Great Stay!

This lakehouse was perfectly located for a short weekend to enjoy Minocqua. Beautiful lake views, wood available for the firepit, and surrounded by plenty of great supper clubs. Had a great time, would recommend!

The weather could not have been much worse for us BUT in spite of that, we had a really great trip and definitely plan to come back! That says a lot about how nice the cabin is and how truly terrific the property owner is.My husband and I did a short 4 night stay, and we were joined by our son, DIL, and 2 grandkids (ages 4 and 2) for a day and a half. For all the booking and planning steps, property owner Jessica was outstanding to work with. Her replies were always prompt, informative, and friendly. When we had an issue with the pontoon, she was incredibly responsive and quickly worked to resolve the problem and make things right. Superlative customer service!!!The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The video walk-through is helpful and accurate! The bedrooms were extremely spacious and comfy (not typical of most cabins we've stayed in), and the design of the main floor felt spacious and very comfortable. The cabin is really well designed for our crew and turned out to be a great venue for several rounds of hide-and-seek and musical chairs. :-) As noted, we did rent the pontoon. Despite the awful weather (cold, rainy, high winds), the pontoon was a GREAT first boating experience for the littles. We agreed it is a must for our next visit.We did not get to use the decks or fire pit but can imagine it will be amazing when the weather is nice. We were VERY grateful for the washer and especially the dryer. Saved the day!Thank you, Jessica!!

Found a keeper

My friends & I take a ice fishing trip each year somewhere in Northern Wisconsin. Glad I found this gem right on a lake. We put alot of time on the ice came up Thursday left Sunday. Cabin had plenty of room for the 6 of us. It was very nice to just walk out onto the lake and catch fish right away. Close enough that the guys could yell you have a flag when i was to busy catching fish in my shack. We will be returning next year for sure

My family loved the cabin and the lake! Highly recommend including the pontoon in your stay during the non-winter months. Great location and check-in was easy. The cabin was cozy and had all the amenities one could ask for. Had a great time bbq'ing and hanging out around the campfire at night.Would highly recommend!

Perfect place! Loved watching the otters out swimming every day, great swimming & fishing for kids! Couldn’t even keep up with all the fish they were catching, house is beautiful! Communication with host was quick & easy! Only downfall was property was very close to highway so you could hear traffic but honestly didn’t mind but my parents didn’t enjoy that part! Pontoon was great too! 10/10 would recommend & would go back! Amazing “northern memories” were made!
