OUR STORY
What started as a weekend escape turned into a lifelong love affair with the Northwoods.
After years of visiting the Minocqua area and falling in love with its peaceful lakes, towering pines, and slower pace of life, we decided it was time to make it more than just a getaway. We packed up, made the move to Woodruff, and began our next adventure together.
When we came across this quiet five-unit apartment building tucked just outside of Minocqua, we saw more than just walls and windows—we saw potential. We poured our hearts into renovating each space to create cozy, welcoming rentals that reflect the natural charm of the area while offering the comfort of home.
Now, we’re excited to share this slice of Northwoods life with you. Whether you're here to fish, hike, snowmobile, or simply slow down and breathe in the fresh pine air, we hope you find rest, joy, and connection during your stay.
Welcome to your home up north.

What Our Guests Say About Us
“Perfect Northwoods Getaway!”
We absolutely loved our stay at The Escape at Brandy Lake! The unit was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. It was the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern comfort. We spent our days exploring Minocqua and our evenings relaxing on the porch. We can’t wait to come back next summer!
— Megan R. from Madison, WI
“Peaceful, Clean, and Close to Everything”
We booked a long weekend here and were blown away by how peaceful the area is. The apartment was beautifully renovated and felt like home. The location made it easy to get to all the lakes and trails nearby, and we loved being just a few minutes from downtown Minocqua. Highly recommend!
— James & Nicole B., Minneapolis, MN
“A Hidden Gem in the Northwoods”
This place was such a great find! You can tell the owners put so much love into the space — from the decor to the comfy bedding. We came up for fall colors and the views were unreal. It’s quiet, relaxing, and the perfect spot to recharge. Already planning our next stay.
