Privacy and Convenience in Wisconsin's Northwoods Paradise

Green Sky Cabin is a very nice 4 bedroom, 3 bath, 3600 square foot cabin on 9+ acres, conveniently located in St Germain, WI.

9 acres offers complete privacy from neighbors. This unique property features a private trail through the woods to 50 feet of lake frontage on Big St. Germain Lake. Green Sky Cabin is open all year round.

The cabin is perfect for larger families or groups. The cabin features 11 total beds: 1 king, 2 queen, 2 full, and 6 twins. There is 1 bedroom upstairs, 1 bedroom on the main floor, 1 bedroom on the lower level, and another bonus loft (awesome for kids or teens) above the attached garage. There are 3 full bathrooms, 1 on each level.

While there is no lakeview from the property, we have a private trail through the woods that leads to our 50’ of frontage on Big St. Germain Lake. Our frontage features a gentle slope to a sandy shoreline. Use the 2 golf carts provided to our guests to shuttle back and forth from the water, or enjoy a peaceful walk through the woods.

We offer boat rental too! We have a 22 foot 15-passenger pontoon and a 14 foot fishing boat available to rent for your stay. If you choose to rent a boat it will be tied up to the dock, ready for your trip, offering ultimated convenience. Contact Fred (owner) for boat reservations.

A large, new dock was installed in 2022 and allows room to tie up your boat or a rental. Our beach area features a picnic table and multiple benches on the dock. Our guests also get to use our 2 kayaks. We share the frontage with a retired couple who keep their pontoon tied up on our dock, so expect to see an extra pontoon tied up to the dock during the boating season.

Amazing getaway cabin
We had a wonderful stay here. The pictures didn’t do it justice. The host was responsive whenever we had questions. The kids loved the air hockey table and basement space to play. The adults enjoyed the evenings eating at the large table on the porch and the fire ring outside. The golf carts made it easy to get everyone down to the lake to paddle, swim or pontoon on the boat we rented. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Wonderful winter escape at this fabulous home in the perfect location. We were able to snowmobile right from the house on to the trail system which was wonderful for our annual snowmobiling trip. Coming back each day to a warm and relaxing cabin was made even better by having great food spots for dinner within easy walking distance. Outstanding communication from the owner throughout the entire process and we can’t wait to return!

Big St Germaine Lake cabin
Cabin was great but wish it was CLOSER to water. Long way away. Was nice that they had a lot of 'stuff' already at cabin like toilet paper, roll towel, spices, etc. Had trouble with flushing toilets the first few days, but worked with Jason and he was able to get the problem resolved.

St Germaine Vacation
The cabin was very comfortable and had plenty of space for our family of 12. The living room/dining room/kitchen accommodated us very well and we took full advantage of the deck and screened porch. The lake was a relatively short walk through the woods and the golf carts made it very easy to shuttle the kids and gear to the dock. We thoroughly enjoyed the lake -fishing, swimming, kayaking and canoeing. We also rented a pontoon boat for a few days to help us get around the entire lake. Well worth it. No one wanted to leave when our week ended! It was an ideal location for our large family with children ranging from 4 - 10.

This very private property checked all the boxes for us! The cabin was comfortable with ample sleeping room. We had so much fun going down to the lake on the golf carts and enjoying the firepit in the evenings. The pier at the lake is spectacular! Will definitely do this again! Thanks Jason!

Perfect location! It was quiet and relaxing. St. Germain is a perfect location to get away from the hustle and bustle of Minocqua and Eagle River but still within a convenient distance to either town for things to do. The cabin was also very nice, cozy, and accommodating.

Fabulous!
Our group of 14 (6-79) had a fabulous stay. The common areas both on the main floor and lower level were perfect for meals, games and gathering. The beds were super comfy and the bedding very soft. Jason was very helpful and quick to reply. The air hockey in the basement and crate of games were great. There was an assortment of books for Littles up to grown ups. There were plenty of stocked supplies. The golf carts were great and we enjoyed the trail walks as well! The lake water was crystal clear and kids had a blast swimming. The ample seating at the lake was great. We hope to return! Thank you, Jason!

Family snowmobile trip
We all had a great stay at the cabin for our snowmobile trip. House was very clean when we arrived, and had plenty of space for the 12 people in our party. I had great communication with Jason prior to arrival, and we discussed a few issues other folks had mentioned while staying, and they all were addressed/fixed before we arrived. No issues at all. Definitely enjoyed the fireplace too after the days ride. Location is perfect for either riding sleds down their path to the lake (and then to that trail), or we jumped right on the second/main trail which was not even 100 yards from the driveway. Gas station is less than 1/4 mile from house as well as two bar/restaurants. We had 4 trailers and 6 vehicles parked in the driveway/garage and had plenty of room. Definitely will look to come back in future. Thanks Jason!

Wonderful Northwoods GetAway!
The cabin was amazing, in great shape, well laid out, and in an absolutely fantastic location. Right in-between Minocqua, St. Germain, and Eagle River. Close to shopping, restaurants, outdoor activities while also providing seclusion. The owners were great in their communication and we highly recommend this property if you are looking for a relaxing, exciting, and hassle free vacation in the Northwoods.

Great Cabin, Great Location for Snowmobiles
The cabin suited our large group of 8 well. We stayed for a snowmobiling trip over NYE weekend. The cabin is located very close to the sled trails which is convenient. Overall the cabin was nice, the only negative is you can tell the house gets a lot of renters due to the wear and tear on the furnishings and kitchen utensils. The coffee table was broken along with a few of the kitchen stools. The air-hockey table paddles were also broken so our group could not use it. Kitchen utensils were sparse and heavily used. Also no pizza cutter.

Great extended family getaway
We traveled with our family, my sister’s family, and my parents. It was the perfect set-up for multiple families, kids and dogs. The home is secluded from other homes so the dogs could run outside without worries of them running off. The path to the lake is great for morning walks with the dogs. For those not interested in walking (it’s about a 10 min walk), the owner provides two golf carts (one is a four seater and the other is a two seater with a cart on the back for coolers, bags, etc.). The lake (Big Saint Germaine Lake) is large enough for water sports; we brought our ski boat with for tubing. The lake is 1622 acres with a max depth of 42 feet. There are some shallow areas, as there are in every lake, so be careful with your prop. We also brought our lily pad for the kids to play on. We mostly kept that connected to the dock and they swam directly off the dock. It is shallow at the dock (2.5-3’ deep), so they can touch. We caught lots of perch and other panfish directly off the dock with bobbers and worms. The dock itself appears to be new; it is made of the resin material so there are no wood splinters. The dock is beautiful and has two bench’s on it with a platform area (where we kept our tubes). There is another arm to the dock that allowed us to park a rented pontoon boat. There is also a resin picnic table at the lake. There are two restaurants on the lake (Fibbers and Clearview Supper Club). The house is log cabin style, and offers plenty of space for everyone. The first floor has a nice mud room/laundry area with an extra fridge and freezer. There is also a full bath on the main floor that services the king bedroom and guests. The kitchen, dining, and living room are all open concept. The large patio doors open to an enclosed deck. Upstairs you will find a bedroom w two queen beds and an attached full bath. In the basement, there is a family room/tv area (which also has 2 twin beds), an air hockey table, and a bedroom w two queen beds and an attached full bath. Above the attached garage, there is a bonus room with four single beds. This is where our kids hung out and slept. Something to note is that the staircase to this area is through the garage (which is attached to the house). There is no bathroom up there so they also used the first floor bathroom that serviced guests and the king bedroom. The small town of St Germain is quaint and offers grocery, mini golf, go carts, and an ice cream shop. Great place, thoroughly enjoyed!
