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!

SNOWMOBILERS: Garage parking access for parking 6-7 sleds! Easy access to trails, less than 1 mile away.

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.

Highly recommend
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!

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!
