Getaway
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.

Great place, great hosts!
A second very enjoyable stay for us. The property was clean and perfect for our needs. Jay went well above and beyond to help with some intelligent TV account issues.
Would most definitely stay again.

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!

Restful Vacation in a Very Cozy Cottage
My family thoroughly enjoyed our restful retreat in this clean, well-appointed cottage. It had all the amenities needed for our summer getaway.
Jay and Sherry were so kind to check in periodically to ensure we had a great experience, and responded swiftly to our questions.

45th wedding anniversary
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.

Camp visiting weekend
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.
