Picture this: You’re sipping your morning coffee on the porch, gazing out over the calm waters of Little Star Lake. It’s early, but you can already feel the promise of a perfect day ahead—whether it’s casting a line, cruising the lake, or simply soaking up the peace and quiet of the Northwoods. Welcome to Cozy Cottage, your gateway to the Manitowish Chain O’ Lakes, a true “Up North” treasure trove.

The Ultimate Lakeside Retreat

Nestled on a level lot, Cozy Cottage boasts a private dock that gives you direct access to the lake. With 58.5 miles of scenic shoreline on the Manitowish Chain, you’re never far from a new adventure. Whether you’re looking to spend the day boating, fishing, or just splashing around at the beach (look for the buoyed swimming area), this spot is a Northwoods paradise. Little Star Lake’s sandy shoreline is perfect for kids—and the young at heart!—to spend hours in the water. And when it’s time to wash off, there’s even a hand water pump for a bit of rustic charm.

Grill Masters Welcome

Speaking of rustic charm, let’s talk about the porch. Imagine this: You’re at the Weber grill, spatula in one hand and a cold drink in the other. The scent of sizzling burgers fills the air while you and your crew share stories of the day’s adventures. If grilling isn’t your thing, head inside to the well-stocked kitchen, equipped with all the essentials to whip up a feast.

Sleep Like a Log

When it’s time to rest up for another day of lakeside fun, Cozy Cottage has you covered. With two bedrooms—one with a queen bed and the other with two twins—you’ll drift off to sleep with the sound of the lake lapping against the shore. Oh, and there’s a full bath too, just in case you were wondering!

A Slice of History Next Door

Want to add a little thrill to your stay? Cozy Cottage is just a stone’s throw from the legendary Little Bohemia Lodge, where the infamous John Dillinger had his famous shootout with authorities. Not only is it a historical site, but it’s also where they filmed Public Enemies. After you soak up some history, walk over for a meal at Little Bo, where you’ll find friendly dining and quirky gifts. And don’t miss the Dock ‘N Shop—a floating retail boutique that’s as unique as it sounds!

Endless Activities, Year-Round Fun

Of course, your time at Cozy Cottage isn’t limited to the lake. Bring your own boat and dock it right out front, then set off to explore all 10 lakes of the Manitowish Chain. Whether you’re into fishing (think musky, bass, walleye, and more), biking, hiking, or just enjoying the natural beauty of the area, there’s no shortage of things to do.

If you’re lucky enough to visit in the fall, prepare for a stunning colorama experience as the Northwoods bursts into vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. Or, if winter is your season, the area transforms into a snowy wonderland with snowmobile trails, ski paths, and cozy nights by the fire.

Why Book Direct?

Now, here’s the cherry on top: When you book directly with Daniel and Debbie (the fantastic owners of Cozy Cottage), you skip the extra fees that come with platforms like VRBO and Airbnb. That means more of your vacation budget can go towards, say, a dinner at Little Bo or that extra fishing lure you’ve had your eye on. Plus, booking direct means you get local tips straight from the source. Daniel and Debbie are your personal guides to the best festivals, events, and activities in the area.

So, what are you waiting for? Cozy Cottage is calling your name, and the Northwoods are ready to welcome you. Whether it’s a family getaway, a romantic retreat, or just a much-needed break, this is the spot to make it happen.

Discover The Great Escape: A Wisconsin Cabin Retreat with a Twist

When you think of a Wisconsin getaway, you probably imagine a cozy cabin, a peaceful lake, and some quality time in nature. But what if we told you that your next Wisconsin vacation could be all that—plus your own movie theater, an indoor saltwater pool, and a private lake teeming with fish? Welcome to The Great Escape, where “cabin time” gets a serious upgrade.

Nestled on a whopping 175 acres of pure, unfiltered fun, The Great Escape isn’t just a cabin—it’s an entire vacation experience. Whether you’re looking to kick back and relax or go full-throttle on adventure, this spot has it all. And the best part? When you book directly with Tony (the owner), you skip those annoying Airbnb and VRBO fees. That’s more money for your vacation pizza fund, right?

What’s in Store?

The Great Escape offers not one but two lodging options: the Main House and the Bunkhouse. The Main House is where the magic begins, with three levels of awesomeness waiting to be explored. A stone fireplace welcomes you into the great room, with a wall of windows that look out over your private paradise. Open floor plans keep everyone connected, while the sleek, modern kitchen begs for some serious culinary creations (or maybe just snacks—no judgment here).

Need some fresh air? Take your meals out on the deck with panoramic views, or fire up the grill and go all-in on that Wisconsin BBQ vibe. When the day winds down, the lower level bar is the perfect spot to mix up a cocktail or two. And did we mention the indoor saltwater pool and hot tub? You can take a dip even when Wisconsin decides to show off its famous winter chill.

Over at the Bunkhouse, it’s game time—literally. An entire arcade room ensures that fun never stops. Whether you’re challenging someone to a billiards match or sneaking in a solo session at the pinball machine, boredom doesn’t stand a chance.

Sleep Like Royalty

With five bedrooms and seven bathrooms in the Main House, there’s room for everyone—and then some. The primary bedroom on the lower floor offers a king-sized bed, a private fireplace, and a seating area that opens onto the lawn. You might find yourself in a bit of a morning dilemma: stay in your cozy bed or make coffee and enjoy it by the private lake? Tough choices, we know.

The Bunkhouse ups the ante with four more bedrooms, including a bunk room that comfortably fits 11 twins, a daybed, and even a toddler bed. It’s perfect for a family reunion, group trip, or anyone who wants to channel their inner kid for a night.

Fun, Fun, and More Fun

There’s no shortage of things to do at The Great Escape. From the multiple fireplaces that keep you cozy all year round to the private lake complete with a beach gazebo, fire pit, and enough fishing to satisfy even the most avid angler, this property has it all. Swim, fish, hike, or just relax in one of the swinging chairs scattered across the property.

Wintertime visitors, you’re in luck too! Snowshoeing, sledding, and even a scenic drive to Cassville to spot bald eagles are just a few options. Oh, and don’t forget to check out the local brewery scene in nearby Potosi.

Make It Yours

Ready to book your stay at The Great Escape? Remember, booking directly with Tony means you avoid those pesky booking fees. So why not keep those extra funds for something more fun—like an extra round of drinks at Potosi Brewing Company or a few more marshmallows for your lakeside s’mores?

Don’t just settle for any Wisconsin cabin—make it The Great Escape and enjoy your next vacation to the fullest.

Does relying exclusively on platforms like VRBO and Airbnb for advertising your vacation rental business can have consequences?
by

Does relying exclusively on platforms like VRBO and Airbnb for advertising your vacation rental business can have consequences?

WE ASKED CHATGPT THIS QUESTION FOR ALL YOU RENTAL OWNERS AND LOCAL PROPERTY MANAGERS. HERE’S THE AI’s UNEDITED RESPONSE:

Positive Consequences

  1. Wide Exposure:
    • These platforms have a large user base, providing significant visibility and the potential to attract many bookings.
  2. Convenient Management Tools:
    • They offer integrated tools for managing bookings, payments, and communication with guests, simplifying the administrative aspects of running your rental.
  3. Trust and Security:
    • These platforms often provide security features like insurance, guest reviews, and verification processes that can increase trust and safety for both hosts and guests.
  4. Marketing and SEO:
    • VRBO and Airbnb invest heavily in marketing and SEO, ensuring that listings on their platforms are easily discoverable in search engines.

Negative Consequences

  1. High Fees:
    • Both platforms charge service fees to hosts and guests, which can reduce your overall profitability. These fees can also make your listing less competitive compared to direct booking options.
  2. Lack of Direct Communication:
    • Policies may restrict your ability to directly communicate with potential guests before booking, which can limit your ability to build rapport and provide personalized service.
  3. Dependence on Platform Rules:
    • You must adhere to the platform’s policies and guidelines, which can change at any time. This lack of control can impact your business operations.
  4. Algorithm Dependency:
    • Your listing’s visibility is subject to the platform’s algorithms, which can be unpredictable and beyond your control. Changes in the algorithm can significantly affect your booking rates.
  5. Brand Dilution:
    • By relying solely on these platforms, you might miss out on building your brand identity. Guests might associate their experience with the platform rather than your unique property.
  6. Limited Flexibility:
    • VRBO and Airbnb might impose restrictions on your pricing, availability, and cancellation policies, limiting your ability to tailor these aspects to your business needs.
  7. Reduced Repeat Business:
    • If guests book through these platforms, you might miss opportunities to establish direct relationships with them for future stays, impacting your repeat customer rate.

Conclusion

While VRBO and Airbnb offer substantial benefits, diversifying your marketing efforts can mitigate the risks associated with relying solely on these platforms. Utilizing a mix of direct booking websites like RentWisconsinCabins.com, RentMinnesotaCabins.com, your own website, and social media will help build a more resilient and profitable vacation rental business.
