About this property

*New to VRBO!* (For reviews, refer to other hosting platforms. We have been hosting for 3 years and loving it!)

Little black cabin on the water in the woods. Located a mile from the larger rec lakes in Shawano, WI, Camp Miller sits on a small, private no-motor lake. This quiet retreat is fully furnished and offers 2 bedrooms, 2 pullout sofas, 1 bathroom, deck, and small dock. Take a peaceful ride in the canoe, bring your rods to catch bluegill, & enjoy some outdoor cooking on the gas grill or fire pit. A nature-lover's dream!

We offer WiFi and a ROKU TV... or simply enjoy our collection of DVD's :)

This is a quiet, nature-lover's retreat. 800 sq foot 2 bedroom, 1 bath cabin with open kitchen & living area. Enjoy the renovated space, designed for smaller groups to be together while enjoying the views of the lake. Sit & enjoy water views from inside, on the deck, by the fire pit, or on the dock itself. You'll see eagles, sandhill cranes, ducks, and other wildlife. You're welcome to our canoe, for peaceful floating. Bring your bikes or walking shoes for a nice 2 mile loop around the lake.

Reminder that we have a naturalized shoreline, not a beach area. This is not a swimming lake- although we are 2 miles from the larger rec lakes and public beach.

Please note our cleaning fee of $75 per stay. We work with a wonderful local cleaning company and as hosts, we help split the cost with you.

Cozy cottage

Perfect place to relax in a quiet area. The small lake and wooded properties around was comforting. I'd love to stay here again in the future.

Great Little Cabin in the North Woods

The cabin was so cute, and just as advertised! In the cold of December, it was great to have a wood burning fire place. Lots of movie's were watched on their smart TV, kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfy. Our family of 3 stayed very comfortably! Thank you!

Wonderful Distraction. We'll be back

Our daughter passed two years ago on St. Nick's. It was her favorite holiday. We started renting cabins at this time to just sit, reflect and decompress. We absolutely love it here. They truly supply everything and the neighbors are so nice. The walk around the lake with our pup was the best.

Cute little cabin getaway

Cute cabin perfect for a family of 4. If you like wildlife and nature this is a great place to stay. We saw a family of ducks, family of geese, woodpeckers, butterflies, and turtles in our short stay. The restaurants we picked in Shawano were excellent and Old Glory Candy Store was a good stop. We would recommend to anyone wanting a little quieter getaway.

Artic blast

Very cold and it took a long time for the cabin to warm. The water lines were partially frozen but the water began to return to normal after a few minutes. The fire place was full of ashes and not very usable without us cleaning it out. I did not want to clean it.

Beautiful quaint cabin with breath taking views. Hosts have so many little details they have thought of from sugar for your coffee to games to toothbrushes. Loved my time there.

Spring Break Get Away

The minute we pulled up we knew it is just what we needed. Prior to our stay, communication with Becca was a piece of cake. Check in was so easy. Inside was a very clean, cozy and extremely welcoming. You can tell they put alot of love in Camp Miller. We can not wait to get back!

A Magical New Year's Stay at Cozy Cabin

Our family's New Year's stay at Cozy Cabin in Wisconsin was nothing short of magical. The cabin blended rustic charm with modern amenities, making it a cozy and comfortable retreat. Surrounded by a winter wonderland, we enjoyed outdoor adventures and evenings by the fireplace. The highlight was watching New Year's fireworks over the lake. A truly memorable and heartwarming experience!

Everything was exactly what we needed. Perfectly quite cabin tucked away on a remote lake.

We were in Shawano for our yearly family reunion, and we needed a place where we could come and relax after golfing, fishing, eating and celebrating with some adult beverages with the family. This was very clean and situated back off the main area of Shawano where it does get pretty busy. So, this was an idea location, bonus us that the owners were truly great. They were extremely easy to communicate with and were very available if needed and welcoming to their guests which just made things even more enjoyable. We have traveled extensively, and we would highly recommend Camp Miller. Plus, we could bring one of our dogs which was even a bigger bonus. Sincerely Jeff and Monica Schultz

Great cabin, neighbors were a little unfriendly

This is a lovely and comfortable cabin with everything you need. The chef's knives were even sharp, which is really unusual. The property is as described; the no-motor lake is covered in lilypads and full of frogs; a pair of sand cranes stayed camped out on the lawn for a lot of our stay. The hosts have done a fantastic job and the cabin is in a really cool location. However, the neighborhood is not LGBTQIA friendly. My partner, who is of nonbinary gender but not super obvious about it, stuck out like a sore thumb. They got a lot of really strange looks (and one warning-off with an AR-15) from the neighbors when they walked the dog. I don't advise queer folk visit, despite the lovely rental. That's certainly not the fault of the hosts, though, and if you pass as cis-het, this cabin is really worth visiting. Also, our dog loved, loved, loved it. She loved the dog toys laying around when we got there; she loved the lake; she loved the local hiking. The Menemonee cultural museum and Gibson Island, both within a half hour's drive, are really worth your time as well.

About the host

Hosted by Becca McLagan

Hello! We are the McLagans. This is our forever family cabin, and we love sharing it with wonderful groups like you. Fun fact: we purchased the cabin on the same day our son was born. That was a wild day!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. Many of the neighbors live here full-time, and you can tell the love that everyone has for this unique area.

What makes this property unique

We renovated the entire cabin with a newborn baby in tow. We gave ourselves a year to do it. The memories made during this experience are priceless.
