The cottage is located on beautiful Lac Vieux Desert Lake in the heart of Wisconsin's Northwoods lake country and the Nicolet National Forest. We are just a few miles north of Eagle River, WI. We are open all year round and offer you a knotty-pine interior cottage that will suit all your lodging and accommodation needs, all surrounded by beautiful and fragrant old pine trees and majestic oaks. There is an abundance of wildlife here, on the lake and in the area. Make sure you bring a pair of binoculars with you - there are a lot of eagle nests all around the lake and you can see and hear eagles and loons every day. You will also see ducks, swans, and otters here. Deer very often visit the area.
We are located on the south shore of Lac Vieux Desert, the headwaters of the Wisconsin River.
Our beautiful lake is famous of its record musky (a World Record Musky was caught here), walleye, northern pike, perch, small mouth and large mouth bass and panfish fishing, and is one of the largest in the state with 4300 acres and 19 miles of fantastic shoreline and 4 islands.

Everything about the cabin was awesome! The owners were fantastic, cabin was well equipped, beds were comfortable and overall cleanliness was amazing. Fishing was great, my grandson enjoyed catching keeper sized panfish right off the dock. My wife and I are already planning our return visit for next year. I cannot say enough good things about the Oak Ridge Resort. Thank you for having us!! Rick Van Rite
The place was very good, but the fishing was VERY BAD.
My family of husband/wife and two children stayed a week here in late July. We had an amazing vacation. This cabin is off to the side and secluded from the other 2 on the lake front. Fishing and swimming from the pier was great, tho not at the same time! Little details that made the stay even more enjoyable then the peaceful solitude was finding an 8 cast iron skillet in the cabinet and then finding ice trays in the shapes of fish and hearts. We saw the Milky Way at night and took several day trips to nearby waterfalls and lakes with swimming beaches. There was no lack of activities. Our German Shepherd also enjoyed his stay! I'd recommend bringing a tie out if you have a larger dog. It worked fabulous. The hosts were gracious, polite and informative. They gave us a great recommendation for a rainy day activity. I would highly recommend this location.
This was the perfect property for a weekend getaway with my significant other. As soon as we arrived at the front office, Katherine and her husband greeted us as they had known us for so many years, which made us feel so welcome. They were also kind enough to give us some local recommendations for dinner and things to do. The cabin itself was very tidy and showed that they really care about their guests. The boat motor that was provided was also in great shape and was easy to use. Overall, I would recommend this rental to anyone who is looking for a picture-perfect Northwoods getaway.
The cottage and the grounds around it were wonderful. I am committed to a wheelchair and could get around the cabin no problem. Get in the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen where the wife made me do dishes. The hoste were fantastic and we enjoyed chatting with the. Overall a wonderful stay.
The owners were incredibly nice and accommodating. During out time there, we enjoyed fishing, the scenery, and the peacefulness of the property. We WILL be back!
Clean & comfortable collage, great view & friendly hosts. Very much enjoyed - thanks!
I can’t say enough good things! Awesome owners, lake and property. Fishing was great and added bonus was some of the best pier fishing I’ve had. Tons to do in the area. Have already booked for next year!!
Owners were very nice. The beds were very uncomfortable. No WiFi or tv reception. Fishing was not good. No ramp to put boat in by cabin.
Other than the weather this was a very nice vacation. The owners were very friendly, the cabin very clean and Mugsy my chocolate lab had a great time swimming in the lake. I will stay again in the future and hopefully the weather will be a bit nicer.
