Otter's Retreat

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

Revel in the luxury of lakeside living with this gorgeous, multi-level Eagle River home, gracefully situated along the sandy shores of Scattering Rice Lake.

Enjoy the quaint town of Eagle River with its delicious local eateries and cafes, while Riverview Park, Wildwood Outdoor Adventures, and Three Lakes Winery (among other attractions) are all within a 15-mile radius. Closer to home, delight in sunny days on the lake, using the provided kayaks or paddle boards, or lounge on the private, spacious dock. Guests have the option of stone steps or a paved walking path providing easy access down to the lake, boathouse, and dock when you’re ready to kick back and soak up some sun. Nearby, ATV and snowmobile trails await winter adventurers.

Inside, the fun doesn’t stop! Choose from a plethora of board games in the cozy lower den, completely outfitted with foosball, air hockey, and a combo table tennis/pool table. A large bar stocked with diverse glassware and requisite tools for whipping up drinks overlooks a cozy seating area where movies or live sports can be played on a widescreen TV. On the main floor, you’ll feel right at home snuggled up by the fire in the living room, featuring comfy seating by a second widescreen TV, high wooden ceilings, charming cabin decor, and floor-to-ceiling windows opening to a large balcony that offers plenty of natural light and stunning lake views. A full kitchen with an oversized island hosts modern appliances and everything one could possibly need for effortless meal preparation, adjacent to the dining area with a large table. In the mornings, those who require a hot cup of Joe will enjoy the full coffee bar with the choice of a kettle, drip coffee maker, or Keurig. Following a great day out on the water, retreat to comfy bedrooms adorned with plush linens and thoughtful finishes. The spacious primary bedroom, which includes a sleeper chair, opens up to the balcony and has an en-suite bathroom with a jacuzzi and zen shower providing spa-like relaxation. Guests will also love the upstairs bedroom with an adjacent loft overlooking the main living area. This quiet nook hosts a desk for a workplace retreat and opposite, a luxe corner where couples can convene over cocktails after a long day. Kids can sleep in the bear-y nice bunk room downstairs, with plenty of floor space for game playing and a full bathroom next door.

As the sun begins to set, adults can gather on the deck with a glass of wine, take in the incredible lake view, and prepare for another magical day while the kiddos play games downstairs. There is truly something for everyone at the Otter's Retreat.

Wonderful Vacation

Three generations had a great time enjoying the home, views, boating, kayaking, hiking and nearby attractions during our week. We had a fun game night in the lower level, played several games of chess. The kitchen was great for preparing meals and we used the fire pit a few nights. This home offered something for all of us.

Beauty on the Lake

The views from the house are magnificent. We could not stop staring out the large windows overlooking the lake and forest. We saw 12 or more deer right from the window the morning we left. The house was very comfortable and spacious with enough bathrooms for our group of 12. It rained two of the days while we were there and there was room for everyone at the kitchen table and island to eat and play games. All in all we were very happy with the Otter Retreat. We would definitely love to come back.

Wonderful Experience

We absolutely loved this cabin in Eagle River. This home had everything you could ask for, the lake wasn’t crazy busy, and so many memories were made. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in the Eagle River area. The WiFi wasn’t spotty but you had to log in and enter your email every time you wanted WiFi. So we rarely used it because it took longer to log in than do what you needed. Overall, we loved the property and stay!

Home away from Home without the worries!

Vacasa homes is wonderful! We had a few things that we ran out on such as toilet paper and trash bags, but the property care taker, Sarah, went above and beyond to take care of those things. Even with the Smart TV issues, she went out of her way and brought us an HDMI chord. This truly tells you how much Vacasa homes values our restful stay. Even clean up was a breeze, truly professional home away from home without the worries of having to keep things so strict. Most Places have a strict checkout cleaning process along with a high cleaning fee (which makes no sense) but this place was so simple. Makes us want to clean up just for how much they value the costumer!

Great fun for our extended family

Each summer we go on vacation with our kids and their families. However, it has gotten harder to find a great house / lake combo for the 15 of us. This fit the bill perfectly. Lots of space to spread out and the grandkids loved the downstairs bunk room as well as the games. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and spices. Having 2 full size fridges was a huge bonus!. Stove and grill were excellent. This is important for us as we cook almost all of our meals in rather than going out. Bedrooms were spacious. Note the loft BR can be a bit warm on hot summer days. The driveway , yard and garage were great. The grandkids enjoyed running their scooters down the driveway in the morning. The dock is great. We broght our 20' wooden runabout and it was handled well and there is a nice launch on the next lake over (Eagle). The swim area has 2 sides (shore/ sandy bottom) and the lake side. We could sit on the dock and keep track of the herd of kids. Having the "boat house" by the lake was really handy as it held not only the herd of kayaks and paddle boards, but also stored our inflatables out of the sun and wind. The lake itself is very nice. It is great for watersports with not much other traffic. Fishing was light but that would be expected at the start of August. The loon family and the mink kept us company. Eagles were on the island. So there is lots to explore when paddling around. The house is definitely recommended. We also had great support from Vacasa in getting this set up and for an issue that we had.
