Favorite family vacation to-date! We have spent the last 20+ years renting a cabin for a week every summer in the Minong/Hayward/Winter area and the week we spent here in 2021 was our best to-date! There are plenty of activities to occupy hands and minds of all ages - swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, paddle boating, biking, atv trails, walking trails, etc. The nature was incredible! We saw bear (not on the property but meandering down a side road), countless deer (on the property drinking from the lake), a painted turtle laying her eggs (on the property), Blue Heron, frogs, an eagle swooping down to catch fish out of the lake, rabbits, squirrels, countless birds, etc. Fishing was fantastic - we had catches every day (northern, large mouth, crappies, etc.).
The dragonfly population is very healthy and this is a major positive point for anyone who is outdoorsy and familiar with vacationing in the WI/MN area during the summer....because there were no mosquitoes!!
The cabin is cozy, inviting, clean and has everything you could think of needing during a week away from home. We will definitely be back next year.
