Three Ways to Unplug at Whispering Pine Lodge, Wisconsin’s North Woods. RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Member Since 2016!

Looking for a basecamp that puts roaring rapids, rocky waterfalls, and snow-dusted trails right outside your door? Whispering Pine Lodge in Pound, WI, turns “cabin time” into year-round adventure. Cabintimers can choose one, two, or all three rentals on the property for their crew and still enjoy the same pine-scented playground.

The Lodge — room for eight. A full renovation added a wrap-around deck, Wi-Fi, and two baths while keeping the classic log-lodge feel. Three bunk beds plus a full bed let families stretch out, and evenings end around the firepit tripod frying up fresh-caught walleye from White Potato Lake across the road.

Whitetail Cabin — sleeps six. Patio doors frame the woods, and open-concept living means no one misses the stories spinning from the kitchen. A queen bedroom, loft double, and futon make it a smart pick for small groups, hunters, and ATV riders happy to park right on the trail.

Black Bear Cabin — sleeps six. Cozy frontier styling, a crackling fireplace, and an airy loft bring friends together after a day chasing trout, riding Rustic Road #32, or rafting the Peshtigo’s Roaring Rapids.

More to Explore

Waterfall Tour: 14 falls splash through Marinette County — pack a picnic and a camera.
Peshtigo & Wolf Rivers: Guided whitewater trips for every thrill level.
Nicolet National Forest & Peshtigo River State Forest: 98 miles of hiking/biking, 100 miles of signed ATV trails, and winter cross-country ski loops.
High Falls & Caldron Falls Flowages: Big-water boating plus hidden coves for paddlers.
Laona Steam Train: Roll through the forest on a vintage locomotive, then browse Crivitz antique shops.

Lured In Cabin: Reel in Relaxation on Wisconsin’s Quiet Lake Ripley. Celebrating 6 Years on RentWisconsinCabins.com

Cabintimers, picture calm water lapping at your private dock and a line cast from the row boat that comes with your stay. Lured In Cabin sits on peaceful, no-wake Lake Ripley in Sarona, WI. The two-bedroom, one-bath retreat was recently remodeled and now welcomes up to six guests. Pack light — linens are provided and the full kitchen is stocked with every tool you need for shore-lunch tacos.

Inside, an open floor plan keeps the crew connected. A futon faces the large TV for movie nights, while the expandable dining table seats six for cards or puzzles when a summer shower rolls through. Wi-Fi is limited, which makes time on the deck sweeter and stories around the fire ring longer. Plenty of trailer parking lets you bring ATVs and snowmobiles for the nearby trails.

Outdoors is where Lake Ripley shines. Paddle out in the complimentary boat, splash from the swim raft, or ask the Johnson family about renting their pontoon for a sunset cruise. Tall pines shade the yard, and the grill is ready for your freshwater catch.

When you’re ready to roam, sip small-batch spirits at Perlick Distillery, hike the kettle-moraine landscape of Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary, or tee off at Spooner Golf Club. Spooner’s Railroad Memories Museum and the Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum add a dash of history to the trip, and the Great Northern Railroad excursion offers panoramic views without the hiking boots. Cap the day with supper at Pioneer on Long Lake or a cold one at Props Sports Bar.

Book Direct, Save More
Owner-managers Sy and Sharon Johnson handle every inquiry themselves. That means no service fees, no middleman, and true local know-how. Lured In Cabin rents April through October with a two-night minimum. Reach out, reel in your preferred dates, and start counting down to Cabin Time.

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.

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.
