Beautiful and perfect for large group

Our group/family of 10 had a wonderful stay at this home. It was a perfect size and well furnished with everything we needed! Great location and really a lovely home! The owners were very easy to communicate with. Other than a couple hot and rainy days, it was a perfect getaway to end our summer!

Wonderful lake vacation

This was truly an amazing stay. We do yearly lake vacations in the Minocqua area and this cabin in particular was so welcoming and cozy. The beach was sandy with small rocks and clear water which was perfect for swimming and wading for the kids (11, 7, and 5). The house comfortably fit everyone (two families and two grandparents). Fishing was great, we caught pan fish, pike, and bass. Best of all was seeing a loon family and eagles right off the dock and some beautiful sunsets. We would consider ourselves lucky to come again in the future.

Fall Getaway

Beautiful house in a great setting. The sunset views from the living room were fantastic. The kitchen came with everything you could possibly need. It was nice that we had two separate sleeping areas so the younger family members could watch their shows and play their games.

Modern, Spacious,and Quiet

There were only 5 of us - all adults - but the house would accomodate MANY more comfortably. The screened porch and the deck were great for our dog. The wifi worked flawlessly and there were device charging devices throughout. Although there are other homes nearby and it's very close to US 51, it's very quiet. As advertised, sunsets over the lake are spectacular! All-in-all, a beatiful and well-appointed home.

Perfect for a family of 10-12!

What an amazing place! Our group of 9 had a blast! The house was very clean when we got there. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for all. A spacious house with a beautiful view! We had all of the comforts of home, as it was stocked with almost everything you would need to prepare food, etc. We highly recommend this property!! Melissa responded immediately with any questions. Great hostess!! Thank you!

House was very well supplied with everything you might need. Plenty of towels! Beds were comfortable. Lights were confusing. Lots of room to have your own space. The pontoon was used every day we could. Otters, loons, and eagles were very fun to watch daily. Fire tables were a great touch. The sewer did over flow into the front yard but we let them know and it was taken care of immediately. Drawers and cabinets in kitchen would be easier to use if they had handleds. Check out was very simple. It was a great stay overall.

Family Trip

The lake house was beautiful. Plenty of space for our group of 12 to spread out. Kitchen was decked out with everything you would need. The lake was just beautiful. We kayaked, brought a water trampoline and paddle board and enjoyed the water almost every day. The dock is huge and the sunsets were great! We were close to town so many trips in to town to try out restaurants and shops. Briq’s ice cream was a favorite spot. Even enjoyed the beautiful tennis courts of the high school in town! Melissa was great and easy to communicate with. Definitely would stay again.

Awesome Property

Melissa was an amazing host. The house is extremely well stocked with everything you need to enjoy your vacation. People on little spider lake were very friendly. Fishing off the dock for the little kids was great. So was the fishing for the adults on the lake. The dock was amazing to hang out on and watch the sunset and the Eagles fly over head. I would definitely rent this property again. 5 STARS

Well Equipped House for 10

We had 10 family members ranging from infant to grandparent. We were surprised at how easily the house held all of us. We could all sit together at the dinner table or in the great room. The bedrooms were spacious. The workroom turned out to be very handy. We appreciated being able to park in the garage. This is the best equipped kitchen we have encountered with copious plates, wine glasses, etc. It was very easy to be together and separate when we wanted. There are a couple items that need fixing, but that is generally to be expected.

Perfect Stay at the Perfect Place!

We loved Melissa & John's property on Little Spider Lake. It was meticulously clean, well furnished and stocked with everything we needed for our time together. We stayed with 6 adults and 2 children - ages 3 & 6. The kids LOVED the lego table and swing set! We enjoyed having a fire pit, swimming in the lake, fishing (and catching!) and enjoying the awesome pontoon boat. The lake has loons and bald eagles aplenty! The property is a quick 10-minute drive into Minocqua for everything you could possibly need (Kwik Trip, Walmart, activities, etc.). Communication with the hosts was exceptional and they made us feel incredibly at home in their home. We will be back again!

Nice home. Good accommodations. Worked well for our family. Disappointed with the condition of the home upon arrival. Lots of dog hair on furniture and the floor. Cleaned all floors and counters/tables and vacuumed the furniture before we step up for the week.

Another great family vacation at the lake!

We had a wonderful week on little spider with the extended family. The house works so well for our group with room for everyone. The weather was on and off this year but we loved it! Joined the 4th of July boat parade and was welcomed by other lake home owners and renters. So fun! Had beautiful evenings to enjoy the fire pit and make S”mores! Thanks for the awesome setting for our yearly family get together!

Spectacular

Beautiful home overlooking a beautiful lake…… The Home has every amenity one can ever think of, and the owners of this beautiful house cannot be more wonderful if you have any questions that may pop up. Extremely clean, wonderful location, and the view is simply out of this world! We rented the pontoon boat and saw a beautiful views. I Fish off the dock and caught some big size fish without even trying! You’re on the trails for snowmobiling, as well as ATV/UTV, which is simply amazing! I believe this is my sixth time being there, and will continue to go as long as it’s available. They must place to rent if you’re in the Minocqua/Woodruff area and you’re close to Minocqua with a five minute drive …….perfect perfect perfect location!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa DeVantier

Host profile image
This home has been in our family for more than 30 years, and is near and dear to our hearts! We are blessed to be the current caretakers, and are grateful for the opportunity to share it with other families that enjoy Wisconsin’s beautiful Northwoods!

Why they chose this property

This lakeside home has it all. The acreage and woods ensure privacy. The private dock offers you the ability to bring your own boat, or rent our spacious new pontoon boat! The lake is big enough for all the water sports and recreational fun you love, but small enough that you’re not overrun by other boats. The trail at the end of the driveway allows for even more off-water fun, and becomes a snowmobile trail in winter. It’s close enough to Minocqua to easily participate in all the town has to offer, but the space between the cabin and town ensures quiet nights and a starlit sky. The sunset are breathtaking, and can be appreciated on the dock, in the spacious family room, on the deck, or by the bonfire pit. The house is large enough to accommodate big family gatherings.
