Two things Cabintimers love jump out here right away: bike-and-sled access right from the driveway, and a sandy, family-friendly shoreline on quiet Lake Content. Jantzen Properties’ Eagles Bluff and Whitetail Crossing sit just outside St. Germain with room to spread out, launch adventures, and wind down together without crowds.

At Eagles Bluff, you’re staying on 20 private acres above Lake Content with big-window views and space for a crowd. The home lists 7 bedrooms, 3 baths, and sleeping up to 20, plus a lakeside deck, fire pit, and a private dock for your crew. The sandy shallows are perfect for kids and coffee-in-a-chair mornings. A dual-access driveway means easy in/out for trailers and toys.

Next door, Whitetail Crossing is the cozier three-bedroom option that keeps you close to the same shoreline and trail network. Recently renovated, it’s a great fit for smaller groups or for overflow when the whole family books both homes. Together, these two give Cabintimers flexible lodging for reunions, fishing trips, or four-season long weekends.

Why Cabintimers love this spot

Lake days are effortless. Launch the kayaks, cast for walleye, or cruise over to the 1,600+ acre waters of Big St. Germain Lake via connected channels. Even better, the Heart of Vilas County’s 52-mile paved path reaches the end of the driveway, so bring the bikes and log sunny miles on the Heart of Vilas County Paved Bike Trail System. When the snow flies, the famed Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club trail crosses the property—no loading sleds to ride.

Inside, gather in the great room for cards by the fire, cook together in a well-equipped kitchen, and spread out in multiple sleeping spaces so bedtime is easy. Fast Wi-Fi, laundry, and smart TVs keep the modern comforts covered between adventures.

Keep the itinerary simple (and local)

Morning ride, afternoon lake, repeat—that’s a Northwoods day done right. If you’re looking to explore, plan a stop at the Snowmobile Hall of Fame & Museum, pedal a new segment of the Heart of Vilas trail toward Sayner or Boulder Junction, or chase a sunset on Lake Content with a shoreline stroll. Anglers can target musky, walleye, pike, and bass across Lake Content and Big St. Germain; paddlers will find quiet coves for loons and lily pads.

Book direct for the best trip

Skip the third-party markups—book straight with the owners for friendly rates, quick answers, and real local tips. Cabintimers, head to Jantzen Properties to check dates for Eagles Bluff and Whitetail Crossing, ask questions, and lock in your stay with no service fees and no middleman.

St. Germain Cabins with Boats at the Dock: Meet Northwoods Vacation Rentals. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2013!

St. Germain Cabins with Boats at the Dock: Meet Northwoods Vacation Rentals. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2013!

If easy lake days are calling, Northwoods Vacation Rentals in St. Germain, Wisconsin makes it simple. Two standouts Cabintimers love right away: on‑site pontoon and fishing‑boat rentals plus private piers with lakeside fire pits. Park the car, wheel your cooler to the dock, and spend your time fishing, paddling, and watching the loons instead of chasing marina schedules.

Northwoods Vacation Rentals keeps things personal and local. The team is based in St. Germain and focuses on helping guests make the most of their vacation—from where to catch walleye at sunrise to the best place for a Friday fish fry. Cabins and lake homes are spread across Little St. Germain Lake, Big St. Germain Lake, Lost Lake, Moon Lake, and Little Arbor Vitae Lake, so you can match your style of water and shoreline to your group.

Why Cabintimers book here

You’re not scrolling through hundreds of listings with mystery fees. You’re booking direct with a local manager who answers the phone and knows the trails, launches, and supper clubs. Summer weeks tend to go fast on these popular lakes, so planning ahead is smart—especially if you’re pairing a cabin with a pontoon or 16.5’ fishing boat.

Cabin spotlights (a few guest favorites)

Foster’s Lakehouse – Little St. Germain Lake
A three‑bedroom, two‑bath year‑round lake home on the east side of the lake—hello, sunset views. Inside you’ve got a full kitchen and washer/dryer; outside is a private pier, lakeside fire ring, and a canoe plus two kayaks. Anglers appreciate the included 14’ aluminum boat and the option to add a motor, fishing boat, or pontoon. Snowmobilers can hop on area trails right from the property.

Lay‑Z‑Pine – Big St. Germain Lake
About 40 feet from the water with a refreshed kitchen and living area, this cottage puts you close to the action. Families like the sandy beach, tennis court, and playground access, along with an on‑site boat launch and included small aluminum boat. Internet with smart TV makes movie night easy after the campfire.

Moon Lake Chalet – Moon Lake
A three‑bedroom, two‑bath lake home made for all‑season fun: 3 kayaks, private pier and campfire pit, central air, and both snowmobile and ATV/UTV access. The big deck faces a quiet shoreline where eagles and loons are regulars.

Grazian’s Lake View Cabin – Little St. Germain Lake
A two‑bedroom cabin with an open living area, extra‑large kitchen counter, and a side deck for grilling on the gas grill. Set just above one of two sandy beach areas with a swim raft and sunning dock. There’s pier space for two boats, a lakeside storage shed, and a fish‑cleaning house—nice perks for fishing groups.

Lingering Pines – Lost Lake
Classic Northwoods comfort with a private pier and a lakeside fire pit. Lost Lake is known for northern pike, walleye, largemouth bass, musky, and panfish, so bring your tackle box and a camera for those hero shots.

Boats & gear: the easy button

Skip the separate marina run. Northwoods Vacation Rentals rents pontoons (multiple sizes), 16.5’ fishing boats, and small outboard motors. Life jackets are included, and motors are mounted in advance for weekly rentals. Pairing a boat with your cabin means more time on the water and fewer logistics.

Things to do near St. Germain

Warm months are all about lake time—swimming, tubing, paddling, and slow evening cruises. Bikers can hop on the St. Germain Bike & Hike trail system, and families love Elmer’s Fun Park for go‑karts and mini golf. Golfers have several nearby courses. When the colors turn, pack the camera for a shoreline leaf‑peeping cruise.

Winter brings well‑groomed Bo‑Boen Snowmobile Club trails (over 100 miles) plus ice fishing, snowshoeing, and cross‑country skiing. Local events like the St. Germain Radar Run, the AMSOIL World Championship Snowmobile Derby, USA Pond Hockey Nationals, and the Tundra Plunge keep the calendar lively. Many restaurants are trail‑accessible, so you can ride to lunch and warm up by a fireplace.

Trip‑planning tips for Cabintimers

  • Summer stays often run weekly, and prime dates book early.
  • Ask about pairing your reservation with a pontoon or fishing boat to lock in your lake time.
  • Each cabin has its own amenity mix—kayaks, playground access, sandy beach areas, smart TVs, washer/dryer—so pick the setup that fits your crew.

Cabintimers, if you’re craving winding country roads, long-range ridgelines, and river time that slows the day down, set your sights on Ashe County in North Carolina’s High Country. Carolina Mountain Vacation Rentals is a local team based in downtown West Jefferson that makes booking easy—and direct—so you skip big-site traveler fees and get real local guidance.

Two things Cabintimers ask for again and again show up here in a big way: cabins with hot tubs and true water access. Carolina Mountain Vacation Rentals offers hot-tub cabins for stargazing sessions after a day on the Parkway, plus rare creekside cabins with small waterfalls and New River riverfront homes where you can cast from the bank or launch a kayak. Long-range mountain-view porches, pet-friendly options, and reliable WiFi round out the wish list.

Carolina Mountain Vacation Rentals at a glance: The company focuses on Ashe County—the “Uncrowded Alternative”—with easy day trips to Boone, Blowing Rock, Todd, Banner Elk, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. You’ll find settings from peaceful valley farms to ridgeline chalets, along with convenient in-town stays near West Jefferson’s galleries and eateries.

Why book direct.

Why book direct with a local manager

Booking direct with Carolina Mountain Vacation Rentals means no middleman, no third‑party platform service fees, and a real person who knows the backroads, put‑ins, and best breakfast stops. You’ll get accurate availability, clear house rules, and quick help if you need anything during your stay. Many cabins sit on gravel mountain roads; in winter, plan for possible 4WD or tire chains—another reason it helps to have locals on your side.

Cabin styles Cabintimers love

• Pet‑friendly cabins: Bring the dog and head for riverside trails, farm roads, and mellow town strolls.
• Hot‑tub homes: Private tubs with dark High Country skies are a nightly ritual around here.
• Riverfront & creekside: Wake to the sound of water. Spend your day paddling gentle New River stretches, tossing a line for smallmouth, or picnicking on the bank.
• Long‑range view chalets: Coffee tastes better when the sun climbs over Mount Jefferson. These porches are built for sunrise sit‑downs and sunset grills.
• Near‑Boone/Blowing Rock convenience: If you want easy access to restaurants, outfitters, and ski areas, choose a cabin closer to the main corridors.
• Work‑from‑the‑mountains: WiFi properties make it simple to blend a few afternoon emails with morning hikes and evening fires.

Eat, explore, repeat: local trip ideas

Start in West Jefferson. Pop into the murals and galleries on BackStreet, then swing by Ashe County Cheese for curds and ice cream. Drive up Mount Jefferson State Natural Area for big views without a long hike. When the New calls your name, pick a calm section of New River State Park for paddling or a lazy tube float.

Make time for a Parkway day. The Blue Ridge Parkway is minutes away from many cabins and delivers overlooks, picnic spots, and short leg‑stretcher trails all day long. If you’d rather pedal, roll the family‑friendly Railroad Grade Road between Todd and Fleetwood—it follows the river with minimal climbing.

Add a Boone/Blowing Rock detour. Families love Tweetsie Railroad, and foodies can work through Boone’s breweries and bakeries. On clear days, Grandfather Mountain’s mile‑high views are worth the drive. Come winter, nearby ski areas turn on the lights for night skiing and tubing.

Seasonal highlights for Cabintimers

• Spring: Waterfalls are lively, wildflowers line the Parkway, and trout season is rolling.
• Summer: Kayaks, canoes, and cool mountain nights on the deck—bring board games and marshmallows.
• Fall: A leaf‑color clinic. Long‑range porch views and Blue Ridge Parkway overlooks are a daily event.
• Winter: Skiing, snow tubing, and cozy nights by the fire. December brings High Country choose‑and‑cut Christmas tree farms, a tradition worth planning a weekend around.

What makes this manager stand out

Local roots, helpful policies, and a variety of settings—creekside with waterfalls, riverfront lawns, and high‑elevation views—mean you can match the cabin to your crew. The team’s office sits in downtown West Jefferson, so directions, gear rentals, fishing intel, and dining suggestions come from folks who live it every day.

Smart booking tips

• Browse by setting: Use filters for “Creekside w/Waterfall,” “Riverfront,” or “Long Range Mountain Views” to dial in the vibe you want.
• Traveling with pets: Look for “Dog‑friendly cabin” listings and arrange the pet fee in advance.
• Winter trips: Mountain roads can be steep or gravel. Ask about road grade and parking, and bring 4WD or chains when snow is in the forecast.
• Arrival timing: Aim for daylight arrivals on your first visit; views are better and navigation is easier.
• Save more by booking direct: You avoid third‑party traveler fees and communicate with the local manager from the start.

Hayward, WI Cabins: Book Direct on Round Lake, Spider Lake & the Chippewa Flowage. Property Management of Hayward is a RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner -Since 2017!

If your happy place smells like pine and coffee and sounds like loons at sunrise, you’re our kind of Cabintimer. Hayward Rentals (Property Management of Hayward, Inc.) pairs lakefront cabins and homes with real local know‑how, so you can spend more time on the water and less time scrolling. Two standout perks Cabintimers rave about: lots of pet‑friendly options and extras like kayaks, games, and outdoor hangout spaces at many rentals—perfect for families and friend groups.

Hayward, Wisconsin delivers the classic Northwoods scene year‑round: clear lakes, sandy shallows for the kids, miles of ATV and snowmobile trails, and evenings that end around the fire under a sky full of stars. When you book direct with Hayward Rentals, you get straight‑talking local support, no service fees, and properties that are clean, comfortable, and exactly as described.

Where to Stay (and Play)

Round Lake Cabins
Round Lake is famous for glass‑clear water and swim‑friendly shoreline. It’s a great pick for paddling, tubing, and those golden‑hour pontoon cruises. You’ll also find easy access to marinas, boat landings, and restaurants nearby—so it’s simple to keep everyone fueled between casts and cannonballs.

Chippewa Flowage Vacation Rentals
The “Big Chip” is Wisconsin’s largest wilderness lake—over 15,000 acres dotted with islands and quiet bays. Anglers come for musky, walleye, crappie, and bass; nature‑spotters come for eagles, loons, deer, and the occasional otter. If you crave space to roam by boat or kayak, this one delivers.

Spider Lake Cabin Rentals
This scenic, interconnected chain is tailor‑made for explorers. Drift through narrow channels to a fresh cove, cast for musky along a rock point, or sip your morning coffee while the shoreline wakes up around you. It’s peaceful water with room for adventure.

Plus more Northwoods water: Explore Nelson Lake, Moose Lake, and the Tiger Cat Flowage—each with its own vibe, fishing opportunities, and easygoing beach days.

Why Book Direct with Hayward Rentals

  • No service fees and better value than third‑party booking sites.
  • Local owners and hosts who live here—Dustin and Mikayla—and who pick up the phone, offer lake‑by‑lake tips, and keep properties well cared for.
  • Pet‑friendly choices so the whole crew can come along.
  • Extras at many homes: kayaks, yard games, and comfy indoor hangout spaces that help rainy days feel like part of the plan.
  • Year‑round support for snowmobile and ski weekends, spring fishing openers, summer family weeks, and fall color trips.

Things to Do Between Dock Time

Hire a local guide. Whether you’re chasing your first musky or dialing in a walleye bite, a Hayward guide day levels up the fishing fast.

Ride CAMBA singletrack & gravel. The Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association maintains 135+ miles of singletrack and 200+ miles of mapped routes around Hayward, Seeley, and Cable. Bring the bikes or rent in town and go get dusty.

Snowmobile or ski in winter. Sawyer County grooms 600+ miles of snowmobile trails, and Nordic fans know Hayward for the legendary American Birkebeiner every February. Trail‑accessible lodging and a warm fireplace back at the cabin make winter weekends feel dialed‑in.

Take the kids to Wilderness Walk Zoo & Recreation Park. Feed deer, meet farm animals, wander trails, and pan for “gold.” It’s an easy half‑day that pairs well with ice cream in town.

Downtown Hayward. Shop local outfitters and galleries, grab a burger or Friday‑night fish fry, and snap a photo with the giant muskie at the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame.

Trip Ideas for Cabintimers

  • 5‑Day Family Lake Week: Round Lake cabin, a guided fishing morning, an afternoon at the beach, one rainy‑day museum stop, and a sunset pontoon cruise.
  • Couples & Friends Weekend: Spider Lake cabin, coffee on the dock, bike CAMBA singletrack, dinner in downtown Hayward, late‑night stargazing by the fire.
  • Fall Color + Bike Festival: September in Hayward means the Chequamegon 40—book a Chippewa Flowage or Nelson Lake basecamp and make it a long weekend.

Lake Missaukee for Cabintimers: Sandy Shorelines, Two Fire Pits, and Boat-Ready Fun with Talsma Vacation Rentals. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2017!

Lake Missaukee for Cabintimers: Sandy Shorelines, Two Fire Pits, and Boat-Ready Fun with Talsma Vacation Rentals. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2017!

If your crew has been craving a lake place where everyone actually fits under one roof—and right on the beach—Talsma Vacation Rentals in Lake City, Michigan delivers. These lakefront homes sit on the south side of 1,900-acre, all-sports Lake Missaukee, about 15 minutes from Cadillac. Each home has its own sandy stretch, a private dock, and not one but two campfire rings—one near the house and another right on the beach—so the s’mores keep going long after sunset. Pontoon and Jet Ski rentals are available through Talsma, so Cabintimers can step from the deck to the dock and be cruising in minutes.

Why Cabintimers love these three lakefront homes

“Jennings” – 8 bedrooms, up to 24 guests: More than 5,000 square feet of gathering space and a roomy ¾-acre lot mean cousins, grandparents, and friends can all spread out without losing that together-time vibe. Walk into a game-friendly rec room with an air-hockey table, then head to the main floor’s open kitchen/dining/living area that faces the water. Outside, a lakeside patio with a gas grill sets the stage for cookouts, and the beach is shallow and swimmer-friendly.

“Arbutus” – 6 bedrooms, up to 15 guests: Built with big family vacations in mind, Arbutus offers 80 feet of sandy frontage and dining space for the whole crew—seating up to 15. A beach-side entry leads into a laundry area with a second fridge (so the lake snacks never run out). Rainy day? Slip downstairs to the TV/game room.

“Tranquility” – 4 bedrooms, up to 12 guests: This log-cabin-feel home pairs a cozy main-level living area with a lake-view deck, plus a lower-level family room with air hockey. The beach has those classic “big log” seats around the fire pit, and the shallow water is a win for little swimmers.

All three homes are pet-free and smoke-free, Wi-Fi and A/C equipped, and stocked with linens, towels, a propane grill, and family-friendly gear like a Pack ’n Play and high chair—less packing, more playing. Each property includes a dock, and Talsma’s watercraft rentals (two 22’ pontoons and a Jet Ski) are available for your full stay.

When to book & what to expect

Lakefront summer weeks are popular on Missaukee. Talsma begins taking the following summer’s lakefront reservations on October 1. Peak season requires a 7-night, Saturday-to-Saturday stay, and you’ll sign a simple rental agreement with a refundable deposit at check-in if everything looks good at departure.

Local tips from a “Cabin Time” point of view

Plan a beach-to-trail day by hopping over to William Mitchell State Park in Cadillac—great for kayaking between lakes, fishing from the pier, or wandering the Heritage Nature Trail at the Carl T. Johnson Hunting & Fishing Center (lantern-lit snowshoe hikes in winter are a treat). Afterward, grab a bite in Cadillac’s lakefront district or sample craft brews before you head back for sunset on Missaukee.

Visiting in winter? Keep an eye on conditions and carve turns at Caberfae Peaks (Michigan’s classic ski hill) and then retreat to your lake house for board games by the fire.

Book direct graphic

Why book direct with Talsma

Booking direct with the owners means no service fees, quick answers from locals who know the lake, and first pick of those coveted peak-season dates. For Cabintimers, that’s the difference between “maybe next year” and “see you on the beach after lunch.” Head straight to the source to check calendars, rates, and current promos—and tell them you’re coming to make memories on Missaukee.

Roan Mountain Rentals: Creekside Calm & High Country Views in East Tennessee. A RentTennesseeCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2017!

Roan Mountain Rentals: Creekside Calm & High Country Views in East Tennessee. A RentTennesseeCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2017!

If you’ve been craving a true Roan Mountain cabin experience, this local favorite checks all the boxes for Cabintimers: a luxury creekfront cabin called Fish Camp with two primary suites and a pebble‑floor spa shower, and a renovated 1930s Creek House with 350 feet of spring‑fed Cove Creek frontage and a stone fireplace. Prefer sky‑high views? The Mountain House sits around 4,200 feet with long‑range valley vistas and a private hot tub. Book direct with Roan Mountain Rentals and keep your dollars for trout flies, rhododendron selfies, and barbecue—no traveler fees, no middleman, and real local advice.

Roan Mountain Rentals keeps you close to the heart of the High Country—minutes from Roan Mountain State Park and Carver’s Gap on the Appalachian Trail—yet each property feels like your own hideaway. This corner of Northeast Tennessee is all about cool creeks, big balds, and night skies full of stars. It’s cabin time.

Why Cabintimers love these cabins

Fish Camp is a water‑lover’s basecamp at about 3,500 feet with 400 feet at the confluence of Shell and Doll creeks. Unwind on the half‑moon deck or stone patio by the creekside fire pit, then retreat to two private bedroom suites—one with a 6‑foot soaking tub and balcony. The kitchen sports granite counters and a farmhouse copper sink, so bring your favorite ribeye and claim the grill.

Creek House brings cozy Roan Mountain vibes in a fully updated 1930s bungalow. Expect hardwood and stone floors, a floor‑to‑ceiling wood‑burning fireplace, an enclosed sleeping/reading porch, and 2 porches with rockers. Toss a few rounds at the horseshoe pit and wander down to 350 feet along spring‑fed Cove Creek—it’s the sound you’ll remember long after checkout.

The Mountain House is for sunrise and stargazing fans. The great room has cathedral ceilings and a stone fireplace; covered porches run the full length of the house so the valley views are front‑row rain or shine. After a day at the Rhododendron Gardens, soak in the private hot tub or challenge the crew to a pool‑table showdown. Note: no pets here; consider Fish Camp or Creek House if you’re bringing the pup.

Pet‑friendly notes & booking direct perks

Traveling with dogs? Fish Camp and Creek House are pet‑friendly (with common‑sense rules), while The Mountain House is pet‑free. When you book direct with Roan Mountain Rentals, you’ll chat with the owners, avoid platform fees, and get tailored suggestions—from best picnic pull‑offs to where the trout bite after a summer rain.

What to do nearby (beyond the porch)

Roan Mountain State Park is your go-to for simple fun: a seasonal pool, tennis courts, creekside hikes, and a short bike loop. When the blooms pop, it feels like a guided wildflower walk even if you’re on your own. From Carver’s Gap, hop on the Appalachian Trail to Round Bald and Grassy Ridge—wide-open views and that famous June wave of Catawba rhododendron. On hot afternoons, head to Watauga Lake for a pontoon cruise, a swim in the clear water, or a smallmouth session. Down in Elizabethton, photograph the Doe River Covered Bridge and grab coffee or a bite. When snow flies, Banner Elk and Beech Mountain, North Carolina, are a quick, scenic drive for turns, tubing, and taprooms.

Trip‑planning tips for Cabintimers

Pack layers—the mountain air runs cooler than the valley, even in midsummer. If you’re visiting in winter and driving higher up, four-wheel drive is smart. Tuck camp chairs and a headlamp in the trunk for creekside reading and stargazing. Groceries and last-minute essentials are down the mountain in Elizabethton and Hampton.

Ready to book?

Bring layers—mountain weather changes fast, even in July. If you’re visiting in winter and heading up to the high country, 4WD can be a smart call. Pack camp chairs for creek‑side reading, and don’t forget a red headlamp for safe star‑gazing. Groceries and last‑minute essentials are down the mountain in Elizabethton and Hampton.

Ole’s Outpost + Kinni Creek Lodge & Outfitters: Two Northwoods Bases, One Epic Wisconsin Adventure. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2012!

Ole’s Outpost + Kinni Creek Lodge & Outfitters: Two Northwoods Bases, One Epic Wisconsin Adventure. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2012!

Cabintimers, here’s a dialed-in plan for a big, memory-packed Wisconsin trip: post up at Ole’s Outpost near Hayward for trail riding and lake time, then head south to Kinni Creek Lodge & Outfitters in River Falls for trout, kayaks, and cozy streamside lodging. You’ll cover the best of the Northwoods and the Driftless in one shot—and you’ll book directly with the owners for the lowest rates and local know-how.

Part 1: Ole’s Outpost — Trails, Lakes, and Space for the Whole Crew

This group-friendly cabin in Minong (near Hayward) was built for gear and good times. On-trail access means your ATVs or sleds roll right from the driveway, and multiple boat landings are just minutes away. Inside, there’s a full kitchen, central heat/AC, a gas/electric fireplace, smart TV with a video library, and plenty of room to spread out across 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (sleeps up to 16). Outside: deck, grill, picnic table, and a firepit that keeps the night going. The cabin is a licensed Tourist Rooming House, smoke-free, and pet-free—clean, simple, and ready for big-group fun.

Little touches make basecamp life easy: boat & trailer parking, a kitchen stocked with the essentials (dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, mixing bowls—the works), and tent-camping allowed onsite if the kids want a night under the stars. When it’s dinner time, pop 1–2 miles down the road for tavern fare or a Friday fish fry, then head back for s’mores.

Season-by-season playbook: In winter, ride miles of groomed snowmobile trail straight from the cabin. Spring and summer bring fishing and long lake days; add a river paddle on the Namekagon (Trego) or the storied Brule. Fall flips the forest to gold and the trails to fast, crisp riding. Tip: the local 4 Seasons Rec Club is your go-to for trail info, maps, and passes—check conditions before you launch.

Good-to-know logistics: Ole’s Outpost encourages Leave No Trace—there’s no local garbage service, so pack out trash and recyclables. And if you like comparing numbers, book-direct rates on the listing beat third-party markups (subject to change, of course). Direct gets you answers from the folks who actually ride these trails and launch these lakes.

Kinni Creek Lodge WI

Part 2: Kinni Creek Lodge & Outfitters — Trout, Kayaks, and Classic Driftless Vibes

Shift south to River Falls and settle in at Kinni Creek Lodge, a boutique fly-fishing base with 180 feet of private frontage on the Kinnickinnic River—a renowned Class I trout stream. The team here guides fly fishing, runs kayak trips, and operates an on-site fly shop. It’s a low-key, outdoorsy scene where early mornings mean rising trout and evenings mean a grill, a deck, and river music out the back door.

Kayak the Kinni: Choose from Upper Kayak Park floats (¾ hour to 3 hours, beginner-friendly), Lower Canyon runs (about 3 hours, intermediate/advanced), the all-day Kinni Jungle Safari (5–6 hours), or the 3 Rivers Confluence to Prescott (5–6 hours). Rentals include kayak, paddle, PFD, and free shuttle; private boat shuttles are available for a small fee. Reservations are by phone, and cash is the way to go—plan ahead so the only surprise is an eagle overhead.

Why this river is special: The Kinni is an Outstanding Resource Water with cool, spring-fed clarity, limestone outcrops, and a watershed full of birds, wildlife, and cold-water tributaries like Rocky Branch and the Rush River. You’re fishing and paddling in a living classroom—respect it, and it rewards you.

Around-town extras: From the lodge, you’re 10 minutes to Kinnickinnic State Park and 15 minutes to Willow River State Park for hiking, beaches, and winter trails. Downtown River Falls has coffee, pubs, and a Saturday farmers market in season; the MSP airport is ~35 minutes away, making this an easy meet-up for far-flung friends.
