Dickerson’s Lake Florida Resort in Spicer, MN: Lakefront Cabins, Warm Traditions, Easy Fun. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2014!

Cabintimers, meet a Minnesota classic. Dickerson’s Lake Florida Resort puts you right on the sand with 13 lakefront cabins, a level beach, and a week full of simple traditions that keep families coming back. Cookies at check‑in. Fresh donuts on Sunday. Pizza picnic on Monday. A kids’ hayride and campfire on Thursday. It feels like summer should.

Lakefront cabins made for together time

Choose from 1–5 bedroom cabins that sit steps from the beach. Many have gas fireplaces and ceiling fans. All have air conditioning. Kitchens come ready for meals with a refrigerator, gas stove, microwave, drip coffee maker, toaster, cookware, and dishes. Bed linens and feather pillows are provided. Each cabin has a deck or picnic table for lakeside meals and board games.

What to pack: your bath and kitchen towels, soaps, and paper products. Wi‑Fi is available throughout the resort. Smoke‑free grounds keep the air fresh. Pets stay home.

Sandy beach + free water toys = all‑day play

Lake Florida is spring‑fed and clear—perfect for swimming, paddling, and sandcastle marathons. The beach is wide and flat, so little feet can wander from towel to water with ease. Guests use kayaks, a paddleboat, canoe, inner tubes, hydro bikes, fun bugs, and even a sailboat—free. On shore, bikes, trikes, wagons, swing sets, and a jungle gym keep the fun rolling.

Fishing that hooks every age

Lake Florida spans 674 acres and is known for walleye and largemouth bass. Northern pike, crappies, and sunfish round out the catch. Kids often pull panfish right off the dock. Clean your haul in the on‑site fish cleaning room. Bring your own boat and launch at the public access on the north side of the lake, or rent a motor or pontoon at the resort.

Traditions that taste like vacation

Dickerson’s lakefront resort is famous for the little things that make a week feel special. You’ll arrive to a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies in your cabin. On Sunday morning, owners Bob and Connie serve fresh donuts with coffee and juice. Monday evening, the whole crew gathers for a pizza picnic—watch how fast the slices disappear. Thursday brings a classic hayride for the kids, followed by a campfire and gooey s’mores for everyone.

How the week flows

Prime summer weeks run Saturday to Friday, which gives Cabintimers a full final day on the water. Spring and fall reservations are more flexible. Mention any special needs—cribs, highchairs, motors—when you book so everything’s ready on arrival.

Day trips around Spicer, New London, and Willmar

Sibley State Park (New London) offers miles of trails and a short climb to the Mount Tom overlook. Bring the camera.

Glacial Lakes State Trail is a paved route connecting Willmar, Spicer, and New London. Bike, push a stroller, or skate a few miles before cooling off at the beach.

Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center in Spicer runs hands‑on outdoor programs—archery, climbing, canoeing, and nature experiences for all ages.

Big Kahuna Fun Park adds go‑karts, bumper boats, and an 18‑hole mini‑golf course to your itinerary. Great for a cloudy afternoon.

Little Crow Ski Team performs Friday‑night water‑ski shows at Neer Park in New London throughout summer. Pack lawn chairs and cheer on the pyramids.

Stroll shops and cafés in New London and Spicer. Cruise Green Lake. Bike the trails in Willmar. Back at the resort, end the day with a sunset swim.

Go With the Flow: Cabins on the West Fork at Nature Nooks Retreat (Viroqua, WI). As Seen on RentWisconsinCabins.com Since 2013!

Nature's Nooks WI

If your version of cabin time includes paddling quiet water, casting for trout at first light, and stargazing after the campfire settles, point your compass to Nature Nooks Retreat in Viroqua. This 87-acre hideaway lays out one peaceful mile of the West Fork of the Kickapoo River right on the property—plus complimentary kayaks and tubes so Cabintimers can slip in and explore at their own pace. Trails ribbon through prairie, wetlands, and woods, with wildlife around every bend.

Nature Nooks leans all-in on sustainability, which makes staying here feel even better. The retreat is 100% solar-powered (48 panels) and has an EV charging station for two vehicles. It’s also recognized as a Travel Green certified business—so your getaway treads lighter while you kick back.

Pick Your Place to Stay

The Lodge fits up to 12 with eight separate beds, a light-filled living area, woodstove warmth, and a screened porch that begs for long conversations. Little Barn Cabin sleeps six in a modern, wood-rich space with sunrise and sunset views from its two decks. Planning a retreat, workshop, or family reunion HQ? Kinship Place is a timber-framed meeting and lodging space with floor-to-ceiling glass, a full kitchen, projector/sound system, dinner service for 36, seating for meetings up to 40, and room for up to four overnight guests. All guests share free access to the kayaks/tubes, game room, and trails.

Nature's Nooks WI

Four-Season Fun Around Viroqua & Westby

Ten miles up the valley, the Kickapoo Valley Reserve spreads across 8,600+ acres with miles of hiking, biking, skiing, and a famously meandering paddle route—it’s a Driftless classic. Back in Viroqua, stretch your legs on Sidie Hollow’s lakeside trails or bring a rod for its 38-acre lake. When it’s time to toast the day, Vernon Vineyards pours local wines with ridge-top views. Winter visit? Check the Snowflake Ski Club calendar in nearby Westby—this volunteer-run complex hosts ski-jump events and even has a nine-hole golf course at the base of the jump come warm weather.

Insider Tips for Cabintimers

Bring water shoes—the river bottom is rocky in places. Anglers should know the West Fork here is Class I trout water and strictly catch-and-release on the property with barbless hooks (license required). Little ones in tow? The owners keep field guides, nature DVDs, and even a microscope on hand. No pets allowed, and you won’t miss cable—there’s fiber internet for streaming plus a rec room with pool, ping-pong, foosball and more for rainy-day fun. Best of all, Tom and Pam live on site, greet guests, and are happy to share paddling pointers or a favorite trail.

Why Book Direct

Skip third-party fees and talk with the folks who know this river bend best. Book direct with Nature Nooks Retreat for no service fees, no middleman, and authentic local expertise from your hosts. (You’ll also find them on RentWisconsinCabins.com if you’re browsing more Badger State stays.)

Lake George Cabins with Sandy Beach Days and Snowy Trail Nights: Merry Dale Resort, Rhinelander – A Listing Partner on RentWisconsinCabins.com Since 2012!

Looking for a classic Northwoods resort with real lake time and a family feel? Cabintimers, say hello to Merry Dale Resort on Lake George in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. This quiet bay on a 443–450-acre lake sets you up for sunny swim days, easy paddling, and year-round adventure. Book direct with the owners for local tips, flexible help, and no service fees.

Why Cabintimers Love Merry Dale

The beach gets sun all day thanks to southern exposure, so swimming is easy and warm. The gradual entry is great for little legs. Between dips, kids sprint back to a big park-style playground and open green space. Every cabin includes a 14′ aluminum boat, with kayaks and a canoe ready on shore; add a motor or ask about pontoon rentals if you want a longer cruise. Anglers find panfish, walleye, bass, northern pike, and musky right on Lake George. Come any season—the resort is open year-round for summer swims, fall color, winter trail rides, and spring fishing.

Cabin Joe from It’s Cabin Time® at Merry Dale Resort.

The Cabins (pick your Northwoods vibe)

Lakewood (2BR) — Fireplace, deck. Sleeps up to 4. A cozy base close to the action.

Lakeshore (3BR/3BA) — Fireplace, deck, washer/dryer, dishwasher, and AC. Sleeps up to 8. Spread out with room for the whole crew.

Lake Days, Trail Days, and Everything Between

On the water: Paddle the quiet bay at sunrise for glassy reflections. Pack a lunch and cruise the shoreline. Young anglers can start with bluegill off the pier; seasoned casters often target walleye and pike along weed edges.

On the trails: Rhinelander and Oneida County serve up hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails. When the snow flies, start right from the resort area and roam deep into the Northwoods.

Easy kid wins: Beach time, hot chocolate by the fire, then playground time. Repeat.

Nearby Things To Do (Rhinelander & beyond)

Hodag Park — Picnic by the water, catch a community concert, or watch a sunset over Boom Lake.

Rhinelander Brewing Company — Order a flight, grab merch, and toast the Northwoods.

Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest — Hike mellow loops, look for wildlife, or snowshoe after fresh snowfall.

Hodag Country Festival (July) — A summer staple for live country music fans. Plan early if your dates overlap.

Tips for Cabintimers

Bring properly sized life jackets for everyone. Wisconsin requires wearable PFDs for all watercraft. Launch early or later in the day for prime fishing and calm paddling; midday is made for the beach. Visiting in shoulder seasons? Ask about pet-friendly stays and the latest snowmobile trail updates.

Book Direct and Save

Skip third-party fees. Speak with local owners who know the lake, the fish, and the best trailheads. Check availability and send questions straight to the team:

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

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.

Sweethaven Resort in Union Pier, MI: six pet‑friendly cottages with hot tubs, fireplaces, and forest paths near Lake Michigan. A RentMichiganCabins.com member since 2013!
by

Sweethaven Resort in Union Pier, MI: six pet‑friendly cottages with hot tubs, fireplaces, and forest paths near Lake Michigan. A RentMichiganCabins.com member since 2013!

Cabintimers, meet your next Michigan escape in Harbor Country. Sweethaven Resort sits in Union Pier on 9+ wooded acres with only six standalone cottages, so there’s room to breathe between the pines. Expect screened porches and sunny decks, private hot tubs at several cottages, crackling fireplaces, and quiet paths that lead to campfire circles, a tree house, a horseshoe pit, and a volleyball court. It’s a low‑key retreat with high‑comfort touches—and it’s minutes from Lake Michigan beaches, wineries, galleries, and cafés.

Pick your cottage

The Wren (1 BR, sleeps 2–4): A snug one‑bedroom with a queen bed and gas fireplace. The galley kitchen opens to a comfy great room. Step out to your private deck for grilling under the oaks.

The Dove (1 BR, sleeps 2–4): Similar size to the Wren but adds a screened porch with a hot tub—perfect for steamy soaks after shoreline sunsets.

The Robin (2 BR, sleeps 4–6): A family‑friendly two‑bedroom with a gas fireplace and a screened porch that hides another hot tub. Popular for summer weeks.

The Cardinal (3 BR + loft, sleeps 6–10): Two baths (including a claw‑foot tub), a great room with an electric fireplace, and an outdoor hot tub. Plenty of sleeping space between the bedrooms, sleeper sofa, and loft futon.

The Martin House (3 BR, sleeps 6–8): A standout for gathering thanks to a 24′×30′ great room with a stone‑surrounded wood‑burning fireplace. Outside, a fenced patio opens to a private hot tub off the bedroom’s French doors.

The Heron House (5 BR, sleeps up to 14): Big, bright, and tucked deeper in the woods for extra privacy. There’s a vaulted great room with dining space, a large kitchen, front and screened back porches, a private fire pit, and a hot tub.

Every cottage includes a full kitchen, Wi‑Fi, TV/DVD, and a Weber grill. Several offer weekly rentals in July and August—plan ahead for those peak weeks.

On‑site extras Cabintimers love

Follow moss‑soft paths to discover the Bike Shed (grab complimentary bikes and yard games), a shady tree house, and wide lawns for friendly volleys and horseshoes. Screened porches keep summer evenings bug‑free; sunny decks call for morning coffee. Quiet hours keep the forest calm after dark. Bringing a four‑legged friend? Sweethaven is pet‑friendly—bring bedding and a leash, and always clean up so other travelers can bring their pups too.

Where you’ll be

Union Pier is one of the most convenient beach towns in Southwest Michigan—just off I‑94 (Exit 6). You’ll be about 1.5 hours from Chicago, 3 hours from Indianapolis, and 4 hours from Detroit. It’s a straight shot for weekenders and week‑longers alike.

Things to do around Union Pier & Harbor Country

Lake time. Spend your days on the Lake Michigan shoreline. Pack a picnic, hunt for beach glass, and stick around for those technicolor sunsets.

Trails & dunes. Warren Dunes State Park is a short drive and delivers towering dunes, wooded trails, and big‑lake views that reset your soul fast.

Wine & hops. Sip your way along the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail or let a local tour company do the driving while you sample. Farm markets keep the seasonal flavors going—bring a basket back to your cottage kitchen.

Entertainment & gaming. Catch live music at intimate venues like the Acorn Theater or a film at historic Vickers Theatre. Try your luck at Four Winds Casino or Blue Chip Casino, both within easy reach.

Golf & more. Tee up at nearby courses such as Whittaker Woods and Briar Leaf. Kids (and kids at heart) can hit Captain Mike’s Fun Park, rent beach gear and paddlecraft locally, or say hello to the animals at Washington Park Zoo.

How to book (and save)

Sweethaven keeps it personal: check each cottage’s calendar online, then send an inquiry or call the resort directly. Booking direct with the owners—longtime hosts Liz and Chuck—means no service fees, no middleman, and straight answers from locals who know Harbor Country. Rates vary by season and cottage size; larger homes typically rent by the week in July and August.

Cabintimers, if Union Pier is calling, grab your dates before they go. And if you’re mapping out a longer Midwest cabin loop, keep the It’s Cabin Time® regional sites handy for more book‑direct stays.

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?

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.

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.
