Wonderful experience

My wife and I booked this spot to celebrate our our anniversary and go to cranberry festival. Worth it! The host was so accommodating and very thorough on expectations of leaving the cabin as you found it. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a quiet little spot. Absolutely lovely. The bar and grill near by is a neat spot as well.

Nice as advertised cabin, very well equipped. We had relaxing visit but would've like more time on the lake. The boats available weren't very serviceable, would bring my own kayaks next time. Otherwise I'd give 5 stars, still a fun vaca

Weekend in the Northwoods

We chose this particular location because it was near to the area my wife grew up in and we spent a great deal of time in early in our marriage. It was a great location, very well kept cottage, and the nearby bar and grill was very nice and friendly. I would recommend it highly.

Nice Little Cabin

My husband and I wanted to get away to the north woods for 5 nights. This place was exactly our idea of a cabin. The property was furnished with everything you need in the kitchen except for your food. The location was great. Loved the screened in porch. We'd love to book again next year.

Cabin on a lake

Kathan cabin was a wonderful place to stay. The cabin was extremely clean and comfortable. We loved sitting on the screened in porch reading and listening to the birds. The cabin is located far enough from Eagle River to be quiet yet close enough to get to town easily (within 5-1ominutes). The furniture was dated but very comfortable. We did not use the oven but the kitchen is amply stocked for cooking (much more than other places we have stayed). We would definitely stay here again.

Get away with kids and new grand baby.

The cabin was very nice and well appointed. There wasn’t one time that we could find what we were needing. The screen porch was so nice to have when the kids came over for cook outs. Super close to Eagle River, but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. The beach leaves a little to be desired, but we had access to the chain anyway. We would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

As a child my family would vacation in the Eagle River area each summer, this tradition continued with my own family. I have always wanted to have a place of my own in the area where we could enjoy and share the northern experience with others.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is located on a quiet, private lake, but is only minutes from downtown Eagle River, and only 30 minutes from Minocqua.
Snowmobile, ATV, and biking trails are endless. There are also countless lakes to choose from if fishing or recreational boating is what you're looking for.
