Northwoods Hideaway On Crystal Clear Private Carlin Lake
Our cabin is located on the shores of one of the most desired lakes in the Northwoods ! Carlin Lake is a PRIVATE 153 acre crystal clear gem with NO public access. The cabin is situated on 10 acres with 440 ft of frontage. On the outside there is a private sandy beach, pier for your boat and a fire pit with a swing and 2 rocking adirondack chairs. Whether you want to swim, fish, enjoy water sports or just relax with your favorite book. There is also a picnic table and a charcoal Weber grill, canoe and rowboat for your enjoyment. There are many excellent restaurants nearby to satisfy your taste buds. Close to bicycle, hiking, snowshoe and cross country ski and snowmobile trails also. On the inside the master bedroom has a queen size bed. The second bedroom offers a queen size and full size bed and plenty of storage. A/C is available but rarely used as the summer nights are typically cool. For the winter nights there is a newly installed 2021 HVAC system. The bathroom offers tub and shower. The kitchen includes refrigerator, electric stove / oven, microwave (located on porch ) and a regular coffee maker and a Kuerig coffee maker along with all cookware and utensils. Recent remodeling included converting the carport into a beautiful THREE season room complete with a farm table with seating for six and a large sofa sectional. We also have WiFi. We are on a newer 2016 well but still ask that we use water conservatively. Recently remodeled 2024 walls and ceilings to knotty tongue and groove pine for that true Northwoods look and feel. NOTE: Three season room is NOT heated. Security cameras installed on driveway and lakeside.

Beautiful, clean and comfortable cabin in a great location! We saw deer right outside the window, and an eagle flew over the pier while we were sitting there. Highly recommend and hope to stay again in the summer.
My friends and I had a great time at Rich’s cabin. The lake was gorgeous and the cabin was well-equipped and comfy as expected. Rich was responsive and checked in to see if we needed anything. I only wish we’d had longer to stay.
Tucked back in the woods with a lake front view. Very cozy and clean. Owner was super easy to communicate with and will more than likely rent again. Wi-Fi and streaming TV were a nice bonus.
We had a great time here. The cabin was very clean. We used the fire pit, and grill nearly every day. Fishing was fun in the row boat provided. Very quiet lake. Would highly recommend!
Owner was not on site but extremely responsive. Nice hot shower and everything you could need in the kitchen plus charcoal grill outside. Too cold to swim (late Sept) but gorgeous Fall colors!
This cabin is on a beautiful lake in a quiet part of the North Woods. It would be a good lake for any type of boating, but of course in December it was frozen like concrete. We were up north for XC skiing, and found several places nearby with very good trails. This area gets a fair amount of snow, including some lake effect from Superior. We had a great time.
The cabin is well outfitted and has plenty of heat. The owner was very friendly and easy to work with. There is a three-season porch that would be great in the summer.

Great Time!
We stayed at this cabin with a group of 4 in September. The cabin was clean and well stocked. The attached open air car port is a great feature allowing for grilling, seating and dry storage for our outdoor gear. The boat landing was within eye sight of the property. Private Carlin lake was as clean and clear as advertised and the lake is full of big smallmouth and largemouth bass. The owner (Rich) was easily reached, quick to return any messages and very friendly to work with. I would encourage anyone to take advantage of this rental as it's likely your only opportunity to access this hidden gem of a lake in Northern Vilas county. Thank you for the experience Rich.
The cabin was absolutely perfect. Well-furnished with everything we needed, and plenty of spaces for us to relax, work, and just enjoy the beauty of Carlin lake.
The neighbors sharing the property were extremely nice and helpful, and we're hoping to visit the property again next year.
Cozy, comfy, clean. Bright surrounds made brighter by cheerful neighbors next door. Fully-equipped kitchen, solid beds and mattresses, instant hot water, smart TV powered by reliable wi-fy. Accessible, attentive owners. All the creature comforts. No complaints. Hope to return.
No complaints - I go to fish Carlin Lake for LM bass. Therefore, it was a good week. The improvement to the cabin are very nice and create a comfortable place to relax and enjoy my time when I am not on the water.
We take the week before Memorial Day every year to avoid the crowds, and stay in different Northern Wisconsin areas. The weather did not cooperate this year, but we enjoyed our best spring vacation in many years! We loved the lake, it was basically all ours. And the whole area is beautiful.
A beautiful, quiet lakefront location in the north woods. Owner was very friendly and accommodating, the lake is gorgeous, neighbors were quiet and friendly….this was our first trip to Manitowish Waters….and we hope to return regularly.
