Access to the swimming beach is on the lot adjacent to the home and is the property of the home owner. It's a quiet, shared beach with the one neighboring cottage (1 min walk to beach). Swimming area bottom is a mix of sand and stone, water shoes preferred. Great for kids as it offers a shallow, gradual depth change.

Enjoy beautiful Lost Lake views from this relaxing cottage with modern amenities in the centrally located northwoods town of Sugar Camp! Built in 2014 on the grounds that used to be Running's Campground, guests will enjoy the quiet lake. New in 2025, a 7'x8' cedar barrel sauna with an electric stove for easy relaxation for 4 adults!
Bring or rent paddleboards and kayaks--this is the perfect lake for them. While the lake allows motors, there's no traffic on this lake. If you want some hustle and bustle, the Three Lakes Chain and Sugar Camp Chain are a close drive and there's room to bring your boat and trailer in the driveway.

In the winter months, enjoy a fresh northwoods snowfall, head out to the lake to for some ice fishing or hit the trails with your snowmobile. Snowmobile trails are located less than 1/8 mile from the cabin with easy access to the trails. Come home and enjoy a relaxing sauna!

Rhinelander, Three Lakes, and Eagle River are all within 15 minutes drive.

Cozy cabin in Northern Wisconsin with a peaceful vibe and beautiful views. The property had a lot of different cool aspects to it. Of course, including the sauna that works amazing, just takes 25 minutes to heat up initially.

Nice house in a quiet picturesque lakefront location. The house is nice but has a slow shower drain and a bath fan not working, otherwise in good shape.

we got there Wednesday evening, the check in was quick and efficient (even in the pitch dark because of the time we got there). the house was very clean and well maintained. the bugs were not really issue during our stay as announced in the bio but I'm sure they could get bad! it's the good ole north woods after all! everything we needed was there, we brought extra stuff just in case but didn't need to use it. I did recommend that they have something that guests can enjoy for the actual water, like kayaks/canoe or something. we fished on the pier and caught alot of little fish. I'm sure if we were able to get on the lake we would have caught more and bigger but we had a great time!!! I would recommend this place over and over. no one bothered us, it was quiet, the views are amazing and the family time we had was well spent there! thanks for a nice quaint place. it was perfect

Great house, bad access to pier and stairs to house.
We found in difficult entering and exiting. There were no hand rails on the staircases leading to the entrances.

Awesome swimming area for young kids
Great rental for our family with kids aged 4 and 11. House was well provisioned. We were a bit confused on which beach to use. The correct one is slightly down the road, not the boat dock directly across from the house. Its a very small sand beach but AWESOME swimming area for younger kids. Nice and shallow. Saw/heard bald eagles, ravens, loons, herons, deer. Lake is lovely. Not a single motor the whole week. We enjoyed canoeing the perimeter. You can hear road noise from the nearby highway, but otherwise very peaceful.

Perfect for Snowmobile Trip
Great property and perfect location for anyone visiting Eagle River, Minocqua, and Rhinelander as it’s just a short drive to all 3. Super close to the snowmobiling trail systems making it ideal! Super clean and very nice.

We had a very nice time at Scott and Wendy’s. The cabin is located on a very private road across from a beautiful shallow lake that is great for little kids, with a sandy bottom and beach. There are nice lake views from the house, but note that the lake itself is a short walk across the private road. It is still super easy to access and because the area is so quiet, it was not a problem at all.
The house was very comfortable and while there was no air conditioning, the windows allowed for a nice cross breeze and fans were provided along with ceiling fans in the bedrooms. We cooked a lot in the kitchen and had great cocktails on their porch overlooking the lake. Would definitely stay there again!

Great getaway
We had a blast! Exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, peaceful place to unplug and hang with the kids. We had older children (24, 20, & 13) and they really enjoyed it. The lake was awesome and we spent a whole day floating on our inflatable island. We also enjoyed down town Rhinelander and visiting the Rhinelander brewery.. got lots of pictures with all the hodag’s too! The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Great vacation!

Great Cabin! Interior is very spacious and clean and the decor offers a nice personal touch. The location was ideal the cabin is within close proximity to town but still offers the privacy of a quiet low trafficked road alongside the lake. The hosts went above and beyond to be accommodating the entirety of our trip. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is the place. We enjoyed our 3 night stay here so much our son cried when it was time to go home. A clean and comfy home to relax in when you’re not down by the water. The lake is a walk away and has a small little beach, dock for fishing and is great for swimming. Never saw a single person out on the water when we were there. We rented kayaks and had a blast out on the water. Our evenings were spent by the fire. We enjoyed our stay very much. Scott was quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay. Highly recommend this location!

This was a great place to get away from the city for awhile. The Lake was beautiful and the entire 4 days we were the only ones out on the lake. Nice little beach to play in the water and the dock provided all the fishing you could need. My only complaint was I didn't get to fish because the kids were catching them non stop :) The house was great for our family of 4 and had everything we needed. There was an earlier comment about the house not being on the lake and that is just not true. Do you need to drive in your car to the lake? Nope. Does it take 10 seconds to walk there from the house? Yup. Scott was very responsive when I had questions before booking and also while we were at the house. Thank you Scott! Rhinelander and Eagle River are both close by and provide entertainment, food and activities. I would also recommend visiting Sugar Camp Beach if you get a chance.

Lost Lake is clean, warm, and Wendy accomadated by providing 2 paddleboards and a kayak. The house is also very clean, beds are comfy, and the communal space is large enough for a smaller group.

Lost Lake is a gem. We planned to fish all over the Rhinlander, Three-Lakes, Woodruff area and we did. But the best success any of us had was in the evenings in front of the house in Lost Lake. House is clean and modern and works out very well. One suggestion: If you want to get on Lost Lake, bring your own Kayak or Canoe. And bring your fishing stuff because Lost Lake will reward you!

This is a tidy cottage in a modern style - carpeted, nice furniture, two good bedrooms, a great kitchen. The host keeps it clean and tidy, with soft towels and sheets, good pillows, a lot of cookware, etc. Very nicely done. We stayed during a cold and wet weather period, and the cottage proved cozy and comfortable, very good after being outdoors hiking for hours.

I came with my family and we had a really wonderful time. We were the only people on the lake, spent the whole time on the water. The house is spacious, clean, and cozy. Location is really nice in a quiet area about 10 minutes to eagle river but there are restaurants near by. There are lots of amenities to take advantage of (water equipment, fire pit, dock and chairs) that make it a really fun and relaxing place to stay. Wendy was very communicative and helpful throughout the process!
