Summary:

The Blue Cottage



The Space:

Character and convenience combine at this darling Minocqua cottage, ideally situated on 'the island,' and right on the shores of Minocqua Lake on the Minocqua chain of lakes. You'll be within walking distance of all downtown’s shops, restaurants, and attractions, so it's easy to spend summer mornings grabbing coffee on Main Street and the afternoon exploring the water on your boat, which you can park at the shared dock. Go hiking on the nearby Bearskin Trail, play a round of golf, or just explore the charming downtown. Wintertime visitors will love the easy access to Minocqua Winter Park, 14 miles away, and Camp 10 Ski Area, around 33 miles away. At home, say hi to the neighbors from the friendly front porch, or relax with a book in the fully enclosed sunroom. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and lots of room to gather with loved ones. The well-equipped kitchen features a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a dual oven and wine fridge, and plenty of counter space for prep. Grab a bite at the window-front dining table, then pop the dishes in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. When you get home, let the AC splits cool everyone down if it’s warm outside, or snuggle up on the sofa while you watch a movie if it’s chilly. Hop onto the free WiFi to scroll social media while the washer/dryer downstairs takes care of any stray laundry, then fire up the gas grill in the back yard for an easy dinner. Call it an night in any of three serene bedrooms, with extra sleeping space in the basement. Your dreamy Northwoods getaway to Minocqua awaits - all that’s left to do is book.

    A few directions about the house would have been helpful, along with information about the surrounding area. The basement was musty, so a dehumidifier might have helped.

    Wonderful location. We walked for a coffee and fished off the dock.

    Amazing location right across the street from the lake and literally so close to anything downtown (5 minute walk). We had a group of 7 women staying together and especially enjoyed the front porches and watching the MinAQUA Bats from our dock. The music and activity at the Thirsty Whale wasn't an issue at all.

    Location was great. Walked across street to view the Ski show and Thirsty Whale perfect for lunch or a cool drink. Beach close by for the 2 kids and shopping an easy walk . Nice back yard to play or grill. Front porch an added bonus for our family.

    Perfect for access to downtown, the lake, and the trail. Can get a little loud at night being right across from the Thirsty Whale, but we knew to expect that. Would absolutely stay here again.
