Uncle Bill’s Lakehouse sits right on the shore of Little Saint Germain Lake in Wisconsin’s Northwoods. This two‑bedroom log home features a vertical‑log exterior and knotty‑pine interior that feel both rustic and refined. Open year round, the cabin is designed for up to six guests to enjoy panoramic lake views, fresh air and the relaxed pace of life on the water. Large windows frame the lake and forest outside, and a welcoming open floor plan brings everyone together.
Inside you’ll find modern comforts blended with cabin charm. The fully furnished kitchen has everything you need for family meals, including a dishwasher and microwave. Central air conditioning, high‑speed internet and a smart TV keep you comfortable and entertained. Two private bedrooms each have queen beds, and the living area has a queen sleeper sofa with a memory‑foam mattress. A spacious bathroom includes a low‑step, lighted shower and vanity. There’s even a washer and dryer on site so you can pack light and stay longer.
Outdoor spaces are where Uncle Bill’s Lakehouse really shines. Step out to the large L‑shaped deck and cook on the gas grill while deer wander through the yard and eagles soar overhead. A 30‑foot dock with a 28‑foot floating patio extends into the lake, and guests have use of a 14‑foot aluminum rowboat, kayaks and a canoe with life jackets provided. Spend the day swimming or fishing, and gather around the lakeside fire ring under starry skies. When the snow falls, enjoy ice fishing or hop on your snowmobile right from the property to explore miles of groomed trails.
Unique Features
This lakehouse combines classic Northwoods character with thoughtful updates. The vertical‑log exterior and knotty‑pine walls recall a bygone era, but amenities like central air conditioning, high‑speed internet and a large smart TV provide the comforts you expect on vacation. Generous windows flood the open living space with natural light, and family games and puzzles create a cozy gathering place.
You’ll have access to equipment that makes lake life effortless. A private 30‑foot dock and floating patio invite you to sunbathe, cast a fishing line or watch the sunrise. The owners provide a rowboat, kayaks and a canoe along with life jackets. After a day on the water, unwind on the deck or around the fire ring with a supply of firewood ready for your s’mores.
Things To Do
Little Saint Germain Lake is one of the Northwoods’ premier lakes, offering more than 950 acres and 32 miles of shoreline to explore. Bring your fishing gear and try for bass, northern pike or walleye, or paddle through pine‑sheltered bays for a quiet wildlife tour. Swim right off the dock in the clear water, then relax on the floating patio with a cold drink.
When snow blankets the landscape, the lakehouse becomes a hub for winter adventure. Drill a hole in the ice to fish for dinner, or hit the snowmobile trail that runs directly across the lake. St. Germain also offers cross‑country skiing and winter biking trails, so you can enjoy the fresh air in every season.
St. Germain is known for its small‑town hospitality and variety of activities. Pick up fresh cranberries at Lake Nokomis Cranberries, take a stand‑up paddleboard yoga class with YogaPaddler, or arrange a guided fishing trip through Last Cast Outfitters. Browse handmade goods at the St. Germain Flea Market and treat yourself to ice cream at Cathy’s Ice Cream ’n Candy Shoppe. There are also local shops, restaurants and a marina if you need to rent additional watercraft or snowmobiles.
Day trips are easy from this central location. Eagle River and Minocqua are a short drive away and offer additional dining, shopping and entertainment. Whether you spend your days on the water or exploring the area, Uncle Bill’s Lakehouse is your home base for Northwoods fun.

Nightly lodging rates: $200–$235, based on sample dates quoted September 17, 2026. These amounts exclude cleaning, booking fees, taxes and optional extras. Multi-night quotes are shown as nightly equivalents; minimum stays apply. The range is based on sampled quotes, and advance-year rates for 2027 are provisional and may change.
As the seasons change on Little Saint Germain Lake, our rates reflect demand. Peak summer and fall foliage weeks fill quickly and may require longer stays; shoulder‑season rates are typically lower. To confirm exact pricing for your preferred dates, please contact StepAway Vacation Rentals directly—we are always happy to quote seasonal specials and help match your stay to your budget.
We book directly through StepAway Vacation Rentals, eliminating third‑party fees. A deposit is due at the time of booking to reserve your dates, and the balance is due prior to arrival. We accept major credit cards and personal checks. Rates are subject to Wisconsin sales tax and Vilas County room tax. Please review our rental agreement for our cancellation policy. Contact us today to secure your week at Uncle Bill’s Lakehouse and experience relaxed lakeside living.

Reviews
We loved our stay at Uncle Bill’s Lakehouse. The cabin was spotless and cozy, and we spent every morning with coffee on the deck watching loons on Little Saint Germain Lake. The kids enjoyed the kayaks and rowboat, and evenings around the fire pit were magical. —The Johnson family
What a relaxing week! The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were super comfortable, and we appreciated the board games and puzzles for rainy days. Booking directly with StepAway Vacation Rentals was easy and saved us fees. We can’t wait to come back. —Sarah P.
Winter at Uncle Bill’s Lakehouse is just as fun as summer. We ice fished right off the dock and hopped on the snowmobile trail from the driveway. The heated cabin and memory foam sofa sleeper made it a warm retreat after a day on the lake. —Dave and Kim
