The Octagon on Bass Lake

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Say hello to The Octagon on Big Bass, a unique lakefront escape built in 1964. Enjoy a superb location near shopping, dining, and a movie theater in historic downtown Eagle River, as well as fun adventures like horseback riding, go-carts, and mini-golf. You'll be situated in the snowmobile capital of the world with abundant trails to ride and cross country ski trails to explore.

Carefully updated and furnished with modern furnishings and decor, the beautiful interior will have everyone slipping into vacation mode in no time. Bring along favorite recipes, as the extra-large galley kitchen has stainless steel appliances, Corian solid surface countertops, complimenting original cabinets, and an avocado green tile backsplash to make preparing meals fun and easy. And, when everyone is ready to kick back after exciting days, the living room will be just the place to watch a favorite movie by the warmth of the stone fireplace. You'll also love the spa-like bathrooms including a deep soaking tub.

Though you will find it hard to leave the comforts of home, step through the sliding glass doors and you will find yourself mere feet from the lapping waters of Bass Lake. Launch the two kayaks, the paddleboat, canoe, or paddleboard when you feel like getting out on the water. Or, sit on the dock, gather around the fire pit, or fire up the gas grill to enjoy the summer sunshine on land.

This getaway is one you need to see in person, so book your stay at this highly sought-after gem today!

No public access to launch boat on lake

We booked this property based upon the listing and three features - 1.) being able to spend the week on our boat on the lake, 2.) a sandy beach for the kids to swim, and 3.) the Chexx bubble hockey table for rainy days. Please be aware there is no way to launch your boat on this lake as there is no public access and the launch on the property is blocked by the provided non-motorized boats. Unfortunately, Vacasa seemed to be reluctant to be transparent about this; we emailed 8 times and called twice and they still kept telling us we could use the dock for our boat, there was no public access, and the chain o' lakes was 3 miles away. This was confusing and disappointing. The lake is sandy at this area, but clearly has not been swam in much recently as there was significant weed growth. There is no beach access for playing. The hockey table was no longer there. When we arrived, we found coffee stained cups that clearly had not been cleaned before put in the cabinet. We washed all the dishes before we used them after that experience. The rest of the house seemed clean. We found an adequate supply of towels, toilet paper, detergent and soap for our stay. We appreciated the canoe, kayaks, and paddleboat. Fishing off the dock is great for kids. You will catch lots of sunfish! The kids had a wonderful time, but we were disappointed the experience didn't match the listing. Would recommend a night light if you're traveling with kids. It does get dark in the house!

Wonderful spot!

The Octagon was a wonderful home! Very retro and comfortable interior - loved the sliding doors all over the house to let in that beautiful northern air. The kitchen was spacious and we utilized the grill and firepit daily. The lake itself was great for fishing and swimming, as well as kayaking and canoeing. Our kids had a great time swimming in the shallow, sandy parts. Overall it was an amazing place and we can't wait to return!

Nice place. Clean. Great Lake. Good fishing right off the dock too. Close to town! Would have been nice to have the canoe not locked in the garage

Awesome!

What a great place and location. They thought of the smallest details to make our stay perfect. Can’t think of a thing we needed! Bass Lake is a great lake for fishing, boating or taking great photos. Can’t wait to get back.
