The home was exactly as described. Beautiful location on a very nice lake. We’re coming back in November. Would highly recommend

Lovely little cabin with wonderful views of the lake. The kitchen has all the essentials you need and the entire atmosphere is cosy and peaceful. Cagney was a wonderful host, who was always helpful and responsive during our stay. Highly recommend staying here if you enjoy nature and outdoor activities!

The Landmark of Minocqua 2 Bedroom Condo (A)
Amy's stay was wonderful! The place looked exactly like the picture. Location was wonderful in the heart of downtown and very walkable to shops, restaurants, and more. Amy's instructions to get in and out were clear and simple. Lastly, she put in a very personal touch with checking in on our stay, which was appreciated. You won't go wrong with this stay!

Cozy nature cottage on peaceful lake in the woods
The place was great. It had everything we needed and wanted. It's very peaceful. I would definitely go back. The host gave us an opportunity for an early check in and a late checkout. He was very responsive.

The Nest on Bird Lake
We very much enjoyed our stay! The lake is beautiful. Our group enjoyed kayaking and spending time around the fire. The cabin is well stocked and very comfortable for 6 people. Jessie is very responsive and gave us tips about our trip up to the cabin. We even heard and saw the loons on the lake! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to spend some time on a lake!

Laid-Back Living Cozy Cabin On The Lake
From the booking process to the check out everything was great. Great up north decor. Very nicely appointed. The kitchen had everything you need. The appliances were of good quality. There was not a dishwasher but that provides an opportunity to spend quality time with other guests. I would definitely book this place again and give it great recommendations. The hosts were very attentive.

The cottage was extremely well stocked, clean and cozy. We had very thing we needed. Heather was a very considerate host making sure we had everything and included little extras to make our visit extra special! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cabin in the Northwoods (Jersey Flowage, WI)
Cozy cabin decor. Everything you need is in the kitchen (utensils and small appliances). Quick walk to the shoreline. Our group gathered around the kitchen island for game night and snacks!

Big Pine Retreat
Third time we have stayed here now for snowmobiling. It’s very close to trails. We enjoy this place and appreciate the access to the single car attached garage for when we may need to work on sleds. Perfect place to stay for snowmobiling. The only thing I could recommend to the host, is upgrading the beds as they aren’t very comfortable, especially after a long day riding. Otherwise, great!

Big Bear’s Den - On Lake Alexander
I think that this was our fifth stay at Big Bear’s Den on Lake Alexander, so obviously we think highly of this place. Jay always stops to say hi and to love up our dog. This time we accidentally locked ourselves out. Jay was there in 10 minutes to rescue us. We will be back again.

Lakefront Home on Big Bearskin
We had such a good time at the Lawry Lodge! This beautiful house was able to accommodate 8 of us comfortably. The kitchen is where people hangout, eat good food, and enjoy each other’s company and this kitchen checked all the boxes. Very well-appointed pantry with all the accessories you’d ever need. The view was stunning! We took a nice winter stroll to a nearby pub for an Old Fashioned with gently falling snow to make it perfect. Ronda was very helpful and quick to respond when needed. Very happy to have found this little slice of heaven and hope to be back again someday.

Twin Pines Hideaway in Lake Tomahawk
It was quiet, not too far from anything we needed, overall a great place to stay and very close to where the wedding we attended was, well within our price range as well!

Blue Stone Bay by Rondele Ranch
Our stay was amazing!!! The house is basically brand new! Thanks Vonda for being super helpful when we had questions about the kayaks & life jackets available at the nearby cabins. We love the super chill vibes of 'the Northwoods'♡

The house was very clean, full of amenities, everything you’d want for a trip to Minoqua!

The Retreat Cabin on the Lake at Marmutt Woods
Every thing was great but I would suggest you check the board that lead to the lake the first two move or lift when u walk on them I only went down and sat by the lake and take pictures. But it could be a safety issue

Your guide to Minocqua
Welcome to Minocqua
It takes just one look at a map to understand why they call this region Wisconsin’s Lake Country. In fact, Minocqua is situated on a tiny peninsula jutting into a lake ringed with beautiful boathouses, and you can fish right off the public pier downtown. Minocqua, and the nearby communities of Woodruff and Arbor Vitae, offer an ideal getaway for people who love both summer and winter outdoor activities. Walleye and bass are plentiful in these waters, and there are so many small lakes around that you could find your own, spending the morning with no one but the birds to keep you company. Hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails wind their way around the lakes, and when the snows descend, the trails are marked with tracks from cross-country skis, snowshoes, and snowmobiles.
The town of Minocqua itself is a charming basecamp, with plenty of shops, breweries, and restaurants to entertain you between adventures. (The Friday night fish fries in this region are legendary.) The 36-foot-tall statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe is not the only remnant of this area’s logging past — lumberjack shows take place in Woodruff all summer.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Minocqua
The population of Minocqua quadruples in summer, which should tell you a little bit about the considerable appeal of Wisconsin’s lake country. All those lakes keep the July and August weather from being oppressively hot, though the weather does tend toward the muggy. (Thanks to the lakes, you’ll also want to bring lots of bug spray.) The fishing season begins in late spring and goes through early fall, when the temperatures dip into chilly territory. October turns the entire countryside brilliant shades of orange and red — perfect for hikes and scenic drives. The snows start in late October and peak in December andJanuary, when the temperature often drops below zero degrees Fahrenheit. But those are also the perfect conditions for activities such as cross-country skiing, snowmobile riding, and the city’s favorite winter sport: snowshoe baseball.
Top things to do in Minocqua
Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest
The Wisconsin state authorities have counted 900 lakes in this 236,000-acre park, located just a few miles from downtown Minocqua. There are plentiful trails for you to meander on, sandy beach spots with picnic areas, and a nature center at Crystal Lake Campground that offers displays and educational talks. You’ll also find dozens of campsites, including a few primitive backcountry spots that require a canoe to get to. Keep in mind that you’ll need a state park admission sticker for your car.
Hanging out in the water
If you aren’t driving to Minocqua with your own boat in tow, never fear: There are a number of rental shops that will hook you up with everything you need to hang out on the water, from tubes and stand-up paddle boards to pontoons for slow cruises. You could set your canoe into the water and spend the day exploring the chain of Minocqua Lakes. Anglers here set their sights on walleye, bigmouth and smallmouth bass, bluegill, and muskie. If you visit in winter, the fishing doesn’t stop — it simply moves onto the ice.
Minocqua Winter Park
This nonprofit hub for snow sports, which combines a municipal park with trails through private lands, is a popular destination for all manner of winter fun. In addition to the 54 miles of trails dedicated to cross-country skiing, you’ll find groomed paths for fat-tire bikes and snowshoes, hills for tubing down, and a lake for ice-skating, as well as fire pits and refreshments.
