Jul 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Skipping Stone We enjoyed the stay very much. The kids had fun fishing, kayaking and watching the deer, eagles and other wildlife. Being close to the Minocqua zoo was a plus. Bad Bones and Era's were great dining choices. ##### Ben S.

Fished, took a UTV ride, had a campfire, sat on the deck with coffee in the morning, took walks and enjoyed local shopping. All of our pets loved the large yard to run and shallow waters to play in. ##### Jackie J. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan D.

Skipping Stone did not disappoint. Peaceful and right on a beautiful lake it was just what we needed. Also, the proximity to Minocqua was so convenient. Thanks for such a clean and beautiful place. ##### Dan D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dayna H. Aug 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our family group (ages 10-72 and our dog) enjoyed our stay overall. We chose this house because it is close to bike trails, pet friendly, and on the lake. Positives:Great location! Close to the main road but quiet and feels very secluded. Clean and comfortable.Well stocked kitchen.Awesome deck and large private yard.Peddle boat was a hit with the kids! Negatives:Guests are not able to use the washer and dryer.The lake water is very clear, but weedy and full of lily pads. This would make it tough for anyone wanting to swim. We had unseasonably cool weather for August so it worked out that we did not need to swim off the dock. Overall we enjoyed our stay! ##### Dayna H.

It was very clean and had all the necessary kitchen equipment to prepare food.The views were wonderful of the lake. It was great waking up to the lake views. Easy access to the pier; plenty of space in front of garage to park car.We saw deer and also a beaver who chopped down a sapling and carried down the lake.Shops were close by; we enjoyed eating at the Fin and Filet and enjoyed the ice cream at Dan’s Fudge ##### Lillian Q. ### 8/10 Good #### Lori K.
