My family of 5 (boys 18, 20, 22) and my SIL and MIL loved the peace and quiet of the property. We had everything we could have wanted - rowboat, canoes and especially the kayaks and stand up paddle board - to explore Wind Pudding Lake. My sons loved the idea of walking on the floating bog structures, and paddling in the lilies. I didn't attempt a bog walk, but thoroughly enjoyed the serenity of cruising along in my kayak and just enjoying the birdsong and sunshine.
(One note: this is a muck bottom lake, and the area where you take the water craft in an out will steal your shoes if you aren't careful - bring a pair you don't like or go barefoot!)
The house was VERY well appointed - we had everything we needed to cook most of our meals on site, and enjoyed watching movies and shows on the Amazon Fire stick in the evenings when we weren't out enjoying a fire down by the water.
I'm not sure if the bog has some effect on it, but I have NEVER stayed on a lake in more than 35 visits to the Northwoods with less mosquitos!
We tried fishing in multiple locations (except the eastern lobe of the lake - the bogs appeared to have shifted and closed the passage) in the lobe of the lake where the house sits, but the best was just off the dock. We caught an abundance of blue gills and a few bass. Even the blue gills put up a good fight, and we were able to enjoy a fish dinner one night.
As remote as the house is (be aware the last part of the driveway is unpaved - take it nice and slow!), we were only minutes away from Minocqua for easy shopping, eating out and visiting some of the local attractions.
This was my 3rd VRBO rental in the Northwoods, and by far the best. If you need to get away, relax, do some paddling, catch a few fish and catch up with your family, this is the perfect place.
