About the host
Hosted by Melissa
We are a family of five with two red labs, and the Northwoods has been a special place for us since discovering the area on a camping trip in 2018. We instantly fell in love and have returned year after year, exploring more lakes, trails, and local restaurants each visit.
We enjoy both summer and winter here and often describe the Minocqua area to friends as a laid-back Northwoods destination full of fun surprises at every turn. Our goal as hosts is to share a comfortable, welcoming cabin where guests can slow down, unplug, and enjoy everything this area has to offer. We hope you enjoy the Kozy Cabin as much as we do.

Why they chose this property
This location truly offers the best of both worlds. The cabin sits right on the lake, yet it’s just minutes from Minocqua, making it easy to enjoy great restaurants, shopping, and activities whenever you want.
When you’re ready to slow things down, the lakefront setting provides a peaceful place to relax, unwind, and enjoy simple moments by the water. That balance of convenience and calm is what keeps us coming back.

What makes this property unique
One of the things we love most about the Kozy Cabin is the constant connection to the lake. You’ll enjoy beautiful water views from the living room, kitchen, primary bedroom, and deck.
Being one of the smaller cabins on Johnson Lake allows for wide, open views across the water, creating a cozy, peaceful feel while still offering everything you want in a true lakefront getaway.
