About this property

Welcome to Pine Hill Resort

Pine Hill Resort is a lakefront property situated in the wooded surroundings of Minocqua, Wisconsin, offering a rustic yet comfortable setting that appeals to visitors seeking a quiet retreat close to nature. The resort provides cabin-style accommodations with clean, homey interiors and private docks, many with lake or bay views. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the access to hiking trails and a sandy beach area maintained free of weeds, enhancing the waterside experience.

Guests have highlighted a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere, noting the pet-friendly policy and well-kept grounds. Although the cabins keep a rustic charm, they offer essential amenities such as Wi-Fi and parking.

There are also several nearby hotels and resorts for travelers seeking alternative accommodations or additional options not far from the property.

The clear, sandy beach and fishing opportunities from private docks are commonly mentioned positive features, contributing to a welcoming environment that balances rustic charm with practical comforts.

Check-in begins at 3 PM, and guest feedback indicates that Pine Hill Resort suits those looking for a peaceful, nature-oriented getaway over more traditional resort amenities, making it a good choice for visitors prioritizing outdoor sightseeing and recreation.

This was our seventh year staying at Pinehill Resort and have absolutely loved every visit. The cabins are rustic enough to make you feel you're in the North woods and nice enough to make you comfortable. The property is beautiful including some nice hiking trails. The beach area is clear of weeds - a bonus for everyone. And you will never find a nicer property manager. John is the BEST! Thanks John for all your hard work.

I've been going here for more than a decade. It is easily the highlight of my year. The grounds are well kept, it's a great environment for the family (including your four legged members!), and John really does a great job keeping everything in order. This really is a great get-away.

This was an amazing family vacation. Used to come to Minocqua area as a kid and this might have been my best trip with my own kids. Cabins are a bit rustic but the whole property is great. Lots of pan fish. Hiking trail. Lake access is great. Everyone is friendly, very low key and north-woodsy. Hidden gem for sure.

Have been going here for years. Watch loons and eagles from your private dock. Excellent location. In the woods, but close to Super Wal*Mart and Trigs Grocery. Excellent fishing from the dock. All cabins have lake or bay views. Kayaks available for free use. Swim platforms, excellent sandy beach. Owner takes care of property. Great value considering location and available amenities.

My family and I vacationed for a week or two each summer at Pine Hill Resort ever since I was born. 20-some odd years later and I still look forward to coming up each year. The cabins are the perfect mix of rustic and homey. They are always very clean and insect-free. The private piers and boats are great, and the pet-friendly policy is excellent.

We had a great time. The building is warm and inviting. There was a great relish tray with melon, homemade cranberry chutney and homemade chips. This was our first visit but we'll be back.

My family and I stayed here recently and had a great time. Cabins were clean and comfortable. Some dishes were plentiful, others like spatulas, knives, and a can opener I'm glad we brought our own. We were glad there was a screen porch, the breeze felt good on the hot days! Fishing was overall good once I found where the fish were, best spot was actually 200 yards out from the cabins! Boat launch is a little shallow but I had no problems launching my 16.5 foot aluminum boat and there was plenty of parking available for the trailer while I was there. We'd definitely visit again!
