Had a great time at the layover with 3 couples and 5 kids would definitely come back. Few things that needed to be fixed up but otherwise a great cabin. Loved the screened in porch. Boat landing was relatively close to the house so that was nice. Having a close source for firewood is also a plus. Kids had fun with the basketball hoop and swimming off the dock and playing hide and seek in the house. The addition of WI FI is great as there is no cell reception.
Had a lovely time at this great property! Looking forward to returning here
and Little Spider very soon. Thank you to the owners and their great manager Ken.
This house was perfect for a family vacation! It's close to downtown Minocqua, yet you feel away from it all. The lake is peaceful and very clear. The house is very spacious and has everything you need to be comfortable. We hope to come back again!
Location and accomodations are great. Recommend bringing your own drinking water. Cell reception is spotty and no Wi-Fi, which can be a positive. Would also be nice if chairs were included around the fire pit. Overall a nice getaway with family.
We came here for my brother's 80th birthday. The house was very comfortable and the views of the lake from the enclosed porch were beautiful! Highly recommended!
Everything was great. Lots of space to inside and outside!

Why they chose this property
The owners of this property are out of country most of the time so Ken Korsch, a neighbor and rental owner, has started to make this property available to people who enjoy rustic escapes while having the luxury of being less than 10 minutes from downtown Minocqua.
What makes this property unique
There is a swinging bed in the back porch. The porched is screened in on the second floor and is very large. The two lower bedrooms have doors leading to the outside. The main area is a beautifully maintained home overlooking the lake.
