CAMP EDNA AND BEAR COTTAGE ON STAR LAKE

We just came back from a wonderful weekend spent @ Camp Edna on Star Lake. This has to be the warmest, most welcoming cabin rental in the Northwoods. Everything is here for a great stay. Beds were super comfortable, everything was very clean, bathrooms and kitchen nicely updated. The views of Star Lake from the cabin are stunning! If you want peace and quiet along with rustic, Northwoods elegance, this is the place for you!

Our family had a wonderful vacation at Camp Edna. Star Lake is incredible, clear water, loons, Eagles, and sand beaches. We strongly recommend renting the pontoon boat with the house unless you have your own boat. Swimming off the dock at the house isn't the greatest because of the shallow water and a muck bottom but with the boat you can go to any number of beautiful sand beaches and swim with the loons or float on your back and watch Eagles soaring in the blue sky above.

The house is definitely equipped with every thing needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is fully equipped, it was almost like being at home in your own kitchen. The Northwoods theme resonates throughout the house. Horse shoes were also a hit for our family as was the fire pit. Nightly we had a camp fire and if you haven't made S'mores with Reese's peanut butter cups instead of Hershey's chocolate you need to try it.

Lunch and dinner at Stillwaters was excellent. The people at the Star Lake store were also very nice and helpful.

The owners of Camp Edna were very easy to deal with and will do whatever it takes to insure you enjoy your stay at Camp Edna.

A beautiful place in a wonderful part of our great country!!!

We had a fantastic stay at Camp Edna. The house has everything you need to be comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with pro-grade appliances and utensils, and every room is immersively themed as unmistakably Northwoods. We made fabulous dinners most nights, but we did make it to Stillwaters for their fish fry, which was a lot of fun. Boat rides, fishing, swimming, heading into nearby towns and Minocqua for a day made our vacation fly by. About the lake: Star Lake is stunningly beautiful and pristine, and since it’s on something like 90% state-owned land, the majority of the lake is lined thickly with towering pines, which really highlights its remoteness. We found that the “vibe” of the lake strikes that delicate balance of seclusion, but with just enough life on the lake to bring about that festive feeling of being on vacation. If you like to fish, you’ll find the lake very unique, with exceptionally dramatic structure; 2 feet one second, 60 feet the next, making for very dynamic fishing. A legendary, published Muskie guide lives across the street from Camp Edna, so that tells you something about what’s in this lake. It is highly recommended that you hire caretaker and fishing guide JJ to take you out on the front-end of your stay to get a lay of the lake. He’s very fun and accommodating as well as being skilled, and makes a great fishing buddy. JJ and Mark (the owner) were accessible and you could tell they really cared to make sure we were having a great time. And we did! We had our dog with us and he loved the experience as well. We will definitely come back. Great experience for our family!

What a beautiful,gorgeous, attractive cabin. Highly recommend for a romantic weekend getaway. Can't wait to return for our next visit. On a scale of 1 to 10 this cabin and location are a 15!

If you plan to escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city, this is the place! It is in the woods and secluded! Our group of 8 people spent a wonderful time in this beautiful cabin! From the moment we stepped in, all of us fell in love with Camp Edna! Every detail is thought through which makes this house a special place to be. The cabin can accommodate 8 people easily. The kitchen is fully-equipped with quality dishes and appliances. Each room is adorned beautifully, and the beds are really comfortable! We were impressed with the porch - you step in and find yourself in a winter wonderland because you are surrounded by the trees and snow, but it is warm and cozy because you are inside. Camp Edna offers a private deck which is great for fishing in the summer. Mark, the owner, is a wonderful person - helpful and easygoing, and his motto is "Relax and enjoy your stay." We had a magical vacation and plan to visit Camp Edna in the summer to sit on the porch and contemplate the nature around. Thank you, Mark, for letting us stay at your amazing house.
