Turtle Bay Minocqua
This cottage rental was great. Lots of room, comfortable furniture and beds, beautiful swimming area and space for enjoying the outdoors. The only drawback was there is no air conditioning and the weather was very warm and the pollen count was high.
Turtle Bay was absolutely amazing! The grounds of the house were beautiful and the house had just about everything needed for a wonderful stay. The dock was great to fish off and tie up our fishing boat. Plenty of sandy beach for the kids (and adults!) to play. Ned’s were comfortable, bathrooms were large and clean. Everything was in order when we arrived. Plenty of space in the kitchen and dining room for our group. Outdoor dining was great for meals and playing games. Screened in three season room was nice for the evenings. Location was great, walked to town every day. Absolutely would return! Nice lake breeze throughout the home (no a/c, but didn’t bother us).
