About this property

Quick Escape - Large 3+Bed 2 Bath Lake Home near Eagle River & St. Germain

LARGE LAKE HOME ON VERY PRIVATE ONE-ACRE WOODED PROPERTY

Our beautiful and private lake home is located perfectly between St. Germain and Eagle River and Rhinelander! The home has 3+ bedrooms and two large bathrooms, and it is located on a one-acre, stunningly wooded private lot. Echo Lake is part of the famous Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes, which also provides Class A Musky fishing – hosting numerous fishing tournaments. Other accessible lakes include Dam Lake, Sand Lake, Stone Lake, and Chain Lake – comprising 2,300 total acres of water surface. Our secluded property is located on the west side of the lake, with approximately 120 feet of private shoreline, and provides gorgeous views of the lake, woods, and sun rises. A large 32-foot private pier overlooks the lake with a sandy shoreline offering a gentle sloping, non-weedy swimming area. We also have a swim raft approximately 15-20 feet off the pier which provides lots of entertainment for kids (and adults).

For those interested in winter activities, we are very close to the Bo Boen & Eagle River 500 trails, providing hundreds upon hundreds of miles of well-maintained trails. Just 2.3 miles from our house to the trail entrance -- accessible through low-traffic subdivision roads!

Check-in: 3pm
Check-out: 9am
6 person maximum, including all ages

Our home has spectacular scenery from all rooms on the main floor and the finished walk-out lower level. The main floor has a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, large family room with TV and wood burning stove (bring your own hardwood please for indoor burning), sitting/extra room w/futon, master bedroom, large bathroom (with stand-up shower & large separate bathtub), and laundry room. There is a large covered deck on the back of the house, which is perfect for sitting outside (sun, rain, or snow). First floor sleeping accommodations include a king-sized bed and two twin (trundle) beds in the master bedroom with very large walk-in closet, and a futon (and dresser) in the sitting/extra room. The sitting/extra room has a pocket-door, if privacy is needed.

The walkout lower level includes another large family room with "fake" Franklin Stove fireplace and flat screen TV, desk area, two more bedrooms (both with queen beds), another futon in the main family room, and full bath (newly remodeled) with shower/tub. Likewise, the lower walk-out has a sheltered patio and gas grill. Please note the gas grill is only available May-October.

Our long 350ft driveway is paved near the house with plenty of room for parking in front of our three-stall garage. There are several options for off-street trailer parking on the property. Guests will not have access to the inside of our garage and storage room.

The cabin features wireless Internet/WiFi via Frontier. Both TVs are connected to YouTube TV via Amazon Firesticks, for access to approximately 180 channels and local TV stations. You can also use the Firesticks to log into your own personal streaming services, such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc. The upstairs TV also has a DVD player and a collection of 100’s of DVDs for your viewing.

The cabin has a washer and dryer (bring your own laundry supplies), dual zone central heat/air conditioning, microwave, dishwasher, ice cube maker in the fridge, lakeside campfire pit, picnic table, gas grill, canoe, and large 32ft. private dock and swim raft. Bring your own boat or water toys, or rent from the local marinas and businesses.

The Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes offers a very private, scenic setting surrounded by the American Legion State Forest with minimal shoreline development. Most of the chain's shoreline is either privately owned or under the control of the Wisconsin DNR. The water level is controlled by a dam (on Dam Lake), so channels are typically accessible to travel between the lakes. Our lake, Echo Lake (at 93 acres; depth 18 ft.), is the smallest lake -- but also the calmest and quietest. There is plenty of room and depth for water sports (such as skiing, tubing, jet skiing, etc.), particularly as the deepest side of the lake is near our property. Likewise, activities can expand to the other lakes, which include Chain Lake (201 acres; 19 ft.), Stone Lake (178 acres; 16 ft.), Sand Lake (547 acres; 25 ft.) and Dam Lake (732 acres; 32 ft.). There are two boat ramps between the five lakes – on Chain (our preferred), and Sand/Dam Lakes.

Enjoy the secluded and scenic splendors the Northwoods has to offer – while being just minutes from great dining, go-carting, horseback riding, shopping, golfing, bike trails, snowmobile trails, and much more. Our calendar tends to fill up quickly, so make your reservation today!

Sorry, no pets & no indoor smoking. For insurance and property protection, there are several outside-only security cameras on the premises.

Thanks for your interest!

Amazing location on a great chain of lakes!

Cozy house, lots of room, great for 2 families. Two redundant living areas on lower and main level. Lots of fun games and books. TV movie channels available for use, which was nice. Can't say enough good about this location! Got a pontoon boat and floated around the several lakes, and beautiful channels connecting them. Great sandbar on Stone lake, just to the left as you enter from channel from Echo Lake. Water was perfect and lots of sand to walk and walk, or swim, play frisbee etc. Went to Pitlik's resort on Sand Lake and had great fried chicken and bloody Marys. After an initial booking SNAFU, which they did all they could to make right with us, owners were extremely helpful, responsive and communicative. Many little extras in the house. The grounds were nice also, with a great firepit overlooking Echo Lake. Ample wood supply. Cant say enough good about this location, these owners, these lakes. THANK YOU!

Fall getaway

Just got home from our long weekend at “quick getaway”. Wonderful home, close to Eagle River and St Germain, but far enough away to be super quiet. You’d never know anyone else lived on echo lake! Had a nice fire and did a little canoeing. House is big enough that it never felt cramped. Nice gem that we would definitely stay at again! Thanks for opening your home up to us, it’s a slice of heaven.

Nice

In general, this was a nice, quiet place to get away. Very nice cabin which was clean except for a few dirty dishes that had been placed in the cabinets. The beach area was disappointing and nothing like photos. It was very sloped and nothing that chairs could set upon without tipping. No sand was entering the lake as pictured. The lake entry had a large log and large stones at the water's edge with a quick drop off where sand is pictured above the water in the photos. I needed to stand in front of it so that our grandchildren would not fall into it if they stumbled. Not suitable for toddlers.

Spacious and Cozy Cabin, Great Location

We loved staying at this property. It was so welcoming and quaint and there was so much living space that we could be comfortable together or separate. Everything is very well done inside and outside. Location right between St Germain and Eagle River is great and the chain of lakes the property is on gives lots of opportunities for water fun. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Cabin

We had a great time at Liz's cabin - such a beautiful property. The home was even better than the pictures. Very clean, cozy and stocked with everything you need. Liz was quick to respond when the internet went out after a storm and contacted the provider right away. The water is great for swimming (no weeds in the swim area), fun for fishing and we enjoyed using their canoe to explore the channel and lake. St. Germain is a cute town - good coffee shops, Elmer's fun park, great breakfast, ice cream and pizza places, etc. The marina was helpful when getting fishing stuff for my daughter. Easy access to Minoqua and Eagle River as well. Highly recommend staying at the Quick Escape!

Winter get away with friends

We came up to ice fish and ride the snowmobile trails. Thinking mid feb would be safe for the snow, the trails were closed due to a massive rain storm. We ice fished right out the back on Echo lake and had a great time. The lake holds a good amount of fish.

Great fishing for the kids:)

Kids caught SO many bluegill and a couple perch off the pier. They loved jumping in the lake. The canoe was pretty heavy and path to water a bit precarious carrying it so we skipped that and kind of missed going out on a boat but really enjoyed the pier and, again, the fishing! The house offered multiple spaces for hanging out which was great since we had grandparents and kids involved and sometimes they just needed their own space. Owner was very responsive and helpful. Really happy to have a gas stove in the kitchen! :).

Family Summer Vacation

We stayed June 2022 and had a wonderful time! Property was large, clean, accurately pictured and described. Kitchen was one of the most well equipped we’ve ever had. We had our four kids ranging in ages from 2-13. There was something for everyone. Our older kids loved the swim raft and our toddler enjoyed playing in the sand. We hit up Eagle River for shopping and their bakery and St Germain for ice cream. The owners were great with communication and everything we needed. We wouldn’t hesitate booking again.

Snowmobile Adventure

Excellent property for our group (three couples) for our week of snowmobiling. Spacious place for the six of us. Kitchen very well stocked with every item we needed. Plenty of parking for our vehicles and sleds with snowmobiles. Hosts communicated in timely fashion. Only thing that would not be a five star is the 2.3 miles we had to drive to get on the trails, but hey, that was better than having to trailer every day. Great week (although more snow is needed on the trails). Would definitely stay here again if we want to sled in the Eagle River area.

About the host

Hosted by The Quicks

Host profile image
We've been coming to the Northwoods for over 50 years, with my parents and siblings. And now we have passed along that tradition to our children - who refer to our Wisconsin trips as their most favorite, relaxing vacations. In 2012, we purchased this cabin/lake house in our most favorite Northwood's location. Between jobs and kid's sports, we can't make it Up North as often as we would like -- so it just makes sense to rent the place when we can't be there. Please enjoy our home, as much as we do, and create some family memories of your own in the Northwoods! In the words of our children -- THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A TRIP UP NORTH!

Why they chose this property

Our home and it's location on the Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes is a perfect setup. It's great to be on a smaller lake where it is very calm, quiet, and secluded -- but you can still take advantage of the larger lakes. You can sit on the deck or pier and listen to the Loons, watch the bald eagles, or feed the deer -- or ski on a calm mirror of water -- or take a walk or bike ride down the enormously tall tree-lined private streets that are tucked away from all the traffic. We like water sports, and there is plenty of room on Echo Lake for skiing, tubing, jet skiing, wake boarding, knee boarding, etc. Likewise, the lakes offer some of the best fishing around, to catch that ultimate Musky. If you want to take a cruise on the lake - you have 5 lakes to choose from -- make it an all day adventure or a short trip to Sand Lake/Pitlik's for their excellent Bloody Mary and fantastic menu.

Since we are perfectly situated between St. Germain and Eagle River, groceries, souvenir shopping, restaurants, bars, go-carts, bike trails, etc. are all a short drive away. And don't forget about all the various year-round activities and events, such as:
* The St. Germain Flea Market (Mondays, Memorial Day thru Labor Day),
* Pig in the Pines (August)
* Cranberry Fest & Fall Colors (October)
* World Championship Snowmobile Derby (January)
* Adult Pond Hockey Championships (February)
* Fishing tournaments (year-round)

We love our home in the Northwoods - it's location and all the amenities -- you will love it too!
