Excellent location (close to Boathouse/Bosackis/Redman Realty's main location) - you are right next to downtown but because it is a one-way road, you don't get a lot of vehicle traffic, very quiet. Beautiful view of Lake Minocqua from front rooms and front patio - access to dock for easy pontoon/boat pick-ups. Very nice finished basement, plush carpet and excellent additional bathroom and shower with nice glass door. Love having full laundry side by side (not stackable set) and space to fold/organize. Beds are comfortable with new bedding. Very cool house, love the "catalog" history. Has updated HVAC/AC but kept the original vents from 1920s, just a nice touch. Already booked our week stay for next year - thank you!

This cottage was beautiful, comfortable, and the location ideal. From the porch we could watch the water ski show and on our last night a fantastic fireworks. Shops are all a short walk away, as is ice cream. Beds are all comfy. We had a great time!

For this area its the perfect location. This used to be my home town so it is right where I needed to be with my family. Close to everything. Dock was perfect for a rental at Ryden's at the Boat House. The only issues we had was the entry code but the near by Prop Mgr was able to help asap. If you do stay make sure you look at the layout. The master is upstairs with the master bath downstairs. The kitchen is a little small if you have a large family like mine. Also you do not have access to the garage. Two frig's are perfect, and beds are comfortable. Large dinning area for food and family games. Parking is ample. and the front deck is nice over look to Lake Minocqua. I would recomend this unit to anyone as a up north stay with all the features.

Walking distance for all downtown activities!

We stayed here for the weekend while our son had a nearby baseball tournament, and it couldn’t have worked out better. The property was very clean and updated, with modern fixtures and appliances. The finished basement was a nice bonus to cool off after long days in the sun.The house is a classic Sears & Roebuck “Maplewood” design, so the kitchen is on the smaller side, but that didn’t matter since we went out to eat most of the time. The dock was a highlight—deep enough to fit our 25’ wake boat comfortably. One of the best parts was being able to watch the summer ski jump show right from the yard or dock—definitely worth checking the schedule before your stay!Backing into the driveway with a trailer was a little tricky, but there’s convenient public parking just a block away. For an older home with tasteful upgrades, this was the perfect spot for our weekend getaway.

We had a very pleasant stay. We had a few hiccups with appliances, but it was quickly rectified. The place is so cute and decorated very nice. Location is everything and this rental is located just off the main street with in walking distance to restaurants and shopping. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely stay again.

Cozy, quiet, perfect location

We adored our stay at the Catalog Cottage. What a treasure! The view is amazing, and it’s close to everything in town. Just a couple houses off the main drag, I was afraid it might be noisy. But this home has been upgraded to perfection. Very quiet. No boat noise either, to speak of. You can rent a pontoon boat directly across the street. The restaurant ( The Boathouse)there was our favorite, we ate there twice. Chilly day when we arrived, but there’s an electric fireplace in the entertainment center that warmed us up just right. We had perfect weather, the next three days. The ski show is very visible from the amazing front porch, and we enjoyed an antique boat show as well. Thank you, we loved it!
