You will love our two log cabins in the heart of the Nicolet National Forest on the pristine shoreline of clear, springfed Butternut Lake.

Butternut Lake is famous for fine catches of smallmouth, walleyes, and northern pike. Jumbo perch await children and pan fisherman. Our gradual, sandy shore affords great swimming. Nearby lakes offer exceptional musky fishing. Several excellent trout streams are just a few minutes drive from our cabins.

Nicolet National Forest trails offer hiking and wild berry picking. Numerous National Forest lakes surrounding Butternut offer additional exceptional fishing, canoeing, swimming and recreational kayaking opportunities.

We are located just 15 miles from the resort towns of Three Lakes and Eagle River where you'll find fine stores, theatres and restaurants. Golf courses, go-carts, horse-back riding and rafting opportunities are nearby.

Our cabins are immaculately clean and completely furnished. Just bring your own sheets, towels and paper products.
