Our family group (ages 10-72 and our dog) enjoyed our stay overall. We chose this house because it is close to bike trails, pet friendly, and on the lake. Positives:Great location! Close to the main road but quiet and feels very secluded. Clean and comfortable.Well stocked kitchen.Awesome deck and large private yard.Peddle boat was a hit with the kids! Negatives:Guests are not able to use the washer and dryer.The lake water is very clear, but weedy and full of lily pads. This would make it tough for anyone wanting to swim. We had unseasonably cool weather for August so it worked out that we did not need to swim off the dock. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed the stay very much. The kids had fun fishing, kayaking and watching the deer, eagles and other wildlife. Being close to the Minocqua zoo was a plus. Bad Bones and Era's were great dining choices.

Gorgeous lake house!

A beautiful home with everything you would need and more! The view from the deck was spectacular and we loved listening to the loons, watching eagles fly by and deer everywhere! This house is minutes away from everything! A great location!

Quiet lake but close to town

Wonderful stay at this quiet lake and friendly neighborhood that was close enough to town for activities. Fished, took a UTV ride, had a campfire, sat on the deck with coffee in the morning, took walks and enjoyed local shopping. All of our pets loved the large yard to run and shallow waters to play in.

Rare Family Get together

With a busy family of Working and college-age kids, this was the only 5-day stretch we all be at the same place at the same time. Skipping Stone did not disappoint. Peaceful and right on a beautiful lake it was just what we needed. Also, the proximity to Minocqua was so convenient. Thanks for such a clean and beautiful place.
