The Alvig House on Green Lake – Lakefront.

Summary:
★ Relax by the Waterfront at The Alvig House on Green Lake ★
Enjoy the spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the lawn of The Alvig House on Green Lake. Room for up to 7 guests awaits in this lovingly restored private home vacation rental right on the shores of Green Lake.
This beautiful waterfront home offers a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle yet is just a
a short drive from boat launches, restaurants, and a golf course.

The Space:
★ The Accommodations at The Alvig House★

A quiet, tree-lined street leads to The Alvig House, a portent of things to come. As you approach,
you’ll see a path to the spacious open backyard, with a propane barbecue to grill your freshly
caught Walleye or Northern.

The front door opens to a light-filled, airy, open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen
with gleaming hardwood floors. Wall-to-wall windows facing the lake enhance the feeling of
openness and infuse the room with ever-shifting light as the day goes from sunrise to sunset.
As you cast your gaze to the beautiful outdoors, you might even see Bald Eagles soaring above
the lake by day, and hear the distinct sound of Loons flying in pairs to their nests.

The adjacent family room features plenty of relaxing seating and a 52-inch HD TV, and there are
games, books, and Legos for the little ones.

The kitchen is galley-style with new appliances and everything you need – dishes, glassware,
cookware, and flatware – to whip up some delicious meals.

The master bedroom, on the ground floor adjacent to the family room, has a queen-sized bed
plus a twin trundle bed that can be used for relaxing or sleeping. A seat beneath a large window
overlooks the lake. What a view! The downstairs bathroom also has plenty of natural light with a
shower and a large vanity.

Next, walk up the brightly lit stairway to a beautiful, spacious loft area. It includes a quiet
workspace, a full bed in a magical hideaway nook, a queen-sized bed, and a trundle bed. Watch
your favorite shows on a 43-inch HD TV. The loft area bathroom has a charming full bath and
shower area to wash off after a full day of playing on the lake.

Walking outside, you are greeted by a spacious green lawn with a panoramic uninterrupted view
of the lake. Relax in a lawn chair with a beverage as you breathe in the view.

There’s also a lovely landing on the rock shore with a firepit where you can roast marshmallows
during the spectacular Alvig House Green Lake sunsets.

Among the amenities offered by The Alvig House are a washer-dryer, a generous supply of
towels and bed linens, and dedicated parking for 3 vehicles, including your boat trailer.

Quiet Water Weekend
We spent Labor Day weekend here. It was absolutely perfect. So relaxing to sit and read by the lake, or to take a swim. The house has everything you could need and the hosts are so kind and amazing. It was just simply perfect. Wonderful area with access to trails not too far away, and we brought our kayaks and did open water swims in the lake <3

Right on the lake
Very clean, amazingly equipped, with spectacular views from windows. Great for families. Private dock. One suggestion- it would be nice to have steps from the dock to the water to make it more convenient to swim from the dock.
