Oak Ridge Cottage on the Best Fishing Lake in the Northwoods

IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BRINGING YOUR OWN BOAT, you need to contact us (send an inquiry through this site) prior to making an ON LINE booking so we can determine if we have a suitable boat-lift for your boat. We rent boat-lifts (to make sure your boat is safe) for $75/week or $25 for the first day and $10 for the following day(s) - whichever is less. Every guest who brings his/her boat must use a boat lift, because it is impossible to "park" the boat by the shore. Please note - the fee for a boat-lift is not included in the cost of renting the cottage.
It is not allowed to use any kind of air-conditioners in the cottage.
In summer time (June 01 to August 30, 2024) the cottage is rented for FULL weeks only: Saturday to Saturday. Off-season we rent for three nights minimum.
There is WiFi access available in our office for checking e-mail.
Our property is inspected and licensed by the Vilas County, WI, Public Health Department.
You will be very happy with our spacious, modern, super clean, housekeeping 2 bedroom cottage which can accommodate up to 6 guests (UPON PRIOR ARRANGEMENT) on 1 double bed, 2 twin beds and a futon. Quotes you receive through this site are based on a standard rate for up to 4 guests in the cottage. There is an extra fee required for the 5th and 6th person in the cottage: $75 per week per person, or $25 per night - whichever is less. The cottage is completely furnished including bed linens. Please, remember to bring your own bathroom towels and kitchen dishtowels+dishwashing liquid. A big, modern kitchen has a full size refrigerator, gas stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and all necessary pots, pans, plates and utensils. There is also a DVD player and a TV set in the cottage (there is no TV reception at our location). You can bring your PET for a vacation here: a weekly rate is $95 per pet; a daily rate is $35 for the first night and $10 for the following night(s). There will be a $100 fee charged for cleaning IF dog hairs are found on bed spreads, blankets, any bed sheets, or furniture. All guests will be required to give a credit card number upon registration.

The cottage is located on beautiful Lac Vieux Desert Lake in the heart of Wisconsin's Northwoods lake country and the Nicolet National Forest. We are just a few miles north of Eagle River, WI. We are open all year round and offer you a knotty-pine interior cottage that will suit all your lodging and accommodation needs, all surrounded by beautiful and fragrant old pine trees and majestic oaks. There is an abundance of wildlife here, on the lake and in the area. Make sure you bring a pair of binoculars with you - there are a lot of eagle nests all around the lake and you can see and hear eagles and loons every day. You will also see ducks, swans, and otters here. Deer very often visit the area.

We are located on the south shore of Lac Vieux Desert, the headwaters of the Wisconsin River.

Our beautiful lake is famous of its record musky (a World Record Musky was caught here), walleye, northern pike, perch, small mouth and large mouth bass and panfish fishing, and is one of the largest in the state with 4300 acres and 19 miles of fantastic shoreline and 4 islands.

The 610 sq. ft. cottage (located 15 yards from the lake's shore) has 250' lake frontage to be used by our guests. There are two piers on the property to be used by our guests.

No refunds for early departure. Rates based on 4 people occupancy in the cottage. Additional person (up to 6 in the cottage) $25 per night or $75 per week - whichever rate is lower.
If you are not charged for the following items when you make a reservation on line, you will be required to pay for them directly to us upon arrival / registration by check or cash:
- for the 5th and 6th person in the cottage: $25/person per night if you stay for less than a week, or $75 per person if you stay for a full week (7 nights);
- per pet: $95.00 per week or $35.00 first night and $10.00 following nights (but no more than $95.00 total);
- boat motor rental: $269.00 per week or $75.00 a day + 6 gal fuel tank (market price) ( no more than $269.00 + gas );
- boat lift: $75.00 per week or $25.00 first night and $10.00 following nights (but no more than $75.00 total)

Come stay with us any time of the year and enjoy many wonderful vacation activities in spring and summer such as swimming, fishing, boating, canoeing, hiking, berry picking, golfing, horse back riding, bicycling, ATV riding, scenic driving and wildlife watching. There is plenty to do in fall and winter, too. You can enjoy watching the northern forests burst into brilliant fall colors as well as hunting, ice fishing, snowmobiling or cross country skiing. The cottage is located on the snowmobile trail and you have access to over 600 miles of Vilas County snowmobiling trails in the Nicolet National Forest.

Great fishing
The cottage is rustic with knotty pine walls. Bathroom has been updated. The cottage is heated and hot water heater is new. Modern kitchen. Extras include private locked shed for storing fishing equipment and well equipped fish cleaning house with freezer, sink, filet knives etc. We caught a lot of fish from the dock. Very peaceful and private.

About the host

Hosted by Katherine Rozwenc

Host profile image
We bought the property in 2007 because we were coming for vacation to Lac Vieux Desert Lake for the last 20 years and we're in love with the Northwoods. We appreciate the beauty of this area and we want our guests to enjoy themselves so we do our best to make their stay comfortable and memorable.

Why they chose this property

Lac Vieux Desert lake (4300 acres) is the best all year round fishing lake in Northern Wisconsin. It is located in the heart of 650,000 acres of Nicolet National Forest and very close (the north shore of the lake) to 2.2 million acres of Ottawa National Forest. This lake offers a lot of fishing excitement (musky, walleye, northern, crappie, bluegill, perch, bass) as well as wonderful relaxation like no other place in the Northwoods.
