Step into your private Northwoods retreat on the shores of Eagle Lake. Stay A While is a spacious three‑bedroom, three‑bathroom lake house designed to bring family and friends together. With soaring cathedral ceilings and floor‑to‑ceiling windows, the open‑concept great room invites the outdoors in. A gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops and hickory cabinetry flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, ensuring that every cook is part of the conversation.
The layout comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests. On the main level you’ll find a king bedroom and full bath for easy access. A lofted sitting area overlooks the great room and includes two full futons, leading to a private master suite with another king bed. Downstairs, the walkout lower level is a favorite hangout with a big‑screen TV and foosball table. The third bedroom is a cozy bunk room with two bunks, each with a queen lower bunk and twin top to delight kids and adults alike.
Outside is where the magic really happens. Over 180 feet of level, sandy frontage on Eagle Lake means endless swimming and sandcastle building. Relax on the concrete patio or gather around a custom fire pit as the sun sets over the water. A private pier provides easy boat docking and a great spot for morning coffee. Kayaks are included for paddling adventures, and a pontoon boat can be added to your stay for effortless cruising on the chain. Whether you visit in summer or during the snow‑covered months, Stay A While offers year‑round comfort and adventure in the heart of the Eagle River Chain.
Unique Features
Every detail of Stay A While blends rustic Northwoods charm with modern comfort. Inside, the great room’s soaring ceilings and wall of windows frame lake views from sunrise to sunset. High‑end finishes like quartz countertops, hickory cabinets and quality furnishings elevate the space, while the loft provides a quiet perch for reading or board games. The walkout lower level offers a rec room with foosball and an entertainment center, making rainy days just as fun as sunny ones.
Outside, you’ll find more than 180 feet of sandy shoreline, rare on the Eagle River Chain. A custom fire pit with Adirondack chairs sits on a level lakeside patio, perfect for storytelling under the stars. Guests enjoy complimentary kayaks and a private pier for swimming and fishing. For an extra treat, upgrade your stay with a new pontoon boat outfitted for both fishing and cruising – it’s the ultimate way to explore the connected lakes right from your backyard.
Things To Do
Start your days with coffee on the pier as loons glide by, then spend hours swimming, sunbathing or casting a line from the dock. Take the provided kayaks for a peaceful paddle around Eagle Lake, or fire up the grill and host a lakeside lunch. When the weather calls you indoors, the lower level rec room is set up for movie nights, video games and foosball tournaments, while the loft offers a quiet nook for reading or cards.
To truly appreciate the chain, add the optional pontoon boat to your reservation. With space for the whole crew and features like a live well, fish finder and Bimini top, it’s perfect for both anglers and sightseers. Cruise to neighboring lakes for swimming spots and picnic areas, or simply enjoy sunset cocktails while you drift.
Beyond the shoreline, this corner of Vilas County is packed with activities. Tee off at Lake Forest Golf Club just up the road, or lace up your hiking boots for miles of trails in the Chequamegon‑Nicolet National Forest. In winter, you can hop on over 500 miles of groomed snowmobile trails or try cross‑country skiing and snowshoeing right from Oak Lane.
The town of Eagle River offers charming shops, supper clubs and seasonal festivals like Cranberry Fest to round out your getaway. St. Germain and Three Lakes are a short drive for additional dining and shopping. No matter the season, there’s always a new adventure waiting when you stay a while.

Our family enjoyed a relaxing week at Stay A While. The home was clean, spacious, and beautifully appointed, and we loved spending evenings around the fire pit and days kayaking on the lake. Highly recommend this vacation home! - The Johnson Family
This was the perfect cabin for our group getaway. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the kids loved the rec room and bunk room. We appreciated the easy check-in process and local tips from the management team. We'll be back! - Mark and Anna R.
Stay A While exceeded our expectations. The lakefront setting and sandy shoreline were beautiful, and the pontoon rental made our trip extra special. Thank you for providing such a comfortable retreat. - Sarah K.
