We had a beautiful snowstorm for the weekend. The cottage is cozy and warm. The view is beautiful with a tranquil, peaceful setting. It is close to town.

Lake house
Overall it was a good place to stay . . A few things that could use some attention . . It’s the smell that hit first . . Very musty and stale . . Very old furniture and the bedding could be updated . . Plus side . . It was quiet and peaceful and loved being right on the lake . . Also it is located centrally for shopping and restaurants

Weekend escape
This was a much needed break. Although it was quick it was exactly what we needed. The house is perfect for going and exploring the area and outdoors. If you are going to sit inside of the house and be pampered this is not the house for you but then again you probably aren't looking for that if you are here. Fishing off the dock provided small baitfish in an abundance unfortunately nothing more than that but wife and kids had a blast. Lots of deer especially in the morning. Overall great stay!

Our stay in September
We had a good time during our stay. Weather was great but too early to see any fall colors. Enjoyed the campfires roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. We are crafters and worked well into the morning.

The perfect nostalgia trip for oldsters having a memorial service.
The weather was perfect and the space just right for our lunch after the service. The host was prompt and helpful when we had questions, the beds (mostly) comfy, and the decor charming. My family lived both on Gross Rd and over on Farming Rd and fished Hungry Lake often in the 30s, 40,s and 50,s. Saying good bye to my parents in this setting was just what we needed.

A cozy cottage with a gorgeous view of a quiet lake.
The cottage was clean and comfortable, stocked with linens, paper goods, and kitchen supplies. It is located within minutes of Woodruff/Minocqua, but the area surrounding was peaceful. Lots of wildlife.

Peaceful and quiet.
This home is a great getaway. We sat outside for hours, watching the deer, eagles, and otters. The opposite shoreline is all undeveloped, it really felt like we were the only ones on the lake for most our stay. Great location for everything we like to do in the northwoods!

Great Location
Loved the quiet and serene location. The cabin could use some TLC in general. There were also a couple of broken items which should have been taken care of prior to rental (toilet seat came off and my husband had to hunt for a screw driver to screw it back in; the blinds in bedroom were broken and laying in the closet so there was no covering on the window).

Great Location & View
While the location and view is great, the cabin could use a little TLC. If you stay here, bring your own toilet paper and hair dryer. Also, there were missing lightbulbs. I sent an email to the guest contact but never heard anything back. While none of this is really a big deal, we expected a bit more for the price we paid.

Perfect Spot to Escape for a few days
The place was tidy, the little beach area was perfect for my daughter to swim and play. We loved the deer roaming around and the Eagles were the cherry on top of a short stay.

Cabin up north
We were super pleased with our stay. Getting in was easy (make sure you read the instructions on the lock box!), the property matched the description, it was clean and tidy on arrival, and overall comfortable. We loved being right on the lake and close to family in Woodruff. Would definitely stay there again.

My brother and I came up for a fishing trip and needed something simple. The cottage was as described. The only issue was trying to open the wrong lockbox to get the key but was quickly resolved.
