Two Ways to Unplug at Camp Flambeau on Wisconsin’s Fence Lake! Listed on RentWisconsinCabins.com Since 2021.

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.

Grab Your Crew—Rustic Log Cabin Retreat on Lake Leelanau. A RentMichiganCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2022!

Cabintimers, picture this: a 5,000-square-foot log home spread over a private acre, steps from a brand-new dock on Lake Leelanau. Rustic Log Cabin Retreat sleeps twenty in five roomy bedrooms with thirteen fresh beds and three full baths. There’s space for grandparents, cousins, and the kids’ best friends too.

Room to play
Rain or shine, the fun keeps rolling. A full game room brings out friendly rivalry with ping-pong, air hockey, darts, and an indoor basketball hoop. Two smart-TV zones let sports fans and movie buffs watch in peace. The furnished kitchen packs double fridges, so stock up at Leland Mercantile and keep the crowd fueled. A long dining table turns every meal into a gathering.

Great Northern air
Step onto the wraparound porch for morning coffee. Fire up the gas or charcoal grill, then circle the lakeside fire pit when the stars pop out. Bring the boat—dock it across the street and launch just seven blocks north. Snow on the ground? Return to a toasty gas fireplace after carving turns at The Homestead or riding the nearby snowmobile trail network.

Lake Leelanau & beyond

Water days: Cruise the peninsula with Leelanau Watersports or troll for walleye before sunset.
Trail time: Hike Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail or tackle Empire Bluff for sweeping dune-top views.
Taste local: Sip Riesling at Black Star Farms, fizz at Mawby, then chase it with fresh cherries from Cherry Republic in Glen Arbor.
History fix: Ferry to South Manitou Island for lighthouse climbs and shipwreck lore.
Shop strolls: Traverse City’s Front Street serves craft brews, indie bookstores, and record shops; nearby Suttons Bay mixes art galleries with beach snacks.

Book direct, save more
Skip platform fees. Talk with the owner for insider fishing holes, the best M-22 scenic pull-offs, and where to spot Petoskey stones. That local knowledge is priceless—and it’s only a quick message away on RentMichiganCabins.com.

Lake Wabana’s Birch-Tree Escape: WA-GA-THA-KA Resort Lists 7 Cabins Partnering With RentMinnesotaCabins.com.

Just 13 miles north of Grand Rapids, MN, WA-GA-THA-KA Resort spreads out along the gin-clear shoreline of Lake Wabana. Seven classic cabins—each with full kitchens, screened porches, and a private fire ring—sit among towering birch and pine. The Ojibwe name means “dwelling place among the birch trees,” and three generations of the Miner family still greet guests with stories, extra firewood, and a promise of easy lake days.

Life on the Water

Morning mist slips off the bay as loons whistle. Cabintimers grab a free canoe or paddleboat right from the dock, or troll Little Wabana’s rock points for walleye and smallmouth bass. Kids build sandcastles on the wide beach, spike a volleyball, then cool off with cannonballs from the swim raft. Even better—each cabin stay comes with unlimited split wood for the lakeside sauna and your nightly s’more session.

Classic Cabins, Smart Updates

Inside, knotty-pine walls frame big windows that pull the lake view indoors. New mattresses, dependable Wi-Fi, and modern appliances keep everyone comfy without stealing the spotlight from eagle sightings or sunset colors. Two-bedroom units fit small families; three-bedroom layouts stretch out for multigenerational crews up to six guests. Pets are welcome in select cabins, because fetch is always better off the dock.

On-Resort Fun

Cedar sauna with complimentary private time slots
Game room stocked with pool, ping-pong, and “Wabanapoly”
Playground, volleyball court, and grassy yards for ladder-golf
Pontoon, fishing-boat, and motor rentals for exploring the 2,200-acre lake

Grand Rapids Day Trips

A short drive opens up even more northern Minnesota flavor:

Forest History Center – walk a 1900s logging camp and canopy trail
Judy Garland Museum – follow the yellow brick road to Oz exhibits
Mesabi Trail – paved miles for bikes, skates, and strollers
Tioga Recreation Area – fast-flowing single-track for mountain bikes
Rapids Brewing Co. & Klockow Brewing – craft pints and live music at night
Myles Reif Performing Arts Center – concerts, comedy, and dance all year

Round out the itinerary with a latte from Brewed Awakenings or a scoop from the Old Central School ice-cream shop, then head back to your crackling campfire.

Why Book Direct?

Skip third-party fees and talk straight with the Miner family. They’ll tip you off to secret blueberry patches, the best walleye drift, and which cabin porch catches the longest sunset glow. Rates for three-bedroom units start at $1,295 per week when you reserve through their website. No service fees, no middleman—just lake time at a fair price.

Ready to trade screens for shoreline? Visit WA-GA-THA-KA.com today and lock in your preferred cabin before the summer calendar fills up.

Pinewood Cottage: A True Northwoods Base on the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage Celebrates 12 Years on RentWisconsinCabins.com

Cabintimers, picture arriving on Pine Road, rolling down the windows, and breathing in that fresh pine air. Pinewood Cottage sits right on the famous Turtle-Flambeau Flowage in Mercer, Wisconsin—your year-round headquarters for fishing, paddling, and trail riding. Walk a few steps to your private dock, hop in the complimentary 14-foot aluminum boat, and let the Flowage work its magic from sunrise to starlight.

Inside, the two-bedroom retreat is roomy enough for four. One queen bed and two twins mean friends or small families spread out in comfort. Start mornings in the fully stocked kitchen—coffee brewing, bacon sizzling on the stove—before planning the day’s adventure. Return to a full bath with a deep tub, perfect for soaking sore muscles after casting for walleye or roaring down Iron County’s legendary snowmobile Trail 9.

Outdoors, evenings gather around the fire-pit. Marshmallows toast, loons call, and a sky full of stars reminds you why this corner of the Northwoods keeps Cabintimers coming back.

Play Like a Local

Hook a trophy. The Flowage holds walleye, musky, and panfish galore. With private docking, you’re on the water in minutes.
Ride the trails. ATV and snowmobile routes 9, 10, 12, and 12A link right to the cottage driveway. Bring the machines—no trailer shuffling needed.
Chase waterfalls. Day-trip to nearby Potato River Falls or take the scenic drive to Copper Falls State Park.
Meet the “Loon Capital.” Downtown Mercer hosts the Loon Day arts fair, plus ice-cream shops, bait stores, and the famous Claire d’Loon statue for the photo album.
Festival hop. Plan around the Mercer Open All-Species Fishing Tournament in late June or July’s Run for a Vet & Independence Day fireworks.
Explore Manitowish Waters. Just south on Hwy 51, discover craft markets, lunchtime lakeside grills, and the North Lakeland Discovery Center’s easy hiking loops.

Why Book Direct?

Skip the traveler fees and talk with the owner who knows every hidden bay and trailhead. No service fees. No middleman. Pure local expertise.

Ready to anchor your next cabin trip? Reach out at PinewoodCottage or call 715-476-0032 and mention It’s Cabin Time®. Dates fill fast, especially summer Weeks.
