Why Cabintimers love this location

Big-water fishing on North & South Twin.
These connected lakes are known for musky and walleye. Bring your boat and chase trophies or cast from shore at dusk. Regional fishing guides call the Twins a musky destination, and local resources highlight multi-species action all season.

Winter that actually delivers.
When the snow stacks up, Eagle River lives up to its Snowmobile Capital of the World® nickname with 500+ miles of groomed trails that link small towns, forests, and frozen lakes. Ride right into eateries and warm up for round two.

Trails for every pace.
Stretch your legs on nearby routes in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and around Phelps. From easy family paths to longer forest loops, you’ll find miles of hiking and biking, including the Conover-Phelps Trail.

Quick trip ideas

  • Morning: cast for walleye on North Twin, then grill your catch back at the lake-level lawn.
  • Afternoon: bike the Conover-Phelps Trail and watch for wetland views and water crossings.
  • Evening: sunset on the Eagle’s Nest deck or a movie at Musky Lodge with surround sound.
  • Winter day: cruise groomed snowmobile routes into Eagle River for lunch, then wind back through the forest.

Good to know

  • All three rentals are available year-round on North Twin Lake in Phelps, WI.
  • Rates noted above are for base occupancy; check the availability calendar and book direct with Northern Exposure Rentals. No traveler fees. No middleman. Local owners who actually know the lake.

Rent Your Own Peninsula on North Long Lake: Robison Point is a Big Win for Cabintimers. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner.

Rent Your Own Peninsula on North Long Lake: Robison Point is a Big Win for Cabintimers. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner.

Cabintimers, this is the kind of Minnesota lake stay that sticks with you. Robison Point sits at the very tip of Ovig’s Point in Merrifield Bay on North Long Lake, just up the road from Brainerd/Baxter and Nisswa. You’re renting a peninsula. Water on three sides. Sunrise coffee on one dock. Sunset casting on the other.

Why Robison Point works for your crew

Space that makes sense. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin sleeps up to nine. One bedroom upstairs with a bath that features a freestanding tub. Two bedrooms and a second bath on the main level. AC units keep things cool. Wi‑Fi supports remote work or a streamed movie night.

Kid‑friendly shoreline. The swim dock sits over a hard‑sand bottom with steps into about three feet of water and a ladder for repeat cannonballs. The second dock sits on the drop‑off where the depth falls fast. It’s a known fishing spot. Boats often pause to cast right off the point.

Pet‑friendly. Dogs are welcome with an additional refundable deposit. The quiet backroad in and the ring of yard chairs make easy play space for people and pups.

Gather‑and‑graze layout. The open kitchen, dining, and living area sits under a vaulted pine ceiling. There’s a kitchen island with stools, a big dining table, and a leather sectional. The kitchen is ready for real meals: electric range, two full‑size refrigerators, microwave, toaster, blender, stand mixer, Keurig, cookware, and plenty of utensils.

Outside is the main event. Wood deck with picnic table and umbrella. Gas grill with propane provided. Fire pit with a pile of free firewood. Adirondack chairs and loungers to orbit the shoreline all day.

Wildlife soundtrack. Expect loons, eagles, osprey, fox, otter, deer, and summer fireflies. Stay a week and you’ll hear or spot a bunch of them.

Straightforward weekly stays. Book Saturday to Saturday during peak season. Secure your week with a deposit. Short‑term rental license on file with Crow Wing County.

Where you’ll play around Brainerd Lakes

On the water. North Long Lake has room for everything: paddling at sunrise, tubing by lunch, and evening trolling along the breaks. Launch across Merrifield Bay. If you bring bikes, roll out to the Paul Bunyan State Trail for a smooth ride into Nisswa or Brainerd.

On the dirt. Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area sits east in Crosby. Red dirt singletrack. Clear mine lakes. Paddleboards and mountain bikes rent easily in town. The Pillsbury State Forest offers shady hiking and birding.

Up in the trees. Brainerd Zip Line Tour near Gull Lake delivers sky‑bridge views and big‑line runs.

Classic family stops. Nisswa’s Turtle Races on summer Wednesdays make for goofy bragging rights. Paul Bunyan Land adds kitschy photo ops and rides. Mini golf, go‑karts, candy shops, and ice cream are close at hand.

Golf and more. The Brainerd Lakes area is golf‑rich. Public tracks range from casual 9‑hole loops to resort courses. When the sun goes down, find live music patios and local breweries.

Winter flips the script. North Long Lake becomes an ice fishing town. Snowmobile routes thread through the forest. Mount Ski Gull spins lifts for downhill turns and tubing.

Good‑to‑know cabin details

• 3BR/2BA; up to 9 guests. 1,328 sq ft.

• Two docks: one for swimming over hard‑sand bottom; one for fishing at the drop‑off.

• AC units plus strong Wi‑Fi and cable TV/Blu‑ray.

• Fully equipped kitchen with two refrigerators and small appliances.

Deer Lake Resort: Your Own 40‑Acre Lake + 9‑Bedroom Northwoods Lodge in Winchester, WI. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2018!

Deer Lake Resort: Your Own 40‑Acre Lake + 9‑Bedroom Northwoods Lodge in Winchester, WI. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2018!

Big week ahead? Bring the whole crew to Deer Lake Resort in Winchester, Wisconsin. Cabintimers get the rare combo here: a private, 40‑acre, electric‑only lake wrapped by nearly two square miles of forest and a 9,000‑sq‑ft lodge that sleeps up to 20. It’s quiet. It’s spacious. And it’s set up for easy living and long lake days—without neighbors peeking over the dock.

Why Cabintimers love this Winchester, WI cabin rental

This is a true large‑group basecamp. You’ll find nine bedrooms and six full baths, including a 1,000‑sq‑ft bunk room with its own sitting area and fireplace. There are four fireplaces total, multiple family rooms with lake views, and a lakeside screened porch perfect for morning coffee or late‑night card games. The oversized dining/family room overlooks the water and gives everyone a place to gather without squeezing onto pullouts.

The kitchen was remodeled recently and is stocked to feed a crowd: two coffee makers plus a 50‑cup brewer, two slow cookers, a convection oven, commercial gas cooktop, two full‑size refrigerators, and a stand‑up freezer. Bar seating for six keeps the cooks company while they work. Pro tip for planners: bring the spice kit and a menu—this kitchen can handle it.

On‑the‑water fun (all included)

Because Deer Lake is private and electric‑only, the water stays calm and wildlife hangs close. Fishing is catch‑and‑release and the lake has been stocked with walleye over the years, along with northern, crappie, and panfish. Your group can spread out on the private sand beach, swim platform, and dock. Boats and toys are part of the package: kayaks, canoes, paddle board, paddle boats, two 14‑ft fishing boats with electric motors, a two‑person electric pontoon, and a 6–8 person electric pontoon. Want to waterski? There’s a slip on nearby Birch Lake for your motorboat.

Game on, rain or shine

The lower‑level game room keeps kids and night owls happy with ping‑pong, foosball, and video games. Outside, set up volleyball on the big lawn, shoot hoops, or gather by the firepit. There’s also a hot tub and multiple decks when you’re ready to unwind.

Trail time & town time

Just a few miles away, WinMan Trails offers 20+ miles of groomed biking and hiking. Paved paths connect you to Manitowish Waters, Boulder Junction, and Presque Isle for ice cream runs, coffee stops, and souvenir browsing. Day‑trip options include Lake Superior’s beaches and scenic shoreline. Closer to home you’ll find golf courses, supper clubs, antique shops, and even underground caves. Pack for adventure and see where the day takes you.

Good to know

• Weekly stays are common, typically Saturday–Saturday in summer.

• Pets are considered—bring the four‑legged family if approved.

• Linens and beach towels are provided. There’s a washer/dryer and even an outdoor rinse station.

• Wi‑Fi keeps you connected when you need it; a back‑up generator keeps vacation on track.

Who this Northwoods lodge fits best

Multi‑family gatherings, reunions, corporate retreats, fishing groups, outdoor clubs—if you’re organizing for up to 20 Cabintimers and want elbow room plus serious privacy, this place hits the mark.

Why video is more than necessary in 2015

By 2017, video will account for 69% of all consumer internet traffic, according to Cisco. Videos are nothing new in this day and age and it seems like every day, another video is going viral. Online video users are expected to double to 1.5 billion in 2016, according to Jeff Hazylett.  This number will only increase due to more ways to record and easier ways to upload and share content.

That is why companies should be embracing this amazing way to create great content marketing. “We have been encouraging vacation rental owners to upload videos of their property or fun things to do in the area. Videos show vacationers how to live like a local,” Joe Mogensen, creator of state-specific vacation, rental websites said. His first state specific website was www.RentWisconsinCabins.com, a website highlighting vacation rentals all over the state. The addition of videos to property details page let’s renters “watch” what there is to do in the area, like snorkeling the lakefor example. Did you know that Cable has some of the coolest snowmobiling in the world? Videos help share with the user, what a simple description could never put into words. Other vacation rental websites such as RentMinnesotaCabins.com, RentNewYorkcabins.com and RentMichiganCabins.com have gained momentum with video capabilities. “New York has some popular wine trails that are great for those that stay a week in the Finger Lakes area.” Videos promote that vacation experience, which helps rental owners bookings.”

“We are brand ambassadors. We want to be a marketing partner first and a listing website second. It is important for vacationers to trust the property and managers.” Mogensen implies. Simply put, photos and descriptions just don’t work for everybody now. Users want more. Videos are easy to share with others and let’s face it, vacationers want to share their experiences and owners want to share what they can offer. Videos are also great social media material. Just recently Facebook surpassed YouTube in desktop traffic, which just solidifies our reasoning  for vacationers to connect with the owners and managers online via social media. Coupled with video, It is a win-win situation.
