Kos Cottage With a hint of Norwegian flair and a quiet, lakefront location, the charming Kos Cottage offers visitors the best of the Northwoods year-round. In the warm months, relax in the hammock or explore Brandy Lake, or drop in your own boat at the public boat launch around a mile away and dock it at Kos’ private pier. Swim from shore with one of the floaties provided, or spend the day fishing for walleye, perch, muskie, northern, and panfish. Listen for the family of loons that hangs out near the pier; watch for eagles; or enjoy the deer that wander through the yard. Winters offer endless trails of snowshoeing, nearby snowmobile trails, and ice fishing. If you’re looking for an evening out or need to do a grocery run, you’re only two miles from downtown Minocqua, and not far from Boulder Junction, Eagle River, St. Germain, and Manitowish Waters. Inside the cozy cottage, you’ll find a space imbued with warmth. The full, spacious kitchen makes meal prep a breeze, and little helpers will love perching on the kitchen island barstools to help. Relax each evening with a board game, or pop in a DVD from the collection for a family movie night. Three comfortable bedrooms, plus a newly renovated bath, make the space feel like home. Keep dinner simple with a cookout on the gas grill, then end the night around the firepit, roasting marshmallows - with s’mores sticks provided - and enjoying the clear Northwoods sky.
