Staff Retreat

I took several of my staff on a short team building retreat. I chose this location as it was remote enough for us to be engaged in activities with each other, yet close enough to local resources to be able to enjoy what the community has to offer as well. The property is beautiful and well maintained. We felt pampered with all the amenities. I honestly do not believe that any detail was missed. I would definitely stay here again. Wonderful job!!

The perfect hideaway!

The property was beautiful and clean. It had everything for a perfect "girl's" getaway. In the main living area, each person had their own recliner, a fireplace, and a beautiful view. This was our primary hangout spot. The beds were comfy and we each had our own space to spread out do to the layout and size of home. We are planning to come back!

Private Family Location

This property was even better than I expected. It was a well-furnished, clean home with everything our family of 9 needed. Perfect lake for kayaking and fishing. We appreciated the quieter location away from the busy touristy areas. At the same time, it was an easy trip to nearby spots for groceries, shopping, and exploring. Beautiful sunsets and campfires. We would have wished for more seating and some shade down by the dock. We will definitely be booking again!

Excellent stay in the north woods

We had an amazing stay. House is beautifully done with tons of amenities (foosball, games, large table for cards) and don’t forget the theater room! Lake is quiet and secluded. We brought inflatable paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy. Saw loons and an eagle. Perfect location between Manitowish Waters and Minocqua. Communication with the hosts was seamless.

Beautiful inside but outside…

A beautiful log cabin in the woods and on a quiet & serene lake! Cabin was clean and accommodations were adequately supplied. There is only one complaint we all had and that was the outside yard and landscape needing a lot of attention! The pathway down to the dock was an obstacle course all the way to the lake! Because of this it would not be a place I can take my grandchildren, sadly.

Great cabin just 20 minutes from Minoqua!

Our stay at this cabin was absolutely lovely! It is located about 20 minutes outside of Minoqua so just know that your nearest gas/bait/grocery will be a small trip into town. The cabin itself was very spacious, clean and well-equipped. We especially loved the open kitchen and the theatre room in the basement! The fire pit was up close to the house which was great, because the trek down to the dock was a bit steep/uneven. We had someone in our party using a cane who couldn't make it down which was disappointing. There was great fishing and beautiful sunsets off the dock, we could even hear the loons!! This was a great cabin and we really enjoyed our stay!
