Good cabin
Check in progress was rough, there were two lock boxes on property (when I was only lef to believe there's one) and the lock box that was a actually connected to the cabin rented was not the lock box for the code given. The code given was for the lock box connected to the shed across from the main entrance to the cabin. This led to frustration while arriving, as I thought I was locked out of the cabin after a four hour drive north. The property manager got back to me about 3-4 hours after I tried to get a hold of them but by that point I had already found the proper lock box with the cabin key on the door to the shed. I must insist that the cabin owners provide more detailed instructions to help find the PROPER lock box as there are MULTIPLE on the property. I also must insist that the property manager be able to respond better on check in days. A 3 hour delay of response is unacceptable, even at 9pm

A Quiet Get Away
This property was clean and was as expected from the listing. The management company was easy to work with and provided an email with all the information prior to our trip. They responded within a couple when we had a question about the property. Would highly recommend this property as well as the management company Evolve.

Serene lakefront cabin an easy bike ride from Minocqua
This place could do with some updating, but it makes up for its somewhat funky and neglected appearance by being mere yards from a serene little lake with its own dock. The beds are comfortable (soft yet firm underneath), the shower is generous, and the kitchen is well equipped. We brought bikes for our stay and were delighted that we could ride them into Minocqua to do our grocery shopping as well as around the woodsy local neighborhood and to the Bearskin Trailhead. The location is unbeatable: you feel you are in the wilderness, yet you are just minutes from all the shopping and other amenities you might want. The cabin faces west over the lake, so sunsets can be enjoyed either from the yard or dock – or through the large picture window in the living room. We enjoyed the little screened-in cottage next door with its games and card table. Better lighting over the beds, bedside tables, and some updated electrics would be great improvements, but against that the big screen TV had Netflix and other streaming channels and the kitchen knives were top of the line. The price, given all these pluses, is very fair indeed.
