Beautiful home, great location!
House was exactly as pictured and centrally located close to everything in Minocqua. Loved having our own dock!
This cottage was beautiful, comfortable, and the location ideal. From the porch we could watch the water ski show and on our last night a fantastic fireworks. Shops are all a short walk away, as is ice cream. Beds are all comfy. We had a great time!

Beautiful home in a beautiful location!
You cannot beat this location! Walking distance to everything Minocqua has to offer!
This was our second time renting this home and we will be back again soon!
The location for us was ultimately great! We brought our boat and bikes. Docked at the dock across the street, biked right on the trail, watched the ski show, fished from the pier, walked the main street, played mini golf right around the corned. Walked to get coffee at Great Northern Coffee Traders. It was an awesome 3 night vacation! Didn't get to use the garage as we didn't have access so I recommend assuring that if you plan to use it, assure you have the code access upon arriving. The house was awesome. Clean. We cooked all our meals and everything was available that we needed. We brought our own seasonings and oil. Family of 4. Mom, dad, 23 yr old male, 22 yr old girl.

What a wonderful way to spend three nights. It sounds like you made the absolute most of the location, from docking the boat and biking the trail to the ski show, the pier, and mini golf around the corner, with coffee runs to Great Northern in between. We're glad the kitchen had everything your family of four needed to cook together too. Thank you as well for the note about garage access, we've shared that with our local team so future guests can plan ahead. We'd love to welcome you all back for another great getaway on the water.

Great Location
The Catalog Cottage was the perfect fit for our mini get away! The home was beautifully decorated and very clean. The location is right on lake Minocqua with view of the water and you can watch the Minocqua Ski Club show from the boat dock that is located in front of the home. Walking distance to many restaurants and downtown shops. We highly recommend this wonderful home and will be back for another mini get away!

Location is everything and this rental is located just off the main street with in walking distance to restaurants and shopping. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely stay again.

The perfect location
This house has such a warm and welcoming character! It is clean and well cared for. The location is perfect-- everyone could just walk the less than a block distance to shop, eat out, have coffee at the coffee shops, or find ice cream. We aren't boaters but enjoyed the action on the lake, and on our last evening were treated to a fantastic fireworks display on the lake, we watched it from the front porch of the cottage. The beds are comfy, the number of bathrooms made it easy for all of us to be ready at the same time to go wherever we planned. Thank you!

The Perfect Getaway Spot
This totally renovated Sears home is a gem. Located near all the local attractions it allows you to walk to all the nearby amenities such as bars, restaurants and shopping. You can even watch the water ski show from your patio. Another great convenience was your own private pier included during your stay. The view of Lake Minocqua is fantastic. The home itself is very tastefully done which makes it beautiful and very comfortable. We had a great time and look forward to booking it again!
