Franklin Lake Cabin: Clear Water, Trail Miles & Campfire Nights in Three Lakes, WI. A RentWisconsinCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2013!

Looking for a Northwoods base where the water is glassy at sunrise and the pines whisper right out the back door? Franklin Lake Cabin in Three Lakes, Wisconsin delivers the classic cabin experience Cabintimers crave—quiet mornings on the pier, easy lake access, and miles of Nicolet National Forest to roam.

Why Cabintimers love this cabin

This two-bedroom, one-bath vacation home sits just about 30 steps from Franklin Lake. It’s sized right for a family or two couples—one bedroom has a king bed, the second offers two twins, and the living room adds a queen sleeper. Central A/C and a gas furnace keep temps just right year-round, while a wood-burning fireplace sets the tone for board games and movie nights.

The spacious lakeside deck is your outdoor living room, outfitted with both gas and charcoal grills plus seating for lingering over dinner. Down by the private pier, tie off your own boat or slip out in the included rowboats, canoe, or fishing kayak. Life jackets are on hand, and there’s a fish-cleaning setup waiting for your walleye, smallmouth, northern pike, or panfish. Inside, the full kitchen is stocked with the essentials (yes, bring K‑cups), and there’s a washer/dryer to simplify longer stays. Note: bring your own bed and bath linens and paper products.

No pets means a tidy, dander-free stay. There’s a landline for peace of mind and antenna TV with a video library for rainy days. Most Cabintimers spend evenings around the shoreline fire ring watching the sky fade while loons call across the water.

On-the-water days

Franklin Lake is known for clear water and an easy-to-enjoy shoreline. Families love paddling to the nearby island for a picnic and a little exploring. A mile from the cabin you’ll find a sandy beach, a public boat landing, and the historic Franklin Lake Recreation Area. The west bay is a favorite for anglers, while the lake’s laid-back vibe makes it a relaxing change of pace from busier chains.

Four seasons of Northwoods fun

Summer brings swimming, paddling, and sunset cruises. Autumn paints the forest in blazing color—perfect for hikers and photographers. When the snow flies, this corner of the Northwoods is a playground for cross-country skiers, snowmobilers, and ice anglers. Trails thread the area in every direction, so you can ride or glide right into winter solitude.

Nearby adventures in Three Lakes & Eagle River

Make time to explore the local scene:

Three Lakes Winery pours award-winning fruit wines and offers tastings in town—perfect for a rainy afternoon or a post-hike reward.
Trail time is serious business here. The Three Lakes–Brule River trail network links up hundreds of miles for snowmobiling and silent-sport exploring through the Nicolet National Forest.
Family day in Eagle River. Head 20 minutes north for shopping and eats, or spark young imaginations at the Northwoods Children’s Museum. When the sun’s out, take a scenic drive past the famous Eagle River–Three Lakes Chain of Lakes.
More water to try. Butternut Lake and other nearby waters offer a fresh change of scenery and species.

Good-to-know details

High season typically books by the week, Saturday to Saturday. Shoulder seasons can be more flexible for partial-week stays—just ask. The cabin is set up for easy living, but remember to pack linens and towels. Got a boat? Dock it at the private pier. Prefer to travel light? Use the canoe, rowboats, or fishing kayak on site.

Book direct & save

Skip third‑party markups. When you book Franklin Lake Cabin directly with the owner through It’s Cabin Time®, you avoid service fees and connect with a local who knows the lake and the forest by heart. Cabintimers get better value and better advice—every time.

Why Cabintimers book with Hiller

Hiller Vacation Homes focuses on lake time. You’ll find properties on sought‑after lakes in the Northwoods with private piers, fire pits, and full kitchens. Need space for a crowd?

Make it a true lake trip with marine rentals

Hiller can outfit your stay with pontoon boats, bass boats, kayaks, and stand‑up paddleboards. Keep the group together on a roomy pontoon. Chase walleye and musky from a bass boat. Or glide into a quiet bay by kayak at sunset. Booking your watercraft with the same local crew keeps things simple, so your vacation stays all about the water.

Where to stay (and play)

Eagle River This is legendary lake country. The 28‑lake chain delivers miles of cruising, sandbars for swimming, and year‑round fishing. Wander Main Street for ice cream and sweet shops. Fall brings cranberry season and festive events. Winter turns the area into a playground with cross‑country trails and a storied snowmobile scene.

St. Germain Pick your pace here. Pedal the Heart of Vilas County Bike & Hike Trail for smooth miles through tall pines and lakes. In winter, visit the Snowmobile Hall of Fame and ride a well‑marked network that links to hundreds of miles of trails. St. Germain also has family‑friendly beaches and easy lake access—perfect for a first paddleboard session or a lazy pontoon afternoon.

Minocqua Minocqua is known for serious time on the water. Spend your days boating, skiing, paddling, and casting. When snow flies, Minocqua Winter Park delivers groomed trails for cross‑country skiing, fat biking, snowshoeing, and a tubing hill on select days. It’s a solid home base for winter fans and summer lake‑hoppers alike.

Three Lakes On the south end of the world‑famous chain, Three Lakes serves up a quieter vibe with endless coves to explore. Pack a picnic and cruise between lakes. Hike or ride into the nearby national forest. Even on a busy weekend, you can find a calm stretch of shoreline.

Resort lodging with a Northwoods feel

Prefer a classic resort setting with cabins close together and easy on‑site amenities? Hiller also offers resort stays through Birchwood Resort, Elbert’s Resort on Little St. Germain Lake, Hiller’s Pine Haven, Woodhill Resort on the Minocqua Chain, and Wilderness Bay Lodge & Resort on the Cisco Chain just over the border in Michigan’s U.P. You still book direct with local pros, and you still get that authentic up‑north experience.

Trip‑planning tips for Cabintimers

Summer brings warm water, long days, and nightly campfires. Book early if you want a specific lake or a pontoon rental for a holiday week.

Fall means crisp mornings, glass‑calm paddles, and a blaze of color on the shoreline. It’s a favorite time for anglers and hikers.

Winter is king in the Northwoods. Bring the sleds, wax the skis, and pair your cabin with a hot cocoa trail stop and a night around the fireplace.

Spring is quiet, budget‑friendly, and packed with wildlife sightings. Great for remote work weeks and long weekends.

How to book (and save)

Go straight to the source. Book directly with Hiller Vacation Homes to avoid traveler fees, get transparent rates, and tap into local knowledge. Ask about pet‑friendly stays, trailer parking for snowmobiles, and pairing a cabin with a pontoon or fishing boat. Cabintimers know: no middleman means more money left for bait, gas, and ice cream runs.

Side-by-Side A-Frames on Round Lake: “Du Kum Inn” & “Take It Ezy” on Wisconsin’s Pike Lake Chain. Listing on RentWisconsinCabins.com Since 2023.

If Round Lake sunsets and easy boat days are calling, these two modern A-frames in Park Falls deliver the goods. “Du Kum Inn” sleeps up to 12 and “Take It Ezy” sleeps up to 10—rent one or bring both crews and stretch out across the shoreline with space for 22 Cabintimers. Each cabin is four-season, freshly built, and set on Round Lake, part of the Pike Lake Chain in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. You’re about 25 miles west of Minocqua, but it feels worlds away in the best way.

Both cabins put you right on the water with private docks, a big swim pad, and three kayaks ready to launch. Morning paddles are glass-calm here; afternoons are for cruising coves and dropping a line for walleye, muskie, pike, and panfish. “Take It Ezy” ups the boat game with dock power to charge batteries. Back on shore, gather around the lakeside fire ring or settle onto the deck and let the Northwoods show off at sunset.

Inside, “Du Kum Inn” is set up for big-group comfort: two king bedrooms on the main level plus two loft bedrooms, each with a pair of full beds—great for kids, cousins, and late-night card games. “Take It Ezy” gives every couple a plush place to land with four king bedrooms and an extra queen futon in the loft. Both cabins have fully stocked kitchens, Wi-Fi, laundry, and central air; “Take It Ezy” also adds a cozy gas fireplace and a serious outdoor cooking trio—a gas grill, Big Green Egg, and a Camp Chef flat-top.

Bring the toys. From the driveway, you can hop right onto Price County snowmobile trails in winter and the Flambeau & Tuscobia ATV/UTV systems the rest of the year. On the water, two boat-up spots—Moose Jaw on Round and Musky Jack’s on Pike—make lunch runs part of the adventure (and yes, you can grab gas and bait on the lakes).

Make a weekend into a full Northwoods itinerary. In Park Falls, pop into local shops and grab a bite after a day on Round. Head south to Phillips to wander the quirky outdoor sculptures at Fred Smith’s Concrete Park. Paddlers will love the Turtle-Flambeau Scenic Waters Area. Hikers and wildlife watchers have miles of Chequamegon-Nicolet trails to roam. Winter? Trade paddles for powder—cross-country trails and endless sledding routes keep the season lively.

Why Cabintimers book these twins:

Space + flexibility: Two cabins side-by-side make it easy to host multi-family trips, weddings, reunions, or a fishing basecamp.
Modern comfort: Four-season builds, king beds, full kitchens, laundry, Wi-Fi.
Lake-life perks: Private docks, kayaks, big swim pad, sunset views.
Trail access: Ride right from the property—ATV/UTV and snowmobile friendly.

Skip the middleman. When you book direct with the owner through It’s Cabin Time®, you get the lowest rates, zero service fees, and local expertise you can’t find on the big sites. Ask about renting both “Du Kum Inn” and “Take It Ezy” for your full crew, boat rentals, where the fish are biting this week, and can’t-miss stops on the Pike Lake Chain.

Cabintimers—ready for Round Lake? Visit the rental pages to inquire with the owner and book direct. No fees. No surprises. Just lake time.

Lakefront Rental Wisconsin – Why Booking Direct Makes All the Difference

There’s something special about a lakefront rental in Wisconsin. Mornings start with calm waters reflecting the sunrise, and evenings wrap up with golden sunsets over the lake. Whether you’re planning a fishing trip, a family vacation, or a quiet escape with your favorite book, the perfect cabin or cottage is waiting for you. But here’s the thing—how you book your stay can make just as big of a difference as where you stay.

At RentWisconsinCabins.com, you can explore hundreds of verified lakefront rentals across Wisconsin without worrying about extra booking site fees. Instead of scrolling through third-party travel sites, you get to connect directly with local cabin owners and property managers. This direct connection means better rates, personalized advice, and insider tips on the best spots around the lake.

Why Wisconsin Lakefront Rentals Are So Popular

Wisconsin is home to thousands of lakes, from the vast and well-known Lake Winnebago to the quiet, hidden gems in the Northwoods. Each lake offers a different kind of adventure—clear waters for swimming, sandy shores for kids to play, and excellent fishing for walleye, bass, and musky.

Lakefront rentals here offer front-row seats to all of it. Imagine waking up and stepping right outside to your private dock or enjoying coffee on the deck with nothing but the sound of loons calling across the water. These cabins and cottages are more than just places to stay—they are part of the experience.

Lakefront Rental Wisconsin: Top Activities

A Wisconsin lakefront rental is a launchpad for endless outdoor fun:

Fishing: Cast right from the dock or rent a boat for a full day of chasing trophy fish.
Kayaking and Paddleboarding: Explore hidden coves and enjoy the lake at your own pace.
Swimming: Many lakefront properties offer sandy-bottom shorelines that are perfect for family swimming.
Bonfires and Stargazing: Evenings on the lake are made for roasting marshmallows and watching the sky light up with stars.
Winter Fun: Don’t forget about winter. Ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing make lakefront rentals in Wisconsin a four-season destination.

Book Direct, Save Money, Get More

When you search Lakefront Rental Wisconsin on Google, you’ll see big travel sites dominating the results—but here’s what they won’t tell you: their service fees can add hundreds of dollars to your stay. Booking directly through RentWisconsinCabins.com eliminates these unnecessary fees.

Plus, when you communicate directly with the cabin owner or property manager, you get insider knowledge—like which bait works best on that lake or where to find the best local fish fry on Friday night. These personal touches simply don’t exist when you book through a third-party platform.

Where to Start Your Search

Whether you’re looking for a rustic log cabin on the shore of a quiet fishing lake or a modern home with a private beach, you’ll find it on RentWisconsinCabins.com. Use our easy search filters to find properties by lake, town, or amenities. Each listing connects you directly with the owner or local manager—no middleman, no fees.

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.
