Cast Away

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Welcome to Cast Away, your idyllic waterfront retreat located just 54 feet from the shimmering shoreline of the Manitowish River. Nestled between Rust Lake and Spider Lake, this charming cabin is the perfect destination for Northwoods lake lovers eager to explore the stunning Manitowish Chain of 10 Lakes by water.

Launch your adventure from the private pier, hop in your rowboat, and drift down the river, or use the small ramp at the resort to put in your fishing boat for a day of angling. Try your luck catching the elusive muskellunge or other local favorites like panfish, largemouth bass, and walleye.

After a day filled with outdoor fun, unwind with a homemade dinner on the grill, followed by a cozy gathering around the community campfire pit, just a short walk from your cabin. Let the soothing sounds of the Northwoods lull you to sleep in this tranquil setting.

Cast Away is perfect for a small family or a couple looking to enjoy a weekend away with their furry friend. The quaint kitchen and inviting living space are ideal for a game of cribbage, while the front porch offers just enough room for holding hands and stargazing.

Experience the beauty of waterfront living as you relax on the lawn or take a leisurely stroll to nearby cafes and restaurants for a bite to eat. With access to Rest Lake and Spider Lake, you'll be surrounded by nature's best, from crystal-clear waters to breathtaking scenery.

Great Location! Not the property I was expecting!

The cabin was small and very dingy. Not well cleaned! Light fixture in back bedroom did not work. Toilet looked like someone went pee and did not flush. No clean patio chairs to sit and relax. Railing on the front stoop height not legal. Not sure how it all went thru Vacassa but I had a ? on my bill and was told to contact VRBO since that was wear I booked it.

We did not love too much about our stay this time around as cabin had not been properly cleaned before our entry. We love being on the channel and cruising.

Expensive small rustic cabin

The unit was clean. Bathroom is very small, no hair dryer is provided. Much of the space in the cabin is bedroom, limited living space. Some improvements are needed to justify the cost of this tiny cabin.

Family trip

The cottage was nicely stocked -loved that they had a ton of towels. The negative was the beds. They are really old and thin. They were uncomfortable and they had the mattress pads that sound like newspaper.

Nice place to stay for fishing

My brother and I spent a lovely weekend fishing the chain. The cabin is in a perfect spot to allow us to dock for lunch and go right back out. We will be back next season.

Perfect cozy spot

We loved our stay here! Great location and beautiful cozy home. The kiddos loved the bunk beds and we enjoyed the open concept. Having the dock and water right there was perfect, we could watch for fish and dip our feet in the cool water. Loved it, thank you!

Nice house. If you bring a boat- you have to launch at a public landing. For the dock area- bring something to protect your boat from the metal pipes.

Perfect for family getaway up north on the chain!

Just right for our family of 4 to spend time back on the chain of lakes in Manitowish Waters. Clean, quiet, comfortable for a family. Calm channel of water for convenient access to lakes, and perfect spot for paddle boarding.

Perfect quiet spot!

We loved our stay! Everything went very smoothly and we were very comfortable here. This cabin had everything we needed and more. We did not use the stove/oven or any appliances (coffee maker, etc.) but the small kitchen has counter space and all the amenities you’d need. The A/C was nice, and we were grateful for extra fans to stay comfortable. This cabin was very quiet and peaceful, beautiful setting and fun to watch boats cruising through the channel. We hope to stay again. Thank you!

Stayed three nights and loved this place. Got up the first morning I was there and tried to extend my stay, but unfortunately it was already booked up. I would definitely come back to this place. Very relaxing, very clean, and in a beautiful spot.
