Beautiful and perfect for large group

Our group/family of 10 had a wonderful stay at this home. It was a perfect size and well furnished with everything we needed! Great location and really a lovely home! The owners were very easy to communicate with. Other than a couple hot and rainy days, it was a perfect getaway to end our summer!

Beautiful house in a great setting. The sunset views from the living room were fantastic. The kitchen came with everything you could possibly need. It was nice that we had two separate sleeping areas so the younger family members could watch their shows and play their games.

Northern Wisconsin at Little Spider Lake

Very good accommodations, waterfront and toys. Good fishing, nice firepit, open concept kitchen and deck nice, used screen porch every day. Kitchen well equipped, internet and streaming tv's all good. A critical aspect for us was having very good quality lake water and Little Spider Lake was excellent.

Great time in Minocqua

We stayed over labor day weekend with two families. We had 4 adults and 4 young children (4 yr old, 3 yr old and two children under 1). It was a great location on the lake and the house had enough space where both families could be together but also have their own space. We also rented the boat which was a lot of fun. We would rent here again.

Little Spider Lake

Nice home. Good accommodations. Worked well for our family. Disappointed with the condition of the home upon arrival. Lots of dog hair on furniture and the floor. Cleaned all floors and counters/tables and vacuumed the furniture before we step up for the week.

Well Equipped House for 10

We had 10 family members ranging from infant to grandparent. We were surprised at how easily the house held all of us. We could all sit together at the dinner table or in the great room. The bedrooms were spacious. The workroom turned out to be very handy. We appreciated being able to park in the garage. This is the best equipped kitchen we have encountered with copious plates, wine glasses, etc. It was very easy to be together and separate when we wanted. There are a couple items that need fixing, but that is generally to be expected.

Another great family vacation at the lake!

We had a wonderful week on little spider with the extended family. The house works so well for our group with room for everyone. The weather was on and off this year but we loved it! Joined the 4th of July boat parade and was welcomed by other lake home owners and renters. So fun! Had beautiful evenings to enjoy the fire pit and make S”mores! Thanks for the awesome setting for our yearly family get together!

Perfect northwoods family vacation

Property was ideal for our annual damily vacation. Great location on Little Spider Lake. Beautiful. Clean. Spacious. Well appointed. Well stocked. Had everything we needed. Loved fishing off the dock, boating, fire table on deck, perfect gathering area indoors for meals and family time. Close to downtown Minocqua for outings. Great restaurants, shopping, breweries, coffee shops, mini golf, go karts. Extraordinary property for family vacation.

Perfect Stay at the Perfect Place!

We loved Melissa & John's property on Little Spider Lake. It was meticulously clean, well furnished and stocked with everything we needed for our time together. We stayed with 6 adults and 2 children - ages 3 & 6. The kids LOVED the lego table and swing set! We enjoyed having a fire pit, swimming in the lake, fishing (and catching!) and enjoying the awesome pontoon boat. The lake has loons and bald eagles aplenty! The property is a quick 10-minute drive into Minocqua for everything you could possibly need (Kwik Trip, Walmart, activities, etc.). Communication with the hosts was exceptional and they made us feel incredibly at home in their home. We will be back again!

Wonderful Week!

We had the best week ever! The house was beyond beautiful and had everything you may want. We had a wonderful time on the lake which was beautiful. We rented a pontoon boat and went tubing a lot and you must not miss the zoo in Minocqua. Spent one day horseback riding and miniature golfing. The house has a wonderful grill which we used frequently. This is the place to be!

Nice Place Great Hosts

Stayed for a long snowmobiling weekend with friends. Easy trail access and plenty of parking. House was spacious, clean, and well stocked with everything you need. Beds were extremely comfortable and had duvets for bedding - which is a personal choice but something I really appreciate. Hosts were very communicative throughout the stay and quickly responded when we had a question. House is also next door to Marty's - as good of a northern wisconsin supper club as you'll find. Thanks for having us - we will likely be back.

Modern, Spacious,and Quiet

There were only 5 of us - all adults - but the house would accomodate MANY more comfortably. The screened porch and the deck were great for our dog. The wifi worked flawlessly and there were device charging devices throughout. Although there are other homes nearby and it's very close to US 51, it's very quiet. As advertised, sunsets over the lake are spectacular! All-in-all, a beatiful and well-appointed home.

Awesome Experience

Once again statues at this beautiful home off the lake. We went this time to snowmobile and relax. The trails are on the foot of the driveway…..couldn’t be easier. What’s better in the morning laying down on the couch and put the electric fireplace on. The home has every amenity. you can think of. The owner makes sure your stay is a memorable one. Five star all the way!!!!!

Wonderful Family Vacation

We spent the week at Melissa's wonderful lake house celebrating the 4th of July and 3 birthdays - Great Grandpa's 80th, grand daughter's 25th and great grand daughter's 1st! The kitchen was perfect for our group of 12 to be able to cook, eat, and sing happy birthday all together in one room. We also enjoyed corn hole and Campfire in the back yard. Not to mention the fun we had on the lake! Great place with everything you need. It was so nice to have so many bedrooms and bathrooms. The extra refridgerator in the basement was wonderful as well. Thanks for such a fun family week! Hope to be back again next year!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa DeVantier

Host profile image
This home has been in our family for more than 30 years, and is near and dear to our hearts! We are blessed to be the current caretakers, and are grateful for the opportunity to share it with other families that enjoy Wisconsin’s beautiful Northwoods!

Why they chose this property

This lakeside home has it all. The acreage and woods ensure privacy. The private dock offers you the ability to bring your own boat, or rent our spacious new pontoon boat! The lake is big enough for all the water sports and recreational fun you love, but small enough that you’re not overrun by other boats. The trail at the end of the driveway allows for even more off-water fun. It’s close enough to Minocqua to easily participate in all the town has to offer, but the space between the cabin and town ensures quiet nights and a starlit sky. The sunset are breathtaking, and can be appreciated on the dock, in the spacious family room, on the deck, or by the bonfire pit. The house is large enough to accommodate big family gatherings.
