Details

Located in the northern woods of Phillips, Wisconsin, Hidden Cove Resort offers a genuine retreat for anglers, hunters, and anyone seeking a solid outdoors base camp. This lakeside destination features six uniquely named cabins—The Northland (Cabin #5), Loon's Nest (Cabin #1), The Logger (Cabin #3), Sportsman’s Lodge (Cabin #2), Fisherman’s Cove (Cabin #4), plus the spacious Lake House—all outfitted with practical comforts that elevate a simple stay into a memorable adventure.

Phillips sits within the Lake Holcombe region, renowned for its clear waters and dense mixed forests of pine and birch. The proximate lake system is home to walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, and panfish, drawing avid anglers year-round. Hidden Cove’s fishing facilities include a well-maintained fish cleaning shack with running water and easy-to-access docks, making catch-and-clean a breeze. For non-anglers or boat enthusiasts, pontoon and 7.5 HP motor rentals provide a serene way to navigate the lake, fish, or simply float.

Owned by Regina, the resort has evolved steadily, with thoughtful improvements like fresh flooring, modern toilets, and reliable Wi-Fi ensuring guests enjoy a balance of rugged outdoor experience and comfort. Each cabin comes stocked with essentials—pots, pans, charcoal grills, ground coffee, and linens prepped to crisp standards—so visitors can focus on the day’s adventures, whether it’s grouse hunting in nearby public lands, fishing marathons, or gathering around the fire pit for s’mores and stories.

Hidden Cove stands out in the northern Wisconsin lakes area by addressing every practical need while maintaining close access to natural beauty and recreational opportunities. It’s a place where tradition meets careful stewardship, and where families, hunters, and anglers return year after year to reconnect with nature on their terms.
