About this property

Little Muskie Retreat on Little Muskie Lake, Canoe included! Snowmobile!

  • Best of both worlds describes our Northwoods ranch home w/100' of sand frontage on Little Muskie Lake. Just 3-1/2 miles north of downtown Minocqua.

    Enjoy a memorable Northwoods vacation at The Little Muskie Retreat in Arbor Vitae. Our lake house offers a beautiful wooded setting above 79 acre Little Muskie Lake. There are about 30 steps down to the lake. A private boat launch is available just two piers away from our private pier. There is plenty of parking for you with the horse-shoe like driveway for your vehicles and boat trailer. Curl up with a book and get cozy by the gas fireplace during the cooler months, and stream your favorite movies and shows on the flat-screen TV using the complimentary WiFi. Savor a meal and the view on the wrap around deck!

    The game room has a fold out futon which is also used as a 4th bedroom. The kitchen features hickory cabinets, beautiful wood beamed ceiling in dining and open kitchen/dining with breakfast bar.

    Our cabin is close to shopping, petting zoo, dining, golf and hiking/biking trails with the peace and quiet of the Northwoods. We are less than one mile from a major trail head which you can snowmobile to right from the cabin!

Great location !

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!

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!

The cabin was beautiful and clean! It had everything we needed and more! The backyard area was where we spent most of our time and it was such a relaxing space! The lake view from the backyard was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We look forward to our next trip back, and would highly recommend staying at this cabin to anyone and everyone!

LIttle Muskie

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.

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.

Great Property, ok location

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.

Great family snowmobile weekend

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!!

Great choice 👌

Cute property with wonderful views all around to enjoy nature. Conveniently located near the highway made for a quick trip to town. I think this place has a good opportunity to only get better. The wifi was a little shotty & the primary bed was lumpy & squeaky. I didn't experience any real problems & would recommend staying here for anyone who wants some time to create memorable experiences not to be forgotten with a significant other or family/group.

Great Cabin and Lake. Poor Boat Launch

The house was perfect and everything we expected. Lake was a great size and we caught a bunch of good size pan fish. It was perfect for skiing and tubing. The boat launch was horrendous, which I realize is not the owners fault, however, we didn’t know it was this bad which was surprising to us when we went to launch our boat. Just want people to be aware of this. We were able to get our boat in and out but it was a struggle!

North Country Holiday

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.
