Meet The Host
Melissa
Owner
We are a family of 5 with 2 red labs. We came across this Northwoods area in 2018 on a camping trip to the UP and instantly fell in love!! We have been coming back ever since, each time exploring more of the surrounding areas and more restaurants, we have not found an eatery or location yet that we do not throughly enjoy! We equally enjoy summer & winter! We describe the Minocqua area to our friends as a 'laid back summer & winter spot that is full of fun surprises at every turn'. We hope you fall instantly in love just as we did!

1. Please keep dogs off the furniture and beds.
2. In addition, if you leave to go out and do not take your dogs with please make sure they are in kennels( guest provided).
3. Do not leave dogs outside unattended.
4. Clean up dog poop, we have extra plastic sacs under the sink if needed. Please ensure bags are complete tied closed and thrown directly in outside garbage can.
5. Lastly, wipe dog feet upon entering using your own rags or the rags provided. Our yard is very sandy.
