About this cabin rental

Kingfisher will give your family a secluded, cozy cabin vacation on a beautiful northern lake. Recently this cabin has been totally renovated from top to bottom, with new exteriors, windows, electrical, furnishings and appliances but with all the charm of the north woods.
Kingfisher is part of a compound of family cabins on 40 acres set in the heart of the Chippewa National Forest. Our family has made memories here for 75 years and five generations.
This cabin is up on a bank set back about 100 feet from the lake with lake views from most of the cabin. Steps from your front door is 1000 feet of private sandy beach on a great swimming-fishing-boating lake. The sand bottom drops off very gradually, making it ideal for kids to swim safely. Round Lake is known for its great fishing, with a variety of species including walleyes, northerns, perch and panfish.
Enjoy the spectacular sunsets, star-filled skies and sometimes northern lights from our private dock. We provide 2 canoes, 2 kayaks and 2 paddleboards for our guests to use. We will give you info on renting a fishing boat on the lake or you can bring your own boat and moor it in front of our beach. Lounge, grill or picnic on your private patio. Make s’mores or hot dogs on a fire in the lakeside fire pit.
The small but efficient two-bedroom layout is perfect for a family of 5. There is a new double size bed in one bedroom. Three new bunk beds plus a play area give kids a great area to hang out and play and to sleep. A banquette which seats 6 around an antique table is a great place for meals and games or card playing. Cathedral ceilings create an open, inviting atmosphere. The cabin is set up to provide for all your needs: 250 mg high speed direct connect internet, wifi, smart television, ¾ bathroom, well supplied kitchen, linens and towels. Upon reservation confirmation, we’ll send you a detailed list of all we provide.
The seclusion of our cabins offers an ideal habitat for a variety of birds and animals. You are likely to see loons, pelicans, eagles, various ducks and geese, hummingbirds at the feeder by your cabin, deer and occasionally the kingfisher after whom the cabin is named.
Our location in the National Forest gives you great hiking and biking trails within minutes of the cabin, We will provide a notebook for your use with suggested activities in the area.
Smoking, hunting, shooting and pets are prohibited.
Judy lives at the cabins during the season and will be happy to assist you with anything you need. Please don’t hesitate to contact Judy with any questions you may have. Check out our listing for Thieves Den cabin for a slightly different cabin layout.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the cabin on Round Lake in Squaw Lake! From the moment we arrived, Judy was incredibly welcoming and thorough. She took the time to explain everything about the cabin, share local recommendations, and provide helpful information about sightseeing, activities, and things to do in the area. Her knowledge of the lake and surrounding community made our trip even more enjoyable.We were fortunate to have gorgeous weather during our stay, which allowed us to fully appreciate the beauty of the lake. As an avid fishing family with both children and adults who love to fish, Round Lake and nearby lakes made it a perfect destination. The fishing was excellent, and we spent countless hours enjoying the water, fishing, playing games and making memories together. We also particularly enjoyed Fish Tales, a nearby bar and grill that quickly became one of our favorite spots. With shopping, dining, and local attractions all conveniently nearby, everything we needed was within reach.Overall, this was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The cabin was wonderful, the location was beautiful, and Judy’s hospitality was second to none. We made great memories as a family and cannot wait to return for another stay. Highly recommend!
