DOWNTOWN Elkhart Lake—Modern Cottage—Upper Condo

Lake Street Retreat is the UPPER unit in an original 1880's two family 'cottage' home. We own the entire property and are lucky enough to spend the majority of our summer in the lower unit. The upstairs received a modern makeover in the Spring of 2021. It is filled with a combination of local antiques and art to give it a "welcome home" feel. It also features skylights in the kitchen, bath and living area which create a unique tree house effect. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything from wine glasses to an ice cream scooper.

The bedrooms host 'heavenly' beds with the finest of linens to include memory foam beds, soft cotton sheets and down comforters not to mention stunning sitting chairs for that moment of peace at the end of the day. The spacious living room has western exposure onto Lake Street to watch all the action. It also has 2 large skylights which boast endless sun at all times of the day. The original 1X8 wood ceiling has been exposed to add to the cottage/chalet effect of the home. Here you will find spacious room for entertaining or sitting quietly and watching a movie on the flat screen. There is also a outside deck off the main bedroom. It makes a perfect spot for a family dinner or curling up with your favorite glass of wine after a long day at the beach.

The house sits equal distance from the lake and the village restaurants, shops and local market. It is less than a two minute walk due east to the village or due west to the beach. We are also adjacent to three popular lakefront resorts, minutes to world renowned golf courses, the Kettle Moraine National Forest, and popular fishing spots. *We are just miles from the Road America Race Track and 15 miles from the Kohler golf courses.

Fall Get Away
This place was cozy, cheerful and perfect for a fall get away. It had everything we needed to prepare our meals (minus the food) in a cute kitchen; great sheets on the bed, and good WiFi. The only negative was getting into and out of the unit which required use of a steep staircase-which we knew about in advance.

Welcomed respite
Being an avid traveler, this pandemic has put that to a screeching halt! Needing to get out of town for a few days, I was looking for a place that was quiet, had walkable restaurants and near/on the lake. This property fit the bill, to a “T”. The property was clean and comfortable, a variety of restaurants within a few minute walk and the beach was about a block away! Couldn’t have asked for a better end to the summer.

Perfect downtown treasure!
Can't say enough about this condo and the property owner. We had a wonderful stay and would certainly come back here. Clean, right in downtown to walk to everything, 5 minute drive to Road America, wonderful decor. SPACIOUS bathroom with tons of counter space to put your stuff out. Kitchen looked well stocked with pots, pans, glasses, etc, but we only used the fridge while there. Lovely yard. You won't be disappointed! Thanks Vicki!

Perfect in every way.
Space is clean, cozy, comfy and a relaxing retreat. Extremely comfortable beds and plenty of coffee and tea. Have stayed several times with our son and have loved every minute. Beautiful beach access and food a couple minutes walk away. Owners of this space and the downstairs property are wonderful people. Very, very easy to work with.
