About this property

Otter Bay Cabin...A Beautifully Furnished Lakefront All Season Cabin!

Otter Bay Cabin is located on Little Kitten Lake on the Wildcat chain ....a 375 acre Class A Musky Lake..4 miles north of Boulder Junction, WI , a popular town in Vilas County. It is a spacious 3 bedroom/2 bath cottage with your own private dock and has all the amenities of home.
Take a look at the video with our photos. It is of the drive into Wildcat Cabins in a winter wonderland. Otter Bay Cabin is available all winter long. There are not many places any prettier than the Northwoods in winter. We're located within a hour drive from some of the best downhill skiing in the UP, within a few miles of wonderful cross country skiing and snow shoeing trails and within a few hundred yards of the snowmobile trails. Enjoy relaxing in front of the fireplace and all the winter activities.
A great place for a weeklong family adventure or a romantic getaway for two. The private setting with a fantastic view from the three seasons porch affords you a great Upnorth experience. You will see loons, otters, eagles, sunsets and beautiful Fall color. Whether you want to relax and curl up with a good book in the hammock, kayak or water ski, fish for the trophy Musky, hike or bike the many marked trails, or shop and dine in the quaint nearby towns, there is something available for each of you.
Winter is a great time to enjoy the Northwoods as well. Snowshoeing, ice fishing, Nordic cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating are available near our cabin. Snowmobile Trail #15 is at the end of our driveway. After a fun filled day of winter activities, warm up by the fireplace as you watch TV on the large screen.
Direct TV and WIFI are provided. The kitchen is fully equipped. Check out our new décor as you scroll thru the photos. We are pet friendly but limit our guests to one dog. We are here to serve you and excited to make your vacation the best ever.

Get-a-way Weekend

Our stay was great. Perfect cabin for our group of 4 adults and one dog. It was nice to have the fireplace for the night or two of fall weather we had! Would definitely stay again. Plenty to do around the area and on the resort property itself. Heather is a great host!

Sisters Weekend

Four sisters stayed at this very convenient location, super clean, spacious cabin just north of Boulder Junction in Aug of 2024. We were beyond happy with the entire experience. Kayaks, canoes, firewood for the large fire pit, pretty lake and spacious rooms, were just some of the upsides to this VBRO. We highly recommend and will likely go back.

Relaxing stay

Great place and excellent location. We loved the 3 season porch. An excellent place to relax in to get away from mosquitos and when it rained. The kids loved fishing and swimming. Used the kayaks on the beach. 5 minutes to town and to better cell/internet reception. We can’t wait to go back!

Such a nice Northwoods cabin with a cozy fireplace and screened in porch. A very short drive to town and easy access to many of the area lakes. Bedding was very comfy and bathrooms large and adequate. Great place for a family to relax and enjoy the Northwoods!

Nice cabin

The cabin was clean and had most everything we needed. Could have used some AC and maybe some firmer beds. Overall we enjoyed the cabin, nice porch view, and having our own dock for the boat. Would stay again.
