Meet The Host

We are a family of 5 with 2 red labs. We came across this Northwoods area in 2018 on a camping trip to the UP and instantly fell in love!! We have been coming back ever since, each time exploring more of the surrounding areas and more restaurants, we have not found an eatery or location yet that we do not throughly enjoy! We equally enjoy summer & winter! We describe the Minocqua area to our friends as a 'laid back summer & winter spot that is full of fun surprises at every turn'. We hope you fall instantly in love just as we did!
