Cozy modern cottage. Lovely grounds. Private dock. Lake Shishebogama! | Cottage in Minocqua
1 Bedroom Cottage in Minocqua
This is the one and only guest cottage on our property, which we adore but are rarely able to visit. As such, it gives you access to a very private dock, a comfortably furnished screened gazebo, three kayaks, a lakeside fire pit, a smart TV and other toys we're happy to share.
Built in the '90s, the cottage is bright, cozy and modern. It's an open layout, with no interior walls except around the spacious bathroom. You'll have access to WI-FI, Roku, a gas fireplace, a microwave, a patio with outdoor seating, and all the normal amenities.
But by far the biggest selling point is the generous stretch of lakefront (166 ft.) you'll find here for your private enjoyment. Just sitting in one of the comfy chairs on the dock and watching the eagles, herons, loons, otters, ducks and other wildlife go by... It's hard to put into words how glorious this little corner of the world can be. The level frontage and sandy shoreline afford easy lakefront access to anyone who might have trouble with more than a step or two.
Our favorite spot is the screened gazebo we added in 2021, which provides a shady spot to read or snooze during the day and a bug-free outdoor space at night.
If boating is part of your plan, the dock can easily handle your fishing or pontoon boat. With 1,100 acres of water, the Shishebogama/Gunlock lake chain is great for fishing, cocktail-cruising, sailing and kayaking. (We like to kayak from our place to the Black Bear Bar.)
While the cottage is only about a third of a mile north of HWY 70 (and 6.5 miles west of downtown Minocqua), there is very little drive-by traffic on this horseshoe drive. It's a residential neighborhood with no other rental units that we know of. We have year-round residents living on both sides of us. So this is most definitely NOT a party place. It's important to us that our guests act like good neighbors and respect the rights of others.
PLEASE NOTE: The minimum stay during 2025 peak season (June 13 to September 5) is seven nights, usually running Friday to Friday. Before and after those dates, there is a three-night minimum stay.
If all this sounds appealing, we would love to have you stay at the Loon's Nest. We predict that if you do, you'll come back again and again.
