Private on Chain O’Lakes! Huge Kitchen, 2 Living Spaces, Large Cousins Room!
Welcome to our Bonding Time LLC property in Vilas County, only about 10 minutes to Minocqua and 10 minutes to Lake of the Torches Casino in Lac du Flambeau! Convenient to the highway, but set back enough that you wouldn't know it. Enjoy a beautiful Up North country road that leads you to the paved winding driveway. Privacy, nature, peace & quiet, and waves hitting the shore are what surrounds you as you walk the property. There are not many properties that compare with the privacy you'll enjoy here.
The home has too many great features to mention, but a few favorites are: living room and lodge fireplaces*, a bedroom "wing" of the house that allows for in house noise containment for night owls or early birds alike, 3.5 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms plus a large sleeping room in the walk-out lower level. The kitchen has a lake view from all cooking and dining areas! Enjoy the sunset from the kitchen table or sunrise from the bedrooms. In the evening take in the moonlit lake while sitting around a fire pit or having drinks on the deck. Inside is full of fun board games, movies, and a pool table. *Unable to burn wood indoors 2025 and 2026.
Often in the day you'll see eagles soaring over the property, and wild life is abundant. It's an easy day socializing on the deck, fishing or swimming off the long and wide dock, or hopping in your boat and being out all day (Fence lake is part of a chain of lakes) enjoying the water.
This is a great house for large groups who may want to celebrate a parents anniversary or all be together for a holiday celebration, a group of old friends getting together with their families, a church group or a women's scrapbook weekend, fishermen, hunters, snowmobilers, or a group of friends hitting the Casino! * We do not have garbage service, but the transfer station is only a few minutes away (small fee for trash - bring cash).
Please, no sidewalk chalk.
There is a boat rental company called Good Nuf that our guests have use numerous times with good experience. There are others to choose from, just internet search boat rentals in Minocqua, Lac du Flambeau, or Vilas County.
No matter what you do, you will certainly enjoy bonding time with family and friends at this lake home!
We do have some check-out rules for your stay, such as: remove used sheets from beds, wash/dry towels only, start dishwasher, clean the grill if you've used it. Please wipe out the oven and microwave after use ... basic clean up your messes! :) Do not leave food behind. Leave the garage in an orderly manner. Take your garbage with you or to the transfer station just minutes away.

Beautiful location on a large but very quiet lake. Gorgeous views, and plenty of room in the house to accommodate our large family, ranging in age from 2 to 66. The house was very nicely equipped, and the only issue we had was quickly resolved. Could not recommend this property more highly.
Wonderful, relaxing, fun week up north!Between lazy mornings on the deck, tubing, fishing, yard games, and bonfires, my extended family (3 generations now!) had a wonderful time making memories.The home is spacious and lovely and includes everything you need for a large gathering. The property owners are welcoming, very responsive, and provide lots of information about the property and surrounding area.This is our 2nd time at the property and we will definitely come visit again sometime!
Great place to experience a family vacation on a lake in northern Wisconsin. The hosts were very helpful with info before we arrived. Rented a pontoon boat which was a good deck to add to the week’s activities.
Love all Bonding Time properties but this one was perfect for our large group. Lots to do in the area and the connecting lakes are awesome. This was our 3 time here. Making plans for the next time already!
Great vacation home away from home. Has a nice view of the lake. And comfortably fit a group of 16 people. Lots of activities to do indoors and outdoors.

We are glad your group was happy with the set up for a large group and were able to enjoy all the house and views have to offer! Thanks!
We had a blast! It was a perfect house for our large family and so much to do. The layout was perfect for early risers and late stayer uppers! Can’t wait to come back!!

We are glad you enjoyed the spaciousness and unique layout of the house that accommodates the differences in sleep choices that is inevitable with a large group. We look forward to seeing you next year!
A perfect vacation house on Fence Lake for our family of 17 adults and children. The double-wide pier, fire pit, and deck somewhat elevated over the lake with clear views make for a wonderful outdoor experience. Newly remodeled bathrooms are a nice addition to the comfortable, spacious living quarters. We booked this property again, for the third consecutive year.
Wonderful week in the Wisc Northwoods! The house was perfect for a family vacation with 9 adults and 6 kids! The bunkroom was great for the kiddos! Although there was no sand beach, the lake was clean and clear and the kids enjoyed playing in the water every day!

So nice to hear your group was able to thoroughly enjoy the property and lake!
Bonding Time on Fence Lake was a great summer retreat for our family. The very well stocked kitchen and the abundance of room in the home meant there was something for everyone in our diverse group. The Bonds were super attentive to our needs. It is a great property with a gradual slope out into the water. It was a fun week and can't wait to go back.

Thanks for choosing our home to spend family bonding time, and we're happy to hear you want to return!
Located less than a stones throw off Corridor 17 you will have easy access to all the local trails and establishments. The house was very comfortable and roomy. After a long day of riding, sitting around the fireplace socializing capped off a perfect day. I would definitely stay here again. Our entire group of 18 had a great time! Thank you!
We always have such a good time with plenty to do. It’s nice to have all the extra toys and games to enjoy. The house is nice and roomy. The owners are the best to work with. This is our third year with one of their properties and we are trying another one next year.

So happy to have such a grateful family return year after year! Thanks!
It certainly is a secluded feeling there, compared to many lakes that are congested. So glad you enjoyed the home once again, and have made this an annual event. See you next year!
The house was lovely and comfortable for such a large group!
Kitchen is well stocked with cookware for big family groups
Gracious inside spaces for board/card games, pool, movie watching
The lake and chain was beautiful!
Quiet, clear, fun!
The pier was great for fishing!
And our rented pontoon died up nicely and safely to the pier.
My grandchildren pined for a beach area for playing in the sand as we had perfect weather.
We were all able to fit and stay comfortably...there was lots of room for our family - grandparents, their children, and their grandchildren. (total of 13) Lots of indoor activities available for days when it's too cold to be outside. Appreciated that they had a Christmas tree there, too. Very positive experience.

Thank you for choosing our lake home and we are so happy to hear your large group had plenty of room to spread out, and activities you enjoyed to keep you busy!
We had a wonderful week! Great house on a beautiful lake! We were a group of 13 and the house had plenty of room to spread out. Wonderful sitting areas and spacious kitchen. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed.
Dave and Diane were very thorough and easy to get in touch with from the minute we booked. Dave met us upon check in and showed us around which we appreciated.
We highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning!

We pride ourselves on good communication and is our pleasure to be readily available to our guests. It means ao
We stayed at the home for a week and loved it. The home well maintained. The owners care about your experience as well as their home. We especially appreciated how quiet the home was despite having a lot of people with us. Part of that is the nature of the layout of the home, as well as the quality of construction. The kitchen is excellent and well laid out, if not new. The views to the lake are spectacular.
Our group of 17 ranging from ages 4- grandpa all enjoyed the property. Peace and quiet and privacy. Bald eagles, chipmunks, frogs and fish just to name a few. The chain o lakes was awesome.
House was clean and stocked- had everything a group our size needed.
You will not regret staying at Bonding Time LLC.
Plenty of room for the 14 of us that stayed for the week, as well as additional family visiting various days. The house is very well stocked; I can't think of anything we needed that wasn't already there.
Favorite part was sunsets over the lake, followed by nightly bonfires. The lake is beautiful, and the surrounding area is very quiet.
The water nearest the dock is rock covered but they are smooth, and as soon as you walk out a bit it's mostly sandy. There's a nice selection of water shoes for your use but recommend bringing a pair if you have them.
Will definitely stay here again!
We’ve stayed on this chain of lakes a lot, and this was the perfect house for the amount of people we had! We surprised someone for their 40th birthday with some old Army buddies we haven’t seen in years! We definitely made new wonderful memories. The new dock was awesome with two boats in our party and great space to sit and enjoy the sunrise or sunset. If we have this amount of people again, I wouldn’t hesitate to rent it again!
We spent a long weekend at this property with a group of friends and family. Perfect for large groups. It is an excellent property that is well loved and cared for. Great views, spacious all across, well stocked, super clean and special attention to details and needs of the guests. The view of the lakes front the large deck is phenomenal. Lots of extras in the home for guests to enjoy. David and Diane, the owners of the property are a delight to work with. Their responsiveness and follow through says a lot about how much they care about this being a great experience for their guests. We would absolutely go back!!

About the host
Hosted by David and Diane Bond
Dave has been visiting the Minocqua area his whole life, enjoying his grandparents lake home. I joined him in exploring and loving this area over 30 years ago. Knowing how special family bonding time at a lake home is, we decided we would like the opportunity to share that experience with others!
Why they chose this property
We LOVE the location of this house! It is set back in the woods, so peaceful and tranquil ... yet such quick, easy access to Hwy 47! It's so convenient to travel a short distance to many of the surrounding areas that we also enjoy, such as Lake of the Torches Casino in Lac du Flambeau, Manitowish Waters, Minocqua, Woodruff, St Germain, Boulder Junction, and more!
