About this property

Driftwood Ranch located on Big Arbor Vitae Lake

Nestled on the shores of Big Arbor Vitae Lake, this meticulously renovated ranch home offers a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces. With two rentals on-site, the property provides ample room for larger gatherings. Boasting two piers, it's a haven for fishing enthusiasts, offering access to the renowned walleye, bass, musky, and pan fish of the lake. For those without a boat, nearby businesses offer convenient rentals.

The charm of Driftwood extends beyond its scenic location. Positioned on the expansive Big Arbor Vitae Lake, a paradise for anglers, the home ensures a cozy retreat with all the essentials. Whether you prefer casting a line off the pier or exploring the 1000+ acre lake by boat, the options are abundant. The property is surrounded by approximately 85% state-owned land, enhancing the natural serenity. For relaxation, the home provides a sun porch, perfect for unwinding with a good book or engaging in a game of Yahtzee.

Safety is a priority, with two cameras at the back of the property for the well-being of both owners and renters. Notably, there are no cameras within the rental spaces.

It's essential to be aware that in mid-October, the piers will be removed for the winter and will be reinstalled before Memorial Weekend unless a late lake thaw affects the schedule.

Fantastic House, Wonderful Hosts!

We had such a great trip to Arbor Vitae and loved the house! Everything was perfectly cleaned, comfortable and beautiful. The beds were fantastic and we slept so well. We loved playing games in the large yard, swimming off the pier in the beautiful lake and cooking in the spacious kitchen. Everything we needed was there. Our favorite part was watching gorgeous sunsets from the great screened-in porch - perfect endings to fun days. The house is a short drive to gas stations, restaurants, and downtown Minocqua, but located on a quiet street where we enjoyed peaceful nights. The hosts were wonderful and responded very quickly to any inquiries both before and during our stay, even sending us local boat rental info we were searching for. They are exactly the type of hosts you always hope to have! Highly recommend this house for a great family get away! We will be back for sure!

Great stays

We stayed at Kates properties and loved them. All the cabins were clean and had all the essentials PLUS more. The beds and bedding were so comfortable I took pictures of them so I can get my own! Kate was ALWAYS quick to reply to questions and requests! This host went above and beyond for our family stay!

Ice Fishing Trip February 2023

Kate and her family did a fabulous job with the remodel on this vrbo! The location was great as my brother in law also has a cabin on big arbor vitae lake, just in walking distance which helped. The stay was a hit with the family and had great views out the sunroom towards the lake. The house had everything we needed to make our stay a home away from home. I loved all the dressers in the bedrooms as we like to unpack rather than live out of suitcases while on vacation. Not all vrbo's have dressers so a major plus and the closet space was massive as well. All in all a great trip up north while the husbands ice fished. Thanks for a great stay and we would love to visit again. No complaints at all! Thank you for opening your house to us!
