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.

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

Northern Wisconsin at Little Spider Lake

Very good accommodations, waterfront and toys. Good fishing, nice firepit, open concept kitchen and deck nice, used screen porch every day. Kitchen well equipped, internet and streaming tv's all good. A critical aspect for us was having very good quality lake water and Little Spider Lake was excellent.

Great time in Minocqua

We stayed over labor day weekend with two families. We had 4 adults and 4 young children (4 yr old, 3 yr old and two children under 1). It was a great location on the lake and the house had enough space where both families could be together but also have their own space. We also rented the boat which was a lot of fun. We would rent here again.

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.

Nice Place Great Hosts

Stayed for a long snowmobiling weekend with friends. Easy trail access and plenty of parking. House was spacious, clean, and well stocked with everything you need. Beds were extremely comfortable and had duvets for bedding - which is a personal choice but something I really appreciate. Hosts were very communicative throughout the stay and quickly responded when we had a question. House is also next door to Marty's - as good of a northern wisconsin supper club as you'll find. Thanks for having us - we will likely be back.

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.
