This place could do with some updating, but it makes up for its somewhat funky and neglected appearance by being mere yards from a serene little lake with its own dock. The beds are comfortable (soft yet firm underneath), the shower is generous, and the kitchen is well equipped. We brought bikes for our stay and were delighted that we could ride them into Minocqua to do our grocery shopping as well as around the woodsy local neighborhood and to the Bearskin Trailhead. The location is unbeatable: you feel you are in the wilderness, yet you are just minutes from all the shopping and other amenities you might want. The cabin faces west over the lake, so sunsets can be enjoyed either from the yard or dock – or through the large picture window in the living room. We enjoyed the little screened-in cottage next door with its games and card table. Better lighting over the beds, bedside tables, and some updated electrics would be great improvements, but against that the big screen TV had Netflix and other streaming channels and the kitchen knives were top of the line. The price, given all these pluses, is very fair indeed.
