Location: oswego, il | I stayed at Running Bear resort which is in the channel between Rest and Stone lake. No wake so it's quiet. Not bad getting to clear and island but down to the southern couple lakes took time with the no wake areas. Knowing where you want to fish is key. This is a small two cabin resort very nice and quiet.

| Red Feather is on the water. Its on Rest Lake so you are on the end of the Chain which makes for long travel to get to Island or Manitowish. |

Location: north central wisconsin | Sleights Wildwood on Island may still be renting cabins also, you'd have to call as they don't answer email.
Island lake cottage: https://www.vrbo.com/1317845?noDates=true&unitId=1876130
The lodge on Manitowish is beautiful and expensive.
There is a small VRBO studio on manitowish lake that is part of a larger property. https://www.vrbo.com/482492?noDates=true&unitId=1065673
Fawn lake also had a VRBO, but I believe they may have split it up/sold some of it - worth a look.
Pea Patch Motel, not ideal or right on the water, but close and convenient.

Location: Vilas County, WI | As mentioned above, knowing where you'd like to fish is beneficial with navigating the no wake areas. The stretch from Rest to Stone is the longest; followed by Manitowish to Alder; and Alder to Wild Rice.
From Pea Patch (Rest Lake) to Wild Rice (far southern end), is a little over an hour depending how fast you are wide open across the lakes.
One other thing, they will start draining that chain in the coming weeks, which then makes travel from lake to lake much more difficult or impassable.

Location: mercer wi | Usually start draining chain mid October. When they do it goes quick. Have seen it drop 2' in 2 days. By 1st week of november the channels are super skinny |

Location: Clintonville, WI | Voss' on Spider Lake was an option for me several years ago. Good location to fish out of.
They have single rooms, cabins, etc. I would not call it 5-star but plenty nice enough for me. |
