The Top-Rated Cabins in Northwest Wisconsin

Isabelle Creek Haven — Pierce County, sleeps 14

The one we send big groups to. Four bedrooms, a great room that actually fits fourteen people comfortably, and the Mississippi River valley a few minutes away. Seventeen direct reviews, all tens.

Gratitude Up North — Round Lake near Hayward, sleeps 8

On the clearest big lake in the Hayward area, 22 feet of visibility. Rocky shoreline, fantastic fishing on a private lot, Hayward’s restaurants minutes away.

Hytte Ro — Birch Island Lake, Burnett County, sleeps 4

Small, Scandinavian, looks like a cabin out of a magazine, and loved for exactly that. Twenty-one reviews. The cabin for two people who want privacy without typical water access.

A-Frame DGP — Tainter Lake near Menomonie, sleeps 6

Our most-reviewed cabin and the one couples and small friend groups book again. The A-frame itself is the draw: adventure seekers take a short hike down to the cabin, nice views of the river with access to Tainter Lake, and Jake’s Supper Club just down the road.

Gilmore Lake — near Minong, sleeps 6

Beautiful log cabin with high-end finishes and furniture. A private spot with sandy frontage on a great lake.

Little Minnow Lake House — Shell Lake, sleeps 8

On one of the clearest lakes in the state, sand and rock bottom off the dock, and a walk to town. A great cabin in a quiet neighborhood that works for a family week.

The Elk Inn — Lower Clam Lake, Sawyer County, sleeps 6

Thirteen reviews, every one a ten. Quiet lake, no road noise, the kind of place guests describe as ‘we didn’t leave for three days.’ Part of an old resort with a decent walk down to the water, well worth it once you get there.

Big Sand Lake Escape — Big Sand Lake, Burnett County, sleeps 6

1,400 acres of Outstanding Resource Water and 12 feet of clarity. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a lake big enough to spend a day on. Walking distance to Sandbar on 70 for drinks with friends, or head down the road to one of the many restaurants in the area.

North Sand Lake — Sand Lake, Burnett County

A beautiful, crystal-clear lake that’s great for fishing and boating. The cabin is clean and quaint, with just enough space to keep you comfortable between your time on the water and the campfire.

Big McKenzie — Big McKenzie Lake, Washburn County, sleeps 8

An Outstanding Resource Water with 11 feet of clarity, and the best fishing lake we have. Four bedrooms, three baths, which is why families keep picking it year after year.
