About this property

Where eagles soar, the sun sets low and the deer are friendly.

We have three quaint and cozy cabins that each comfortably sleep four.
They will only be available May 1 - October 1.
Each cabin has been renovated inside and out with new, knotty pine bathrooms and updated appliances.
The newly installed heaters will readily take the chill off cool mornings as you awake to the soft rustling of leaves, waves lapping the shoreline and the call of loons. Big Saint Germain Lake is one of the premier fishing lakes in northern Wisconsin. You can find lake details on the Wisconsin DNR website.
Although we do not have a private boat launch the public boat launch is just 1/5 mile to the west of us.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful and peaceful location. Property manager was wonderful to work with before and during. The only suggestion I want to add is nightlights be added in the bathroom and over the kitchen sink. Other than that it was a perfect stay.

Hi Penny! Thanks for the kind words. There is a light above the kitchen sink and the switch is over by the outlets above the stove. It took me a few weeks before I noticed it when I was in the process of getting the cabin ready for rentals. The night light for the bathroom is an easy fix. I'll make sure to buy one this week! ;-) I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. See you next summer! -Larry

Fishing Trip

Great location to get to a bunch of different waters in the area. A little off the beaten path but it wasn’t too far off the main roads. Cabin was nice and they had a fish cleaning hut on the grounds which was convenient. Other than that, it was a great time away.

Eagles View (Verified by myself)

The cabin is very clean and the kitchen has all the utensils you need. We cook breakfast evry day without a problem. I slept on the large bed and it was very comfortable. One morning I had 2 very large bald eagles fly about 30 feet over our cabin. They have a nest right behind the cabin. Great location right on Big St Germain lake, almost right in between Eagle River and Minocqua.

Quiet place in a good location

Basic but clean cabin on a big lake. You are near everything at this location- particularly St. Germain golf course, which is my favorite in the area. Plum Lake 9 hole course is also very close. There is also a very good mountain bike trail (Fern Ridge) less than 2 miles away. The best mountain bike trail (Winman) is a half hour away in Manitowish Waters. Larry, who lives on the property, was nice and helpful at check in. I would stay there again for the location.

Great Family Vacation

We had a great time at Eagle View Resort. The cabin was clean and the lake access was perfect for what we needed. We could dock our fishing boat without a problem. The lake has a little beach area and a shallow sandy bottom. Larry let us borrow the hose to rinse off after swimming to prevent swimmers itch. We saw bald eagles and loons and the guys caught some walleye and pan fish. The kids also enjoyed tubing. It was a truly wonderful time!

Eagle View Resort

My husband I needed a brief break away from our daily routine and our stay at Eagle View Resort was the answer. We took advantage of the quiet woods around the town of St. Germaine, the reflective time sitting on the dock, and dining in the local supper clubs. Our cabin was comfy, but rustic. It reflected the era in which it was built. It very much reminded me of stays up north as a kid. Larry was a wonderful host. Everything went smoothly. I would consider staying again!

Peaceful

Very clean and tidy and the owner was very welcoming, however the beds were uncomfortable and all the furniture was uncomfortable. The couch had a bad squeak when you sat on it, the kitchen table was very squeaky even if you touched it and the recliner was so uncomfortable, that was awful. Hearing the early loons, watching the eagles fis and the many deer on the premises really calmed the senses.

I'm sorry you weren't happy with our furniture Clara. We've never had any complaints before. I'll check them out on the next change over and see what I can do. Beds can always be an issue for certain people. We buy mattresses that are 'happy mediums' so they are neither too soft nor too firm. Those that prefer soft or firm may not necessarily like them. We do the best we can but we can't please everyone when it comes to sleep comfort. The furniture issues most likely can be corrected. Come back next year and let us know of they're any better. Thanks for staying with us! -Larry

Enjoyed the peace and quiet.

We enjoyed our time at the cabin. The host greeted us upon arrival and showed us where to find things. He was very helpful.The bed was very comfortable. However, the furniture in the living room was very uncomfortable (1970's) We ended up bringing in our camp chairs for a comfortable place to sit other than at the kitchen table.If you plan on prepping food there you'll need some mixing bowls. They could use more water glasses.But, overall we had a great time. We don't have a boat, so we travelled to close by lakes that had easy shore fishing and came home with a nice supply of panfish for the freezer. Oh, and by the way, Larry, Go Vikings.
Nice catch of panfish
Fishing at Carrol Lake, a few miles from the cabin.

Hi Mary! I'm sorry you didn't like the couch and recliner in the cabin. I've never had any complaints before. I don't know how old they are and have only sat in them for short periods of time when working in the cabin during the off-season. Would you have any suggestions for replacements? You should have asked me for mixing bowls. I could have purchased them for the cabin while you were here. I'm glad you enjoyed visiting the area lakes. GO PACK GO! -Larry

About the host

Hosted by Larry J. Chamberlain

Host profile image
I am originally from Appleton but spent the last several years living in Minneapolis and Seattle.
After retiring from the Yamaha Corporation of America in 2017 I was fortunate to purchase this property on one of the most popular lakes in the area.
As someone with ancestral connections to this area since 1900 it is now my pleasure to share some of my love for this area with others.

Why they chose this property

Chamberlain’s Eagle View Resort is nestled in a grove of oak trees on the north shore of Big Saint Germain Lake just 2/10 of a mile east of the public boat landing. This makes for easy travel for your boat to our 100’ dock in smooth waters teaming with bluegill, walleye and musky – the King of Fish!
Our property is home to families of deer and is in the glide path of soaring eagles. We have remodeled the bathrooms in all the cabins and updated the plumbing to also include new fixtures and water heaters. All available cabins have been repainted, refurnished, repaired and appliances replaced.

What makes this property unique

Please note correct driving directions below. Some GPS units have incorrect directions.
From Minocqua:
Take Hwy 51 north 3.5 miles to Hwy 70 east. Turn right on Hwy 70 and proceed east for 7.5 miles to Cty Rd C.
Turn left on Cty Rd C and proceed north for 2 miles to Big St Germain Drive.
Turn right on Big St Germain Drive and proceed east 2 miles to Chamberlain's Eagle View Resort.
(Do not turn left on 16 Road.)
We are on the right hand or south side of the road.

From Rhinelander:
Take Hwy 17 north from Rhinelander and proceed 18.5 miles to Hwy 70 west.
Turn left on Hwy 70 and proceed 10.8 miles west through St Germain until you reach the intersection of Hwy 70 and Hwy 155 by Camp's Sentry Foods. Continue north on Hwy 155 for 2.3 miles to Big St Germain Drive.
Turn left and proceed 1 mile west to Chamberlain's Eagle View Resort. We are on the left hand or south side of Big St Germain Drive.
