This cozy, clean cabin checked off several boxes:
- a secluded, quiet setting
- sandy bottom lake and long pier for swimming and relaxing
- campfire ring with plenty of seating
- canoes with life vests
- old-school cabin with plenty of sleeping options, outfitted kitchen with newer appliances. Big windows let in a lot of light and fresh breezes.
Some surprise extras included a ping pong table that got a ton of use by our family, the wood-burning fireplace for nights when it got chilly and a hammock to relax in under the pines. Also, you will hear loons every day--guaranteed! Eagle River is within a 20 minute drive for eating, grocery shopping, etc. There are also several family- and dog-friendly hiking trails in the area.
And the lack of Wifi and cell service really helped us unplug--you will have to get a bit closer to town if you want to check Yelp, post photos to Instagram, etc. The owner, who lives nearby, was very responsive to questions and provided plenty of suggestions for places to eat, hike and visit. Be sure to check out the island across from the cabin!
