Hey lovebirds! Valentine’s Day is exactly one month away, and if you're dreaming of something quieter and more intimate than the usual restaurant rush, we've got the perfect spot waiting. Picture a private lakefront cabin on Lower Holly Lake, snow softly falling outside, a stone-faced gas fireplace crackling inside, and nothing on the agenda but each other. That's the magic of Cattail Cottage—and good news: it's still available for Valentine's weekend (Feb 13–16)!
While all of our other properties have filled up fast, Cattail Cottage is ready for your romantic escape. It's the sweet, intimate one—sleeps 8 if you want to bring family or friends, but feels just right for two (or a small crew) who want that tucked-away Northwoods charm. Let's talk about why this cabin makes Valentine's feel extra special.
Why Cattail Cottage Is Your Valentine’s Dream Spot
Nestled right on Lower Holly Lake, this cozy knotty-pine gem delivers all the romance without the crowds:
- Stone-Faced Gas Fireplace Glow → The main-floor stone fireplace is the heart of the cabin—perfect for curling up with hot cocoa, soft music, and zero interruptions. There's a second gas fireplace downstairs too, so warmth is never far away.
- Easy Romantic Touches → Full kitchen for a homemade Valentine's dinner (or takeout from nearby favorites), fire pit with free firewood for s'mores under the stars, and board games for those "no plans" nights.
- Pet-Friendly Bonus → Bring up to two dogs ($150 fee) so your furry valentine can join the cuddle fest.
It's the kind of place where romance happens naturally—no forced fancy, just real connection in a setting that's pure Wisconsin winter magic.
Simple Ideas to Make the Weekend Unforgettable
Keep it low-key or add a little sparkle—either way, the cabin does the heavy lifting:
- Fireside Evenings → Turn on the stone fireplace, pour some wine, and let the crackle set the mood.
- Deck Dates in the Snow → Bundle up for a short stroll along the dock at dusk—bring a blanket and watch the sky turn pink.
- Quick Local Touches → Drive 10 minutes to Red Schoolhouse Wines for a cozy tasting, or grab takeout from Pine Ridge and reheat it lakeside.
- Lazy Mornings → Sleep in, brew coffee with that lake view, and linger—no checkout rush.
