Crossroads Sandy Beach-Wooded Private with Pontoon Available "Pets now allowed"

5 Bedroom 3 Baths, Sleeps 12 (Septic System rated for 6 Bedrooms) PETS NOW ALLOWED (2 approved dogs maximum)
“It is our desire that you find this a place of rest where you are able to check out from the ‘business’ of life… and enjoy an opportunity to reflect on how wonderful life truly is!”~ Mike & Pam (owners) This vacation rental is located on the sandy south shore of Lost Lake with 330 feet of frontage available for your pleasure. A new 22' pontoon boat,115 HP motor, with boat lift, is available to rent from owners directly. The shoreline is described by many as the best fishing spot on this 544 acre lake. Pan fish are easily caught right off the pier. Muskie and bass are also frequently caught right out in front of the unit. The lake also has crappies, perch, walleyes, and northern pike in good numbers.
Crossroads is set up with an open concept that includes a great view of the lake and fireplace from the kitchen, dining room, and the spacious great room. Two of the bedrooms have awesome views of the lake and there is also a screen porch on the lakeside of the house that will be a hit with everyone. All bedrooms have sound barriers in the walls to help provide some peace and quiet for those who are seeking solitude. A large screen TV with internet and local channels is located in the great room and free WI-FI internet service is also available with ROKU TV channels. The large side-lot offers privacy from other property owners and is an awesome place for enjoying a fire with free firewood and hanging out.
The St. Germain area is located half-way between Eagle River and Minocqua and is known for its many summer and winter activities. An immaculate 18 hole golf course is located nearby along with another 9 hole course and a par three course. The famous Bo-Boen snowmobile trail is located practically right out the door. There are also many Northwoods supper clubs, bars and restaurants nearby for a “night out” if cooking over the campfire isn’t your style.
Peace of mind that you will not have to deal with power outages that are common in the area. We have our own back-up generator for the whole house with an automatic transfer switch that will keep you up and running!

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The home is incredibly well maintained and clean. The kitchen is well stocked with just about any utensil you might need. The sandy beach made it easy to get our kayaks in/out and my granddaughter loved playing in the water. I do wish they had a gas grill (rather than charcoal), but we made it work. Location of the property is beautiful and close to town. We had 5 adults and two kids and were quite comfortable, whether sitting at the dining table, great room or firepit area.

End of summer vacation

The house met all our needs and was very clean and comfortable. It is very close to the next cabin; fortunately we were blessed with quiet neighbors. Unfortunately, the lake was very green and weedy. It was the worst fishing we have encountered.

Guys fishing trip

The cabin was beautiful, clean and as described. We especially enjoyed the campfire each evening. Mike and Pam were readily available and quick to answer questions. The area between the cabin and lake is relatively flat with no steps which was great considering we had several visitors with knee and hip replacements :). Fishing on Lost Lake was not very productive but time of year and recent storms may have had an influence.

Everything and a little more

This house was everything we were looking for and more! The cleanliness of this house was unreal. The location was very convenient and the view was amazing. At one given time we could see 23 deer including an albino deer! Last but not least the owners were simply the best people to work with. I had several questions after I booked this location and they would get back to me within minutes which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone I knew because it was the best! Thank you!

Awesome property for large group

Had a wonderful time staying at Crossroads. It was especially nice that everything was on one level other than the few steps in. Vacationing with a large group of 50+ adults (some with mobility issues) this property was wonderful. That there were no steps to the lake was another bonus. Would highly recommend.

Awesome place to vacation!!

Had a great time staying at Crossroads. Place was very clean and basically a new home. Ample space for the 11 of us. Parking was a concern for our trucks and snowmobile trailers. This place has enough parking for probably 5 trucks with 29' trailers. Located at the end of a dead end road so no traffic at all. The lake was great for ice fishing and we all had a great time. Snowmobile trail crosses the lake or the main road is also a trail. We will be back!! Mike and Pam were great to deal with and stopped by to say Hi!! Very friendly people.

Great home with a great location!

Our family has moved to a February getaway in lieu of Christmas presents for the adults. We chose Crossroads for our 2021 getaway. The home was better than expected. The layout was great for the family with small children and yet plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the home. It provided everything we needed including an attached garage which we used to load and unload the cars. The day we left the thermometer read -20 degrees so it was priceless to have the garage. We enjoyed ice skating and had a bonfire and did some local shopping and eating. The location is perfect for anything you want to do. We might try to have a summer family getaway here in the future. I can't imagine the endless things there are to do when it's warm out!!

Location & No Surprises = Family Fun !!!

Just returning from Crossroads, and what else can be said except "a great experience from the first call". Mike and Pam are great owners who tell you exactly what to expect with this amazing home, and then it does not disappoint. You know you've had a great vacation when it snows in Mid-Oct., and your teenage (and younger) kids have so many things to do outside that the TV was never on in 4 days! We have been staying in the Northwoods for over 25years in rentals, and this is one of my new favorite places. If you are considering this rental, save time and just book it. You will be very happy !!!

Mother-Daughter Weekend

Our mother daughter weekend has been happening for over 20 years. This place was the most wonderful to stay at! The oldest in the group is 79 and the home accommodated all of us! Access was easy for those who no longer can walk easily. They were able to walk to the swing and enjoy the beautiful lake and scenery. Two bathrooms have walk in showers that helped them stay independent. The home was well supplied with various cooking utensils & appliances. We enjoyed watching and listening to the eagles and loons, playing cards and canoeing. We were all able to be young at heart again! We recommend Mike and Pam's place and will definitely be back!
