Shady Lane Lodge
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Book a week at Shady Lane Lodge, a charming lakeside retreat, nestled in the heart of Eagle River, Wisconsin, perfect for a relaxing getaway year-round. Options abound being centrally located between St Germain and Eagle River. Just a short drive from downtown, this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home comfortably accommodates up to six guests with its spacious living areas, modern kitchen, and two bathrooms. The beautifully designed interior features warm hardwood floors and a fully equipped kitchen with upgraded appliances, ideal for family meals or entertaining. Enjoy stunning views of McDonald Lake from the private dock or gather around the firepit for a cozy evening under the stars.
Shady Lane Lodge offers year-round outdoor adventure with access to over 70 miles of ATV/UTV trails, and in the winter, the property is directly on a snowmobiling trail, connecting you to the renowned Eagle River '500' system. In the warmer months, you can enjoy fishing, kayaking, and hiking, or take a short day-trip to attractions like Bond Falls and Copper Peak offering scenic beauty and panoramic views. Whether you're here for summer swimming, fall foliage, or winter snowmobiling, the lodge provides the perfect base for outdoor fun.
The lodge is also close to downtown Eagle River, where you'll find a variety of dining options, including Friendship House Family Restaurant, Aiello's on Wall Street, and Smuggler’s, offering everything from casual meals to gourmet experiences. After a day of exploration, unwind with a drink at Mary Kate’s Wine Bar or enjoy a classic supper at Eddie B’s White Spruce Restaurant & Tavern.
Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, Shady Lane Lodge offers the perfect retreat for creating unforgettable memories with family and friends.
