378 ft of lake frontage with extra wide log dock.
3,125 sq. ft. of quaint cottage space.
Occupancy= 8 Guests.
4 King Beds.

AROUND THE CORNER-FALL 2025: This season is certainly beautiful in the Northwoods! During the low-season after October 6th, we can make appropriate discounts for groups under 8 persons. Make sure to send an 'no obligation' inquiry if you have any questions.
PLAN AHEAD -WINTER 2026: Farmer's Almanac is predicting lots of snow for 2026! Remember over the years, our area has had a 65-inch annual average snowfall!
If you are a snowmobiler, then gear up, hop on your sled, and take off in any direction from J&Jâs Place. We have DIRECT snowmobile access from the Lake Katherine public landing, crossing Highway 51 to the Bearskin Trail. Since we are located on Lake Katherine, you have DIRECT access to the Lake Trail System. BOTH of these routes immediately provide direct access to a significant number of Lakeland area snowmobiling experiences. You will find routes that traverse a magnificent natural environment through 1,300 frozen glacial lakes and 233,000 acres of public forest land. The dedication of our area snowmobile clubs and volunteers, has resulted in an extensive network of more than 1700 miles of professionally groomed trails in the Minocqua-Lakeland area. Combined with our 65-inch annual average snowfall, our snowmobilers can experience some of the Midwest's best snowmobiling! The Lakeland area features excellent trail-side âpit stopsâ as well.
AND...we are very close to the wonderful Minocqua Winter Park, with loads of nordic trails and a very popular sledding hill. We personally think the sledding hill is a blast, and have visited many times. Minocqua Winter Park was recently voted #1 for the Best Cross Country Ski Resort in USA Today!
PLAN FURTHER AHEAD-SUMMER 2026:
We will establish our family calendar by the end of September 2025 and then will release those dates on our VRBO calendar.
Our Perfect Location:
J&J's Place is located only 5 minutes from bustling downtown Minocqua! Minocqua has a quaint downtown area with typical tourist shops, and it also has a super Wal-Mart just in case you forgot something important at home. You will find many excellent restaurants, coffee shops, and specialty grocery stores. If you bring your bikes, you can pedal to Minocqua on the Bearskin Trail, (which is also used in winter as a snowmobile trail). Catch a classic snowshoe baseball game in Lake Tomahawk! For other fun, visit:
Wildwood Wildlife Park Zoo & Safari,
Settlers Mill Adventure Golf and Go-Kart Track,
Northwoods Zip Line Adventure Tours,
You can enjoy the peacefulness of the Northwoods at J&J's Place, while having the conveniences of being close to the town of Minocqua.
Our Basics Timeframes:
No Weekend Check In--We will not be able to accommodate a weekend (Saturday/Sunday) turnover, due to the limited availability of cleaning personnel in the Lakeland area, so please plan for a weekday turnover.
Check-in time: 4:00 PM
Check-out time: 11:00 AM
Quiet nighttime hours are from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM
Our Comfortable and Quaint Cottage:
J&J's Place has been owned by the family since 1951. We named the cottage to honor our parents, Jack and June, who lived here as summer residents and then as retirees. As you can see from our drone photos, the cottage is nestled among 6 acres of tall pines and massive oaks for that great Northwoodsâ peace and quiet. The cottage is steps from the clear waters of Lake Katherine, with beautiful sand substrate & pristine shoreline. Our property's shoreline features a gradual sandy slope, perfect for little children. Lake Katherine (524 acres, max depth 30 ft) is a fishing paradise of Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, and Smallmouth Bass. Jack, was truly a Jack-of-all-trades, and created many of the quaint details at the cottage, such as the scalloped trim and pine tree styled balusters. The cottage features pine paneling and decorative collections from June, a life-long Minocqua resident. Original historical photos from the Island City are featured throughout.
Our Northwoods Atmosphere:
We believe that the best cottage features are the things that bring you closer to nature. A large porch includes a great dining area for guests and a sitting area, which is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. Then when the day ends, relax with your evening cocktail and take in the panoramic view of beautiful Lake Katherine on our beautiful deck, featuring sturdy rod iron furniture and gas grill. In the summer, you will see the eagles fly and hear the loons call literally every day. We are next-door-neighbors to a portion of The Yawkey Forest Preserve. The entire preserve (consisting of 400 acres & 4.4 miles of Lake Katherine shoreline) was donated by the decedents of Cyrus Yawkey to the Northwoods Land Trust in 2018 and has allowed Lake Katherine to remain one of the most undeveloped and naturally beautiful lakes in the state.
Our Toys at the Lakefront:
The cottage is 75 feet from the shores of Lake Katherine. Enjoy your time at the lake with any of our lake toys including: 1 kayak, 2 aluminum canoes, pedal boat, and 10' fishing boat (no motor). Or bring/rent a boat and tie up to our wide and sturdy log dock with sitting bench. If you are bringing your own boat, GREAT! We are only 1/2 mile away from the Lake Katherine public access. We have a small area between the trees to carefully park your trailer. The slope to the lake is very manageable and a split rail fence will guide your way.
Our Essential Internet:
We currently have STARLINK for our internet service! Connect to HBOMax, Netflix, PrimeVideo, Pluto, iHeartRadio, or Crackle on our Smart Living Room TV and in our Diva Den movie room.
Our Amenities:
Yes, we have Air-Conditioning at J&J's Place! We also have all the conveniences of home as follows: Maytag refrigerator, Maytag washer/dryer, Bosch dishwasher, Amana electric oven with gas burners, and GE large microwave. The kitchen has been renovated with granite countertops and a composite sink. The rental includes everything (and more) you need in the kitchen: dishware, utensils, pots, pans, serving dishes and other small appliances, coffee maker, toaster, Kitchen Aid mixer, Cuisinart. You can create great food memories on your vacation with the propane grill or fire pit (& firewood) for burgers, brats, and sâmores! All linens and bath towels for 8 persons are included with your stay (but please bring your beach towels).
Our Extras (Worth Mentioning):
You will find plenty of comfortable couches in our living area, along with rainy day activities including: movies (DVDâs), books, puzzles, games for all ages! J&Jâs Place also features a âDiva Denâ video theatre with 64â screen. It is also a SMART device and you can log in to your own account. OR choose from literally hundreds of DVD's for a classic movie night. In the garage: extra storage, coolers for use at the lake, and a second side-by-side refrigerator/freezer provided for bait/beer/ice.
Our Cleaning Protocol:
High-touch surfaces are cleaned with disinfectant (like countertops, light switches, handles, and faucets). We have the ability to do both check in and check out without person-to-person contact if that is preferred by the Guest. Keyless entry and codes are provided by VRBO three days before check-in.
Our Contract:
We do have a contract required when booking J&J's Place. Because this is our family home, we need to have the assurance provided by a signed document. A sample contract (missing personal information) is included on this VRBO platform. A formal contract will be properly presented after you have booked at J&J's Place. If you are renting the house for your family and you are not staying at J&Jâs Place (perhaps you have a home/cottage in the Lakeland area), we will need a responsible party who is staying âon-siteâ who will also be part of any communication and contract signing. You will need to provide this information at the time of booking. We will need full contact informationâincluding email and phone-- for this individual. Thanks for understanding; it is the world today!

Tietoa majoittajasta
Majoittaja: Lisa Tadych
This is a photo of Jack & June at the cottage during 2020. We are Carl & Lisa, son and daughter, to Jack and June. We named the cottage J&J's Place in their honor. The original owners of the property were our grandparents, Ray and Adeline, who purchased the property in 1951. Our family has spent thousands of hours on the lake and surrounding area as both year 'round residents and summer residents. Yes, of course, we love winter too!
Miksi majoittaja valitsi tÀmÀn majoituspaikan
Lake Katherine is literally pristine. It does not (yet) have any invasive species. Our shoreline is firm sand, with a gentle slope. Our lake area is wonderful and we have left it, in its natural state. Many of our Lake Katherine families are generational owners and we have all tried to preserve that Northwood's charm as you paddle on the lake....you want to see nature, not manicured lawns.
We are literally next-door-neighbors to part of The Yawkey Forest Preserve. The preserve consists of 400 acres & 4.4 miles of Lake Katherine shoreline. It was donated by the decedents of Cyrus Yawkey to the Northwoods Land Trust in 2018. This has allowed Lake Katherine to remain one of the most undeveloped and naturally beautiful lakes in the state. You will see many kayaks and canoes out on the water, with people enjoying access to this preserve area.

MikÀ tekee tÀstÀ majoituspaikasta ainutlaatuisen
We have chosen to make our cottage reflect our family's heritage, and hope that our guests enjoy the way we have kept our treasures from the past.
We have a Northwoods bottle collection in the Kitchen/Utility Room area. The bottles were actually "found" by all members of the family. In the 60's and 70's we actually took hikes to find various roadside ditches off of abandoned roads, where vacationers would literally dump their garbage in the 20's and 30's. You will get an idea of how many dumps there were by the collections that we have displayed.
Our mother, June, grew up in Minocqua and her step father was Earl Kennedy. The Kennedy family lived on the Island of Minocqua, directly across from the present library. Earl was one of the great Minocqua fishing guides in the 20's and actually paid for Law School at Marquette with the money he earned guiding. He spent lots of time taking us (his grandchildren) fishing. Of course, we treasured our time with him, so as a gift to us, he worked with some Native American friends to build a "fish crib", that is located to the right side of our dock. It remains there and is a great spot for catching fish! Many of the photos and prints that we have displayed throughout the cottage are from Earl's original collection.
There are many original paintings in the cottage, by Reg Trevisan, a dear friend of Jack and June's. We also have many prints and carvings from various local artists who have captured the spirit of Northwood's wildlife. Of course we love the Packers and Badgers and our lower level features some memorabilia from our beloved Wisconsin teams.
