If you are looking for peaceful place to stay on a non motorized lake this is the place to be. Enjoyed all the wildlife at all times of the day and the recently updates to the house.

Our stay was great!!! So much wildlife around the cabin. Fishing was awesome, we caught tons of fish!! House is clean and well equipped. Owners are very responsive. Nice being right on the edge of town, feel the privacy with all the necessities right down the road!

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.

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

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!

Relaxation with a great view

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Just what we were hoping for. Nice cozy cabin. Lake was nice and the girls enjoyed swimming out to raft and jumping in. Took the aqua cycle out and did laps around the lake. Close to everything, yet far enough away to give you that rest and relaxation you want. We had some nice family time. Thank you Brad, Mary Jo, Charlotte and Nicole

Has Potential - Needs Work

Has Potential - Needs Work

It was a pretty setting overlooking the lake on a wooded lot. Previous comments about "very clean" were bewildering. Dust, hair, spider webs on the floor at wall in bath and bedrooms. Drips pans under stove burners loaded with crud. Top of range fan sticky with grease. I know this is the north woods, but have the windows and screens been hosed off in, well, years? Was the well water safe or not? A little piece of paper from Oneida County said to rinse dishes in bleach water. The drinking water filters not changed in 3 years. Tap water was very smelly. Bedroom 2 had a wall sconce light (one bulb) and no table lamp or other light. One night stand, no dresser. There were sturdy TV tables in the LR that doubled as suitcase stands. One light in the living room. Only two chairs on the screened porch. So, it needs: a sulfur and iron filter for the whole house water, need drinking water filters, some lamps in the LR and BR2, a chest or dresser in BR2, suitcase stands, and a thorough cleaning inside and out. More and upgraded porch chairs.

Private location but close to it all

Private location but close to it all

This secluded cabin is on a smaller lake right across the street from Minocqua Lake. It is a great fishing lake with lots of deer living in the neighborhood. Given its location, you can be anywhere in Minocqua, Woodruff, or Arbor Vitae within a few minutes. The cabin has just about everything you might need: pots, pans, silverware, utensils, towels, soap, board games, life vests, and fans. The only negatives were the lack of potable water and cutting board. My husband and I enjoyed our time there despite the rain - thank goodness for the screened porch - and would like to stay there again someday.

Very clean and well furnished with everything needed (cooking, coffee, some fishing equipment). Great Wi-Fi. Nice property layout with cabin on the hill, fire pit close to the pier/water. Very good fishing right off the pier for bluegills and bass. It was disappointing to find the large portion of the pier under water and no paddle boat as advertised. Overall a good experience.
