A beautiful charming home awaits you on Lake Katherine | House in Hazelhurst

Our comfortable and quaint cottage, called J&J's Place, has been owned by the family since 1951, and is nestled among tall pines and oaks for that great Northwoods' peace and quiet. You are sure to catch a view of eagles and you simply can't miss the call of the loons. The cottage is steps from the clear waters of Lake Katherine, with beautiful sand substrate & pristine shoreline. Lake Katherine (524 acres, max depth 30 ft) is a fishing paradise of Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass and Walleye. We are next-door-neighbors to a portion of The Yawkey Forest Preserve. The entire preserve (consisting of 400 acres & 4.4 miles of Lake Katherine shoreline) was donated by the decedents of Cyrus Yawkey to the Northwoods Land Trust in 2018 and has allowed Lake Katherine to remain one of the most undeveloped and naturally beautiful lakes in the state.

Launch your boat at the Lake Katherine Public Boat landing, or just across from there, access the Bearskin Trail (access 0.6 miles) for hiking and biking. The trail is an old railroad bed with a crushed granite base, used for hiking/biking in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter. In addition, within walking distance from the public boat landing are the Hazelhurst Town tennis courts, playground, and baseball field (0.4 miles). In addition, if you want a quick bite to eat—grab a burger at Whitman's Bar (within walking distance) and order a pizza at Hazelhurst Pub (0.6 miles away)!

Enjoy the peacefulness of the Northwoods while having the conveniences of being close to town, as our quiet cottage is located only 5 minutes from bustling downtown Minocqua! Minocqua (6 miles) has a quaint downtown area with typical tourist shops, and it also has a super Wal-Mart on Highway 70. You will find many excellent restaurants, coffee shops, and several specialty grocery stores. Catch a classic snowshoe baseball game in Lake Tomahawk or the favorite, a Lumberjack Show in Woodruff.
For snowmobiling: gear up, hop on your sled, and take off in any direction from J&J's Place. You will find routes that traverse a magnificent natural environment through 1,300 frozen glacial lakes and 233,000 acres of public forest land. The dedication of our area snowmobile clubs and volunteers, has resulted in an extensive network of more than 1700 miles of professionally groomed trails in the Minocqua-Lakeland area. Combined with our 65-inch annual average snowfall, our snowmobilers can experience some of the Midwest's best sledding! The Lakeland area features excellent trail-side “pit stops” as well. J&J's Place has direct access from the Lake Katherine public landing, then across the highway to the Bearskin Trail. This route immediately provides a direct access to a significant number of Lakeland area snowmobiling experiences.

Jack, was truly a Jack-of-all-trades, and created many of the quaint details at the cottage, such as the scalloped trim and pine tree styled balusters. Our cottage features pine paneling and collections from June, a life-long Minocqua resident. Original historical photos from the Island City are featured throughout.

We believe that the best cottage features are the things that bring you closer to nature. A large screened in porch includes a great dining area for guests and a sitting area, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. A large deck with sturdy rod iron furniture and propane fire-pit is the perfect way to relax with your evening cocktail and take in the panoramic view of beautiful Lake Katherine with family and friends!

Next to the primary bedroom, there is a full bathroom with two sinks and a walk-in shower. The second floor has a full bathroom with tub/shower. Lower level includes a 4th bedroom area with a queen sleeper couch and single sleeper couch with full bathroom & shower.
