Our Comfortable and Quaint Cottage:
J&J's Place has been owned by the family since 1951. We named the cottage to honor our parents, Jack and June, who lived here as summer residents and then as retirees. As you can see from our drone photos, the cottage is nestled among 6 acres of tall pines and massive oaks for that great Northwoods’ peace and quiet. The cottage is steps from the clear waters of Lake Katherine, with beautiful sand substrate & pristine shoreline. Our property's shoreline features a gradual sandy slope, perfect for little children. Lake Katherine (524 acres, max depth 30 ft) is a fishing paradise of Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass.. Jack, was truly a Jack-of-all-trades, and created many of the quaint details at the cottage, such as the scalloped trim and pine tree styled balusters. The cottage features pine paneling and decorative collections from June, a life-long Minocqua resident. Original historical photos from the Island City are featured throughout.
Our Northwoods Atmosphere:
We believe that the best cottage features are the things that bring you closer to nature. A large porch includes a great dining area for guests and a sitting area, which is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. Then when the day ends, relax with your evening cocktail and take in the panoramic view of beautiful Lake Katherine on our beautiful deck, featuring sturdy rod iron furniture and gas grill. In the summer, you will see the eagles fly and hear the loons call literally every day. We are next-door-neighbors to a portion of The Yawkey Forest Preserve. The entire preserve (consisting of 400 acres & 4.4 miles of Lake Katherine shoreline) was donated by the decedents of Cyrus Yawkey to the Northwoods Land Trust in 2018 and has allowed Lake Katherine to remain one of the most undeveloped and naturally beautiful lakes in the state.
Our Toys at the Lakefront:
The cottage is 75 feet from the shores of Lake Katherine. Enjoy your time at the lake with any of our lake toys including: 1 kayak, 2 aluminum canoes, pedal boat, and 10' fishing boat (no motor). Or bring/rent a boat and tie up to our wide and sturdy log dock with sitting bench. If you are bringing your own boat, GREAT! We are only 1/2 mile away from the Lake Katherine public access. We have a small area between the trees to carefully park your trailer. The slope to the lake is very manageable and a split rail fence will guide your way.
Our Essential Internet:
