Minong, Wisconsin
Relax in the Northwoods at our Lake Front View Cottage. Amazing bald eagle watching up close and personal.
Our two story lake home is on Lake Nancy which is a 772 acre lake located in Minong, Wisconsin. It's known for it's clean water for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, and outstanding fishing such as largemouth bass, rock bass, walleye, musky, northern pike,crappie, blue gill & more. If you catch a nice fish and want it mounted, we have a taxidermist that we recommend in our welcome guide book so you can catch and release yet cherish the memories by having it mounted. He does replica mounts so all you have to do is take the picture and measure fish length and width. We have a pier for your convenience for access to the water for boating, swimming, & fishing. The pier is extended with a bench for easy access to our pontoon boat all ready to cruise, our pier accommodates the fisherman too. Walk out onto the amazing deck that wraps around the house, giving a spectacular view of the lake and it's breathtaking scenery.
Whether you are bird watching, taking in the scenery, or just want to sit and relax, this is your destination, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the deck or out on the dock. The star constellation is pretty amazing too and very clear as you can see the Milky Way. Enjoy a small campfire making hot dogs, roasting marshmallows, or making smores, to relax in the evening hours. We've experienced the northern lights first hand and it's unbelievable. Use the pathway to get to the lake, we installed more stairs for easier access for kids and the elderly. The pathway is lit up at night making it easy to make your way to the campfire or for the catfish enthusiast fishing off the pier.
Enjoy the amazing wildlife surrounding you such as the Bald Eagles soaring the sky, going down for a fish or you may just catch them perched on a branch in the pine tree. Hear the Common Loons making their beautiful undeniable call during the day or at night, Whip-poor-wills delighting your ears with soothing melodies in the evening, & the Pileated Woodpeckers flying about along with many other beautiful birds. There are two Public boat landings, one is a block away and the other one located in deep lake few minutes away. There's a public sand bar also just few minutes away to wade in the water, play games or just float, fun for ALL!
Our downstairs is fully finished with log cabin look, a bar, table & chairs for games or cards, comfortable couches to relax reading your favorite book to make your stay unforgettable. The downstairs has a door to walk out onto the lake front patio. Driveway is plowed during the winter season.

Our group stayed for another deer season. Beautiful home in the north woods of Wisconsin on Nancy Lake. Already booked to return next year - can't wait!!
The view of the lake from this home was spectacular. Getting down tobdock was tricky, but this was listed before our stay. Everything was clean and room spacious. Our 1 gripe was when we played bags on lower level we had to clean up dog crap. We have dogs and cleaned up after them everytime and walked property before we left. Its great we could bring our pets, but its issues like this that make it bad for the next person. We also found clothing in the recliner from a previous guest stay. Hopefully your service will be able to return to precious visitors. We have told family/friends of this property and we would return at some point as well.
Awesome house, host has great communication.
This is a magnificent location, with all aspects very well maintained. We were impressed by the owners' responsiveness on the occasions we had questions. This is, in many ways, an ideal vacation site.
We love Shy Away Lodge! Great amenities, awesome location, great fishing, beautiful lake, fun for all! Beautiful cabin very spacious, clean, and feels like a home away from home. Could not ask for better hospitality from Brian and Evelyn, they are great to work with and we cannot wait to be back next year!
I love this spot! The house meets our needs perfectly for two families with small children and the lake cannot be beat. Thanks for another wonderful vacation and will be back again next year!
Loved the property and all the extra equipment available. Pontoon is so convenient and in great shape, too.
Very clean, tons of space, extra bathrooms The only thing I wish was different for our family is checkin an checkout is on a Saturday which is a free day for us that you lose, an most the fish we caught were small but that is probably on us haha we are not fisher people So if you don’t mind not having a Saturday it is a good place
We enjoyed our stay. The lake is beautiful. Wonderful fishing, peaceful setting.
Very nice place! The house was extremely clean and they had everything that you would need. The lake is nice and we were able to catch bass and bluegill from the pier. The owners are very nice and respond quickly if you have questions. If you need anything, Minong is close and easy to get to. We have been vacationing in the area for several years and really enjoyed this home/lake.
We had an amazing weekend! The house and lake were perfect. The fishing was incredible. Really enjoyed exploring the lake on the pontoon boat and kayaks. Our only regret was we didn’t book a whole week. Will definitely return for a longer stay next year!
Great stay with family and friends for the Birkie weekend! Gorgeous lake views from the house , very clean, convenient kitchen and sitting arrangements.
Absolutely beautiful northwoods country!! Brian & Evelyn are super nice to deal with (never personally met them, but feel like friends)! This was our second year staying at the property for deer season. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Booked for next year before we left. Steve Bol
This was our second trip to Nancy lake but our first time staying at this house. We really enjoyed our stay! It was so nice that we were able to bring our dog with us. The house was clean and very comfortable. We had a wonderful time hanging out enjoying the lake. We can’t wait to come back! Thanks for being so accommodating!
Our time was totally enjoyed while staying at the house. We did a lot of trails with the Utv. Did fishing from the dock late afternoon early evenings. The boys took the boat out once just across lake it was very nice to have that available. The kids took the kayaks out a couple times. Overall the house was amazing everything you might need was there. Very clean. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for the time of relaxation, and making family memories at your place.
Spacious family style north woods getaway, with fun for all ages. Well stocked kitchen, lovely at home feeling. The children enjoyed the lake, pedal boat, fishing and rides on the pontoon boat. We gathered around in ample comfortable furniture after active days in upstairs great room and downstairs for games and movies. Loved our stay and hosts Brian and Evelyn were available, friendly and kind. 5+ stars
Fabulous location and house. Furnishings are alittle dated and shabby but comfortable. Great hosts and great neighbors. We will rent it again as we love the location.
We love the area of Minong and this property that sits on a hill overlooking beautiful Lake Nancy! The house is very clean and open. Plenty of room for cooking and or grilling, relaxing on the deck, sitting on the dock, enjoying the hot tub, nature walks, and playing family games at night. We love Shy Away Lodge!
My family drove up from Kansas for a week of Northwoods lake fun. The cabin was beautiful and a perfect setting for our get together. We had kids of all ages, and between the pontoon, water mat, kayaks, and everything else the property offers, we never had anyone complaining that there was nothing to do. Lake Nancy is a beautiful setting, and the fishing was great! Brian and Evelyn were great hosts, and we can’t thank them enough for sharing their little slice of heaven with us. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Very clean and spacious. Very nice clear water in the lake with a great sandbar for kids to play.
We love staying at Shy Away Lodge!! Perfect for two families who want plenty of lake time and hanging out together in the evenings!
Had a great time. Very nice place. Great communication with owners. Very easy process.
The home is amazing and very accurate to the description. I am looking forward to another visit to Shy Away Lodge in the future. Thank you so much for the great week away. Ps: if you are looking for a great place to eat, check out Webb Lake Tavern.
Beautiful cabin on Lake Nancy! Cabin is extremely well kept, clean, great location, and Evelyn & Brian were very helpful through the entire process. Already planning our next trip back, can’t wait! Family memories that will last a life time!
The property and views were beautiful. Weather cooperated as well as the fish! Response to request for different bedding was done quickly and efficiently.
Nice Cabin. Downstairs was amazing and finished well. Upstairs was a little mismatched with dated furniture. Host was a great communicator. Great views. Great for your lake house in the woods experience. Thanks.
