You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Peace, Privacy and a Pontoon!! No steps in home or to water!

If your dream Northwoods vacation includes an immaculate home, a level walk to 300' of frontage, a huge private pier, ripple sand beneath your toes and a quiet, 180-acre full recreation lake, then consider spending your vacation on Tambling Lake in Eagle River. The lake is private; you will probably experience moments (or hours or sometimes DAYS) when you will have the lake all to yourself. Fishermen will not be disappointed as bass, pike and panfish abound! Grill lunch and dinner and savor your meal on your private pier. Perhaps you will spot an eagle, otter or loon "dining" while you eat! After lunch, take the provided kayak, paddleboat, canoe or rowboat out for a spin. An 18' Bennington pontoon boat is also available for $550/week plus gas. A sunset pontoon cruise is the perfect way to end a fun-filled day in the Northwoods. Follow your cruise with smores around the fire pit. Sleep deeply, wake and repeat!! Families and friends will appreciate the chance to unplug and reconnect with one another. Watch a movie, play a board game, complete a puzzle and relax, relax, relax! Eagle River's famed chain of lakes is less than a 3 minute drive. Back roads are perfect for bike rides, atvs, or a leisurely jog. Participate in local festivals, flea markets, farmer's markets or just do some souvenir-shopping in Eagle River. Bring your beach towels. Everything else you will need is provided for you. A washer and dryer in the cabin are provided for your convenience. Call today to reserve your week of quiet bliss at Gabe's Getaway! Saturday-Saturday rentals only June 1-August 31. This property is privately owned AND managed. All communication, prior and during your stay, is directly with Sally, Joe or Gabe. We want your needs taken care of immediately so we have chosen to manage our property ourselves.

What a fabulous stay at the cabin on Tambling Lake! It was exactly what we needed to wrap up summer—a wonderful balance of relaxation and adventure. Our days were filled with fishing (we lost count at 43 fish, including a 21.5" bass!), boating, paddle boating, a little swimming, and evenings around the campfire. We enjoyed plenty of delicious home-cooked meals—some in the cozy kitchen, others on the grill or over the fire—and we also loved venturing into town. The Nutty Squirrel, Chubby’s, and Toad in the Hole quickly became our favorite stops.One of the highlights was having our adult kids join us at different times during the week, and with extended family staying in a nearby cabin, we were able to spend wonderful days together on the water. It made the whole trip feel extra special.Sally and Joe went above and beyond as hosts—the cabin was spotless, welcoming, and felt like home from the moment we walked in. They offered thoughtful tips about local happenings and were quick to answer questions or lend a hand. We’ve stayed at a few other cabins over the years, but none compare to this one.The only thing we missed—but was mainly more of a “want”—was WiFi, since cell service was spotty and it was hard to get in touch with family that was staying nearby- In the end, though, that just added to the peaceful escape. We can’t thank you enough, Joe and Sally, for creating such a wonderful place. We will definitely be back!

We had a great week. Thanks to Sally and Joe for their thoughtfulness on creating an excellent property. It was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The dock was huge and the pontoon boat made the lake experience incredible. Fishing was great. I would recommend this property very highly. Can't wait to do it again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Gabe's Getaway! Sally and Joe were awesome hosts, very responsive and gave us some great tips on the happenings for the week in the area and just overall very welcoming. The property was very well kept and clean. Everything was laid out very nicely and had lots of room for lawn games and stretching out. We really liked our daily visits from a doe and two fawns. Loved the pontoon boat for fishing and lake cruises, and the pier was great for enjoying sunsets or just enjoying the view. Hope to come back again!

Retreat Into Nature

We enjoyed the comfort and spaciousness of the cabin. The lake is peaceful and we really enjoyed sitting on the dock, having coffee in the morning and watching the sunsets in the evenings. The loons, ducks and eagles came by to greet us every day. We loved all of the trees on the property and were thrilled when the deer came. Fishing off the dock, using the paddle boat and kayak added to our enjoyment.

Awesome property. Awesome hosts. Great fishing.

There’s a reason this is a five star stay in the Northwoods. We rent a place every year, and my adult children expressed that overall this was the best property that we’ve ever stayed at thus far. Great hosts. Great fishing and an awesome dock set up for swimming and enjoying the water… eagles, loons, deer and a private lake with abundant bass and northern. A great Northwoods getaway! 5 ⭐️

EAGLE RIVER CABIN

The cabin, property, pontoon boat, firepit and lake were great. We had a very nice stay. The only issue was the ATT service in the area. We had no service at the cabin, the hotspot did not work, the tv only had 5 channels and there was no wifi. If you have Verizon you will be OK. I definitely would return if they provided wifi.

We stayed at Gabe’s Getaway with my parents, sister and her family. It was an awesome week of relaxation in the north woods. The cabin has all the amenities one needs for a week away. The hosts are so kind and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed the pontoon boat and cruising around the lake. Located conveniently close to downtown Eagle River. Would recommend!

Fantastic Stay!

We loved our stay at Gabe’s Getaway. Property is very clean and perfectly situated close to Eagle River but with plenty of peace and quiet. Owners are so accommodating and communicative. We would rent here again in a heartbeat. Lake is absolutely beautiful- it was too cold for swimming (October) but it’s perfect if you come in the summer. Sandy bottom, steps for easy access to the lake, plenty of water toys, and with the shallow water it’s perfect for families with kids.

Beautiful woodsy location

The property is so pretty, surrounded by trees, and the pier is the perfect place to watch the sun set over the lake. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking dinner, and the beds are very comfortable. Our only wish would have been to watch some television late-night, but there was absolutely no t.v. reception.

Tambling Lake Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the Tambling Lake cabin. It was so nice to get away and relax for a few days. The cellular (and tv antenna) reception was very spotty so it limited us to our electronics, which was what we needed anyway. Dinner and sunsets on the dock was wonderful. The pontoon rental was such a bonus! We took advantage of it and fished around the lake as much as we could.

Sally and Joe went above and beyond with their hospitality, communication and friendliness. We left saying this was one of our favorite places we have ever visited. The house was extremly clean and equipped with everything you need. We also rented the pontoon boat at a very reasonable cost and had a great time fishing, swimming in the clean sand bottom lake and star gazing. We are couting down the days until we can visit again!
