Star Lake Retreat front

Description of the Eagle River vacation home rental

Overlooking the 1200 acre Star Lake and the Highland
State Forest sits one of Wisconsin's most original log
homes, the Star Lake Retreat. Located in northern
Wisconsin's Vilas County just south of Michigan's Upper
Peninsula, it's 12 miles northwest of Eagle River,.

The property is almost entirely surrounded by wooded land
with an abundance of natural beauty.
There are numerous trails for hiking in the spring,
summer and fall and for cross-country skiing in the
winter.

A great North Woods experience, the pet
friendly Star Lake Retreat was constructed in 1995 of
250 year old hemlock pines felled by a tornado. Situated
on a ridge, this log home has a fieldstone base and stone
terraced lawns. It's truly a work of art. The three bedroom,
year round vacation rental property has three levels with
large windows facing the lake and woods, a balcony off
the master bedroom.

Beneath the balcony is a large picnic area overlooking Star Lake, with an octagonal
cedar picnic table, charcoal grill and large fire pit for campfires.

Reviews for this vacation home rental in Eagle River, Wisconsin

 Great for two families, kids, x-c skiing, February 20, 2008

By Kathy Okkema (Harvard IL)

We had a very nice time...plenty of dishes, space and sitting area for 10 of us and our dog! Master bedroom was spacious. The other two rooms had plenty of floor space though the ceiling slope limited head room. Log construction is amazing. Easy access to a number of x-c ski locations good for families with wide range of skills. Very comfortable and relaxing...beautiful snow scenes from windows.

 

 perfect for everyone, January 23, 2008

By Jaime Hanson (Oconomowoc, WI)

The Star Lake Retreat was perfect for our trip. We had a group of 9 up there for snowmobiling. We had the perfect amount of space and everything was ready for us upon arrival. The entire house is wood inside and out, except for the beautiful stone fireplace. The area up there is very quite and laid back. Perfect for whatever your looking for. We especially loved the sunrise views from the huge windows. We will be back again. You can't beat the price and the owners are very helpful and appreciative.
