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.

Fall Getaway

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.

Lakeside House

This house was perfect and had so many extra touches that made traveling even easier, especially with two young kids. The hosts were excellent at communicating and answering any questions. It's a gorgeous lake, and we will definitely be wanting to come back again!

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.

Labor Day weekend

We had a large group of family, 12 adults and 3 infants, staying at the house and everyone loved it! The size of the house was perfect, the amenities were very nice, and the backyard with access to the lake was beautiful. We were all extremely happy with our stay.

Spectacular

Beautiful home overlooking a beautiful lake…… The Home has every amenity one can ever think of, and the owners of this beautiful house cannot be more wonderful if you have any questions that may pop up. Extremely clean, wonderful location, and the view is simply out of this world! We rented the pontoon boat and saw a beautiful views. I Fish off the dock and caught some big size fish without even trying! You’re on the trails for snowmobiling, as well as ATV/UTV, which is simply amazing! I believe this is my sixth time being there, and will continue to go as long as it’s available. They must place to rent if you’re in the Minocqua/Woodruff area and you’re close to Minocqua with a five minute drive …….perfect perfect perfect location!

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.

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!

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!

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!!!!!

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.

AMAZING -SPECTACULAR GETAWAY HOME

This was the second time we stayed at this wonderful home and everything about it is just spectacular! The surroundings are just breathtaking! The lake…. Trees … wildlife you see when going for a stroll. The home has just about every amenity you can think of! Plenty of room for your guests to stay. On a snowmobile/ATV trail so no traveling to hop on… just go to the end of the driveway and there you are!!! Plenty of privacy so that gives you that cherry on a Sundae. If you have any questions or assistance of any kind you just need to reach out to the owners and they get back to you immediately! You will be so happy that you chose this wonderful home for your getaway!

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.

Family Getaway

We came to the area to enjoy a few days of rest, relaxation and family time. Our group was my husband, 2 teenage kids and my husband's kids. The lay out of the house was great for our group, the lake is beautiful, clean and FULL of fish!! My kids loved kyaking, floating on their floats and fishing with their dad and grandpa. Grandma had fun trying new recipes, playing cards and winning mini golf when we went into town. I had to work from home for a few days and the office was great, it over looked the lake and we all LOVED the whole house and outdoor stereo, music is the back bone of our lives! This house is perfect, lots of room, lots to do and we will hopefully stay again!!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa DeVantier

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.
