Traveling with a group of our church youth to a student competition, we needed a place to spend the night. This house was EVERYTHING I dreamed it would be. With plenty of space, lots of activities to let the teens relax after a long road trip, and very nice layout! We loved it! Super comfortable and reasonably priced.
The snowmobile trails weren’t open, so this house on Curtis Lake helped us take those blues away on our family getaway. Spent most of the time cooking, watching the football games and playing a lot of the games that were there. A great family vacation and would definitely return.
The house was very well stocked with kitchen supplies, plenty of paper products including toilet paper, paper towels, and garbage bags. There were areas of the house that could have been cleaned better. The kids enjoyed the lake swimming, kayaking, and fishing. They were able to catch fish right from the dock. Location is secluded but yet close to many things to do.

Vacation on a small lake
House on the inside was nice enough,except for the many levels of stairs. Going up and down was hard on the knees for older people. Railings would be nice. Bathtub needs to be cleaned more thoroughly. Water filter on fridge needs to be changed. Outside the house could have been nicer if the entrance to the door would have been cleaned off with a leaf blower quickly. A good first impression is very important. Also, putting a railing by the steps to the lake would also have been nice. The property is close to the Wildwood Zoo and Minocqua. And Sheri's Pub and Grub was a nice place to wait until check in time. We had fun with the paddle boat, kayaks, pool table.
If certain things get addressed, the stay will be much better.
House description was accurate. Plenty of supplies provided in the kitchen and baths. Linens and pillows were plentiful. Outdoors was great; plenty of chairs, campfire almost every day/ night was fun although there wasn’t much firewood supplied, kayaks, paddle boat and water mat all provided hours of fun. Loved the fans in bedrooms and the extra fridge came in handy. Extra folding beds/mattresses were uncomfortable to some. No one slept in the top bunk bed as the bed was shaky and they didn’t feel safe. Lower level was damp so no one wanted to sleep there. We brought the extra beds upstairs. Their kitchen faucet/sink had a leak which we reported to Josh on the day before we left. He said it would be repaired. Very convenient location, close to grocery store, Sherie’s for pull tabs and a few beers, and Minocqua for shopping and running/walking on the trail that starts in town. We had a really fun and relaxing time. Bring mosquito repellent!
Our family spent a week here and had a wonderful time! The kitchen and great room were nice for eating and hanging out together. The large table was perfect for game nights and we watched several movies together. The pantry was large with enough dishes and for everyone. The Keurig coffee maker was a nice treat and they provided more than enough paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, Ziploc bags, shampoo, body wash, etc.
The owner was extremely responsive and sent a workman to fix some damaged window screens. This allowed the lake breeze to come in and we were very comfortable.
We were a mixed group from 11 to 74 and there was something for everyone to do. We used the paddle boat and lily pad every day except when it rained. The lake is lovely with no weeds, but I recommend bringing water shoes because the bottom is silty. We also enjoyed the pool table, kayaks, and fire pit. We got firewood at Tractor Supply next to the Walmart. They provided a charcoal grill with chimney that we used to make our holiday meal - bring charcoal.
The only downside is that you can hear traffic on Highway 70, but that is balanced by the fact that the lake is serene and you’re super close to everything! Shopping was convenient and we felt relaxed knowing we could quickly get whatever we needed.
The only thing we didn’t get a chance to use was the outdoor gazebo because it was cooler this week and it’s nice and shady in there. We will definitely consider this place for a future stay.

Peaceful retreat in need of attention
This family vacation is an annual Christmas gift and tradition to our girls and grandkids. We plan a different location to explore and rental property each time. The location is great, private lake is peaceful, fishing was good and fun! The kitchen was well-stocked, we were able to cook our meals and enjoy family time around the table. At the surface level, the lodge is clean.
For the first time, though, we were disappointed in our rental choice for the amount of money we invested in this gift to our family. The property has fallen into disrepair. The window in the child's bunk room is falling out, it was taped inside to keep the bugs out and could not be opened. It got very warm in there for the kids, even with the fan running. The living room windows couldn't be opened as the screens did not fit well and bugs could easily enter. The windows and screens were dirty, several need attention, perhaps replacement. The bunk bed is wired together, needs replacing. The top mattress is in bad shape. We found the lodge to be very musty and damp. The two small air conditioners are not able to dehumidify this property. The screened gazebo was quite dirty. It has only a crushed rock/dirt floor. The wrap around deck is narrow, needs some boards replaced and is in great need of cleaning, painting. The yard is unkept. There is no sandy beach, actually, no beach at all. The very little shore line was littered with logs, sticks, lost hooks and bait -- unsafe for little ones to play.
Easy water access in a beautiful location- close to the highway for quick trips to town and the grocery store. The house was very well stocked and appreciated all of the helpful labeling and cots to help configure sleeping as we needed. Our group enjoyed the kayaks and evening fires outside.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Not the cleanest and found less than desirable evidence of uncleanliness as our stay progressed. Location is beautiful on a small lake, but is right next to a highway. The uncleanliness and lack of upkeep was unfortunate, but overall still enjoyed the north woods and short driving distance to downtown.
The property’s location is excellent. Close to grocery stores, lake minocquoa, bear skin trail head. The kitchen has many items you may need and a spacious fridge/freezer. There is a pub you can boat to in lake Curtis but the lake does not allow for motorized boats (lake is quite small). Fun for young kids and playing around. The fire pit outside is nicely setup. The host was responsive when there were concerns.
We enjoyed our Minocqua stay! The lake is gorgeous and house holds up to all the pictures shown. Lots of little touches made our stay extra easy: coffee k-cups, tons of towels, extra roll away beds that can be placed in the closets of the bedrooms to help, plenty of fans to keep the bedrooms cooler. The kayaks were so fun to use out on the lake but the paddleboad's rudder wasn't working. Easy fishing from the dock was a great bonus too.
There was plenty of entertainment available right at the house, as we had one rainy day, so kids played pool, darts, air hockey and foosball. Televisions are large and new. There was plenty of bath towels, wash cloths, shower supplies. there was ample cleaning supplies in the kitchen. The view was perfect, only sad that all the boats weren't working.
We were in town for a youth baseball tournament and the location of the house was just a few minutes away, which worked out great for us! We loved everything about the house and all the things it had to offer during our stay! The property manager is also great to work with, very responsive!
Excellent weekend getaway for group of young adults! House was fully equipped with everything we could’ve needed and very cleanly. Spacious enough to spread out and enjoy one another’s company. Highly recommend and hope to be back,
We had a great time at Josh's place. He was super easy to communicate with and his house was amazing. We enjoyed family dinners on the big long kitchen table and loved having hang out time around the fire! Would definitely recommend this house for a nice family vacation!
Josh’s place was awesome! We came with a large group, including 4 kiddos under 5. Very family friendly, has just about everything you need. Josh was also very accommodating with the check in process. We would love to come back!
