Waterfront vacation rentals in Vilas County

Mark & Wendy's cabin was exactly as pictured - cute & cozy! They were extremely responsive hosts and gave us great recommendations for things to do/places to eat in the area. I was curious if the cabin would be covered in dog hair/smell since they are allowed (which was wonderful for us, as we brought our puppy), but there were no signs of dogs other than some chewed up furniture. The lake access will be especially wonderful in the summer. We'd definitely stay there again!

Most of the apartment has been recently remodeled & tastefully decorated with eclectic tables & lamps, thoughtfully selected artwork, mostly nature themes, some watercolors painted by one of the hosts. Nice homey touches throughout making for a pleasant stay when indoors. TV has been upgraded to a small flat screen (not shown in pictures). DVD is a regular, not Blu-ray player. It worked for us. Beds were comfortable firm. We slept well. Kitchen had most everything you need for meal making. Kitchen towels, scrubbie, dish soap & hand soap were supplied. No blender but plenty of pots, pans, bowls & dishes. One hand towel in the bathroom, otherwise bring your own bath towels. Hand soap only provided Beautiful view of the lake. Loons present every day. Boat landing is a few minutes' drive around the lake. Only drawback for some may be the length of stairs leading from the duplex down to the lake. There is a railing, but the stairs may be harder for anyone with knee issues or older folks.

Rich and Kitty have a wonderful place on Anvil Lake. It’s quiet, peaceful and beautiful. A great place to get away and you’re only 15 minutes away from downtown Eagle River.

I absolutely loved my stay here. It was extremely close to the water. I brought my paddleboard up with me to use, but Mark and Wendy graciously allow the guests to use any of the kayaks, canoes, and such. Whenever I had questions, they were quick to reply, and they even texted to check in on me since I was there for an extended time. I highly recommend the Bearskin Trail if you’re there in the summertime!

We enjoyed our stay to soak up a few more sunny days of summer. Downtown was extremely walkable and the view of the lake was gorgeous. The space was comfortable for relaxing after a day of adventure and had everything we needed. The decor really provided a cabin and “Up North” feel.

Fantastic Hosts. Repeat stay we love this location. Fits every need we can ask for. We enjoy every minute of our stay and look forward to next year.

The place is beautiful, peaceful, stylish and has a lot of things to do. Katie was very responsive and thought through every detail. Thank you for having us at your place, we will be back for sure.

Exactly what we needed for 4 adults and a couple of kids for a weekend of ice fishing. Great "Up Nort" experience, nothing much to nitpick! I'd definitely consider coming back here in the future.

We stayed here for the Pond Hockey tournament and booked it last minute after someone cancelled their reservation and oh my goodness did we luck out! What an amazing home, so spacious, cozy, and quiet. I will absolutely be trying to make this our place to stay year after year when we head up to eagle river for the tourney!

This was our second (annual) stay and we are already talking about returning again next year. We had such a great stay! The location is great for us - lots of great hikes and interesting places to visit within an easy drive. The amenities of the cabin are all first rate. We especially enjoyed the full kitchen and grill and enjoyed fabulous home-cooked meals every evening. The view of the river from the cabin is so beautiful. We enjoyed seeing how it changed from moment to moment and day to day. At times there was mist rising from the water, at other times, the water sparkled brightly. Truly beautiful. We have been so looking forward to this year's week at the cabin - and it did not disappoint. I most highly recommend it to you!

Great place to for a larger group. perfect for snowmobiling trail is right at the end of driveway

We decided to spend the beginning of our retirement at our favorite place, Riverbend! We brought our labs with us and spent the week doing all of the things that we love! The location is amazing! We fall in love with the views of the river each time! The first day it snowed 5 inches but there was plenty of firewood for that gorgeous fireplace. We thought ahead and brought plenty of food but there's always extra in their cupboards. We used their lovely kitchen each day and grilled most evenings. The pups had plenty of room to roam and we hiked the property each day. They even helped us play cribbage! The Hosts are wonderful and let us know that the Northern Lights would be visible and also warned us of an impending ice storm. They are top notch Hosts and have always treated us amazingly! We also drove around the surrounding areas to visit other towns. oh, and we saw bear tracks a 30 minute walk away! We are counting down the days until we're back at Heavenly Riverbend!

Don'tmiss this one if it's available. Beautiful view and home with literally lakeside amenities. Host was responsive and welcoming. couldn't have asked for more.

My family and I had a wonderful mini vacation and went to area ski hills. This condo was absolutely wonderful to return to at the end of the day! We will 100% book here again.

Great spot to stay. We stayed here snowmobiling when it was the black bear lodge. Nikol was easy to work with to move our dates to a later time until conditions for snowmobiling allowed. Which meant so much when your at the whim of Mother Nature. Great place to stay.

Great place to stay for snowmobiling. Right on the trail. Highly recommend.

Great trip! Even better than the photos! Beautiful stay right on the lake and it had lots of extras to make the trip easy and smooth. We will be back!

Carrie was great! She communicated instructions for check in timely and clearly. For the few questions we did have, she got back to us right away. There were also instructions in the condo The place was just as described in a great location! We had a great vacation and it was so nice to call this place home for a week!
