It is a beautiful location, and it's nice to have a pier on the lake where we could park our boat. Of the places we have stayed in Minocqua, this one was the closest to a boat ramp than any others, quick to put the boat in and take it back out. Nice supper club we could walk to, close to Minocqua and all it's restaurants and stores. It's also close to the Bearskin trail for biking. Place was well kept and clean. We enjoyed out stay here and would return. ##### D M. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### natasha g.

Fully equipped kitchen, large dining room, comfortable beds. It was perfect! We loved being right on the water. The dock was newer and perfect set up for our boat. We waterskied right from the dock! The shed had a couple weber grills, cornhole boards and lawn chairs. There was a young bald eagle that perched in the tree on the property often. Lots of ducks, geese, mink, bunnies, chipmunks. Great place to stay!! You can walk to Slo's Pub for a great meal too! ##### natasha g. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glo T.

The location was perfect because we visited both Eagle River and Minocqua. The only problem I could see would be when the neighbors are also at their place you would be right on top of them, especially while at the fire-pits. But, no one was next door the 2 nights we were there. And, we were very lucky to have seen the Northern Lights which were amazing!!! ##### Glo T.

Sep 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My friend & I stayed for 3 nights in September. Lovely, homey & very clean property on a lake that holds many memories for me since 1951! Beautiful views of the lake from all the windows in living room, kitchen. Well equipped with everything you might need except bath towels. Front door lock was problematic, however Management cheerfully arrived in a flash to assist! Was late in the season, no one staying in neighboring homes & in spite of rain & cool weather we visited our favorite restaurants, shops & sights. The bench on the pier is wonderful for peaceful moments gazing out on Big Arbor Vitae Lake! ![View from the pier](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/341e3149-e8dc-4054-9f96-88efcefb4f1a-1758032598899.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sharon Marie M.

I have stayed at a lot of different VRBO properties, and this was by far the cleanest! Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils. A great bar (good pizza) is about 1/4 mile away and a great supper club (great ribs) is also about 1/4 mile away. Very quiet lake with not much traffic. You do have to bring your own towels. The only issue we had was that the master shower did not drain well, other than that it was a great house. We will definitely book this property again. ##### Pete D.
