About this property

Nature's Edge: Lakefront Home - WiFi, Free Firewood, Generator, No Cleaning Fee!

Escape to the Wisconsin Northwoods and book your family vacation in our newly-constructed lakefront home located on the sandy south shore of Lost Lake with panoramic views of what is considered a “Hidden Gem”. Nature’s Edge features an open concept design that draws your attention to the breathtaking views of the lake. It offers over 2300 square feet of space for your family and friends to enjoy. The spacious main level great room allows for large gatherings while the lower level family room is the ideal space for the kids to gather for games, puzzles, watching TV, or just hanging out together. The patio door leads to a 10' x 20' deck with additional seating to enjoy your morning coffee to start your day and it’s the perfect place to spend quality time with family and friends. Relax around the lakeside fire pit: we offer free firewood for your use. Take the 2 kayaks that were added in 2022 for some fun on the lake. Fish from the private dock or take the rowboat out to catch your trophy fish. We also have a canoe and paddle boat to enjoy time on the water.

After a day full of fun and entertainment, retire to the bedrooms for a good night’s sleep. All bedrooms have sound barriers in the walls to provide peace and quiet for those seeking solitude. Nature’s Edge sleeps 12 people: two king bedrooms on the main floor have lakeside views while the queen bedroom is on the back side of the home. The lower level has the fourth bedroom with two sets of log bunk beds and the family room has a queen sofa sleeper; both rooms with lakeside views.

We hope you enjoy the wilderness décor throughout the home. The natural hickory cabinets and cedar plank ceilings provide a warmth for that up-north feel you desire to escape to. Winter vacationers will appreciate curling up in front of the gas fireplace with a warm blanket and a cup of hot chocolate. The swivel chairs are a perfect spot to sit by the large window overlooking the lake: it truly is a beautiful view!

The shoreline is described by many as the best fishing spot on this 544-acre lake. Pan fish are easily caught right off the dock. Muskie and bass are also frequently caught right out in front of the unit. The lake is fully recreational and has plenty of crappies, perch, walleyes, and northern pike. There is a newly-remodeled, heated fish cleaning house for you to use after a successful day of fishing!

Connect to the famous Bo-Boen Snowmobile Trail and the St. Germain ATV Club Trail at the end of our private road. We also provide direct access to the lake in the winter for snowmobiliers. There is plenty of parking space to accommodate your trailers, too.

The St. Germain area is located halfway between Eagle River and Minocqua and is known for its many summer and winter activities. An immaculate 18-hole golf course is located nearby along with another 9-hole course and a par-3 course. There are many Northwoods supper clubs, bars, and restaurants nearby for a “night out” if cooking over the campfire isn’t your style.

Make our vacation home the perfect start to a new family tradition, creating memories together that will last a lifetime! If you have other family members or friends looking to vacation together, we also own the Cedar Lodge property next door that sleeps 8 people. Book both Nature's Edge and Cedar Lodge to enjoy a large lakefront getaway with your entire family. Enjoy every season in the Northwoods with year-round rentals available at both of our places. Our current renters are given the first opportunity to rebook for the following year so if you're interested in starting a yearly tradition, Nature's Edge and Cedar Lodge are great places to choose for your family vacation. Some of our guests have been coming for more than 40 years!!

New Year’s trip

This is a beautiful cabin right on the lake. The view from the great room looking over the lake is amazing. It is very spacious, with the boys having their own space in the finished basement. The owners were very quick to get back to us when we had questions. This is a property would definitely go back to!

Amazing Getaway

Our stay was amazing at Nature’s Edge, I will definitely rent this place again. The owners communication was so appreciated leading up to our stay and when we arrived we were greeted by the most beautiful view of the lake. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed for our stay and more. It was clean and felt like a home away from home.

Great cabin, wonderful lake

We stayed on Lost Lake years ago and it was great to come back. This cabin is very beautiful and has many amenities you don’t always find in an Up North cabin. It was super clean. Beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed a very relaxing stay and would love to come back.

Great location for snowmobiling

Awesome place to stay if you are snowmobiling. Trail is right on Lost Lake not far from the house and will take you quickly to the main trails. They have a fenced off trail to get you off the lake and park right by the garage. Once inside it's just an awesome place. Handled us 7 adults easily and could do a few more without any difference. Will for sure consider for next year!!!!

Family getaway

We had a wonderful weekend with our family of 5 adults and 4 kids under age 10 years. We had 2 couples and 1 single adult so the upstairs bedroom layouts worked out great and the 4 kids stayed downstairs in the bunk room with their own little den and bathroom. The home was very clean and spacious. We had everything we needed to prepare meals. The lake itself is quiet and beautiful with bald eagles flying overhead! It was also great having access to kayaks and the paddle boat. The owner is very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice relaxing weekend with family or friends!

Annual Vendor Snowmobile Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental home was pristine, our guests were impressed with all the amenities, layout and cleanliness. This is our 4th year in a row renting through Hiller vacation Homes, it only gets better each time. The Hospitality app is amazing, the ease of use to share the home information and details with others along with the check-in process eliminated the typical stress of travel arrangements, hats off to whomever implemented the app!

Fantastic and Exceptionally Clean

A few words to describe this property are -Heavenly - Gorgeous - Awesome - Fantastic. If I could rate this a 10 star property I would. Our initial communication with the property owner through our departure exceeded our expectations. The cottage is beautiful and exceptionally clean!! We have traveled and spent time in many VRBOs across the country & this was by far the cleanest and best property in a variety of ways. The furniture (beds, chairs, couch, etc) were clean, comfortable, and all relatively new. The property was nicely decorated, the owner has done a great job (& we loved the knotty pine). Kitchen is well-stocked, & well-organized, w/everything in the cupboards (glasses, etc) being so clean. Layout of home is perfect (cozy, open & spacious) and the lower level is definitely a bonus area w/a living room, table, bedroom, & bathroom. The garage is perfect for unloading/loading your car, making it an easy process. Lake access is easy; great view of lake from living room. Loved access to kayaks, canoe, etc . Short drive to St Germaine if you need to get into town. Owner, Karen, who we were fortunate to meet is wonderful!! She is a great w/communication-responds quickly many times within minutes. It is apparent the owners take great pride in this property. This is a true gem & we felt fortunate to be able to use this property & will be back again. This property is the whole package, GREAT home, location, lake, owners, communication!
