This was our third time staying on the properties in last 7 years, price affordable, and always a home, away from home, feel. I am hoping to continue our family traditional trip. Thanks again.

wonderful long weekend with family
Jim’s Hideaway is very well appointed and welcoming to large groups/families. The kitchen has everything you’ll need for ann extended stay and some things you’ll probably realize you didn’t! The property is very spacious and beds very comfortable. We truly appreciated being able to bring our dogs along and allow them to enjoy vacation with us. We were hoping to snowmobile during our stay, but Mother Nature had different plans this winter 🙄 Close to many restaurants and even better supper clubs!

Great house and beach!
We very much enjoyed our stay - the house was clean, had great access to the water, an awesome beach, the water was about the clearest I've seen. There were very close neighbors which was not a problem, we just prefer being more remote. The proximity to Minocqua couldn't be beat though!

Nice stay, tough weather
Property was very nice. Pictures on VRBO were a little deceiving. Maintenance of property. For Northwoods properties, or any properties in rural areas, I think there should be some mention of water quality, for drinking. Had to buy many bottles and gallons for our group!

Amazing week away!!
We would highly recommend Jim's Hideaway. It was a spacious home with lots of amenities. We had 3 families stay there, and everyone had their own space, did not feel cramped at all! Plenty of supplies included. The access to the lake and the bonus items provided made the trip a huge success. I highly recommend renting the boat for a day! Def a highlight of the trip. Owner was easy to work with and communicative. He was amazing! Quick to respond and act on anything we needed! 10/10 would stay there again!

Wonderful beach location
The location is excellent! Kids could run down to the pier to fish, play on the beach, swim to platform and jump off, adults could join them, those who didn't enjoyed being able to see them from the deck. Dock for our boat so going out fishing was so easy, just get in and go. Nice lake, good fishing. House is comfortable, well stocked kitchen including coffee pods for the Keurig, dishwasher soap and soap for washing machine, very generous hosts. Kayaks and peddle boats were fun. It is an older house but still nice.

What a fantastic property...
What a fantastic property! Absolutely beautiful and filled with many extra amenities. A lot of nice touches. Fishing was incredible. Caught limit in first two days. Loved hearing the loons on the lake and watching the eagles soar in the sky and dive for fish. We will definitely be back to stay at this paradise. P.S. The best place to sleep is in the sunroom!

Perfect extended family vacation
We've stayed at many places up here, but could never find the perfect place that could give us everything we needed and fit our large group. But with Jim's Hideaway we finally found it! Everything was great! House was big, beach was perfect for the kids, and fishing was so much fun! With the paddleboats, canoe, and boat, everyone could get out on the lake. And the owners are so helpful and nice, which makes all the difference. We already can't wait to come back next year. Thanks so much!!

Very rude owner, and this is very old house with a lot of things not working.
Be very careful about renting this property. This house is old and many things do not work. The water smells and tastes poorly and you have to buy store water in order to be able to cook. The oven broke on the second day. The bathroom knob literally fell off the wall. We reported many things. However, when we left, the owner was very rude sending us aggressive messages on the cell phone accusing us of what we had not damaged but what was not working from the beginning. The area is very pretty, but the owner is very unpleasant with anger management issues.

Wonderful home away from home
Wonderful home on low traffic clear lake. We had 7 adults, 4 children and a Golden Retriever. Rented a pontoon from a local business and brought our fishing boat. Docking them both was a little tight, but well worth the maneuvering. Fishing was not good, but we enjoyed the perfect weather for tubing and swimming. Ther beach was excellent. Our 15 month old Golden is an official dock diver! The kitchen and livingroom were roomy and accommodated all of us well. Bring sharp knives with you and some storage containers or ziplock bags. Two closets with shelving were great for storing lots of snacks and beverages. The sun porch was where we stored our yard and water toys and games because the livingroom had lots of seating along with the large dining table. The laundry room was an absolute bonus for drying wet towels from the kids and dog. Lots of yard space around the cottage and behind the garage. WiFi wasn't great, but improvements are in the near future. After trying new locations for our annual family vacation over the past three years, we've found our new spot and have already booked next year. Only 51 weeks to go! Thank you Ken and Linda, your service is top notch!

Highly Recommend this Cabin!
We had the pleasure to stay here for a whole week with our 6 children and 2 dogs and it was PERFECT! The cabin was just the right size for all of us to spread out and truly relax. The weather was a little cool for us to take full advantage of the lake and beach, however there was so much else to do in the area it kept us busy. There are miles and miles of well groomed paved bike trails that were easy enough for all of our kids to handle. Park your car and there is a beautiful 8 mile bike ride to either Boulder Junction or if you head the other direction you will take a smooth 8 miles into Sayner. Both little towns are wonderful. We recommend eating at the Beer Bar in Boulder Junction, the food is AMAZING!! I had a smoked chicken sandwich with white bbq sauce on it.. Loved it! My daughter had a basked of chicken tenders with fries and the chicken was battered in a beer batter, like what you usually find on fish. Needless to say it was really good. Our boys had their homemade pizza and it was delicious. Back to the cabin.. We loved that there was a well stocked kitchen with all of the little necessities that you need. The bathrooms were very clean and well stocked with plenty of towels for all of us. I really appreciated the full size washer and dryer right off of the kitchen. I was able to have all of our clothes and beach towels washed before we left, which made unpacking a breeze! The bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable. There were even down comforters tucked away in the closets for those chilly nights. I have already recommended the Lake Rest Cabins to a friend. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone wanting a cozy retreat in the woods. Thank You to the hosts Ken & Linda! We will be back : )

About the host

Hosted by Linda Korsch

Host profile image
Pictured above is a group enjoying the large dining room table in the great room. We try to make this your home away from home.

Why they chose this property

In 2009 Ken and Linda acquired her father's (Jim) home and decided to add this spectacular home to its rental business--Lake Rest Cabins. With each unit having a totally different decor, it made sense to make this available to those who needed more space and wanted more amenities. Jim built this home as his primary residence with his wife Fran in 1982. The magnificent fire place that is the centerpiece of the great room includes bricks from the former Minocqua Community Building which burned down in the 1970's.

As you walk the grounds of the current remaining 10 acres, note the tall pines that were not taken during the logging days of the early 20th century. We work to keep the solitude that is craved at its best while trying to add enough comforts to give every family a memory to be cherished.

What makes this property unique

Many extra amenities such as coffee, coffee filters, hand soap, bath soap, dish and dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, kleenex, garbage bags.
