Relaxing Stay

We had a great time. The property was beautiful, and the lakes views were amazing. We brought our bicycles and rode the trails in Minocqua and St. Germain. The countryside was so pretty. I would highly recommend this property for a great relaxing stay.

Great property in good location

We enjoyed staying here. Plenty of room for our party of six. Well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, clean linens etc. only negative was the intense scent from all the glade plugins. I contacted owner who said they’d fix it right away. I hope so so we can come back and enjoy son.

Excellent Cabin and Location

The cabin was beautiful and location was great for fishing with a boat. We stayed with our adult teenage kids and they loved it. Ping pong and board games at night made the stay enjoyable. Close to town and gas stations, quiet and it had everything we needed including a gas grill. The only thing we did not like was the 9:00am check out (with 3 kids), which was a challenge, but we made it. Overall, the nicest cabin we have stayed at, very modern and clean inside.

The cabin was very clean, had everything you could need. Nice and close to the lake and our kids favorite part was the swinging rope into the lake.

Baseball and Fishing Weekend

Everything was great from the start to the finish. Due to the baseball scheduled we needed an extra day and were easily able to make that happen. Everything that was provided down to the kitchen utensils were perfect! Hot tub was awesome after the cold weather on day one of the baseball tournament. Great location and overall amenities and experience. We will be back!

Amazing Property

10/10, one of the more memorable locations in all my stays near Minocqua, worth every penny. The location, the house, the dock, everything was out of this world. Easy and fast communication with the owner, immaculate condition, barely had to go into town for anything! Just like it should be. I would recommend this property to anyone, for anytime of year, for any reason.

Beautiful property with lake access

The cabin is beautiful, super clean, well stocked, and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed just sitting lakeside sipping wine and visiting with family. The weekend we booked was the weekend of Beef-a-rama. Which was also fun to attend in Minoqua.

Great Stay!

Clean and plenty of room for our extended family - kitchen, living room, and lower level family room are big enough for people to gather. The pictures don’t overstate the size like many of rentals do. Great star gazing from the dock. Housekeeping wasn’t finished until after 5:00 when we arrived, but after that, it was great. We’d definitely come back.

Perfect place for a family vacation.

We were impressed with this property. Beautiful lakeside view. They have a very nice dock i was able to park my 19 foot boat in. Caught many bluegills and bass. A little on the smaller side but still fun. Also it came with a ton of ammenities. Place was very clean and organized. We really liked the open kitchen with the big island in the middle of it. Beds were very comfortable. Owner even checked with us to make sure we had enough propane for the grill in the middle of our stay. He was very good at answering any questions we had in a timely manner. Also, its only a couple minute drive to the convenience store and only about a 10 minute drive to the downtown area. The lake is very clean so its great for swimming. The highlight of our trip was driving the boat to the sandbar and just hanging out in the water at the sand bars near shore. Turned on some music and some of us fished while there and some just relaxed and took in some sun. There was enough of these sand bars that we didnt have to wait for someone to leave before getting a spot. I would say this was one of our nicest properties weve stayed at in Northern Wisconsin. Look forward to hopefully returning sometime soon.
