Pitlik’s Sand Beach Resort: Classic Northwoods Cabin Life on the Sugar Camp Chain. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2022!

If your radar is pinging for a true Up North cabin experience, set your sights on Pitlik’s Sand Beach Resort in Eagle River, Wisconsin. Since 1928, this family-run resort has welcomed generations to its shoreline on Sand Lake—part of the five-lake Sugar Camp Chain. Cabins are spread along a gentle slope with tall pines, sandy swim areas, boat docks, and that easygoing Northwoods pace that nudges you outside before breakfast and brings you back to a crackling fire after dark.

Cabins for couples, families, and the whole crew

Pitlik’s offers a mix of classic log cabins and larger rentals. Expect full kitchens, lakeside porches, cozy gathering spaces, and that satisfying “pair of boots by the door” simplicity. Some layouts cater to couples seeking quiet mornings on the pier; others are perfect for multi-family trips with bunkrooms, big tables for card games, and space to spread out. Pets are welcome in select cabins, and many rentals sit steps from the sand—so the coffee-to-kayak commute is about thirty seconds.

Quick Cabin Guide: Snappy blurbs for every stay

You & I – Cozy 1BR just steps from Sand Lake with a front-row sunrise view; couples love the quiet porch time and easy walk to the water.

Clearview – Modern 2BR close to shore with a queen room, twin room, and a bright lake outlook for morning coffee duty.

Oakcrest – A 2BR classic with tub/shower and an easy lakeside vantage—simple, comfortable, and close to the action.

Lagoon – Breezy 2BR near the beach with queen + twins and a tub/shower—quick launch for swims, paddles, and dock hangs.

Knotty Pine – One of the originals: roomy 3BR log cabin with wood-burning stove and screened porch—great for card nights after sunset cruises.

Outlet – 3BR peninsula perch where water wraps three sides; windows frame the shoreline and the vibe is all “waves for soundtrack.”

Bayview North – Full-log 2BR+loft with wood stove and fieldstone chimney; big deck connects to Bayview South for group getaways.

Bayview South – Twin to North: queen main floor, three twins in the loft, 1.5 baths, and a hilltop panorama over the Sand Lake thoroughfare.

Lakeview – 3BR full-log showpiece with spiral stair to the loft, two baths, and sliding doors to a patio aimed right at the lake.

Eagle’s Nest – 3BR full-log with loft sleeping, roll-in shower on main, and patio access—easy flow between lakeside lounging and fireside chats.

Chalet – 3BR lofted log cabin with stone chimney, spiral stair, and patio—room for eight and space to stash rods, boards, and boots.

Lookout – 3BR with that classic log-home warmth—wood stove, two baths, and a layout made for big breakfasts and bigger lake days.

Moonshine (upstairs lodge unit) – 2BR above the main lodge with open kitchen/living, laundry, and lake views; expect some downstairs buzz during restaurant hours.

Premier Lakehomes (non-resort, separate terms)
Chain Lake Hideaway – 2BR waterfront (plus sleeper) 1.5 miles from the lodge; gas fireplace, laundry, patio, private dock—pets considered.

Dam Lake Villa – 3BR lakefront (sleeps up to 9) 1.6 miles from the lodge; 3-season villa with built-in grill/bar, fireplace, laundry—pets considered.

Sand Lake Lakehouse – 4BR on Sand Lake with two levels of sleeping space, gas fireplace, modern kitchen, washer/dryer, southern-exposure deck—pets considered.

Eat & drink at the Lodge (and don’t miss Friday Fish Fry)

A huge part of the Pitlik’s experience happens at the main lodge. Stop in for hearty plates, Wisconsin tap favorites, and the resort’s famous Ultimate Bloody Mary. It’s social, it’s lively, and it’s always a short walk back to your cabin. When the fish fry bell rings on Friday, locals and resort guests make a beeline—arrive hungry.

Life on the Sugar Camp Chain

Five connected lakes—Sand, Dam, Chain, Stone, and Echo—mean endless routes for pontoon cruising, paddling, and fishing. Anglers chase panfish, bass, walleye, and yes, musky. The sandy swim area is friendly for kids, and calm morning water is tailor-made for paddleboards. Bring or rent a boat and spend the day lake-hopping, then drift back to your pier as loons call across the bay.

Four seasons of play

Summer is for swims, s’mores, and sunny boat days. Fall turns the shoreline into a fiery color show with cool nights perfect for the fireplace. Winter flips the script: Eagle River is a snowmobile capital with state trails linking right from the resort, plus cross-country skiing, ice fishing, sledding, and nearby downhill options. Spring? Quiet woods, migrating birds, and glassy, crowd-free water.

Nearby things to do in Eagle River & St. Germain

You’re a short drive from mini-golf, go-karts, horseback riding, local events, and trail systems. Golfers can pick from several public courses. Rain in the forecast? Pop into town for a museum stop, a bakery run, or a browse through outfitter shops. Winter visitors should mark the World Championship Snowmobile Derby on the calendar—part spectacle, part tradition.

Why Cabintimers book direct at Pitlik’s

Cabintimers know: booking direct with the resort is the smart move. You skip third-party service fees, get accurate availability, and talk with people who actually know which pier gets morning sun and which cabin has the roomiest table for your board-game tournament. You’ll also hear about shoulder-season savings, holiday openings, and boat rental details straight from the source.

Trip-planning tips

  • Bring layers. Even in July, evenings by the lake feel cooler than town.
  • Pack a lightweight tackle kit and a pair of camp shoes that can get wet.
  • Plan a shore lunch. Fresh fish, lemon, butter, a cast-iron pan—done.
  • Schedule at least one “stay put” day. No driving, just dock time, paddling, lodge snacks, repeat.

Ready to become part of the tradition? Explore accommodations, check dates, and contact Pitlik’s Sand Beach Resort directly to book like a Cabintimer—no middleman, no extra fees, all the local intel.

Hyde-A-Way Bay Resort on Birch Lake, Hackensack MN — Cabins, Boats, and Classic Up North Fun. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2014!

Looking for a true Minnesota resort with space to spread out, a sandy beach for the kids, and serious fishing right out front? Hyde-A-Way Bay Resort checks all those boxes for Cabintimers chasing lake time and low-stress travel. This family-run spot sits on Birch Lake in Hackensack and delivers the easygoing rhythm we crave: mornings on glassy water, afternoons at the beach or on the trail, and evenings around the lodge swapping stories.

Why Cabintimers love Hyde-A-Way Bay

Hyde-A-Way Bay is built for groups. Bring your crew for a long weekend or gather the whole family for a reunion week. There are 16 clean, modern housekeeping cabins (from cozy one-bedroom to roomy four-bedroom layouts) plus a seasonal RV park with 14 sites. Interiors feature knotty pine character and practical comforts: kitchens with ranges and microwaves, refrigerators, dishes, and bed linens provided. You bring the towels and favorite snacks.

The new log lodge is the social heart: food and treats, laundry, games, gift shop, and comfortable seating. Kids love the pool table, arcade games, and jukebox. Parents love the convenience. Everyone loves the ice cream.

On-the-water perks

Birch Lake is a beauty with two connected basins and clear water that invites all-day play. Bring your own boat or rent from the resort — from basic fishing rigs to luxury boats and pontoons. There’s a protected dock area and a well‑equipped fish‑cleaning house with stainless tables, so the walleye-to-fish‑taco pipeline stays humming.

Non-anglers score plenty of lake fun too: free use of kayaks, canoes, hydro‑paddlers, and paddleboats. The beach has lounge decking for sun‑soaked reading sessions, and the volleyball and basketball courts keep the friendly rivalries alive.

Cabin lineup at a glance

  • 1–3 BR waterfront cabins that sleep 4–8, smart for families.
  • Big-group favorites: 4‑bedroom cabins (including options with 1.5 or 2 baths) that handle friend groups and reunions.
  • Cozy escapes: 1‑bedroom Cabin 16 for a quick couple’s retreat.
  • Smoke‑free cabins. Parking by each unit.

Seasonal RV Park

If your cabin has wheels, Hyde-A-Way Bay’s seasonal RV park sits on three acres just south of the resort. Sites include water, sewer, and internet; metered 50/30/20‑amp electric. Dock space and pets are available for an additional cost. RV guests enjoy the same resort amenities: beach, paddle craft, lodge concessions, coin‑op laundry, and plenty of room for lawn games. A Rainbow playground dedicated to the park keeps little ones busy.

About Birch Lake

Birch Lake spans 1,267 acres with two distinct basins (Lower Birch is shallower; Upper Birch reaches 45 feet and includes Hyde‑A‑Way Bay). Water clarity averages around 14 feet, with about 15 miles of shoreline and a 13‑acre island in the west basin. Translation for Cabintimers: space to roam, structure for fish, and great scenery from the dock.

What to do nearby

Hackensack punches above its weight. Snap the classic photo with Lucette Diana Kensack, Paul Bunyan’s sweetheart, then hop on the paved Paul Bunyan State Trail for miles of biking and strolling. Anglers seeking bait and local intel should swing by Swanson’s Bait & Tackle downtown. Time your visit for community festivals:

  • Sweetheart Days (July): parades, live music, and lakefront fun.
  • Back to Hack (January): winter games, ice fishing, a bonfire, and fireworks.

Craving a day trip? Head north to Walker for shops and Leech Lake views, or cruise to Brainerd and Bemidji along the trail corridor for breweries, parks, and galleries. This corner of the Laurentian Mixed Forest stays active all four seasons. Winter adds groomed snowmobile corridors that link Hackensack to Walker, Backus, and beyond along the Paul Bunyan and Heartland trail systems, plus fat‑tire biking, Nordic skiing, and festival fun when Back to Hack lights up January.

Winter at Hyde-A-Way Bay: ice fishing & sled miles

When the lake locks up, Birch turns into a quiet little city of pop‑ups and portables. Cabintimers chase walleye, northern pike, crappie, bluegill, and perch over classic mid‑lake structure and weed edges. Early and late ice can be hot for panfish; mid‑winter evenings are a steady walleye grind. Bring your favorite jigging spoons, tip‑ups, and a flasher. The resort’s protected shoreline makes a calm launch for walkers and sleds when conditions allow. Always check ice thickness daily and follow Minnesota DNR safety guidance—conditions change fast.

Snowmobilers get easy access to Paul Bunyan State Trail’s winter corridor with connections to the Heartland Trail. This gives you day‑ride loops to Walker/Leech Lake, Backus, and the lakes‑and‑pines country south toward Pequot Lakes. Expect well‑signed routes, club‑groomed flats, and plenty of places in town to fuel up and warm up.

Pro winter moves:

  • For panfish, hole‑hop shallow weed flats during sunny afternoons, then slide to the first break before dusk.
  • Walleye roam saddles and points near deeper basins; set a deadstick just off bottom while you jig.
  • On sled days, start early for fresh corduroy, then swing back to the resort before dark for a fry‑up.

Trip-planning tips for Cabintimers

  • Pack beach towels, life jackets for small kids, and your favorite spices for the fish fry.
  • Reserve boat rentals early during peak summer weeks.
  • Morning is prime time for calm paddles and wildlife sightings.
  • Fall color is huge here; late September into early October brings fiery shorelines. Winter brings quiet cabins, trails, and that satisfying crunch of fresh snow.
  • Winter kit: insulated boots, face buff, hand warmers, and a reliable headlamp. Bring an auger, spud bar, and ice picks. A small sled makes gear runs painless.
  • Before riding, check trail reports from local clubs and county groomers; carry a paper map as phone batteries fade in the cold.

Book direct and keep it simple

Cabintimers get the best value when they book direct with the owner/manager. No service fees. No middleman. Real, local advice on cabins, boats, and the best time to chase walleyes or explore the Paul Bunyan Trail.

Cabintimers’ Guide to Castle Rock & Petenwell Lake: Big Group Stays, Private Lakeside Escapes, and Pure Wisconsin Fun. Now Taking Direct Bookings at RentWisconsinCabins.com!

Looking for a Northwoods base that checks all the boxes for family reunions, multi-family adventures, golf trips, or a quiet couple’s recharge? My Favorite Home Away From Home manages a set of roomy vacation homes near Castle Rock Lake, Lake Petenwell, and the Wisconsin Dells. Book direct on their website for zero service fees and local host know‑how that makes planning easy.

Why Cabintimers love this corner of Wisconsin

Castle Rock Lake and Petenwell Lake deliver wide‑open water, sandy hangouts, and boat‑up eats. You’re minutes from Buckhorn State Park’s trails and wildlife, Roche‑a‑Cri’s stair climb to rock art and views, and Sand Valley Golf Resort’s links playground. Necedah National Wildlife Refuge is a must for birders. When you want splashy action, the Wisconsin Dells brings waterparks, go‑karts, boat tours, mini golf, and outlet shopping. Winter adds snowmobiling, tubing, and skiing at Cascade Mountain. It’s a year‑round playground.

Stay options (and what makes each one stand out)

Eagle Bluff Estate — sleeps 25+ | 8BR/5BA
A sprawling log‑style retreat one mile from Castle Rock Lake and about 20 minutes north of the Dells. Four living areas mean the early risers and the night owls both win. Two full kitchens handle reunion‑sized meals. The game room stacks the deck with Space Invaders arcade, PS4, foosball, pool table, and crafts corner. Outside, kick back around the fire ring, grill out, and spread out across five wooded acres with plenty of parking for boats, trailers, and toys.

Bear Cove Escape — sleeps 15 | 5BR/3.5BA
Your own hideaway on six wooded acres with a long, private drive. Two living rooms and a huge lower‑level game zone keep everyone entertained with pool, ping‑pong, air hockey, foosball, PS4, and movies. Deck and front porch time is non‑negotiable. You’re six minutes to a Wisconsin River boat launch, about 20 minutes to Castle Rock Lake, and an easy hop to the Dells, Cascade Mountain, and small‑town eats.

Hidden Lake Escape — sleeps 4–5 | 2BR/2BA
A stylish mid‑century‑leaning retreat on private Trout Lake with 150 feet of shoreline for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. The vaulted great room, hidden study stocked with books and games, and Fire TV setup make rainy‑day hours fly. Outside, linger in the private hot tub, then roast s’mores by the fire. It’s a peaceful base close to classic Wisconsin attractions.

Amenities Cabintimers actually use

Fast Wi‑Fi for remote work check‑ins. Smart TVs and Roku/Fire TV across common spaces and bedrooms. Fully stocked kitchens with coffee setups and basics like spices and oils. On‑site laundry for sandy socks and ski layers. Gas/charcoal grills, screened porches or decks, and plenty of parking for trailers and UTVs. Many homes welcome well‑mannered dogs, because the family mascot deserves lake time too.

My Favorite Home Away From Home on RentWisconsinCabins.com

Things to do nearby

On the water: Launch your own boat or rent pontoons and PWCs at Castle Rock Watersports. Book a scenic spin on The Cruisin’ Turtle from the Dirty Turtle Bar & Grill. Fish for walleye, bass, and panfish. Swim, paddle, and sandcastle your way through long summer days.
On land: Hike Buckhorn State Park and Roche‑a‑Cri. Spot cranes at Necedah National Wildlife Refuge. Tackle 36 holes at Sand Valley and Sedge Valley. In winter, chase fresh snow on local trails and point the car to Cascade Mountain for downhill laps.
In town: Head to the Dells for boat tours, waterparks, kid‑friendly attractions, and outlet shopping. Grab supper‑club classics and lakeside live music throughout the season.

Why book direct with My Favorite Home Away From Home

Third‑party sites add up to 18% in extra fees. Booking direct here means: no middleman, no platform add‑ons, and direct access to your local host for area tips, gear rentals, and honest advice about which home fits your crew. That’s more budget for bait, lift tickets, cheese curds, and a round at Sand Valley.

Trip‑planning nuggets

Group logistics are smooth here. Large dining areas and multiple living spaces help multi‑generation groups spread out, and two‑kitchen setups simplify big‑batch cooking. Bring your boats, trailers, ATVs, and snow toys—there’s room to park and nearby launches and trail access make it easy to get moving. Seasons matter in Central Wisconsin. Summer brings live music on the water, fall color pops along quiet county roads, winter means board‑game championships by the fireplace and stargazing from the hot tub, and spring migration turns the Necedah area into a bird‑watching festival.

Ashe County Cabin Rentals with Carolina Mountain Vacations: Blue Ridge stays near West Jefferson, Boone & the New River. Now Taking Direct Bookings Through RentNorthCarolinaCabins.com!

Cabintimers, if you crave winding parkway views, lazy river afternoons, and starry-night hot-tub soaks, put Ashe County, NC on your radar. Carolina Mountain Vacations manages a curated mix of cabins across the High Country—close to West Jefferson, Boone, Blowing Rock, Todd, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s the quieter side of the North Carolina mountains, with wide-open views and small-town flavor that rewards slow travel.

Why Cabintimers love this corner of the Blue Ridge

Location that makes weekending easy. From Charlotte or Greensboro, you’re here in about two hours; Raleigh–Durham is roughly three. That means more time mountaining, less time car-sitting.

Cabins for how you actually travel. Filter for pet-friendly stays, private hot tubs, fast Wi‑Fi, or A/C. Whether it’s a couples’ reset, a friend trip, or the annual family summit, you’ll find layouts that match your crew and your budget.

Four-season play. Spring brings rhododendron hikes and bike rides; summer means New River paddles and porch naps; fall erupts in color along the Parkway; winter delivers ski days and snow tubing within a short drive. The mountains don’t clock out—neither should your adventure.

Nearby things to do (save this list)

Blue Ridge Parkway: Roll the overlooks, hop on short trails, pack a picnic, and chase those golden-hour panoramas.

New River: One of the oldest rivers on the planet runs gentle through Ashe County—perfect for canoeing, kayaking, or tubing. Bonus points if your rental sits along the water.

Grandfather Mountain & Linville: Swinging Bridge selfies, wildlife habitats, and serious hiking—easy day trips.

Virginia Creeper Trail: Coasting on a rail-to-trail route in Whitetop, VA is pure joy. Bike shuttle up, grin all the way down.

Tweetsie Railroad: A nostalgic stop for families near Blowing Rock. It’s kitschy in the best way.

West Jefferson arts & eats: Stroll murals and galleries, stock the cabin with Ashe County Cheese, then explore breweries and barbecue.

Planning tips from a local manager (aka your mountain concierge)

  • Book direct with Carolina Mountain Vacations for the best selection, no platform service fees, and real humans who know every switchback. You’ll get guidance on roads, 4WD needs, heater quirks, and the perfect porch for sunrise.
  • Ask about seasonal specials. Midweek freebies and shoulder-season deals pop up—especially in October and early December.
  • Mind the mountain roads. Some cabins require AWD/4WD in winter or after heavy rain. Pack that common sense with your hiking socks.
  • Match your vibe. Seeking privacy? Aim for ridge-perched cabins at the end of a gravel road. Traveling with the crew? Look for bigger footprints near West Jefferson for quick town runs.

Sample cabin features you’ll see

Private hot tubs • Firepits • Mountain-view decks • Gas/wood fireplaces • Wi‑Fi for remote work breaks • Smart TVs for movie nights • Full kitchens built for pancake diplomacy • Pet‑friendly options so the dog can finally sniff Appalachian air.

When to go

  • Spring (March–May): Wildflowers, cooler temps, fewer crowds.
  • Summer (June–August): River time all the time—book ahead for popular weeks.
  • Fall (late September–early November): The leaf show is real. Consider midweek to stretch your budget.
  • Winter (December–February): Fireplaces and ski days; watch for storm windows and road conditions.

Ready to plan?

Browse the Carolina Mountain Vacations listings, pick your cabin filters (pet-friendly, hot tub, Wi‑Fi, A/C), scan the specials, and book directly with the owner/manager to skip fees and gain local expertise. This isn’t a transaction; it’s a relationship with people who live where you’re vacationing—and that makes your trip better.

Lake George Vacation Rentals Done Right: Northern Living NY’s Lakefront Homes, Dock Space, Pet-Friendly Stays & Concierge Perks. A RentNewYorkCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2015!

Cabintimers, when the Adirondacks call, Lake George answers with glassy coves, island-spotted views, and mornings that smell like pine and pancakes. Northern Living NY builds on that magic with a portfolio of vacation homes and estates that range from cozy hideouts to multi-home compounds for the whole crew. Sort by sleep count, grab lakefront options with rentable dock space, browse pool and pet-friendly stays, even filter for Saratoga Racetrack weeks. It’s cabin time with choices.

Northern Living Vacation Rentals in Lake George, NY keeps planning simple: select by stay type (boat-friendly, family-friendly, lakefront, secluded, winter) or jump straight to Lake George cabins. Many listings highlight exactly what Cabintimers crave—hot tubs, fireplaces, lake access, and those golden words: dock space. For bigger gatherings, the estates category covers large-group configurations where everyone gets a real bed and a better story.

Why Cabintimers Book With Northern Living NY

Direct access to local pros matters. Northern Living’s concierge team can line up boat and kayak rentals, set you up with a private chef, arrange farm-fresh food deliveries, and help with event planning. Translation: you focus on sunrise paddles; they handle logistics. If you don’t see the service listed, they invite you to ask—they’ll try to make it happen.

They also publish practical, boots-on-the-ground guides. Use their “Things to Do” hub to explore Lake George Village, Bolton Landing, Lake Luzerne, Fort Ann, and Queensbury—including links to lakefront stays, pet-friendly properties, and rentals with dock space. When you want the short list without doom-scrolling, call or message the team for concierge-level suggestions.

Eating well is part of cabin culture. Northern Living’s dining guides span waterfront patios, craft beverages, igloo dining in winter, and town-by-town picks from Bolton Landing to Queensbury. Their roundups make it easy to plan a progressive dinner or just find the right pizza after a long day on the water.

Trip-Building Highlights Around Lake George

Morning: coffee on the deck, then a slow cruise along the islands if you’ve booked dock space. Midday: swap between coves and cliffside lookouts, or head into Bolton Landing for lunch. Evening: fire pit, stars, and that little ritual where everyone lists one “best moment.” The Northern Living catalog makes all of this plug-and-play, from two-person retreats to estates like Dockside, Huddle Bay, and Grand Shore Haven with water access and gathering space to spare.

Saratoga + Four-Season Play

Visiting for the Saratoga meet? Filter for Saratoga Racetrack rentals so your crew can split time between the track and the lake. Winter folks, cue igloo dining, ice bars, and quiet trails; spring brings waterfalls and early paddles; fall is leaf-peeping from the deck. Their seasonal content and service menu keep the fun rolling, no matter when you sneak away.

Book Direct. Always.

Coco’s Lodge on Long Lake: screen-porch breakfasts, boat-to eats, and big-lake days for Cabintimers. A RentWisconsinCabins.com listing partner since 2018!

COCO'S LODGE WI

Here’s a Northwoods basecamp that understands the assignment: put you close to the water, keep you cozy, and make it effortless to get outside. Coco’s Lodge sits on a secluded, pine-framed acre with 100 feet of sandy shoreline on 3,300-acre Long Lake near Stone Lake, Wisconsin. The lakeside screen porch, big deck, and private dock pull the day forward—coffee, swims, boat rides, repeat.

Inside, the cabin is set up for simple comfort. You’ve got a fully stocked kitchen, an 8-cup drip plus Keurig, and a breakfast nook near the gas fireplace for those cooler mornings. Central A/C keeps summer stays crisp. Tech and downtime are covered with Wi-Fi, Roku TV, YouTube TV, Disney+, and Discovery+. Kids (and the young-at-heart) will put in serious hours on the Rave water trampoline. There’s even an Ooni propane pizza oven for lakeside pies.

Sleeping spaces fit up to eight Cabintimers: a lakeside primary bedroom with its own deck, a second queen bedroom, and a loft with a queen plus two twins. The bathroom is roomy, and there’s an outdoor shower for easy rinse-offs after the lake. Evenings land at the bonfire ring for s’mores and sky-watching.

Why Long Lake works for adventure people (and relaxation people)

Long Lake is a big-water playground known for walleye and miles of shoreline to explore. Bring your boat and use the dock and covered lift, or rent nearby from Dave’s Outboard or Bees N Trees. Need bait or a last-minute lure? Long Lake Bait & Tackle is on the list.

COCO'S LODGE WI

Food by boat? Yes—hit Lincolnwood Bar & Grill, The Landings, Woody’s on Long, and The Hive for coffee, treats, and fuel. All are accessible by water or road, which simplifies group plans and snack emergencies.

Golfers can play Butternut Hills just down the road. Winter folks will appreciate quick access to regional snowmobile trails, with conditions and maps posted by Washburn County and the DNR. The Tuscobia Trail and Wild River Trail deliver long, scenic rides when the flakes stack up.

Not every hour needs to be on the lake. Stone Lake, Hayward, Spooner, Rice Lake, and Shell Lake are all within about 30 minutes for groceries, events, shopping, and rainy-day diversions—still close enough that you’re back on the dock for sunset.

Quick planning notes for Cabintimers

Summer rates are listed at $389 per night with a 7-night minimum. Fall/Winter/Spring runs $269 per night with a 2-night minimum. Holidays and special events are $532 per night and carry a varied minimum. Payment is due at booking, and there’s a refundable $1,000 damage deposit; check the site for the cancellation schedule and any seasonal updates before you lock dates.

COCO'S LODGE WI

House basics: check-in at 3:00 p.m., check-out at 10:00 a.m.; max occupancy 8; children welcome; no pets; no ATVs on the property; no smoking. Simple, clear, easy.

Book direct and keep more for the fun stuff

Cabin Time at Coco’s Lodge on Long Lake is all about skipping middlemen. Reach out to the owner to book directly—no service fees, real local expertise, and faster answers on boats, snowmobile conditions, and where to score the best Friday fish fry. Then build an itinerary that loops from dock time to boat-to eats to late-night bonfires. That’s how memories stick.

Quiet-Water Cabin Life at Our Great Escape on Lost Land Lake, Hayward WI. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2017!

Cabintimers, if your heart beats a little slower when waves kiss a sugar-sand shoreline, you’ll feel right at home at Our Great Escape (OGE) on Lost Land Lake. This is a classic Northwoods lakefront home near Hayward, Wisconsin with a twist: it sits on one of the region’s Quiet Lakes. Boats idle. Loons call. Sunsets lean west across Wilson Bay. It’s cabin time, the way it should be.

Location and vibe
Lost Land Lake lies inside the Chequamegon National Forest east of Hayward. It connects to Teal Lake by a gentle channel. The Quiet Lakes carry a 10‑mph speed limit and no wake near shore, so paddlers, swimmers, and anglers rule the day. You can hear the wind in the pines from the screened porch. You can watch stars appear while the fire crackles on the shore. Simple evenings here feel big.

The lakehome
OGE is a four‑bedroom, three‑bath ranch‑style home with an airy great room and a two‑story river‑rock fireplace. Most living is on one level. A cozy loft overlooks the gathering space. Big windows face the water, so the outdoors follows you inside. The kitchen is ready for real meals. A large dining table brings everyone together. Two bedrooms have en‑suite baths, and there’s a third full bath between the remaining bedrooms. Comfort and space mean multi‑generation trips work well.

Beach, dock, and play
The home rests about fifty feet from 183 feet of sugar‑sand beach with weed‑free swimming. The shoreline sits in a protected cove inside Green Point on Wilson Bay. West‑facing views serve up golden hour and honest‑to‑goodness stargazing. A 40‑foot dock with a bench is ready for morning coffee and fish stories. An included 14’ Alumacraft V‑hull sets you up for sunrise trolling or a lazy tour of the bay. Need a bigger boat? A local marina in the same bay offers motor and pontoon rentals just minutes away by water or road.

Why anglers love it
Lost Land Lake is known for musky, walleye, northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, and bluegill. Slow‑speed rules keep waves down and shorelines quiet. That’s good for young anglers learning to cast, and it’s great for the evening topwater bite. Bring your favorite bucktails and jigs. Keep a camera ready for bald eagles, otters, and loons.

Comforts that matter
This is a licensed, inspected seasonal vacation rental that takes cleanliness seriously. Professional cleaners reset the home between guests, and a laundry service turns linens crisp. There’s central gathering space for rainy‑day card games, plus that screened porch for bug‑free nights. Sorry, no pets.

Seasonal details
OGE hosts Cabintimers late spring through September. Early‑June weeks can be the best value, with cool nights and hungry fish. Mid‑summer means sand‑castle days and warm water. September turns quiet and golden. Plan ahead. Lakeside calendars fill fast on the Quiet Lakes.

Things to do near Hayward
Hayward sits a short drive away with the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, local outfitters, and Main Street shops. Watch world‑class pros cut, roll, and run during Hayward’s summer lumberjack shows. Golfers can swing at Big Fish Golf Club, a Pete Dye design. Trail fans can hit the CAMBA singletrack or cruise rolling forest roads. When you want a change of water, paddle a section of the Namekagon River, part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Evenings are for a classic Northwoods supper club, where Friday fish fry and an old fashioned just make sense.

Why this stay works for Cabintimers
You want space for your crew. You want a real beach your kids can wade. You want quiet water, not a parade of jet skis. You want a dock, a porch, and a kitchen that can handle pancakes and shore lunch. That mix is rare. OGE checks those boxes with room to spare.

Book direct and save
Skip platform markups. Book directly with the owner at Our Great Escape for no service fees and the kind of local insight only owners can share. Ask about seasonal openings, best weeks for swimming or musky, and where to launch kayaks on a calm morning. Direct is better. No middleman.

Trip‑planning nuggets
Bring water shoes for the kids even though the beach is sandy. Pack binoculars for eagles. Plan one sunset paddle and one early‑morning coffee on the dock. Grab your trail shoes and a bike rack if you ride. Save a day for Hayward’s hall‑of‑fame selfie inside the giant musky. Simple rituals like these become the stories you tell next winter.

Ready to be a Cabintimer on the Quiet Lakes? Start here, breathe deep, and let the shoreline set your pace.
