North Twin Lake View Resort: Steps-to-the-water cabins + on-site pontoons in Phelps, WI. A RentWisconsinCabins.com listing partner since 2012!

Cabintimers, here’s the kind of Northwoods basecamp you tell friends about later. A flat, grassy lot that rolls right to the shoreline. Two cabins sitting just a few strides from the water (we’re talking 8–15 feet). And those 80-foot piers? They put you over fishy water fast—morning coffee in one hand, rod in the other. Add on-site fisherman-style pontoon rentals and a screened fish-cleaning house, and you’ve got a lake-life setup that’s hard to beat on North Twin Lake in Phelps, Wisconsin.

Why Cabintimers love this spot

  • Waterfront made easy. No steep stairs. No huffing gear. Just level ground from cabin door to the lake. Swim from the shoreline as the water gradually deepens, or tie up at the long piers.
  • Serious fishing credentials. North Twin (2,880 acres) links with South Twin (another 780 acres) and produces walleye, musky, perch, and bass. Ice fishing is excellent too. Clean your catch in the modern, screened house with lights, power, and running water.
  • Boats ready on-site. Bring your rig or rent fisherman-focused pontoons and an Aluma Craft with GPS/depth finders, live wells, and trolling motors.
  • Walk-to conveniences. A gas/bait/convenience store sits a short walk away. Restaurants and a lakeside Irish sports bar are an easy stroll or a fun boat ride.
  • Open year-round. Come for summer swims, fall color and hunting weekends, winter snowmobiling and hardwater action, and spring walleye runs.

Pick your place at North Twin Lake View Resort

Walleye Inn — 3BR, sleeps up to 8
Just 15 feet from the water with an unobstructed lake view. Rebuilt in 2008, this year‑round home has 1.5 baths, a dishwasher, microwave, Keurig, washer/dryer, and a 46″ TV with Blu‑ray and surround sound. Bedrooms: one queen; second with queen bunks; third with single bunks. Air conditioning included.

Perch Inn — 2BR, sleeps up to 6
A newer 1,250‑sq‑ft home about 120 feet from shore with a gas fireplace, 1.5 baths, washer/dryer, dishwasher, extra‑large fridge, Keurig + drip coffee makers, and custom hickory cabinets. Big stamped‑concrete patio with a pub table and high‑back swivel chairs—prime territory for golden‑hour hangs.

Loon Lodge — 3BR, sleeps up to 10
This high‑end, brand‑new build sits just 8 feet from the lake for that splash‑zone feeling. Two full baths, granite countertops, custom vanities, a 28‑cu‑ft fridge, dishwasher, microwave, Keurig, main‑floor laundry, and a 50″ TV with surround sound and outdoor speakers. Patio pub table faces the water. Reserved for guests who’ll take excellent care of the hand‑crafted furnishings.

All three homes include fast Wi‑Fi, cable/satellite TV with DVD, fully stocked kitchens, bedding and linens (bring your own bath towels/washcloths), and air conditioning.

Boat rentals for anglers and cruisers

On-site fleet highlights typically include 20–22′ fisherman‑style pontoons with 50–90HP motors plus the 16.5′ Aluma Craft. Most rigs are set up with GPS/depth finders, live wells, LakeMaster chips, trolling motors, and power anchors—great for chasing structure, slip‑bobbering for walleye, or easing along a weed edge for musky.

Pro tip: Pair a half‑day cruise with a shoreline dinner by the fire ring. That long pier makes loading and unloading a breeze.

Things to do around Phelps, Eagle River & Land O’ Lakes

  • Eat & sip. Boat across North Twin to Dublin’s Irish Sports Bar for 17 taps and hearty pub food. In town, grab ice cream or candy and soak up a small‑town stroll.
  • Trail time. Bring hiking boots for nearby forest trails. Winter brings miles of groomed snowmobile routes and quiet cross‑country skiing.
  • Easy day trips. Eagle River and Land O’ Lakes are about 15 minutes away for shopping, outfitters, golf, and more up‑north flavor.

Quick planning notes

  • Open year‑round. Weekly and daily stays available; rates vary by home and season.
  • Policies. No pets and no indoor smoking. Check‑in at 2:00 p.m.; check‑out at 9:00 a.m.
  • What to pack. Bath towels and personal washcloths, shoreline water shoes, and your favorite coffee pods.
  • Payments & deposits. A modest reservation deposit holds your dates; balances are due ahead of arrival. Boat rentals require a refundable security deposit. (All terms are subject to change.)

Eve & Pine: A Northwoods Lake House Where Cabintimers Can Stay, Relax & Play. A Listing Partner on RentWisconsinCabins.com Since 2023!

If “lake time” is your love language, Eve & Pine delivers it from sunrise swims to starry-night fires. This four-bedroom, 3.5-bath lake home near Minocqua is built for group memory-making—bring the whole crew (up to 14), the fishing rods, and yes, the dog. Inside you’ll find an airy open-concept main level, a basement bar for game nights, and a cozy 3-season porch for that first cup of coffee. Outside, the shoreline is sand-bottom and swimmer-friendly—exactly what families hope for on a full-rec Northwoods lake.

Why Cabintimers love this spot

Eve & Pine sits about 14 minutes from downtown Minocqua, so you can split your days between quiet on the water and the energy of town. Fast Starlink Wi-Fi keeps remote workers and teens happy; evenings flow from grilling on the deck to stories by the firepit. Two king bedrooms, a queen, and a loft with two full-over-full bunks make bedtime easy for mixed-age groups. Four TVs mean nobody argues over the game.

Your lake, your pace

You’re on Shishebogama Lake with access to Gunlock—known for clear water, bays made for exploring, and classic Northwoods fishing: musky, walleye, bass, and panfish. With 700 acres to roam (max depth ~42 feet), bring the boat or rent one nearby and spend the day hopping between coves. When the wind dies at sunset, the water turns to glass—perfect for a lazy paddle.

Minutes to Minocqua fun

When it’s time to play in town, don’t miss:

  • Min-Aqua Bats Water Ski Shows — legendary, free summer shows on Lake Minocqua (Wed/Fri/Sun at 7 pm in season). Arrive early and cheer on the pyramids. Min-Aqua Bats Water Ski Show+1

Winter Cabintimers, you’re in luck: this corridor is a snowmobile playground, and Eve & Pine’s location puts you close to trails and frozen-lake fun. (Anglers, bring the tip-ups.)

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.

ItsCabinTime.com Regional Websites Encourages Guests to Book Direct for Better Prices, More Options, and Hassle-Free Vacations

With so many ways to book vacation rentals, it can be tough to know which is the best option. Online travel agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb and Vrbo are often at the top of the list, but there are several reasons why guests should book direct with a local rental agency instead. Try ItsCabinTime.com now.

Booking Direct Provides Better Pricing

Direct booking websites provide the best pricing with exclusive deals, accurate, up-to-date pricing, and last-minute savings. When you reserve a vacation rental through an OTA, you’ll have to pay extra fees and charges that can reach as high as 20% of your total reservation cost. By booking directly on a property manager’s website, you can avoid these added costs and get access to the best properties and the best rates.

Save Money on Fees

OTAs make money by charging both the property owner and the guest a fee. These fees can add up quickly, especially if you’re booking a weekly stay. When you book direct, you won’t have to pay these fees, which can save you hundreds of dollars on your vacation rental.

A Better Vacation Experience when Booking Directly

Local rental agencies have a better understanding of the local area and can provide guests with recommendations for restaurants, activities, and attractions. They can also help guests with anything that goes wrong during their stay, such as a broken appliance or a lost key. OTAs often have customer service representatives who are not familiar with the local area, so they may not be able to provide the same level of service.

Direct Contact with Management Team

When you book direct, you will have direct contact with the management team from the moment you start considering one of their vacation rentals. This means that you can get answers to your questions quickly and easily, and you can be sure that your reservation will be handled properly. OTAs often have a long wait time for customer service, and it can be difficult to get in touch with the right person.

More Rental Options

Property managers often only list a certain selection of their vacation rentals on OTAs. This is because OTAs charge high fees, and property managers want to save money. When you book direct, you will have access to the full inventory of vacation rentals, including the newest and most popular properties.

Consistent Guest Experience

Local rental agencies are committed to providing guests with a consistent and high-quality experience. They have a team of experienced staff who are dedicated to making sure that guests have a memorable vacation. OTAs often have a high turnover rate of staff, which can lead to inconsistent service.

Book Direct Day

Every year on the first Wednesday in February, property managers around the country celebrate Book Direct Day. This day is designed to educate guests on the benefits of booking directly with property management companies vs the OTAs. Often, property managers run Book Direct Day Specials to promote booking direct.

Looking for Affordable Vacation Rentals?

If you’re looking for the affordable vacation rentals, look no further than ItsCabinTime.com’s collection of regional websites. We have a unique variety of US vacation rentals to choose from, including cabins, cottages, lodges, condos, campers, and houses. We also offer a variety of amenities, such as pools, hot tubs, private docks, and game rooms. Our websites are ready to help you plan your next vacation. Book direct today and save!

Why we choose #WI #Cabins and Cottages for a Vacation over Hotels. A Biased View :)

We truly believe that Wisconsin Cabin Rentals offer some of the best memories ever made. Kids seem to enjoy the lakes and wide-open spaces and parents love giving the freedom to them while also experiencing a peaceful setting amongst nature. There is nothing like sitting outside for dinner on a picnic table with great food and a view of the lake or flowing river. Being able to roast marshmallows over the fire and catch fireflies under the stars are moments that last forever. We have compiled a list of reasons why we love renting cabins, cottages, lodges and homes.

Image

  1. Hotels seem to force families or friends in separate living quarters, interrupting quality time and laughs created by spur of the moments that arise.
  2. Hotels have increasingly limited the number of guests in each room, only allowing 4-5 in a room, making you rent out several rooms, which can get expensive.
  3. Pets are part of the family and vacationers want them to come on vacation. Many cabins and cottages are accommodating towards your pets.
  4. Parking can be cumbersome when renting a hotel. Whether you park on the other side or 4 floors down, no one wants to mess with that.
  5. Don’t be suckered into going out to eat for all your meals. That can be costly. It can also mean taking time out of your day to make sure the family is presentable for dinner establishments and let’s face it, kids are always messy.
  6. It’s pretty hard to star gaze through a hotel window. With wide-open spaces and a yard to lay a blanket down, you can’t beat the star-gazing at a cabin.
  7. There’s no quiet hours. We’re not saying let’s get crazy but no one wants to have to whisper to their family down a hallway to get ice when they can talk normally on their way to the kitchen.
  8. Amenities in a cabin and a cottage can sometimes be pricey in a hotel. Take for instance fireplaces, boat rentals, Jacuzzis, full size kitchens, screen porches. Some cabins can be more rustic if back to nature suits you.
  9. When you return the next year, the hosts actually can remember you and your preferences.
  10. Cabins and Cottages are KID FRIENDLY. They let the kids run around, squeal with delight, chase after the dog, fish off the dock, swim at the beach, climb a tree and tell ghost stories around the fire.

YOU CAN’T HAVE YOUR OWN PRIVATE DECK AT A HOTEL.

Thinking About a #Northern #Wisconsin Getaway This Summer?

When you think UP NORTH, think Wisconsin. Wisconsin may be known for the beer and cheese but that isn’t all it’s famous for. The people are welcoming, the fish are biting, the sweet-smelling pines are whistling, and the wildlife peeking out from their burrows. Northern Wisconsin offers anything a person can ask for.

For the outdoor adventurer, there is nothing short of things to do in Wisconsin. The Cable area has been nationally ranked by CNN and the American Hiking Society as owning some of the best hiking trails in the nation. This could be because of the uninterrupted landscape of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. In some areas you can even see Lake Superior. These trails are also traveled by mountain bikers.

Image

If the sound of waves and running water can instantly calm you, you’re in for a treat. Wisconsin boasts over 14,000 lakes and northern Wisconsin has some of the best beaches. Visit Lake Superior and you will never need to leave the state again for a vacation. You can go boating, fishing, surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, swimming, frolicking or really just about anything you want to do in the water, you can do it here.

Image

Avoid the high travel costs of overpopulated beaches and get the trip of a lifetime cheaper. Rent a house for the whole family! Wisconsin has wonderful cabins, cottages, lodges and vacation rentals perfect for all your needs. Check it out at RentWisconsinCabins.com

Northern Wisconsin offers unique shopping experiences, wine tours, boardwalks, island cruising, and plenty of great hearty food. After all, this is America’s Dairyland.

For fishing enthusiasts, Northern Wisconsin is your Musky, Bass, and Walleye wonderland. Be sure to check to ask the owner of the Wisconsin vacation rental about local fishing guide services – be sure to know where to go!

Eagle River cabins (city is named appropriately due to the popular sightings of eagles), offers a great family vacation spot for summer months in the upper Midwest. Here they named it the “snowmobiling capital of the world” for its annual snowmobiling derby. This is widely popular here because of the well groomed miles of trails. A 4-season paradise.

For the fitness guru, Hayward is home of the famous Birkie. The Birkebeiner is a 88 kilometer trail system that attracts skiers, bikers and runners worldwide. Compare 45 Hayward cabins, and book directly with the owners to make sure you get the best rental rate!

Hunting wildlife is a great game as well and there is plenty to hunt. In the Minocqua area, there are 55 up north cabin rentals and hundreds of acres of public hunting forest available for hunting. Here you can find deer, snowshoe hare, woodcock, turkey, grouse, and even mink, otter, and muskrat.

Winter in Wisconsin will never be unmatched. Ice fishing, snowmobiling, and skiing are all wonderful activities to do. You don’t know winter until you’ve been there. Ice shanties scattered among the lakes, families enjoying their catch at the dinner table and follow up with roasting marshmallows around a fire.

For breathtaking views, check out the waterfalls, bluffs, and endless lake views joined with a mesmerizing sunset to complete a wonderful day in Wisconsin. So relax – Enjoy your search at RentWisconsinCabins.com – You’re on Cabin Time now!

Searching for a Wisconsin Vacation Rental?

Image

We believe your family vacation should start with the online Search. We’ve made it fun and easy. You’re on cabin time now!

1. One website that is entirely focused on Wisconsin cabins, cottages, lodges and homes.

2. A website that offers a large selection.

3. A website where you can CONNECT and BOOK directly with the owners. These days, it’s hard to find. Have you noticed that most vacation rental websites now make your book through their site? Third-party websites take a commission on every booking. That means you’d likely pay more for the same rental because rental owners raise their rates. Not at RentWisconsinCabins.com: You always book directly with the owners and Save – Besides, the owners are your best tour guides, not booking websites.

4. Finally, you need a website that offers easy Search Tools that narrow your search.

When it’s vacation time, it’s time to visit RentWisconsinCabins.com.
