Our family of 6 adults, 2 toddlers, and 3 dogs had a wonderful weeklong stay at Grandview Getaway! The house was clean, host was responsive, and the property was great. We went swimming, fishing (we brought boats), kayaking, and did plenty of relaxing. The property offered everything we needed. It’s also a short 20 minute drive to Minocqua. I would recommend this rental and we would stay here again. We stayed August 2024.
Our favorites:
- Quiet area with not direct road traffic
- Boat launch was .2 miles away
- Great yard and fire pit area with firewood provided
- On one of our cooler days, we drove to Wildwood Wildlife Park. Highly recommend for kiddos!
- Mudroom in the basement- great for dogs and wet kids!
- Full bathroom on every floor
- Hose onsite (for dog baths)
- We never saw one mosquito while there
A few notes for future guests:
-The stairs are extra wide, which is great aesthetically, but not great for standard baby gates if you have small children.
- A few people in our party got swimmers’ itch from the water. We read a review afterwards that someone had a similar experience. Just be cautious when the water is calm and if there is any algae. This did not impact the review of the property, just wanted to let others know.
- If staying in the basement bedrooms, they can get a little chilly. Portable heaters were provided, which was great, but if you get cold easily, pack warmer pajamas.
