Natural Features

The cabins sit amidst a forest of old-growth trees consisting mostly of Hemlock and Maple within walking distance of Lost Lake. The 92-acre lake gets its name from the lack of apparent inflow or outlet of water. The lake is actually fed by springs and the lake is a "No-Motor Lake". Tall white pines, hemlocks and other evergreens border the lake, Loons can be heard singing across the lake. A watchful eye can catch the resident eagle or osprey as they search the waters for their next meal. The lake is stocked yearly with Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout and also has a good population of Smallmouth Bass and panfish. The cabins are a short drive to the Whisker Lake Wilderness.

This is a great place to stay. The Pine River is nearby as well as Lost Lake. There is a nice hiking trail that circles the lake. The cabins and common facilities are clean and comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a north woods getaway.

Lost Lake Cabins is such a magical place. Beautiful lake, awesome old growth hardwood hemlocks, dark skies complete with the full milky way at night. The cabins are vey basic but also spacious and comfortable — they are perfect for the setting. This is my second time at the cabins and I will most definitely be back.

Resting under a canopy of old growth hemlock and maple the Lost lake cabins off the traveler a chance to experience nature and the pristine waters of the lake in an intimate setting. The cabins are equipped with rustic beds and storage areas. At least one cabin is fitted with its own bathroom and kitchen. The cabins also offer a fire ring and picnic table. Fire wood can be purchased at bargain prics via the camp host. Showers and flush toilets are also available. The cabins give you a chance to enjoy North Woods nature at its best with hiking around the lake and further trails in the area easily accessible. If you prefer to "car hike" the national park backroads offer you miles of gravel roads through dense forest. Some of the roads lead to small towns with cafes the offer hearty camp style breakfasts of bacon eggs and flapjacks covered in maple syrup. White tail deer are common sights. Black bears though present are not often sighted. Campfires are easily made and tended and campire treats like marshmallows, "pudgy pies," and hot dogs add to a day well spent in the clean air of the North Woods. Needless to say I enjoyed my Lost Lake cabin venture..

Loved the cabins; we did a wedding reception here, rented the first aid cabin, and 2 other 6 bed cabins, along with the kitchen and rec hall incase of bad weather. Wouldve loved if the first aid cabin had a full or queen sized bed! The space was perfect for the amount of people we had (100ish) and the cabins were in great shape
