Located on the sandy shores of Lost Lake in St. Germain, this home is the perfect destination for travelers looking to indulge in a private, lakefront vacation surrounded by breathtaking views incuding nature's most beautiful wildlife. Enjoy spectacular sunsets, create memories around the fire pit or cuddle up around the fireplace in cooler seasons. Sunset Cove provides unique seclusion, nestled between beautiful trees on each side tucked away from surrounding lake homes. You cannot beat the location - a southwest facing bay where babbling Stella creek meets the calming waves of Lost Lake. It provides a perfectly level, clear and safe space for swimming and excellent fishing. Swans, ducks and bald eagles are all frequent visitors to this impeccably manicured lakefront retreat.
This home has been perfectly appointed to provide all the conveniences of home in a pristine lakefront setting. With floor to ceiling windows facing the lake, the kitchen and living areas at Sunset Cove are bathed in warm, natural light. The kitchen features newer appliances and a charming pub table for entertaining your family and friends. Both bedrooms are conveniently located off of the great room, the master has one queen bed with the second bedroom providing a twin over twin bunkbed and a queen bed.
Lost Lake is 539 acres with a sandy-bottom and clear water known for excellent fishing and water sports of all kinds. The property is surrounded by ATV and snowmobile trails, and is a popular fishing destination with anglers reeling in a variety of species from panfish to Musky and Walleye. You can explore by pontoon, canoe or fishing boat, paddle across the lake or swim right from the property. Lost Creek connects Lost Lake to Big St. Germain Lake, kayaking and water enthusiasts will be overjoyed with the possibilities! For our cold-weather friends, Sunset Cove is a coveted destination for ice fisherman with great fishing right outside the back door of the property. Looking for more adventure? Explore over 500+ miles of snowmobile trails that connect right to the property for convenient access.
When it's time to refuel, enjoy the convenience of a lakefront bar and grill, Patti's Murmuring Waters, just across the lake from the property. Want to get out and explore? Sunset Cove is 10 minutes from downtown St. Germain, 15 minutes from the shops of quaint Eagle River, and 25 minutes from the infamous Minocqua.
The public boat launch is just minutes from the property by car or boat. Pontoons, fishing boats, kayaks, and paddle board rentals are available through Hiller Vacation Homes.

This was a very nice property. The owner was very helpful. Our stay was in the winter and was great for ice fishing and snowmobiling. It was only a 10 minute drive to St. Germain and about 20 minutes to Eagle River.
Very much enjoyed our stay. Didnt spend much time at home as we were out and about alot. But time flew too fast and very quickly it was time to pack our bags. Beautiful setting!
Overall the house was great-pictures online matched the house in person. The neighbors were quiet, the lake was peaceful. Communication was fantastic, the management company checked in several times. We were a little surprised the grass was so long and that they don’t spray for mosquitoes and ticks, given that it’s a rental. But it is the Northwoods so be mindful of that! We killed about 10 ticks inside. Saw some eagles which was fun!! Our kids and dog absolutely loved it. Also make sure to read the listing, you need to bring your own towels and toilet paper (a couple rolls were provided), seasonings, etc. A cute little place, would stay again!

It was fine for the north woods.
Clean. Newer appliances and updated. Worked out well for a few guys snowmobiling. The only thing we can suggest is to make more room for large snowmobile trailers.
Thank you

Reviewer Comments:
We had a great time here. Loved the scenery. Fishing was great and our dog loved the shoreline. We experienced many wild life encounters. The eagles were very active during our stay. As for fishing, the best catch was a large musky right of the dock. Would definitely return for another stay. I do recommend renting a boat, which we regret for not doing so. Many family memories with a great scenery were captured here. One drawback was the walkway from the shore to the dock. Small pathway felt like you were sinking in as you made your way to dock, not a big issue but besides that all around great place to stay at. The property was clean and well maintained. The location was great and private as mentioned.

Great Lake but many problems
We booked this lake house thinking it was very remote, based on the photos, as they do not make it clear there is a neighboring house within about 50' of the front door. It still felt private to us, only because no one was in their other rental next door during our trip.
While the lake/beach were fantastic, we encountered a number of unexpected issues that forced us to leave a full day early:
-Very uncomfortable/cheap mattresses leading to body aches and pains (we messaged ahead to check that beds were upgrade and they said yes).
-Mildew in the bathroom
-Landscapers showed up unannounced during a holiday week and forced us to vacate the yard and beach area on our last full day at the lake house
-Hiller not taking responsibility for issues (for example claimed house owners hired landscapers when landscapers said they were hired by Hiller)
-Unnecessarily early check out time (8AM), claimed to be necessary for cleaning - cleanliness of cabin did not reflect this
-Dirty carpet with 10+ pet stains and bad pet smells, not as advertised in the pictures
-Broken window screen in master bedroom preventing windows from being open which resulted in bad indoor air quality
-Broken stand up paddle board (Hiller did come and give us a replacement, but it took 2 days)
The Hiller Vacation group did not respond appropriately to our concerns. Unfortunately we would not recommend anyone stay with them based on our experience.

A wonderful location, watching the sun set across the lake in front of a warming fire - what more can you want! The location is perfect, an early fall trip with colors starting to frame the lake made it even prettier.The property is super comfortable - I especially liked the big corner sofa for chilling out and watching the world through the big patio doors!Lots of nature on the lake - and a good old Bald Eagle visitor to finish the vacation!Hillier were perfect, professional, prompt and made the whole experience a great one.

Our second consecutive stay there and it was as good as the first. Clean inside & out. Nice size kitchen & living room with a great fireplace. Bedrooms of adequate size, roomy enough for sleeping. Close to the lake with a great view. Attached garage a plus. Definetely would recommend this place to others.

Our week on lost lake was great and we have many good memories. We really enjoyed the 4th of July boat parade. My oldest son owns a house also on Lost lake. We also have family in Sayner so we were able to visit with them. Our three sons and their families were also visiting in the area so it was a great week with great weather.

Our family enjoyed our stay at Sunset Cove. The house was clean and well maintained. It was nice to have a washer and dryer. Lots of wildlife - ducks, geese, bald eagles, deer. Fishing from the dock was terrific for our granddaughter.
Once we understood that wood for the great fireplace was not furnished, that there was no hair dryer, and that temperature gradients within the cabin were higher than we are accustomed to, we settled in and enjoyed what the cabin had to offer. The outside scenery was great and close to x-c groomed trails which was the main reason for spending a few days in the area.
We truly enjoyed our stay on Lost Lake. The house was perfect for 4 adults. The location to the riding trails was amazing also. We will definitely look to book this house on our next trip!
Everything was great!!!! The price point for the property is spot on it has everything you need and more. The wood burning fireplace was great to warm up to after a long day on the lake fishing. Close to many bars and reasturants so there are many options for dinner or lunch if you don't want to cook. Highly recommend this property!!!!
We had an amazing time over the weekend. The property was beautiful and quiet and scenic. It was clean and cozy as well. The only minor issue we had was that the mattresses were incredibly firm and a little uncomfortable for three nights. But the bed frames were so cute and the decor was so rustic and inviting.
Absolutely loved the secluded location for a weekend away. Beautiful lake views and scenic area for outdoor recreation, and the fireplace was a perfect touch for a slightly unexpected snowy weekend. The cabin was clean and accommodating - the kitchen had mostly all of the must-haves for cooking, which made it very easy to pack and plan! Would definitely stay again. Thanks for letting us enjoy your property!
My wife and I loved the experience. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the view of the lake and especially the fireplace. Would definitely visit again!
