The property was great. We were very impressed with how clean this property was. The fire pit by the shore was peaceful. There was not much privacy as the neighbors are really close.

Took our blues away!
We had a relaxing and comfortable stay in this charming, spotless and very well appointed lake house! The house literally had everything we needed and more and was very tastefully constructed and decorated. The peacefulness and views were splendid and the neighbors very welcoming. And a very quick, easy drive from Chicago, we definitely hope to return

Charmer with Lovely View
Nicely appointed "cottage feel" home with great decor and even better grounds. Love the hot tub/deck area. The fire pit by the water is a nice touch. The river/lake area to kayak on was just enough to go on a short adventure. The area surrounding house is just ok (road to house should be paved but is gravel). Otherwise would definitely recommend and we willl be back!

Overall this is an excellent property which pictures accurately reflect. However minor issues were-no ice in freezer/nor ice tray, coffee maker didn’t make coffee accurately neither 1/2 or full pot & no directions.

An excellent property
I was very impressed with this property. It was cozy and comfortable. Great kitchen and huge island for preparing and eating meals. The hot tub was an excellent touch. The fire pit had ample seating and was well-maintained. Only two minor observations - the water pressure in the shower wasn't great, and the owners could definitely stand to upgrade the grill. But neither of those things negatively impacted our stay. I highly recommend this property for a single family or a group of friends. I would definitely go back!

Gorgeous place! Highly recommend!
The place is stunning. Super clean and open. The owners are super nice and communicating with them was easy. It was so easy to settle in and feel right at home. The views are gorgeous any time of day. It is definitely a place I’d love to go back. This was a family trip but I’d also love to do a girls trip here. I can’t speak highly enough about this home or the owners.

Wonderful trip!
We had an absolute blast at this lake house and the surrounding areas. The house was gorgeous on the inside and outside. We were able to kayak, rent the owner’s pontoon boat for a day, and use the hot tub. The only thing we didn’t do on the property was use the fire pit, but that was only because it stormed just about every night we were there. The weather was gorgeous during the day though. We also loved exploring the surrounding areas as everything is less than 30 minutes away. That included going to North Beach in Racine (highly recommend), hiking at Bender Park (gorgeous!), renting a jet ski in Oak Creek, and getting carryout from local restaurants.

Relaxing and quiet getaway vacation spot.
Easy online rental process. Cozy cottage, just like the pictures. The cottage is isolated from the busy city life. Plenty to do with the family like fishing, boating and kayaking.
