Family summer vacation fun!
We enjoyed our stay at this cozy, clean and updated cabin not far from downtown Minocqua and the lake. The check in process was seamless and the host was very kind. The cabin had everything we needed for our family to stay for multiple nights. They had a very nice back yard with a fire pit and even a gate for furry friends! We didn’t bring our dog on this trip but it’s great to know that we have the option in the future. We would definitely stay again! Five stars.

Overall, very nice clean place. Loved the fenced in area for the dogs. Hosts very accommodating and quick to answer questions. Only set back was the mattress' are not very comfortable and hwy vehicle noise was a bit noisy at times but not terrible. Having fans there helped. Did enjoy our stay and would come back again!

Overall good stay, nice fenced in yard, pretty clean, could hear the highway, nice couch, beds. Hosts allowed us to check in early and were responsive throughout stay. Basement was too cold to use other than laundry. Photos of the exterior grounds would have helped show that it is right off highway. Heated LED fireplace was nice. Great hosts. Good experience.

Comfy, cozy, and clean
We stayed at this property over Thanksgiving, so the weather was cold. However, the temperature and coziness inside the house couldn’t have been better! There were plenty of blankets and flannel sheets on the beds. The space was super clean. You would never know it was a pet-friendly property if you didn’t read it in the description. Also, there was plenty of drawer and closet space to unpack our things, and the washer / dryer were great. Lastly, the proximity to Minocqua was perfect. It was far enough away to feel like you were truly in the North Woods but close enough for quick errand to the grocery store or for dinner out. Highly recommend…would absolutely stay there again!

A beautiful place for a vacation!
We loved the house and the check in process was very easy. Everything was very clean and fully stocked for anything we needed. We didn't spend any time in the basement due to not feeling comfortable with the camera down there. I understand the cameras that were outside, but were a little surprised to see them in the house too. I would choose a different place in the future for this reason. Hosts were very quick to respond to my question regarding the check out time as online it showed an 11:00am checkout time, but the information at the house showed 10:00am checkout. Overall we had a pleasant stay!

We loved the house and the area. Even though you are on highway 70, sleeping is not interrupted and lots of great eating places from breakfast to dinners only 6 miles away. The beds are fantastic and even though we didnt cook, they have everything you would need. Even in the bathrooms the only thing missing is a razor....lol. We enjoyed an evening fire in the backyard. But just make sure you have repellant mosquitoes get bad about 845pm. And yes they had everything you need for firepit also. I would stay here again if in the area.

We had a lovely stay at the Cozy Cottage! The entire home was extremely well equipped, comfortable, and very clean. There was extra toilet paper, paper towels, kleenex, and the laundry was great to have on hand for some dirty camp clothes! Good location, easy 13 min drive to town.

Great place to stay in Minocqua
Very nice, clean, comfortable cottage. It had everything we needed with the bonus of a fenced yard for our dog to run around in. Despite being right on Highway 70 it was very quiet. We would definitely stay there again next time we're in the area.

Cozy cottage in the Northwoods!
The place exceeded our expectations! Clean and comfortable. Appears to be newly remodeled and well stocked. We worried about being right off Hwy 70 but bedrooms are in back and we never heard highway noise when sleeping. Large fenced in backyard which was great for our dog. No lake but we knew that. Ordered pizzas from Rustic Pines across hwy which were delicious! Washer/dryer in clean dry basement. Loved our stay!

This cottage was in a great location for our ski trip. It was a short drive to Minocqua Winter Park. It was bright and cozy with lots of windows. The cottage was extremely clean when we arrived. There are lots of little extras such as a higher end coffee maker, an air fryer, electric tea kettle and a not so little TV with an Amazon Fire Stick. We’d definitely stay again.

We rented this property for an extended stay. Jay and Sherry were really great hosts. They always responded within a few hours at most to any question that we asked and they even checked in to see that the various services that service the property were coming when expected. The place is close to all the outdoorsy activities we wanted to do but an easy quick trip into town.

My friend and I have been meaning to go enjoy ourselves and relax for a weekend without the kiddos, and we finally decided on this cozy cabin in the woods! The house had everything we needed and the owners were incredibly kind and helpful. It was just the thing we both needed to rest and recharge. There is a cute little bar and gas station across the street, but you still have feel and privacy of being in the wilderness. We would highly recommend!
