Whitetail Ridge: Lakefront Home, FREE Wi-Fi/Firewood, Generator, No Cleaning Fee
WHITETAIL RIDGE
Welcome to our newly constructed Whitetail Ridge lakefront vacation home with panoramic views of beautiful Lost Lake in Vilas County. Lost Lake is a 550 acre, full recreational lake and is considered a hidden gem, yet only five minutes north of Saint Germain.
This 2200 sq. ft. home (with an additional 140 sq. ft. screen porch) was designed so you can vacation in style and will comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests with the 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and spacious, open kitchen/dining/great room gathering area.
As you enter, you’ll be welcomed with warm and inviting rustic North woods décor including vaulted ceilings with natural wood finishes and a heartwarming, stone front, gas fireplace. You’ll enjoy the stunning lake views through the extensive, lakeside windows.
The well-appointed kitchen features beautiful, rustic hickory cabinets, a center island, pantry cabinet, high-end appliances including a built-in dishwasher and microwave.
Enjoy the 3-season porch that allows for bug-free happy hours and game playing or the large deck if you prefer to gather outside.
The home is equipped with a backup generator so no need to worry about power outages during your stay.
An aluminum row boat is provided with this rental property. The boat is licensed so you are able to bring/rent a motor for it, if you like. Also, enjoy the 4 kayaks w/paddles and the paddle boat. Possible pontoon boat available to rent during your stay...Inquire if available. Enjoy the many bike trails with the tandem bike located in the garage. You'll want to bring your own helmets.
Whitetail Ridge is located on both the UTV/ATV trails and the Bo-Boen Snowmobile Trail. Our winter guests can directly access the lake from the property when heading out snowmobiling or ice fishing. The Bo-Boen Snowmobile Trail crosses over Lost Lake so you're able to connect to it nearby on the lake or right at the end of our road. You can also sled into town or head north to connect to hundreds of miles of groomed trails throughout the Northwoods.
Guests who enjoy fishing will appreciate the remodeled fish cleaning house next door with it's 10' stainless steel sink and running water. It's available to our guests all year round...whether fishing in the summer or ice fishing during the winter season.
Have a large group wanting to rent? In addition to our Whitetail Ridge vacation home, we also own the property next door…Gone Fish Inn (completely remodeled in 2019) and Otter Place (completely remodeled in 2026).
We have been vacationing at Lost Lake for many years with family and friends and hope you’ll make this your home away from home destination for years to come.
**Dogs are considered for an additional fee of $150 per dog (maximum of two dogs...a separate invoice will be sent for the second dog fee). Undisclosed pets will be charged a separate fee starting at $200. Due to allergies, cats are not allowed.

Stayed here for snowmobile trip February 2026. House was in a great location next to snowmobile access to the lake to head north. House was very clean. Hosts were easy to contact if we needed anything.

We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at our Whitetail Ridge vacation home and that you recommend our property to others. We'd love for you to stay with us again.
Our stay was so relaxing and all six of us loved everything about the week. Although the weather didn’t cooperate as much as we would have liked we still found lots to do in the area: biking, shopping, hiking, kayaking.The house had everything we needed and we ended up only going out for three meals the whole week because the kitchen was great and we enjoyed cooking together.

There are so many fun things to do in the area, and it sounds like your group found a few to enjoy. We love hearing that you enjoyed cooking meals at the lake house together. We try to equip it with everything our guests might need. Thank you for sharing about your time spent at our lake house.
This is a very nice house in a great location with a great view of the lake. The owners were very accommodating and helpful, and the ameneties included are great (rowboat, kayaks, firewood). I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for sharing about your experience at our property. We always love to hear that our guests enjoyed their stay. We hope you'll return again in the future!
We spent a wonderful week with extended family in this beautiful home. Everyone had a comfortable bed for sleeping and the softest blankets.The kitchen pantry space available for a group this size was very much appreciated. The kitchen has everything you could need - even things you'd forget to pack like chip clips, storage containers for leftovers and dishes, cups and utensils for kiddos. The living space is so cozy that watching a storm roll in on the lake through the huge wall of windows will make you instantly forget about any stormy weather. The owners were very understanding when our reservation changed after our family pet passed away. It's clear in every detail on the property that the owners take pride in this location. Thank you for sharing this special place with guests! Don't hesitate to stay here during your next vacation.

It was so nice meeting you in person during your stay. We do try to make our guests' stays a great experience for them. We often hear how clean our property is and that the kitchen is well equipped as you mentioned. It was great hearing that you enjoyed the view of the lake with all the large windows that run along the lakeside of the house. We hope we get the opportunity to host you again in the future!
Our family group of 8 had a fantastic time at this property. We loved the house as it was clean and big enough for all of us. We snowmobiled and enjoyed the winter outdoors.

My family visited Saint Germain for a long weekend in October. The lake house is beautiful, spacious, and well-stocked. Our kids loved the bunk room in the basement, fishing off the dock, and relaxing on the swing and by the fire pit. The owners had great communication and we look forward to visiting again next fall!

We had a wonderful experience in this beautiful and spacious home located on Lost Lake. The kitchen was large and very accommodating for preparing Thanksgiving dinner. The home is everything we hoped it would be for our family gathering. We had a great time!

They thought of everything! Absolutely perfect location for our snowmobile trip! And super easy to find coming across the lake with a brught light by the property! Great communication with the owner's!
The property itself is immaculate inside and outside. Located within 5 miles in any direction are shopping, restaurants, supper clubs and more.
We were there for the fishing and didn’t take advantage of much, but this is an ideal family location as well. Fall was in full color and wildlife was out in abundance.
Great place and friendly hosts.

The house was nicer than the pictures, and even though there wasn’t snow to go snowmobiling as planned, Al and Debbie gave us a large list of other things to do! Had an amazing time and we will most definitely be back!

We're happy you found other things to do in the Northwoods even though there wasn't enough snow for your planned snowmobile trip. We loved hosting you and would love to do so again in the future.
The house was just perfect for our family that consisted of 6 adults and 5 kids. It is spacious, clean and cozy. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook every meal, you just need to bring the food. We went ice fishing every day and with it being right on the lake and with so many lakes surrounding the area it was ideal. The owners are fabulous and respond very quickly to any questions.

We loved everything about this property! So much space for everyone and all of the amenities you’d need! We loved all of the supplies in the kitchen. It was nice to not have to worry about bringing anything for cooking. Everything was very clean and well kept! We are hoping to come back next year!!

We had a wonderful time at this lake home! The house was very clean, new, and fully stocked. The kids loved taking the paddleboat out and the adults loved kayaking. Love the seating outside and the fire pit - we had a campfire every night (loved that firewood was provided). All the Northwoods decor was fantastic. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation here!

Excellent house. A total of 8 stayed at the house and there was plenty of room. Garage use was very nice as most places don’t allow access to the garage. I would definitely recommend this house to others.

Our stay at Whitetail Ridge was amazing. It was our annual family cabin weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The house was furnished very nicely and stocked with everything you would need to make your stay comfortable. The outside was just as nice from the firepit for smores making to the great lake and sandy beach the kids had the best time. Wouldn't change a thing!

We stayed one week at this beautiful property with our family of 6 adults & 4 children (6 - 11). There was so much to do!! Adults relaxed while kids played from morning to night in the water with kayaks, paddleboat, rowboat & a standup paddleboard we rented. It was just what everyone needed during this pandemic!!!

We love hearing that our guests enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat we added to the property. It truly is a great place to spend time...especially during these times. Per your request, we've added you to our "Wait List" and will contact you if anything opens up in July next year. Thank you for reviewing our lake home.
We stayed for a snowmobile trip however there was no snow. We brought ATV’s, went ice fishing and played around on the ice. The property was fantastic and the house was amazing. This house handled 10 of us plus local friends that stopped for visits while we were there. The property owners were fantastic and extremely easy to get a hold of. I would stay again in a heart beat.
