Spacious home

Spacious home well equipped for everything we needed for a winter stay. Kitchen was well stocked and had a dishwasher which was nice compared to some other homes we’ve stayed at in the same area. Beds were very comfortable. Loved the sauna and foosball!

Back Bay Cabins

Overall, our weekend up north was wonderful! Our group stayed at Back Bay Cabins for a bachelorette weekend. The only hiccup was that the check in time that I received through Vrbo was one hour before the actual check in, so I had to kill some time when I got to Minocqua. Mike, the owner, was very responsive to

Wonderful winter getaway!

Traveling with a toddler and infant is no easy feat, especially in the winter time, but with Michael’s amazing communication and impeccably clean and spacious cabin, it was the most perfect winter getaway we could have ever asked for. We arrived late evening and could hardly contain our excitement for the morning to see the lake outside the windows - and it did not disappoint. The views are breathtaking! The cabin was so spacious and had all the amenities we could have ever asked for. The sauna was an added bonus, a lovely end to a day of being outside at Winter Park. My toddler loved learning how to play foosball and tic-tac-toe! There was always something to do both inside and outside the cabin! Being so close to Winter Park allowed us to go back and forth several times a day! We absolutely plan to return one summer so we can enjoy all the summer activities and amenities Michael’s cabin has to offer! Thank you! A trip we will always remember. :)

The layout of the cabin is very nice and for the most part was very clean. The only downside we had was the volume of steps leading down to the lake; definitely not for the weak at heart. Would stay here again.

The cabin was exactly as pictured. Clean, ready to go. As a heads up, you do share the stairs down to the docks with the twin cabin that is next to you. Not a big deal for us at all. We were able to pull our boat up to the dock (launch is on Gunlock lake and you have a little, shallow, channel you'll need to go through to get to Shishebogama), which was super nice..

4 day stay at cottage

Kitchen with island and living room are open and spacious and plenty of room for everyone ! Bathtub off of master bedroom was slick and no handle bars to hang on for getting in and out of tub. Outside behind the open pit fireplace is steep down to the lake and has no steps and very slick when it rains or wet ! Enjoyed the stay very much and will come back to this place !!!

Another Fantastic Cross Country Ski Weekend

The house was perfect for two families of four on our annual ski trip. Minocqua Winter Park was an easy 10 minute drive. The house had communal space for everyone and separate spaces for the kids and grownups to have their own time. The sauna was great after long ski days and the foosball table got some use. We would happily stay here again.
