Nestled in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, Clearlake Cottages is a modern family retreat built with DEN Outdoors cabin plans. Featuring a Modern Alpine Plus and two Outpost cabins, the project blends contemporary design with the natural beauty of a crystal-clear lakefront setting. For Tim and Sue Campbell, the vision was simple: create a modern cabin retreat where their family could gather year-round, while offering guests the kind of design-forward experience that has made lakeside cabins in Wisconsin increasingly popular.

Unlike traditional Northwoods builds, which often default to rustic log homes or simple square structures, Clearlake Cottages showcase modern cabin design details—from soaring window walls to Scandinavian-inspired interiors. By using DEN cabin plans, the Campbells were able to streamline the construction process, align easily with contractors, and bring architectural quality to a region where design-driven cabin plans in Wisconsin are rare. The result is a family compound that feels intimate, functional, and visually stunning.

Beyond serving as a family retreat, Clearlake Cottages is designed to meet the growing demand for short-term rentals in Wisconsin’s Northwoods. With a combination of cozy Outpost cabins and the larger Alpine Plus, the property strikes a balance between privacy and togetherness. Whether used for fishing trips, snowmobiling adventures, or lakeside escapes, the cottages embody the best of modern cabin living while proving that luxury cabins don’t need massive footprints to deliver unforgettable experiences.
