Beautiful property with a great view. Its better than advertised. Owners have done a wonderful job. Very comfortable and the owners have thought of everything.
Big Pine is as perfect a North Woods experience you can have. Beautiful log cabin perfectly furnished with every convenience. Clearly written instructions how everything works (never seen better.) Squeaky clean and orderly from stem to stern. Perfectly located for shopping and dining in the quaint towns in this part of lake country. And then there is owner/host Pam. She is the very best. Responsive, helpful, caring. A total delight. Thank you!,
Our family had a wonderful week at big pine. Perfect accommodations and exactly as advertised.
All the comforts of home in a beautiful log cabin setting. Large lake with sandbars and endless eagles! Pier and frontage ideal for fishing and swimming. Pam was always available if we had any questions. The screen porch was our favorite spot each day!
The owners provided too notch customer service and the cabin was perfect. The lake location was also ideal for swimming and fishing. We fished all around the island right across from the cabin and caught crappie, bass, perch, rock bass, etc. There is also a rope swing on the island where the kids swam and played while we fished off the boat around the corner of the island. We will definitely be back!
We had a great week at Big Pine! The home and property is very well maintained and has all of the amenities you could possibly need. We especially loved listening to loons from the screened in porch as well as enjoying the lake from the dock chairs. Shishebogama Lake is great for fishing, boating, and loon & eagle watching. The location is excellent; close to Minocqua and surrounding areas, yet far enough to enjoy the Northwoods peace and quiet. Communication with the owners was first rate and Pam was very responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend this property!
We had a wonderful stay at Big Pine! Highly recommend for anybody wanting a relaxing vacation in the North Woods of Wisconsin.
If quaint and relaxing is what you are looking for, this is the place. There is enough space for everyone to either gather or do there own thing. Either way you can do as much or as little as you prefer. The screened in porch was where we spent most of our inside time. Communication was great. Amenities were spot on and there were no issues. There is about 8 feet of sandy shore line that allows easy access to get into the water to swim. This was very nice as not everyone on this side of the lake has such access. My son set a new personal record for his largest small mouth bass yet at 19 inches. So, he was very pleased!
This is a beautiful, well-appointed log home. Very comfortable, and lots of interesting features and attention to detail wherever you look. Shish lake is a great lake for fishing and boating. We rented a pontoon boat and had it delivered via the boat launch on adjoining Gunlock lake. Worked out great. We also made use of the row boat (I brought a trolling motor) for fishing, and my kids loved the canoe and kayaks. Nice to be so close to town as well - maybe 10 minutes away. we ran in quite often for dinner, drinks and shopping. Pam, the homeowner, was great - very communicative and super helpful. She spent 20 minutes on the phone with me giving tips on how to fish the lake. I'd definitely go back.
Great property! Very clean with plenty of room for our family vacation of 5. Great views of the lake and campfire area. Plenty of wildlife from bald eagles to otters. Even had a musky on right from the dock. The boat launch on gunlock lake was ok for a 20 ft pontoon but wouldn’t want to launch anything much bigger than that there. Also the channel was pretty small and shallow but got through ok. Great place to stay, and the lake was very nice. Clear water with good fishing catching blue gills, bass and perch.
