Cedar Lodge: Lakefront Cabin - Wi-Fi, Free Firewood, Generator, No Cleaning Fee!

Cedar Lodge has recently been remodeled to include a second bathroom, central A/C, enlarged living room to include a gas fireplace and a large window overlooking the lake, a new kitchen with rustic hickory cabinets and new appliances, as well as new siding, windows and a lakeside deck. We tried to keep some of the original feel of the cabin to keep the quaintness that our guests have come to love and appreciate about Cedar Lodge over the years. Our repeat guests who came back to our newly remodeled cabin appreciated the many updates we've done since their last visit. We are confident our new guests who are coming for the first time will be just as happy to experience what Cedar Lodge has to offer. We would love to share our newly remodeled cabin with you as well.

Escape to the Wisconsin Northwoods and book your family vacation in our newly remodeled cabin located on the sandy south shore of Lost Lake with panoramic views of what is considered a “Hidden Gem”. Cedar Lodge sleeps 8 people and has the up-north cabin feel many people long to find!

There is much to appreciate at Cedar Lodge. Enjoy your morning coffee on the lakeside deck as the sun comes up to start your day. Deer roaming the property and eagles soaring overhead are a common sight. Spend family time by the sandy beach area and share stories while sitting around the campfire – free firewood is provided. Take the 2 kayaks that were added in 2022 for some fun on the lake. Fish from the private dock or take the rowboat out to catch your trophy fish. The new central air will keep you cool on those hot, humid, summer days. For cooler nights and our winter guests, the new gas fireplace will be a welcome spot to curl up in front of to enjoy the warmth it provides. Gather in the enlarged living room and enjoy the spectacular view of the lake from indoors.

The shoreline is described by many as the best fishing spot on this 544-acre lake. Pan fish are easily caught right off the dock. Muskie and bass are also frequently caught right out in front of the unit. The lake is fully recreational and has plenty of crappies, perch, walleyes, and northern pike. There is a newly-remodeled, heated fish cleaning house for you to use after a successful day of fishing!

Connect to the famous Bo-Boen Snowmobile Trail and the St. Germain ATV Club Trail at the end of our private road. We also provide direct access to the lake in the winter for snowmobiliers. There is plenty of parking space to accommodate your trailers, too.

The St. Germain area is located halfway between Eagle River and Minocqua and is known for its many summer and winter activities. An immaculate 18-hole golf course is located nearby along with another 9-hole course and a par-3 course. There are many Northwoods supper clubs, bars, and restaurants nearby for a “night out” if cooking over the campfire isn’t your style.

Make Cedar Lodge the perfect start to a new family tradition, creating memories together that will last a lifetime! If you have other family members or friends looking to vacation together, we also own the Nature’s Edge lake home next door that sleeps 12 people. Book both Cedar Lodge and Nature's Edge to enjoy a large lakefront getaway with your entire family. Enjoy every season in the Northwoods with year-round rentals available at both of our places. Our current renters are given the first opportunity to rebook for the following year so if you're interested in starting a yearly tradition, Cedar Lodge and Nature's Edge are great places to choose for your family vacation. Some of our guests have been coming for more than 40 years!!

Wonderful House and Great Location in St Germain
We booked Cedar Lodge for our annual fall getaway and we were not disappointed. The house has a great set up with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, spaced appropriately inside to allow room for our group. The location on lost lake was great, nice views and easy location down to the water and pier. Karen and Greg communicated with us before with any questions and were quick to respond to our questions. Would definitely stay here again. 5-stars

We had a wonderful time Cedar Lodge. The location is close to town which makes it easy to run to the grocery store. The property is updated and comfortable. The only suggestion I would make is to add an extra cleat to the pier.

Perfect Family Cabin
This property was perfect! The cleanliness of the cabin was top notch. Everything was in its place and spotless when we arrived. The cabin is decorated cute too! All necessary bedding, toiletries, and kitchen utensils, etc. were included at the cabin. There is plenty of seating outdoors, including a patio set, picnic table and swing. We loved the swing! The pier is nice for fishing. There is also a little bit of a beach for the kids to play in the sand. The only negative was that the property has very close neighbors on both sides, so there wasn’t much privacy. We met the owners on the day we left, and they were very talkative and kind! Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!

Winter Getaway
We all had a fun stay at this home. It was recently remodeled. The beds were all very comfortable, and the rustic decor was cozy. The kitchen had all the appliances and utensils we could ask for, as we are all avid cooks. This home was very clean, and dealing with the owners was easy. The only negative, was that we all felt that is was over priced, compared to other VRBO homes that we have rented. We did have a fun weekend here, though.

We had a very enjoyable experience at this property. All of the amenities needed are provided. Very clean. We spent our time on the pier fishing for pan fish and watching the nearby nesting eagles. There are several paved trails nearby for walking or biking. In the evening we roasted s’mores in the firepit and then caught up on a few shows using YouTube TV. Very relaxing week!

Snowmobile Trip
The cabin exceeded expectations. The owners put a lot in to the remodeling of this cabin and it showed. The location was great. We had direct access to the lake which the snowmobile trail crossed right out in front of the cabin. Communication with owners was great with very quick responses to any questions I had. Good parking room. Able to park 2 pickups and trailers in the driveway. (One trailer being 23 feet long). Thanks Karen, we had a very nice stay at Cedar Lodge.
