Family-friendly - Pontoon boat included - Quiet and private location

The Cottage

The cottage has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a full kitchen, a living room, and a screen porch. One bedroom has a full bed, and the other bedroom has 3 beds (a queen and two twins). There are also two additional twin beds located in the old boat house which has been converted to a bunkhouse. There is a firepit onsite which firewood is provided, as well as a gas grill available for use.

Our cabin is only about 25 feet from the water, giving you a great view of the lake. The setting is very private, as you can not see the neighbors on either side of you due to forests. The water is swimmable with a nice sandy bottom. There are some reeds mid to late summer that surround the dock area.

A 25 Foot Pontoon Boat with 40HP 4-stroke motor docked at the cottage is INCLUDED in rental price. This is a fishing/cruise pontoon and will work well for either purpose.

Columbus Lake is a 600+ Acre lake located in Sugar Camp Wisconsin. The lake has no 'public' access, therefore it does not have heavy fishing pressure or boat traffic like most other lakes. The lake is abundant with walleyes, panfish, perch, northern pike, and muskie. The shoreline is a sandy bottom, with some reeds surrounding the dock located at the cottage. .

***Two Kayaks are now provided at no additional cost***
**There is no public boat landing on this lake. It is typically NOT possible to launch your own boat**
*There is NO internet - cell reception is typically ok depending on carrier.

***Most pets are accepted- There is a $50 per pet fee (for your entire stay, not per night)***

Quiet location on end of dead end road. Dense trees between properties, so very private. Boat ran great and most of the time we were to only ones on the lake. So convenient having the firewood provided. Cabin was clean and worked well for our family of 6. We had such a great time that we booked again for next year.

Absolutely gorgeous view of the lake. Enjoyed watching the ducks swim along the shore, the eagle soar high above, and hearing the distance call of the loon. We fished from the pier and took the pontoon for a pleasure cruise along with some more fishing time. Fried up our catch for a delicious meal. Such a relaxing stay.

It was a very nice time. The lake was nice and the area was so quiet. The fire pit area was VERY nice and the beds were comfortable. The pier was very close to the cabin and the pontoon was great to fish from. The updated kitchen and bathroom was nice. The host was very helpful. We would stay there again.

We had a nice family vacation here! The property is very quiet, prefect for relaxing. The cabin itself was clean and more spacious than other ones we have stayed in up North. The boat was awesome and we were able to catch quite a few walleye as well as some pike and perch in the deeper areas of the lake.

Beautiful Relaxing Stay

This cabin is very nice and has a beautiful view of the lake. The boat was great and offered us the opportunity to take late afternoon cruises around the lake. Fishing was ok but it was August so as expected, especially with low water levels. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay again.

Back to the lake

This is the second time here. This place is awesome. My parents had a cottage on this lake a long time ago. Great to show the grandchildren everything about the lake and history. And of course the fish. Hope to have a chance to go back again.

Nice getaway

We had a nice stay. The weather was not the greatest during our 4 day stay, so we didnt get to be outside as much as we had hoped. The pontoon was great the few short times we took it out. We enjoyed the eagle river children's museum one of the rainy days. The cabin was exactly as described and Brett was great at answering any questions during our stay. Lake was very peacefull. Overall it was nice getaway!

The cottage is very nice and comfy. Had electricity, hot water, a nice kitchen, a nice deck and it came with a pontoon boat.There is good cellular reception there as well. Everything was clean the owner was always available if I had questions. We caught a bunch of panfish right off the pier and had a great time in the water. Would highly reccomend this place to anyone.

Great place to enjoy the lake

Clean wonderful 2 bedroom cabin with a screened in porch and large fire pit all with great views of the lake. Lots of wood and great outdoor chairs. The pontoon was in great shape and just right for cruising the lake and fishing the hot spots. Nice size lake to fish with little traffic and no public access. The kitchen had a quality stove/oven and full size refrigerator with freezer. It was just my brother and I and we had the best time! Conveniently located near Eagle River and Sugar Camp with good restaurants and bars. Highly recommend for a couple or small family.

R & R up north

The place is so quiet, peaceful and clean, also with a good sighting of wildlife like deer, ducks and bald eagles. All in all it's a place that's recommendable to go to if your looking for some privacy and a time to just chill and rest. It's not only me and my wife who enjoyed but I can honestly say our pups enjoyed all the more since they had lots of outdoor activities like long walks, running, play on the water and boating. Shout out to Brett for allowing us to rent his place. Thank you.

A week to remember!!!!

This was our second stay with the first occurring in October 2022. Uncooperative weather that year caused fishing issues but this year the weather was fantastic and the fishing was fantastic. Caught many fish off the boat but caught the biggest (walleye and perch) right off the pier. The fall colors got better each day during our stay. One minor issue was corrected by Brett and staff within minutes. We will be back next year. One minor suggestion...add non-slip strips in the bath tub as it is slippery and caused fall concerns for our 88-year old mother. Other than that, a great place to stay, relax and enjoy the north woods!!
