An incredible gem in the North Woods! We spent two picture perfect days on the lakes. The host, Mike, truely has thought of and provided everything needed for a fantastic stay with all the comforts of home. This time it was just my wife and I but we are really looking forward to bringing our family back for an extended stay in the future! We highly recommend this property ! Thinks again Mike!!

4 day stay at cottage
Kitchen with island and living room are open and spacious and plenty of room for everyone ! Bathtub off of master bedroom was slick and no handle bars to hang on for getting in and out of tub. Outside behind the open pit fireplace is steep down to the lake and has no steps and very slick when it rains or wet ! Enjoyed the stay very much and will come back to this place !!!

Another Fantastic Cross Country Ski Weekend
The house was perfect for two families of four on our annual ski trip. Minocqua Winter Park was an easy 10 minute drive. The house had communal space for everyone and separate spaces for the kids and grownups to have their own time. The sauna was great after long ski days and the foosball table got some use. We would happily stay here again.

Back Bay Cabins
Overall, our weekend up north was wonderful! Our group stayed at Back Bay Cabins for a bachelorette weekend. The only hiccup was that the check in time that I received through Vrbo was one hour before the actual check in, so I had to kill some time when I got to Minocqua. Mike, the owner, was very responsive to

Peaceful and lovely
Excellent property just outside Minocqua. Quiet, spacious and we enjoyed using the kayaks. 2 min from a nice bar & grill, 10 min from town. Property was very clean and had everything we needed. Would stay again without hesitation.

On the lake
We were very happy with our rental. It was exactly as photos online. Very clean and a great place to stay. Only minus was walking down to the lake for people over 70. However, it was rainy and not an issue. Fun!

Ski Weekend without Snow
This cabin is in a great location for cross-country skiers looking to ski at Minocqua Winter Park or any of the other local ski areas. It is also an easy drive to Minocqua. The property is clean and well-maintained. Our children loved the downstairs with the foosball table and the giant TV. It allowed them to escape the adults quite easily and have their own party.
