Minong, Wisconsin
Fantastic lakefront dog and family-friendly home on the 1600-acre Minong Flowage in Northwestern Wisconsin. Beautiful home with open floor plan, family room with vaulted ceiling and windows to the lake, stacked stone gas fireplace, large dining room table that seats 8, and plenty of room to relax. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils, Keurig and drip coffee maker, toaster, crock pot, blender, coffee pods/tea/hot chocolate, and spices. Three outdoor areas including a spacious deck, lower level patio, and large fire pit with gorgeous pavers. 263 feet of lakefront footage on a private, quiet, secluded bay.
This home is under new management so we had to start over with reviews, but it was previously a 5-star rental property with 80 reviews We are confident you will love it! We are a premier host with thousands of positive reviews across all of our amazing properties in the Northwoods.
The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2,220 sq foot living space. The main floor master bedroom has a king bed, and the lower-level walkout provides 2 additional bedrooms: one with a queen bed and one with 2 single beds. There are two bathrooms; one on the main level and one on the lower level. Please note that the main level bathroom has a soaking tub only; there is NOT a shower. The lower level has a walk-in shower. Both bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
You will be surrounded by towering pines for that "Up North" feel, enjoying the waterside view from the deck, lower patio, or fire pit. The home is steps from the water, where you can access the lake, water sports, fishing or just relax. We have 2 kayaks and a paddle boat for your use (including life jackets). There is a hammock in the backyard, Adirondack chairs, a fire pit with several chairs, and yard games.
Access miles of ATV trails nearby, hiking, golf courses, and multiple restaurant/bars. Enjoy canoeing, kayaking, or tubing on the Totagatic and Namekagon rivers. Winter activities include ice fishing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling on miles of groomed trails.
Please note: The elevation to the lake is a gentle slope. While not super steep, it may not be easily accessible to those with mobility issues, so we want to make people aware.
About the Minong Flowage:
The water in the Minong Flowage is from the Totagatic River and is clean, but the minerals from the River tint the water slightly brown. At its deepest point, the lake is 21 feet. It is a popular fishing lake, and common fish include walleye, northern pike, large mouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, and yellow perch.
We are on a bay, and the area off the dock is shallow but good for swimming for several feet (the bottom turns from sand to mud, so bring water shoes if you want to swim out farther!). The best months to swim are June and July (but there is still no guarantee of "green-free" water); in August, the bay gets green. so if you are hoping to spend a lot of time swimming off the dock, our home may not be the best fit for you. However, there is a nice public beach 4 miles away at Totogatic Park.
Seasons:
During the months of June, July and Aug, this home only accepts full week reservations from Saturday to Saturday. The rest of the year is a 3 night minimum.
A Note About Dogs:
We named our cabin the Lazy Dog Lodge for a reason: we LOVE dogs and we want our guests to enjoy their vacation with the whole family, including the furry members :-) We allow a max of 2 dogs and an additional fee upon prior approval That being said, please be mindful of whether our home is appropriate for your dog(s).
We may not be the vacation rental for you if your dog(s):
*Consider barking to be a favorite pastime;
*Chew things other than bones;
*Like to visit the neighbors unsupervised (we do not have a fenced-in yard), and/or;
*Use the house as a bathroom.
We provide dog beds, bowls, treats, tie-outs, poop bags, a gate, and crates (one large, up to 65 lbs, and one small, up to 25 lbs). We ask that your dogs be supervised when at the cabin and crated when you are not. Also, it should not need to be said (but unfortunately needs to be, as we have had guests leave enough surprises for us), but PLEASE pick up after your dogs!! It is NOT the responsibility of our cleaners.
A Note About Occupancy:
The maximum occupancy at the cabin is 6 people. There are NO exceptions to this. We limit the number of people for a reason: our systems (septic, hot water) cannot accommodate large numbers of people. Please note that if you have more than 6 people you will be charged $100 per extra person, per day OR you will be asked to leave without a refund for the remaining days. Unfortunately we have had multiple guests who have abused this rule and it has caused problems for our systems. If we have reason to suspect there are more than 6 people, our caretaker has the right to stop by and check in. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
This home is professionally managed by Manage Cabins, LLC in Hayward and we are available 24/7 via phone or text if you need anything. This listing may be new but we are premier hosts and take great care of our guests. We have hundreds of 5 star reviews across the different online booking portals.
The lakeside location was great. We were able to dock our boat at the public landing located approximately 1/2 mile north of the property. Figuring out the TV to view Packer game was a bit of a challenge.
We spent Thanksgiving with family at the Lazy Dog Lodge. It's a cozy home in the woods with a great lake view and had everything we needed to make a multi-course dinner and watch all the games by the fire. We recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place in the Northwoods to spend time with family & friends.
The property was perfect for our group. There were 6 of us UTV riding for the weekend. The house was very well kept. and very close to trails where we could ride from the cabin and not have to trailer anywhere. We were worried about trailer parking with each of us bringing our own vehicles and trailers but parking was great and fit all of us.
We are familiar with the area and did quite a bit of fishing. Unfortunately, the water was quite low so we were unable to kayak on the river system. The kayaking on the Flowage was excellent. The dock was a bit cockeyed and the bay the property is on, was very shallow so swimming from the property was not something we could do.
One of the best properties we have rented. Our family loved the stay and we will definitely going to be back.
This property is perfect for families with dogs looking for a quiet getaway. The house is located in a very quiet bay with no immediate neighbors. The dock is small and needed repairs so our large pontoon was hard to accommodate. House offers ideal privacy for a group and has a nice yard sloping down to the dock to enjoy activities outside. Nice Kayaks are included and the bay is ideal for kayaking.
Our goal was to relax, re-energize, kayak, fish & take photos. This property was perfect for all that.
The owners' attention to detail in this beautiful home stood out: pet beds, gas stove, well-appointed bathrooms (bath tub upstairs and shower downstairs), fireplace, comfortable furniture, fire pit, and many other amenities. The views from the dining room and living room were amazing. Will look forward to the next time.
My wife and I, along with our two small dogs, spent 3 nights at Lazy Dog Lodge. It was extremely relaxing. Everything was clean and worked as expected. This was a romantic getaway for Valentines Day. A few nights of solitude in beautiful location.
Great stay at the Lazy Dog. It is a beautiful cabin with great ammenities. We felt at home and enjoyed the north woods, fishing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, shopping, etc. Nothing to complain about!
We had a wonderful time at the property. We weren’t sure how close the trails were to the cabin but upon contacting the tourism center, they checked with the DNR and they told us to trailer into Minong. It was a beautiful stay at an extremely well kept lodge. Perfect for our group of 4.
We had family visiting for Thanksgiving. Lazy dog provide aclose place to stay.
The Lazy Dog Lodge was the perfect place for our family and dogs. We appreciated the dog friendly supplies and the very well stocked kitchen. Beds were comfy. Nice big deck and yard. We definitely would return!
Our three night stay at the Lazy Dog Lodge was fantastic! The house was very clean and the kitchen was fully stocked. The back yard and water access were excellent for yard games, canoe use and dog swims. The fire pit area was perfect! Adults, teens and dogs all loved it and we can't wait to book another get-away here next year!
The property was wonderful. Spacious and clean with many amenities.
Beautiful home and setting. We will be coming back again!!
Great location and set up to include your four legged family members. House very dog friendly! Great to not have a lot of steps and close neighbors. Definitely a top choice of ours for all future lake getaways!
Lazy Dog Lodge is a great cabin for a week at the lake. We had everything we needed for a relaxing week of boating and fishing. Thanks for sharing this wonderful home with us!
Very nice property
Loved it and will be staying again!!
We had a great time and a lot was due to the location of this home and how comfortable we were there.
Our family stayed at Lazy Dogs cabin during a family reunion. We we weren’t able to enjoy the lake due to May weather in MN but the cabin is definitely perfect for summertime activities. The cabin (house!) is nicely appointed and roomy and located in a quiet inner bay on the Minong Flowage.
