Welcome to Shady Rest cabin at Pine Cone Ranch Resort on Crystal Lake in Tomahawk. This charming Northwoods getaway sits just steps from the water and features warm knotty pine interiors and large windows that frame the tall pines. An open-concept kitchen, dining and living area invites gatherings around the center island, with a comfortable sitting area and modern appliances that make cooking and conversation a joy.
Shady Rest offers three bedrooms plus a furnished porch, comfortably sleeping your group with a king bed, two queen beds, a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, and a single bed on the porch. A modern bathroom plus an additional half bath add convenience. Step out onto the porch or relax on your own private dock to enjoy lake breezes, sunrise coffee, or an evening under the stars. Bed linens are provided, and towels are available during spring and fall.
Just like all cabins at Pine Cone Ranch Resort, Shady Rest includes free Wi‑Fi, cable TV, a fully equipped kitchen, charcoal grill and picnic table, and a complimentary rowboat, pedal boats and canoe for use at your private dock. Boat motors, pontoon boat, paddle boards or kayaks available for rent. When you’re ready to play on the water, the sand beach and swim raft are a short stroll away. Whether your days are filled with fishing, water fun or simply watching our resident loon family glide across the lake, you’ll feel right at home. Book direct through RentWisconsinCabins.com to reserve your stay and save!
What sets Shady Rest apart is its blend of classic cabin character and thoughtful updates. The knotty pine walls and beamed ceilings evoke a bygone era of Northwoods escapes, while the bright, modern kitchen—with a center island and full-size appliances—makes meal prep easy for groups. The open layout means you’re never far from the lake views, whether you’re whipping up breakfast or lounging by the fireplace.
Outside, your own dock and complimentary rowboat put Crystal Lake at your doorstep. Spend lazy afternoons fishing for northern pike, panfish and abundant large and small mouthed bass. Clean your catch in our fish cleaning house with running water and electric. A roomy porch with a single pull out bed doubles as a quiet reading nook or extra sleeping space, and the front deck is perfect for catching the amazing sunrises and sunsets across the lake. Because Shady Rest is tucked just off the shoreline, you’ll enjoy a private, wooded setting with easy access to resort amenities like the shared fire pit with firewood provided, sand beach, playground and shuffle board court.
Shady Rest guests have unlimited access to the resort’s complimentary rowboat, sand beach, swimming raft and docks, so plan on spending plenty of time in or on Crystal Lake. Bring your fishing gear to cast for northern pike, bass and panfish, or paddle out in a canoe or paddle boat or rent a kayak, paddle board or pontoon boat for a peaceful sunrise cruise. In the evenings, gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows and watch the stars come out over the Northwoods.
When you’re ready to explore beyond the lake, Tomahawk offers miles of hiking and biking trails through the pines. Hop on the Hiawatha and Bearskin State Trails for a scenic ride, or head over to Council Grounds State Park for picnicking and wildlife watching. Golfers can tee off at nearby Inshalla Country Club or Edgewater Country Club, while history buffs will enjoy the Tomahawk Historical Museum. We have many unique shopping and dining options nearby. Catch a baseball game at the Tyler Kahle Memorial Field or hits some balls in the batting cage. Take the littles to play at the Washington Park water park and playground.
Day trips from Shady Rest might include shopping and dining in Minocqua or Rhinelander, visiting wildlife parks, touring breweries, or hunting for antiques in quaint Northwoods towns. In winter, ride your snowmobile right from the cabin onto groomed trails, or ice fish on Crystal Lake. No matter what time of year you visit, Shady Rest offers a comfortable base camp for Northwoods adventures — and when you book direct through RentWisconsinCabins.com, you’ll get the best rates.
