About this property

Northwoods Hideaway On Crystal Clear Private Carlin Lake

Our cabin is located on the shores of one of the most desired lakes in the Northwoods ! Carlin Lake is a PRIVATE 153 acre crystal clear gem with NO public access. The cabin is situated on 10 acres with 440 ft of frontage. On the outside there is a private sandy beach, pier for your boat and a fire pit with a swing and 2 rocking adirondack chairs. Whether you want to swim, fish, enjoy water sports or just relax with your favorite book. There is also a picnic table and a charcoal Weber grill, canoe and rowboat for your enjoyment. There are many excellent restaurants nearby to satisfy your taste buds. Close to bicycle, hiking, snowshoe and cross country ski and snowmobile trails also. On the inside the master bedroom has a queen size bed. The second bedroom offers a queen size and full size bed and plenty of storage. A/C is available but rarely used as the summer nights are typically cool. For the winter nights there is a newly installed 2021 HVAC system. The bathroom is recently remodeled and offers tub and shower. The kitchen includes refrigerator, electric stove / oven, microwave (located on porch ) and coffee maker along with all cookware and utensils. Recent remodeling included converting the carport into a beautiful THREE season room complete with a farm table with seating for six and a large sofa sectional. We also have WiFi. We are on a newer 2016 well but still ask that we use water conservatively. Recently remodeled 2024 walls and ceilings to knotty tongue and groove pine for that true Northwoods look and feel. NOTE: Three season room is NOT heated.

Relaxing retreat in a gorgeous cabin

The cabin was absolutely perfect. Well-furnished with everything we needed, and plenty of spaces for us to relax, work, and just enjoy the beauty of Carlin lake. The neighbors sharing the property were extremely nice and helpful, and we're hoping to visit the property again next year.

Great place for a relaxing stay.

My friends and I had a great time at Rich’s cabin. The lake was gorgeous and the cabin was well-equipped and comfy as expected. Rich was responsive and checked in to see if we needed anything. I only wish we’d had longer to stay.

Beautiful location

Tucked back in the woods with a lake front view. Very cozy and clean. Owner was super easy to communicate with and will more than likely rent again. Wi-Fi and streaming TV were a nice bonus.

Great location

Beautiful, clean and comfortable cabin in a great location! We saw deer right outside the window, and an eagle flew over the pier while we were sitting there. Highly recommend and hope to stay again in the summer.

Comfortable and quiet

No complaints - I go to fish Carlin Lake for LM bass. Therefore, it was a good week. The improvement to the cabin are very nice and create a comfortable place to relax and enjoy my time when I am not on the water.

Spring

We take the week before Memorial Day every year to avoid the crowds, and stay in different Northern Wisconsin areas. The weather did not cooperate this year, but we enjoyed our best spring vacation in many years! We loved the lake, it was basically all ours. And the whole area is beautiful.

Beautiful lake cabin

This cabin is on a beautiful lake in a quiet part of the North Woods. It would be a good lake for any type of boating, but of course in December it was frozen like concrete. We were up north for XC skiing, and found several places nearby with very good trails. This area gets a fair amount of snow, including some lake effect from Superior. We had a great time. The cabin is well outfitted and has plenty of heat. The owner was very friendly and easy to work with. There is a three-season porch that would be great in the summer.

Wonderful visit

Very cozy cabin with a great location on a beautiful lake. Water was very clear and the lake was peaceful all day. Our toddler had a lot of fun playing on the sandy beach and we loved sitting around the fire pit and listening to the loons in the evening. The bike trails were great and it was easy to pick them up with a quick drive a few miles down the road where there are several places to park on hwy K. Rich was a great host and made sure everything was going well, we would love to stay again!

Truly up north feel with all the comforts of home.

Rich's cabin is just as described and shown on VRBO. It was clean and ready to use. Beds were very comfortable and decor attractive. Rich is a wonderful owner who answered when we called. The kids were watching a movie on Netflix before bed and the Internet went down. I called Rich who got in touch with the Internet provider and relayed to me that the provider was aware there was a problem and were in process of fixing it. He even got in contact with us the next day to check on it. I recommend Rich and his cabini and VRBO.
