    The house is clean and comfortable, just a bit shabby like any good Northwoods cabin.A bit close to the highway, can hear traffic noise so not as secluded as we hoped.Access to lake is down a steep flight of stairs not shown in photos wish we'd known that as well it was inaccessible to anyone with limited mobility.

    Comfortable cabin on a lovely little lake. Perfect for the canoe our hosts provided. The property is close to town as well as to a myriad of hiking and biking trails. We loved our week there.

    Well-maintained, nicely-furnished and clean property that could benefit from some updating. Adrian was right on top of things with a minor problem and exhibited genuine concern for his guests. Only downsides are proximity to highway and long walk down to lake (if you are a senior or have a disability). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

    We just spent a week at Little Muskie Retreat. 4 adults and 3 small children. We had a fabulous time! The house was spotless and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the canoe, and the kids loved swimming and catching fish off the dock. Many bald eagle sightings! It’s very quiet, but close to many restaurants and activities. I highly recommend this place!

    Our family truly enjoyed our stay here! Quiet lake-even with 4th of July, not many people on it. We’re not fishermen but we could see lots of fish from dock. Wonderful time enjoying our own Lily Pad on the lake. Beautiful dock with bench at the end to just sit and relax. Canoe was available but we used our kayaks-nice paddle around lake. Beds were very comfortable. We used them all. Plenty of space indoors to enjoy game playing when it rained outside. Very close to Minocqua to enjoy festivities there, also. Many restaurants nearby, also. Only thing that may need improvement is WiFi wasn’t very fast, so streaming or working from this location probably not advisable. My hotspot worked fine for that though. Would definitely recommend for vacationing in this area!

    Great place to stay with the kids to snowmobile. Close to the trails. Just a short drive on the lake and across Hwy 51 and you are on the trails. The owner responded immediately to all our messages. House was clean and perfect for our family of 5. Added bonus to have the garage to keep our snowmobiles at night. House was bigger than the pics showed I thought which was a nice surprise. Will definitely stay here again and would love to come up in the summer!!

    We were in the area for snow biking. The property was as advertised and the hosts were exceptional to work with. The gas fire place is easy to operate and a great option to come home to in the evenings.

    We had a delightful stay at Little Muskie Retreat. The cabin had everything we needed and wanted. It was extremely well cared for and the love the owners had for it was very visible. It was chilly when we arrived and we were glad for the heat in the mornings. But later in the week, we were glad for the AC also. We fished off the dock and had an excellent time - at least I did because I was happy to catch dozens of bluegills on wax worms but my husband wasn't so lucky using flies. I kept telling him to add a worm to his flies. The views of the lake were the perfect setting for a relaxing week. Thank you for allowing us to use your Retreat.

    The house was exactly as listed and worked great for our family. The lake was perfect for the kids to swim and fish in. Canoe was a nice addition. If we could change anything, the traffic noise. It very close to Hwy 51.

    The location was perfect and the lake had plenty of fish to be caught. The boat launch was a bit on the steeper side but not an issue for us. Communication with the owner was excellent. Plenty of space for our family!
