Dollar Lake Retreat: Super Clean, Chef's Kitchen, Hot Tub + Amazing Sunsets

Dollar Lake Retreat is truly the most peaceful retreat. The lake in the winter is still and quiet and we spent hours sitting in the cozy sunroom looking out at the lake and snow. There is nothing the hosts forgot, and there is even more than you could hope for. You literally do not need to bring anything other than your personal belongings. Our group kept saying that it was all so thoughtful and intentional that we can't even believe it isn't their full-time home because it would be so hard to share. Even every piece of decor is thoughtful. The house layout is perfect for a group. The kitchen is separated from any of the sleeping areas, so if a group is hanging out in the kitchen, no one sleeping would be interrupted. There are two completely different living areas. One is more of the fun room with games and a big tv. The other is the peaceful quiet room where the old folks hung out. The kitchen is big enough for everyone! One pleasant surprise was the sleeping loft. We were a bit nervous to rely on it for sleeping as it was open to the floor below, but because the sleeping areas are so isolated, anyone sleeping up there would have just as much privacy and quiet as the bedrooms. Our teenage son would choose that room again! We truly cannot wait to come back!

Great location, awesome house! It was the perfect place for our long weekend in Eagle River

The house is very thoughtfully designed with comfort and convenience in mind. It was very clean and had everything we needed

We rented Dollar Lake Retreat to get away with some girlfriends! There were 7 of us and it was the absolute perfect winter spot. We love that the house can be the destination itself, but it's also 5-10 minutes from town with so many things to do. We enjoyed the hot tub, snowshoed around the lake, watched the dear out the window with our morning coffee, played games, cooked good food and enjoyed the beautiful kitchen space and SO much more. The details of this beautiful spot are our favorite part. Angie and Kevin have thought of everything. We cannot recommend Dollar Lake Retreat enough in all seasons!! Seriously, grab your favorite people and book a few nights. You won't regret it!!

We loved our stay! Everything was perfect. We had everything we needed and lots of space for the 12 of us!! The kitchen had everything including the huge table and chairs, to enjoy many games and family dinners and breakfasts around it. We hope to be back next test year!

We LOVED our stay at Dollar Lake Retreat! It's a dream of a home away from home in the North Woods: perfectly cozy AND spacious. We spent lots of time at the big kitchen table playing games and lingering over meals near the fireplace. We loved the vintage decor and all the cozy nooks with cushions, blankets, good books, and chat packs at every turn. The beds were super comfortable, and we really appreciated the cotton sheets. Even the weather was heavenly, with a snowstorm that gave us a thrill both indoors and out. Angie met us on arrival to help carry bags in and tell us about the house, and she kept in touch during our stay to make sure we had all we needed. We would have been happily snowbound, but we were grateful to Angie and Kevin for coming over to shovel and plow. This was our favorite place to stay EVER, and we'll be back! We're already planning to bring our Southern cousins up next winter.

We absolutely loved our time at Dollar Lake Retreat and will definitely be back. The home is so intentionally designed and thoughtfully stocked. We had everything we could possibly need: chargers, books, games, a fully stocked kitchen, an abundance of cozy blankets, Bluetooth speakers, and even stuffies for the kiddos that they argued over all weekend. I loved the two different fireplaces- one in the main living and one upstairs, which was the perfect place to curl up and slowly wake up in the mornings or wind down at night. The kids loved the loft area, and I loved that there were bedrooms right at the foot of the stairs so I could be close by. The lake views from the main living room and kitchen were unbeatable. The hosts were so hospitable, available if we needed in anything, and met us at check in and gave us the full tour. Everything about the experience felt elevated, which is hard to find in the northwoods. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. It is a great amount of space for multiple families to come together and make memories.

Beautiful lake retreat where a family can get together and enjoy the area.

Great home! Was great for the whole family. Would definitely book here again!

This cabin was a special experience for our party of 10. We had a sibling reunion and the cabin was exceptional. Very clean, beautiful remodeled kitchen and 3 baths. Great coffee bar and extra fridge for drinks. Beds very comfortable with quality linens and pillows. The decor is a retro modern cabin decor that made it cozy and beautiful. Three gas fireplaces. Property owner great with communication and addressing issues. Had good pizza across the street (Heid’s) and the road outside the property was perfect for morning walks and deer sightings. Honey Bear was a favorite restaurant- good burgers at Smugglers. This was the best rental we have ever had.

This property is a perfect, large group, gathering place in the North woods! The lake house is very well appointed with everything you can imagine from kitchens appliances and dishes to selves fo games for all ages. The boat house has outdoor games, ping pong and many life vests in every size for people who enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, floating on available water craft. Beds are very comfortable. The indoor and outdoor lighting is well planned for ambiance and safety. We keep coming back as there really isn't anything comparable!

Angie & Kevin have created the ultimate Northwoods getaway. Upon arrival it is notably well cared for and CLEAN. It was easy to relax and feel at home with clean surroundings. The whole cabin was stocked with all amenities we needed and then some (tools for making craft cocktails & fancy coffees for example) The chefs kitchen with large windows to view the lake is a center point of the home where our family enjoyed many laughs around the table and kitchen fireplace. Kevin & Angie worked hard to keep the ice on the lake cleared to create an ice rink. Our family enjoyed skating every day during our stay. The whole cabin is aesthetically pleasing with so much character and high end comforts. Our whole experience was a five star rating and would recommend this cabin to everyone. It’s a private location, but only a short distance to downtown and local restaurants.

Dollar Lake Retreat was the perfect spot for us to stay for a Christmas week of family fun. The large kitchen with its fireplace and long table was the gathering place every morning and evening for us to share time together. The views of dollar lake were a beautiful and ever changing winter landscape to enjoy. Our hosts took care of everything down to the smallest detail, and even decorated the house with Christmas Trees. We will definitely be back!!

If you want the best of the best with the most wonderful caring hosts, this is the place for you. We stayed in December of 2024 and it was cold and icy but... with 3 fireplaces one even in the kitchen we were so comfortable. A great little bar/restaurant just across the street is great and the lakeview even frozen is amazing! In fact, the owners were scraping the lake to make a real ice skating rink for future winter rentals too! It is absolutely perfection, comfortable beds, heaters that actually work in the baths so you won't freeze and a kitchen everyone could only dream of. If you have needs, they are there in a jiffy if you need restaurant or things to do advice too! A big giant tv in the game room and the laundry machines are big and top of the line! We loved out stay here, best rental we've ever rented and again, you could not have better hosts and the place was immaculate! Enjoy! We sure did!

Exceptional Hosts, Exceptional Property.

Not a detail was missed in decorating and preparing this home with care and thoughtfulness. The guest was number one in all of the decisions made. Cleanliness, comfort, views, privacy, and enough cooking and bathroom utensils to make you feel as if you are in your own home. The inside and outside of this property is well lit (when needed). Nothing was missed from easily functioning TV, phone chargers everywhere, (again, if needed). A beautiful outdoor fire pit, along with three i door fireplaces with one in the kitchen, provide a sense of warmth throughout your fall and winter stay. Cant say enough about this property.

Dollar Lake Retreat was the perfect get away for our extended family, adults and young children included. The spacious home on the lake attracted us to book the property for a week, and when we were arrived we admired the design detail and cleanliness in each and every space! The kitchen blew us away- it was beautiful and stocked with everything we needed- top notch quality everywhere! The kids had a blast jumping off the floating dock and playing ping pong in the screened in porch. When we had a couple of rain days, we still had fun playing games and watching the rain fall outside the large windows. Angie and Kevin were great communicators before and during the trip! They had a personable approach to hosting us. We will definitely be back and recommend the property to friends and family!

Our entire family of 12 enjoyed every minute at Dollar Lake Retreat. We spent lots of time in the living room, the kitchen, and the game room -- as well as outdoors! The living room and game room -- as well as the bedrooms -- have the total Northwoods Wisconsin feel to them. (We have spent a lot of time in Wisconsin over the decades.) My husband and I both pronounced the kitchen the most well-provisioned kitchen we have ever seen! Everything we could possibly have sought when cooking, serving, and cleaning up was there. What beautiful space! And we all appreciated the separate refrigerator/beverage bar. Angie and Kevin are perfect hosts -- helpful and available but not intrusive. I really appreciated the professionalism and accuracy of their website; in the months leading up to our stay, I visited it dozens of times. The reality matched my expectations perfectly. Wonderful stay in a wonderful place!
