About this property

Prime Location - Private Lake Home on Big St. Germain Lake. Remodeled, AC, WIFI

Your North Woods experience starts when you drive down our private road, surrounded by forest, to a picturesque view of the largest lake in the area (house faces west for breath taking year long sunsets and lake views three miles long).

Located on beautiful Big St. Germain Lake, this newly furnished 1,800 sq. ft. private home with the rare find of level lake front access and screened in porch is perfect for family fun and priceless views of our resident Eagle. The serene surroundings offer a perfect getaway in the heart of the North Woods - and conveniently located minutes from downtown St. Germain, and just 20 minutes from Eagle River or Minocqua. We are in the center of it all.

Aerie Lake is a fully furnished vacation home. Whether you plan on staying for a few days or a few weeks, the rental and surrounding grounds have everything you need to feel right at home.

Grounds
*Aeries Lake is on the East side of the lake and gets a breeze pretty much every day. This keeps you cooler in the summer and reduces the bugs. You will be amazed at the difference this makes!
* The lake side is easily accessible for all ages (no stairs), and the shallow depth near the pier allows for easy swimming for the little ones.
* The large pier has a bench, ladder, and many bumpers for your valuable boat.
* Swing set for kids and a log swing for the adults.
* Centrally located fire pit.

Location
* Big St. Germain Lake was voted one of the top ten muskie lakes in Wisconsin.
* Big St. Germain Lake provides 1600 acres of water pleasure - enjoy swimming, boating, skiing, tubing or water crafting.
* Take a ride in your boat to restaurants on the lake: Fibbers, Clearview Supper Club, Sisters Saloon
* Fuel service on the lake (Premium and Pre-mix).
* Big St. Germain Lake provides access to Lake Content, Fawn Lake & Lost Creek.
* Blue Ribbon trout fishing minutes away from your door.

Why stay at our house?
*NEW OPEN CONCEPT KITCHEN AND FAMILY ROOM REMODEL COMPLETED IN MAY, 2020. Gut remodel included new floors, walls, kitchen, lighting, plumbing, table and chairs, leather couches, blinds, etc.

*All three bedrooms were renovated in 2021. Gut remodel included new floors, walls, lighting, electrical, blinds, windows, furniture, doors, vaulted ceilings, Smart TV's in two of the bedrooms, etc.

* It’s our family’s vacation home and we are proud of it. Limited to ~8 rental weeks per year, our vacation home is well maintained and in excellent condition. It is not an over-used, broken-down investment property.

* Our home is hypoallergenic. One of our family members is allergic to pets and under no circumstance are pets allowed. As such, in the family room is an Alen BreatheSmart 45i True HEPA Air Purifier that removes 99.99% of particles greater than 0.1 microns and a germicidal whole-home air purification system (Model: Carrier Infinity Air Purifier). It uses Captures and Kills technology to trap up to 95% of pathogens down to .30 micron in size, then uses an electrical charge to kill or inactive them.

Cabin bliss

We loved this property! Great layout, clean and comfortable. Tasteful renovation. We stayed with our daughter and her husband and two young children. We used the swingset and porch often. It was great to be able to just walk down to the dock without any steps! We rented a pontoon and it was fun fishing and cruising the lake.. Owners were very responsive to a couple of concerns.

Private setting, flat yard on Big Saint

We enjoyed the location of this property on Big St. Germain. We had previously stayed on Little Saint and Lake Content. We appreciated the lack of bugs at our evening campfires just as the owners claimed! We didn’t use the bug spray once! Entry to water is flat, which is nice. Parking the boat was easy . The home was very clean and kitchen was well stocked. I never ran out of plates or cups. I appreciated the quality of pans that they had. I would have liked some chip clips, but that’s the only thing I couldn’t find. Hot water never ran out and the beds were comfortable. The refrigerator did not dispense water or ice which was a slight inconvenience. Overall nice property and owners were very responsive.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at this beautiful property! It was very clean, spacious, nicely furnished, and extremely well stocked. We especially loved the screened-in porch, the fireplace, bonfire pit, the stunning views, and wildlife- lots of deer and eagles! The hosts were very attentive and helpful. This was our second time renting here and we can’t wait to come back!

Secluded getaway

This property is well maintained and has loads of space for your belongings. The decor ties in perfectly with the spacious outdoor area and Big St Germaine Lake. The next nearest pier was 100 yards away giving you complete privacy. The firepit was a perfect ending to each day while watching the sunset over the lake. The quality is very high compared to other VRBO rentals in the past. Fishing was good (overall) catching crappy, perch, small mouth bass, northern pike and blue gills. Lots of wildlife around the area, especially deer and the resident bald eagles not to mention the photos we snapped of the elusive Pilated Woodpecker!!! We had an amazing time and loved every minute of our stay.

Great place to stay!!!

The home is very nice and well equipped. We ate most all meals here. The grill was so nice to use. It is so relaxing we just didn’t want to go out. The yard to the dock is flat and it was really nice for senior citizens to enjoy going down to boat or just sitting on the dock. We were centrally located to everything we wanted to do. I highly recommend this property and hope to visit many more times in the future.

Beautiful updated lake home

This home is so lovely, clean and updated. You can tell they took great care with a recent remodel of the house. There is a large level yard and great screened in porch. The lake was pretty windy the week we were there and fishing was tough at times. We visited the 2 smaller lakes that connect and fished the dock when the wind died down. Saint Germain is a great little town to visit as well.

Why they chose this property

Once in a life time opportunity to purchase property on the East side of Big St. Germain lake off a private road with 6+ acres of forest.

What makes this property unique

House is on a private road, shared with 2 other homes. We have 200 feet of lake frontage with an amazing screened in porch (do not rent a home in north woods without a screened in porch!). Being on the East end of the lake, we get a constant breeze. This constant breeze keeps you cool and SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the bugs. Our house faces west for breath taking year long sunsets and lake views like no other. The property features the rare find of level frontage & shallow access to the lake with a sand bottom for great swimming. Large pier for all your water toys.
