Cozy Year Round Lakefront Cabin- Family & Dog friendly- Private Dock

The "Kozy Cabin" is located on 75 ft of Lake Front on beautiful Johnson Lake in Arbor Vitae/Woodruff just 7 minutes from the heart of Minocqua. Best of both worlds- just minutes away from great restaurants and fun AND IT IS RIGHT ON THE LAKE. 20 minutes from Boulder Junction. 15 minutes from St. Germain.

This is our family cabin and is a great place to unplug and unwind and simply enjoy the serenity the Northwoods has to offer.

A gradual slope leads to private dock and mix of sand/rock frontage which is perfect for adults and for kids of all ages.

Johnson is a full rec lake so bring you water skis or your boat in the summer and don't forget to bring your fishing poles!

You'll also enjoy easy access to the snowmobile and ATV/UTV trail systems offering literally hundreds of miles of groomed trails throughout northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan. And be sure to visit some of the neighboring towns to discover fabulous restaurants and a wide variety of shopping options.

Very nice !!!

Very clean and very nice VRBO right on the lake. The hell down to the lake is not ideal. This place is very close to town and restaurants couldn't be a better place to have a getaway. If you're looking for a smaller place, it's amazing!

Excellent communication with the host family. They were able to accommodate our late request to bring our 2 fur babies (dog cost very affordable) and gave us recommendations for boat rentals. Johnson lake is a wonderful full rec lake that is smaller and wonderfully not busy! Perfect size for kayaking around, zipping the kids around on the tube, or swimming off the boat in the middle of the lake. We were able to catch a fair amount of fish off the dock and while on the boat. The house is small but perfect for a family of 4 (and 2 dogs) and packed with amenities like games, blankets, grill, fire pit, marshmallow sticks, etc. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of ceiling fans, floor fans, and a portable AC unit in the family room which my dogs adored! The only complaints I had was needing to drive the dogs to a walking trail or park since the house is located right off hwy 47, making it impossible to just take a walk directly from the cabin. Lastly they warned us of the sulphur smell/taste to the tap water, and it was prominent. Both of these “complaints” weren’t deal breakers for us and not a reflection of the host or our overall experience.

We had a great and relaxing weekend away from home. The property was very nice, clean and updated. Easy to get to and on a quiet lake. Very close to shopping, restaurants, and fun. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Would definitely go back.

Exceptional Lake home close to town

The cabin was perfect for our trip. Great fishing right in front of the cabin. Location was ideal, just a few minutes drive into town. Cabin was well stocked with all the essential. They had a minocqua monopoly game that we loved to play at the end of the night. Would highly recommend staying here!
