a breeze to swim, fish, and tie up your boat. Kayaks and a canoe are ready for you on site, with life jackets included. Dogs are welcome (with a fee), and the quiet dead‑end road keeps the vibe relaxed.

Life on Round Lake Round Lake spans around 650 acres and is known for that crystal‑clear water. Wade from the gentle, sandy shallows, motor out for skiing or tubing, or paddle to explore the shoreline. Locals love to boat over to a shallow sandy area—kids splash all day while adults kick back. Anglers target panfish, bass, and walleye, and evening bonfires bring out starry skies and the soft hoot of owls.

Rain or shine fun If clouds roll in, the lower‑level family room delivers easy entertainment with streaming TV, a foosball table, puzzles, and card games. When the sun returns, grab the yard games and head back outside. The lot has mature trees for shade and open space for play.

Four seasons of adventure Summer is for swims, paddles, and the deck. Fall brings blazing color and quiet hikes. In winter, you’re close to snowmobile and ATV trail systems; bring the trailer—there’s space to park. Spring is for cool‑water fishing and cozy fires.

Local things to do Make Round Lake home base and add a few day trips:

  • Long Lake Conservation Center for trails, wildlife, and educational programs.
  • Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area for famous red‑dirt mountain bike trails and mine‑lake paddling.
  • Tee it up at nearby courses like Minnesota National (McGregor), Emily Greens, Cuyuna Rolling Hills, and Quadna Mountain (Hill City).
  • Explore Aitkin for cafes, supper clubs, and small‑town shopping; roll north toward Crosby/Ironton for bikes, breweries, and lake views.

Good to know Weekly, Saturday‑to‑Saturday stays are common in peak summer. Lower‑season stays often start at three to four nights. Pets are considered (dogs only), and a cleaning fee applies. Policies may change—confirm details with the owner when you book direct.

Book direct for the best cabin time Skip the middleman. When you book directly with the owner you avoid platform service fees and get local expertise on the lake, the bite, and the best nearby trails. Head to the Sunrise Shores Lake House page on RentMinnesotaCabins.com to message the owner, ask questions, and lock in your preferred dates.

Green Bay Views or Northwoods Seclusion? Two Book-Direct Cabin Stays for Cabintimers. RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partners Since 2019!

Green Bay Views or Northwoods Seclusion? Two Book-Direct Cabin Stays for Cabintimers. RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partners Since 2019!

If your happy place includes morning coffee with water views and evenings around a crackling fire, Wisconsin brings the goods in every season. Today we’re spotlighting two very different stays run by the same local host—one on the shore of Green Bay in Oconto, the other at the water’s edge on Little St. Germain Lake in the Northwoods. Both are book-direct, both skip the service fees, and both give Cabintimers the inside track to local expertise.

Stop 1: Bay View Cottage — Oconto, WI (Green Bay / Lake Michigan)

Wake up to sunrise over the Bay and the soft hush of waves. Bay View Cottage sits right on the shoreline, with a level lawn that flows to the water and a big deck made for Adirondack lounging. Inside, you’ll find a fresh, homey setup: a fully equipped kitchen with room to spread out, a cozy sitting area with a gas fireplace for shoulder-season nights, and a lake-facing sunroom that quickly becomes everyone’s favorite hangout.

With three upstairs bedrooms (including a king suite with dedicated workspace) plus a loft, there’s flexible sleeping for families and small groups—up to eight Cabintimers. After a day outside, an upper-level jetted tub hits the reset button. Traveling with a boat or trailer? The wide drive and two-car attached garage make arrivals easy.

Why Cabintimers love this Oconto basecamp

Bay View Cottage is wired for year-round adventure. In warm months, launch days on the Bay, grill on the deck, and gather at the private fire ring under a bright night sky. In winter, birders keep an eye out for snowy owls along the shoreline, and anglers swap walleye stories. Packers fans can run down to Green Bay for a Lambeau Field tour, then retreat to the quiet water when the crowds thin.

Things to do nearby

Oconto is a sneaky-good spot for easy day trips. Stretch your legs at Copper Culture State Park and North Bay Shore Recreation Area. Sip local at Forgotten Fire Winery. Take the kids to Commando Paintball Sports for birthday-level fun. History buffs can string together the Beyer Home Museum, the Peshtigo Fire Museum, and the Stephenson Island Logging Museum. Golfers roll a round at Riverside Golf Club. When it’s time for dinner, head into town for a classic Friday fish fry.

Stop 2: The Point House — St. Germain, WI (Little St. Germain Lake)

Drive north to classic cabin country and trade big-water vistas for island-like privacy. The Point House sits at the end of a private road with water in three directions—cue the loon calls. It’s the stuff Northwoods memories are made of: knotty pine, a wood-burning fireplace with wood stacked and ready, and living/dining/kitchen spaces that keep the crew connected.

Sleeping is simple and comfortable with a king bedroom, a queen bedroom, and a third bedroom with two twins. The kitchen is fully stocked for group meals—brew a pot of morning coffee, flip pancakes, then move outside. A screened gazebo and an open deck hug the shoreline, and the shallow, sandy swim area with afternoon sun turns into an all-day hang for families. Private pier? Yep—set up with a bench and electric for easy fishing and charging.

Why Cabintimers love this St. Germain classic

The Point House shines in every season. Summer days mean glassy paddles at sunrise and campfire cones by night. Fall brings cranberry marsh tours and a fireworks display of color across the water. Winter delivers hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails right from town, plus cross-country loops on the Awassa Trail system and nearby options like Madeline Lake and Fallison Lake. When you’re done, thaw out by the fireplace and trade trail stories.

Things to do nearby

St. Germain sits between Eagle River and Minocqua, so day-trip choices come easy. Bike the award-winning Heart of Vilas County Trail. Explore more lakes by kayak or pontoon. Swing the sticks at St. Germain Golf Club. Bring the kids to the Snowmobile Hall of Fame. Zipline in the Northwoods, sample a local distillery, and cap it off with a supper club old fashioned.

Book direct—skip fees, talk with locals, travel smarter

Both Bay View Cottage and The Point House are hosted by local owners who know the water, the trails, and the best Friday fish fry within 15 miles. Booking direct means you skip the third‑party fees and connect one-on-one for pro tips—best launch spots, secret berry patches, where the muskies hang, and which bakery sells out by 9 a.m. That’s the Cabintimer advantage.

Trip planning notes

  • Group size & layout: Bay View Cottage sleeps up to 8 with three bedrooms plus a loft; The Point House sleeps up to 6 across three bedrooms. Each home includes a full kitchen, Wi‑Fi, and multiple outdoor gathering spaces.
  • Bring the toys: There’s ample boat and trailer parking at both addresses. The Oconto home’s attached garage is clutch for gear storage.
  • Four-season stays: From walleye runs and sandy swims to snowmobiling and fireplace nights, you’re covered January through December.
  • Pet policy: If you’re bringing a pup, confirm current policies and fees with the owner at booking.

Ready to pick your water? Reach out to the owner through their listings to book direct—no service fees, no middleman. Want to peek at more photos, rates, and calendars first? Visit the rental website directly and then inquire. Your hosts are quick to answer questions and help dial in dates.

Adeline’s House of Cool: Lake Puckaway Cabin (Sleeps 12) With a 20‑Foot Hot Tub. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2013!
by

Adeline’s House of Cool: Lake Puckaway Cabin (Sleeps 12) With a 20‑Foot Hot Tub. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2013!

Cabintimers, this Wisconsin cabin is all about play. Adeline’s House of Cool sits in Green Lake County with quick access to Lake Puckaway and nearby small towns like Marquette, Markesan, Princeton, and Green Lake. It’s family‑owned, kid‑friendly, and pet‑friendly. Bring the whole crew.

Adeline’s is a whole‑house vacation rental with sleeping space for up to twelve across six cozy bedrooms. There are two full bathrooms plus a half bath, so getting out the door for fishing runs or dinner is smooth. A winding staircase leads to a second‑floor great room with a stone-and-granite wood‑burning fireplace and plush seating. The screened wrap‑around deck stretches outside with hanging bench swings and a gated access point to a classic fireman’s pole. Yep—this place was built for laughs.

The 20‑Foot “Big Dipper”

The star of the show is the 20‑foot hot tub—affectionately called the Big Dipper. Mood lighting, soothing jets, and in‑tub benches turn hangout time into a nightly ritual. French doors open to a dining and gathering area, so snacks and stories are always within reach. This is where late‑night chats and early‑morning coffee seem to last a little longer.

Game On: Bar + Arcade Vibes

The game room is a people‑pleaser. There’s a large handcrafted bar with multiple coolers, a regulation pool table, an old‑school jukebox, a tuned piano, pinball, and an antique slot machine. A stone-and‑granite wood‑burning fireplace anchors the room, and there’s satellite TV and Wi‑Fi when the game is on. Handcrafted stained‑glass fixtures add that extra bit of Wisconsin personality.

Outside: Pier, Fire Ring, and Quirky Finds

Step into the yard and you’ve got space to roam under tall trees. Follow the path to the private pier on a channel that leads to Lake Puckaway—great for casting a line, launching a kayak, or just watching the water. Even in winter, the lake draws anglers and snow‑season explorers. Back near the house, gather at the large fire pit for s’mores and stories. There’s even a working telephone booth to call between the house and the fire ring—one of those only‑at‑Adeline’s touches. Keep an eye out for Cowboy Joe on the wrap‑around porch and a life‑size Laurel & Hardy for fun photo ops. In warmer months, the colorful umbrella garden pops for strolls and selfies.

Where to Explore

Adeline’s location sets you up for easy day trips. Head to the Grand River Marsh Wildlife Area for quiet trails and bird‑watching. Drive the country roads to Amish communities in Dalton and Kingston for baked goods and handmade finds. Golfers can play The Golf Courses of Lawsonia in Green Lake. With Wisconsin Dells a reasonable drive away, waterslides can be part of the plan, too. Closer to home, Princeton’s shops and seasonal flea market make a relaxed afternoon.

When to Go

This cabin works in every season. Winter brings ice fishing and fireside hangs. Spring brightens the grounds and nearby wetlands. Summer is all about the pier, the hot tub, and long evenings on the deck. Fall paints the county in deep reds and golds—bring the camera.

Booking Tips for Cabintimers

Adeline’s House of Cool offers “Save Your Stay” reservations up to 18 months out, which is helpful for groups coordinating calendars. Weekday stays often come with added value and a little more elbow room around the county. Most important—book direct with the owner for the lowest price and local know‑how. No service fees. No middleman. Real answers from folks who know the area.

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.

Make it a true lake trip with marine rentals

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.

Cabin 7 at Trout Lake Resort: Big, Accessible, and Ready for Cabintimers year‑round. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2015!

Cabin 7 at Trout Lake Resort: Big, Accessible, and Ready for Cabintimers year‑round. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2015!

Looking for a spacious Grand Marais cabin on the Gunflint Trail with easy access for every member of the crew? Meet Cabin 7 at Trout Lake Resort. This large vacation home sleeps 11–13 and is wheelchair accessible. It’s open year‑round, so your fishing trips, fall color weekends, holiday gatherings, and spring escapes all have a home base.

The space

Three bedrooms keep everyone comfortable. The primary bedroom offers a king bed plus bunks. Bedroom two has a queen bed plus bunks. Bedroom three has a twin bed plus bunks. There’s also a full‑size sleeper sofa.

The layout is open and bright. Picture windows frame the pines and the lake. A screened‑in porch extends hangout space outdoors. Cook together in a fully equipped kitchen with a big dining table for the whole group. Fire up the charcoal grill on the hilltop lot. After sunset, unwind with satellite TV and the DVD/VHS player.

Why Cabintimers love winter here

Cabin 7 is the one Trout Lake Resort cabin available in winter. That makes planning simple. Walk to the heated ice‑fishing house and chase rainbow and lake trout. Bring the sleds and connect to groomed snowmobile trails that lead into the Gunflint and Grand Portage systems. Cross‑country skiers can explore miles of groomed Nordic trails, including the Banadad. Downhill fans can spend a day at Lutsen Mountains, roughly 30 miles away. Pack a paper map—cell service fades a few miles up the Gunflint.

Spring, summer, and fall on Trout Lake

Trout Lake is deep, cold, and clear—prime water for native lake trout. Try fly fishing for rainbow and brook trout when the water is cool. As temps climb, troll the deeper holes for lake trout. Want walleye, pike, or smallmouth bass? Check nearby Elbow and Northern Light Lakes. Stream anglers will find options close by, too. Check the Minnesota DNR for licensing and trout stamp details.

Between casts, there’s time for shoreline paddles, porch naps, and camp‑style meals. Evenings are for loon calls and stargazing.

Dog‑friendly

Dogs are welcome. Keep pups supervised, tidy up, and ask the resort for old towels after a good swim. Everyone stays happy when good dog etiquette comes along for the trip.

Where you’ll be

Cabin 7 sits a short drive up the Gunflint Trail from Grand Marais. Turn onto Trout Lake Road and you’re in the pines in minutes. It feels far away, yet you can pop into town for groceries, a harbor stroll, or fresh‑baked treats.

Things to do in Grand Marais & along the Gunflint Trail

  • North House Folk School: Take a half‑day craft class or watch live demos on the harbor campus.
  • Artist’s Point & the Lighthouse: Walk the breakwater, watch the surf, and explore lava rock formations.
  • Chik‑Wauk Museum & Nature Center: Learn Gunflint Trail history and explore family‑friendly nature trails.
  • Nordic trail systems: Central Gunflint, Banadad, and Upper Gunflint offer extensive groomed skiing when the snow flies.
  • Scenic drives & overlooks: Cruise the Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway and keep an eye out for moose at dawn or dusk.

Book direct and keep more for fun

Cabintimers, skip the third‑party fees. Book directly with the owner/manager for the best rates, flexible conversations, and real local tips. That’s how cabin trips should be.

Otsego Lake Cabins in Gaylord, MI: A Deeper Dive into Your Next Authentic Vacation

It’s Cabin Time® is your trusted connection to authentic cabin and cottage experiences. We help travelers, whom we affectionately call Cabintimers, find memorable stays across Michigan and 11 other states. Today, we are taking a closer look at two exceptional properties in Gaylord, MI.

The Advantage of Booking Directly with Owners

When planning a cabin trip, the booking process matters. Booking directly with owners Lisa and Charles of Otsego Lake Properties presents clear advantages. You will not pay extra service fees that online travel agencies often add. This keeps your vacation costs down. You also avoid a middleman. This means you have a direct line of communication with the people who know the property best. Lisa and Charles provide local expertise. They can give you insider tips on the best places to eat, shop, and explore in the Gaylord area. This direct relationship ensures a smoother, more personal vacation experience from start to finish.

A Closer Look at Two Lakeside Cabins

Otsego Lake Properties features two unique cabins on the beautiful shores of Otsego Lake. Each property provides a different but equally inviting atmosphere for your northern Michigan adventure.

The Swiss Chalet: A Cozy Retreat

The Swiss Chalet is an excellent choice for families and groups. This five-bedroom, two-bathroom chalet comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests. It is situated on a large, private lot, offering plenty of space. The sandy beach of Otsego Lake is just a short 100-yard stroll away. The sleeping arrangements are versatile. There is a master bedroom on the first floor. Three more bedrooms are located upstairs. A small bunk room sleeps two. The beds include one king, two twins, one full bed, a bunk bed, and a convertible bed, accommodating various group configurations.

The heart of the chalet is its fully stocked kitchen. You will find a microwave, dishwasher, and coffee maker. Cooking utensils and dishes are provided. This makes preparing your own meals simple. For those who enjoy golf, the location is a bonus. Fifteen championship golf courses are located nearby. The weekly rental rate for the Swiss Chalet is $1800. Pets are not permitted at this property.

The Historical Lodge: A Spacious Lakefront Estate

For larger gatherings, the Historical Lodge is a superb option. This expansive lodge can host up to 16 people. It features eight bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The lodge is set on a generous three-acre lakefront property. It boasts 200 feet of private, sandy beach on the northeast side of Otsego Lake. The property’s address is 866 Oak Grove Dr., Gaylord, MI 49735.

The interior of the lodge has character. A rustic stone fireplace creates a warm focal point. The rooms feature authentic Rittenhouse furniture and knotty pine walls. While the lodge maintains its historic feel, the kitchen is updated and spacious. It comes equipped with all necessary amenities for a large group. Outside, you will find a screened-in boathouse, perfect for enjoying the lake views. A fire pit and park-style grill are available for cookouts. Onsite recreation includes a ping pong table and access to an ATV trail. For water activities, guests have use of a private dock and the private sand beach. Summer rentals are weekly with a six-night minimum. The changeover day is Saturday. The weekly rate is $4200. Pets are not allowed.

Exploring the Best of Gaylord, Michigan

Gaylord is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, offering activities for every Cabintimer.

  • Lakes and Rivers: Otsego Lake is the area’s largest lake, ideal for boating and fishing for walleye, perch, and pike. The Manistee River is known for its clear waters and excellent trout and salmon fishing. For a thrilling paddle, the Sturgeon River is the fastest-flowing river in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula.
  • Trails for Hiking and Biking: The area has an extensive network of trails. For a true backcountry experience, try the 70-mile High Country Pathway.
