Upon arrival, Carolyn met us to give us a tour of her property. The information provided was very useful, and we really appreciated it! The house is private, but a 5 minute drive to the grocery store and downtown Minocqua. We had a wonderful week on the pontoon, and highly recommend this property!

Perfect Property

Our extended family had a wonderful time here. The location is ideal as it is private and feels isolated yet all the Minoqua amenities are within minutes. The lake is quiet, clean and great for boating, swimming, and fishing. The shoreline at the house is flat and sandy for swimming. The house itself both inside and out has all the amenities and space we needed with our multiple families. The owner is amazing to work with and we plan to return soon!

Wonderful week at the lake...

This is a great spot to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. The lake has minimal traffic providing excellent opportunities to go out with the pontoon boat and the paddle boat. We also brought along two kayaks which were a lot of fun. Great fishing off the dock. The well-stocked house easily accommodated our group of 9. The hot tub was a pleasant surprise, we used it often. Walmart is just around the corner for anything you might need. Carolyn and Bill are excellent hosts ... communication and tour when we arrived were second to none.

Bad Experience!

Bad experience! Was not aware when we reserved the cottage that a neighbor is only 50 feet away with a large dog. Our dogs wanted to visit his dog and vice versa, neighbor got nasty, cursed at my 81 year old husband in front of our grandchildren and threatened to call the sheriff. Cottage owner blamed us rather than understanding the situation, and put some extreme ‘rules’ in place. That was enough to ruin our family reunion. Walkway to the lake is hazardous with tree roots, my husband tripped and fell, 12 year old grandson tripped and cut himself, no lights at night making it even more hazardous. Major amenity (hot tub) that was in VRBO info when we reserved, and on current VRBO picture of the place, was not there, yet I was charged $45 for a tear in a screen. All in all, a week to forget!

So much fun!

We had a family group of 6 adults and 3 children under 10 and our dog. We rented the pontoon and had a great time fishing off it and just riding around the lake! We also fished off the pier and caught a lot there too. There is nearly everything you will need to cook a nice meal. From pots and pans to baking dishes and a crock pot. There are plenty of knives for chopping vegetables or cutting up your steak. The basement area has a room with a split king bed and a queen bed. There is also an area downstairs that has 4 twins! We spent more time upstairs-primarily because the lower level is very humid. The water does have an iron smell to it, but that is not unusual for the north woods area. There is an air conditioning unit in the family room upstairs that helps keep the kitchen and living room cooler. Carolyn was a great host and met us there when we arrived to give us a tour of the home and to show us where everything was. The hot tub was a hit with everyone! We had a rainy day to take a trip to the Children’s Museum in Eagle River. We went to the farmers market in Rhinelander and also stopped at Beesy’s meat market for some wonderful chicken, pork chops and steak. There was a grocery store Golden Market that had great organic foods. Everyone had a great time there!foods. everyone loved it!

Great family Week!

Our group of seven adults, four children, and one dog enjoyed our week in Carolyn's lovely home. The sandy,shallow beach area was perfect for "kid fun" on our floating lily pad. Pontoon rides and rides on our Big Mabel towable were lots of fun, too. The kids enjoyed watching and catching lots of smaller fish from the dock and the pontoon Looking across the lake we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere----but a short two-minute drive found us at Walmart for buying whatever we forgot or ran out of. If you're planning to invite extra daytime guests or bring a dog, be sure to visit with Carolyn ahead of time.

Great Location!

This was our first time in Minocqua (we usually stay in Conover). This property is just minutes from everything we wanted to do and if you like pan-fish (which we do) this lake is perfect. The kids loved fishing off the dock and wading in the water to fish and swim.

Northwoods Wisconsin at its best

Our family had a fabulous week at this wonderful house. There are many outside spaces where you can enjoy the beautiful setting. Kids loved swimming in the lake off the dock and from the beach. Adults kayaked, swam, fished, read, and eagle watched. The house was very clean and had everything and more that we needed. Carolyn is very friendly, responsive and accessible. Should we vacation in northern Wisconsin again, we will be reserving time here.

Short week getaway in the North Woods

Great property. The best out-fitted VRBO home we have ever rented, with extra linens, blankets, towels and plentiful kitchen equipment. The property is beautiful! and the location hard to beat for convenience. Carolyn was fantastic in accommodating our needs up to and during our stay. We especially loved the time she took to speak French with our daughter. The one regret we had, was that we could not stay longer.
