Set at the bend of the upper Wisconsin River where loons call and tall pines lean over glassy water, Serenity on Firefly Lane is the kind of place that slows your pulse the moment you step out of the car. The original 1900s hand-hewn logs still anchor the cabin, but inside you’ll find gentle touches—fresh linen-white walls, a stone fireplace that starts with the push of a switch, and wide windows that frame the river like living art. Mornings begin with sunlight dappling the living room floorboards while the scent of coffee drifts from the open kitchen; evenings wrap up on the screen porch, fireflies blinking above the current while you trade stories over a deck of cards.
Upstairs, the snug queen loft feels like a treehouse nest—just ducks and kayakers drifting by for neighbors—while a twin-bed nook across the hall is perfect for kids or the friend who packs three novels for every trip. (Heads-up to the long-legged guests: the low vintage rafters may have you practicing a gentle limbo.) Downstairs, a full bath stocked with plush towels and local handcrafted soaps makes cleanup easy after a day on the water.
Outside, 100 feet of private frontage gives you front-row seats to river life. Cast for smallmouth bass right off the bank, paddle a lazy mile downstream, or simply sink into an Adirondack chair and let the water do the moving for you. However you spend the day, dusk arrives with a crackling fire in the riverside pit, s’mores at arm’s reach, and a sky so dark you can actually see the Milky Way.
Unique Features
Century-old craftsmanship with modern ease – Original log walls and exposed beams whisper Northwoods history, but smart upgrades—high-speed Wi-Fi, silent-split AC, and a Bluetooth-ready soundbar—mean you’re never roughing it.
Screen porch built for lingering – Wrapped on three sides with floor-to-ceiling screens, the porch functions as a second living room from snowmelt to first frost. Keep an eye out for otters and the occasional bobcat padding down for a drink while you sip an old-fashioned.
Launch-and-go river access – Being just 200 feet from Hawk’s Nest Outfitters means you can rent kayaks, tubes, or a guide without loading a car. Drift the gentle five-mile stretch back to your own shoreline, then stroll up the lawn to your deck—barefoot, towel over shoulder, adventure done.
Things To Do
On the property – Greet sunrise with yoga on the dock, swap paddles for paintbrushes and sketch the dragonflies, or reel in a walleye for supper—there’s a fish-cleaning station behind the shed. At night, light the riverside fire ring and listen for barred owls while the kids roast marshmallows.
Water adventures – Book Hawk’s Nest’s half-day raft trip for mellow Class I fun, or bring your own canoe to trace the route early French fur traders once paddled. Serious anglers can hire a musky guide right from the landing—Eagle River is the “World Capital of Musky” after all.
Trail time – Hop on the Three Eagles Trail in town for a flat, family-friendly bike ride through cedars and along wetlands, or tackle the rolling ridges of Anvil Lake Trail in the Nicolet National Forest if you crave elevation. Winter guests: the World Championship Snowmobile Derby Track is 10 minutes away and rentals are easy.
Local flavor – Downtown Eagle River’s vintage storefronts hide gems like Tribute Brewing’s small-batch ales and The Craftsman’s handmade candy counter. Swing by Buckshot’s for a Friday fish fry, then browse Northwoods Igloo for up-cycled cabin décor. Visiting in October? Cranberry Fest turns the fairgrounds ruby-red with bog tours, bakery tents, and live music.
