Cute Cabin in great location

We took our first trip with our newborn and 5 year old son to this cabin. It was excellent! The location was close to everything we wanted and still so quiet and private. The cabin had plenty of space and was very clean. We even left a stuffed animal behind and the mailed him to us right away! Loved the experience.

Beautiful Home on a Nice Lake

We stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time. The cabin is beautiful, well equipped, clean, and the views of the lake are amazing. Nice 2 bedroom, 2 full bath, plenty of parking, and right on the water. It's close enough to town for a city visit and for supplies, but still had a feeling of being out in the woods away from it all. We visited in October so it was too cold to enjoy boating or swimming but a summer trip would be great. We did have some nice campfires watching the deer in the woods who came up to us right by the cabin, loons and ducks on the lake, and the stars above. Communication with the property manager was excellent. We had to shuffle out arrival and departure dates and they worked with us. Everything about the visit was great. We will definitely be back! Thank you

Northwoods Getaway

We had a comfortable and relaxing week-long stay at this cabin! It was very clean, well-equipped and cared-for, and a great location: it was a drive of only a minute or two into Minocqua and Woodruff for those times when we needed retail therapy, yet it felt MILES away from civilization when we were fishing off the dock or staring out the beautiful lakeside wall of windows! Lots of recent renovations have obviously taken place throughout the cabin, and we especially appreciated the great master bedroom and bathroom updates! Hopefully the mattress in the smaller bedroom will be replaced soon - the couple staying in that room said that they spent the night rolling towards the center of the bed. We enjoyed watching all the neighborhood wildlife around the cabin: multiple deer families, loon family, turtle and fox. There are TONS of fun things to do in this area for all ages and interests - so glad we had a whole week to enjoy it all!

Great up north experience!

We enjoyed the wonderful accommodations and the beautiful setting on the small lake. We liked going out in the paddle boat. It was nice watching the loons and deer. We brought our bikes and were close to the bike trails in the area...even got some shopping in. Overall wonderful vacation time!

Relaxation with a great view

Very well kept property with great improvements in progress. Location is excellent for activities around the area. Lake is very quiet, being a non motorized lake. Paddle, pontoon boat provided was great for fishing or an evening cruise around the lake. Fishing was decent as we caught largemouth bass, bluegills and a small northern. Overall no complaints and a big thumbs up.

Great family getaway

We had a great time staying here and so glad we did. The view is great, right on the lake. The house was a great size, had everything we needed, and the kids loved it. It was so nice to have a fire pit, Lake access to fish, and the little pontoon paddle boat. Close enough to town to run for groceries or go to the shops, but quiet enough that we could enjoy the stay. Will definitely be staying again!

Exactly what we needed!

This place was exactly what we needed. Beautiful views of the lake from the master bedroom and front room, amazing backyard, quiet, peaceful lake that we spent hours on each day. Surrounded by nature and had many encounters with the deer family in the woods and the duck family on the lake. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place to relax and rejuvenate!

This property was going through a remodel at the time of our stay. Host did let us know that a few days prior. Missed the screened porch that was pictured in ads. Overall though this place is great! We had ample fishing, and the lake to ourselves as we stayed during the week. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your cabin.

Relaxing week on quiet lake

Quiet lake cabin close to everything. Enjoyed fishing off the dock and paddle boat. The swim pier and camp fire area were great. Launched our ski boat several times at School House Bay boat landing with ample trailer parking on Minacqua Lake. The cabin had everything we needed and was clean inside. The patio door and screen doors could use some work.

Nice getaway;' one glich though.

The cottage was as advertised, very pleasant and clean. However on day one a septic system problem arose, burned out pump which was fixed during the last day of or stay. Unfortunately during the interim we assumed it would be best to limit our wastewater output, which really hampered basic things like showering, flushing and dish washing. No fault of the owners, I have a mound system myself and have had the same thing happen. Fixed now, should be good for 20 years!

Loons nest

This was everything we hoped it would be, a peaceful and quiet get away for a week . The cabin itself had everything that you needed to enjoy your stay. really enjoyed watching the deer coming so close to the cabin both morning and evening and not have a care that we were there. The lake was perfect temp for swimming and fishing. The weather was also perfect for fires at night while listening to the loons. We hope to do this again in the future.

Great stay for the 4th

This area is the perfect location (in my opinion for a trip up north) it's just enough off the beaten path to give you a sense of escape from the world but yet close enough to where you can bike downtown Minocqua in 10-15 minutes. The non-motorized lake was great as it was quiet and the kids could swim and fish without worry. Yet it was a 5-10 minute car ride to drop the boat in Lake Minocqua if needed. The home itself was good sized for our family (2 adults, 2 kids) and we never felt we needed more. The property was clean inside and had everything we needed. All was in good working order and do not have any complaints. The only negative was the cleanliness of the exterior. However, growing up in this setting I understand the work involved in keeping an exterior kept up. Having the maintenance or caretaker wipe down the screen porch picnic table and ensure the grill(s) are not covered in spider webs would go a long way. Otherwise, the setting and home was beautiful and perfect and we would love to book again in the future.
