Notes from the host
Eagle's Nest
Escape into the forest of Mountain, Wisconsin with a stay at Eagle's Nest, a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation rental cabin, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! Featuring 600 feet of river frontage and a modern interior, this eco-friendly home provides a true getaway for those seeking a reprieve from life's stresses. Spend your days hiking, hunting and relaxing on the expansive deck system or head out back to experience the state's best trout fishing on the Oconto River and kayaking at White Water Sports Rentals.
We love our family pet dogs and welcome yours too.Your well behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval. This property allows up to 2 dogs. There is a fee of $50 per dog/per night, which is collected separately and approximately one week prior to your check-in date.
Towering old-growth forest, manicured lawn and gardens, along with Eagle's Nest rustic appearance welcome you to this whimsical Mountain property! The wood exterior gives way to a sleek interior, highlighted by the well-equipped kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, perfectly complemented with dark cabinetry.
Guests who are eco-conscious will love that the home runs on solar power and features gas appliances, plus an eco-friendly refrigerator. Take time to yourself and read in the cozy living area, play a round of cards at the dining table for 6, or sunbathe next to the Oconto River. There is a 43-inch TV with 16 local channels and a Blu-Ray DVD player for those movie lovers.
Two massive decks delight the senses with fresh forest air, scenic views, and access to an outdoor kitchen area, featuring a gas grill, built-in cooler, and food prep space.
In the evening, locate the bedrooms - one found up a winding spiral staircase. If you're lucky enough to claim the 2nd bedroom, you'll enjoy falling asleep to the sound of the crackling wood-burning stove, along with long baths in the lavish garden tub.
Eagle's Nest is one of three properties on the Loon Rapid's Lodge estate. The other properties include Homestead, which offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and accommodates up to 6 guests and the newest property Raven's Nest, a new construction in 2023, offers 1 bedroom, loft, 3 bathrooms and sleeps up to 6 guests. Rent Eagle's Nest, Raven's Nest, and Homestead to have your private, off-the-grid, ultimate getaway.
Special property notes:
* This property is located in a quiet community with neighbors and is geared towards quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors, we cannot accommodate parties at the property including bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunions, or other rowdy gatherings.
* There are three vacation rental units on the premises, and there may be other travelers present during your stay. The outdoor gear and property is shared among the three properties.
*The 2nd bedroom and 1/2 bathroom is not accessible from the inside of the home. Guests must go outside and up a flight of stairs to enter.
*This home has 3 exterior security cameras. One located on the roof (looking at solar panels), one on the hill (looking at solar panels) and one on the driveway. They do not see into any interior spaces.
*Please be aware that our vacation rental property is off the grid, and as a result, the internet and Wi-Fi connection are quite limited.
