About this property

Family Friendly Lake Home with level lot & Large game Rm, Dog friendly!

This home is the first of our Bonding Time LLC vacation homes! We pride ourselves on this one as of the nicest spots on the lake, with 100 ft of hard sand, natural beach shoreline, and breathtaking sunset views! We have five star reviews and many families that reserve the same week year after year ... as a traveler, you know that's a good sign!

Irogami Lake is a secret treasure. It is right across from Silver Lake in Wautoma (Silver Lake is VERY busy). Irogami is a very clean lake, that although is shallow (maximum depth is about 8 feet), it is a full recreation lake perfect for skiing, tubing, wake boarding, fishing, etc.

Sorry, we do not allow parties. Minimum booking age is 25 years old.
Dogs possible at owners discretion and $125 fee. No pets other than dogs. Do not Instant Book if you have a dog, as there are additional rules that apply for dogs and you'll want to know if you're going to be agreeable to them before you commit.

Located on a very quiet dead-end road, this home is across from a natural wildlife area. If you're a bird-watcher, you will be in heaven! The easy drive off the highway (about 3 minutes) is the ideal entrance to your vacation. The long quiet road is perfect for walks and bike rides. We accommodate parking for up to 7 vehicles.

The shallow shore line is so great for children, as they can go out more than 50 feet and play without fear! It's perfect for all water sports, including volleyball! We supply all the toys! Canoe, paddle boards/kayaks, tubes, inflatables, row boat, sailboat, etc, all conveniently located in the boat house. Please bring your own life vests, sunscreen, and beach towels.

A wonderful fire pit is perfect for the sunset show and s’mores (*some fire wood & flame included!)

With the West facing exposure, you will have the most incredible sunsets on the lake! Irogami gives spectacular sunsets every night! There are NO STEPS to the water, and a paved walk leads right to the dock, making it especially nice for grandma and grandpa to join in on the vacation!

The home is perfect for your large group, sleeping 19 people in beds. We also have a sleeper sofa for two that equals our 21 person capacity. There’s a queen sized air mattress and two trundle mattresses that children could use to sleep on, if desired. This is a 4 bedroom PLUS loft home. The upstairs bedrooms have balconies, and the master has a walk out deck overlooking the lake for your morning cup of coffee and evening glass of wine. There are three large newly renovated full bathrooms.

Our huge kitchen has two refrigerators for your convenience! There is a new KitchenAid dishwasher, custom built island in the kitchen, and a dining table with 8 chairs. The folding table and folding chairs can be also be used for meals. We also have two picnic tables on the porch just outside of the dining room table.

The knotty pine cabin is exactly what you hope for during your vacation get away.
The great family area in the lower level will be an activity/game hub for your group. We have Foosball, air hockey, Skeeball, darts, Wii video games, and more in this area! Rainy days will not disappoint! For the sunny days, enjoy out door seating with large, ground level decking and a wonderful level yard on the lake side for gathering and lawn games (we provide water volleyball too).

High end furnishings, linens, and decor will make this a pleasure for your vacation. Over 3200 ft of space for your group! Main floor washer/dryer included.
Please wash & dry towels, start dishwasher, and lock all windows and doors before departure.
No-smoking in house and cigarette butts left behind will forfeit deposit.
*Please no sidewalk chalk.

After our years of renting for our own vacation, we believe we have created the ideal vacation home for you! As we also live on Lake Irogami, we offer service second-to-none. We aim to make your stay a five star experience!

We will typically be there to check you in and will provide the door pass code and WiFi password.

There is a insurance protection plan that will be added once you start your booking process. This will give both parties extra protection, and will cover up to $5,000 of accident coverage.

Memorable Stay!

Our family had such a memorable stay at Dave & Diane's beautiful home. Dave & Diane are gracious, communicative, and helpful. The helped us navigate a travel hiccup with understanding and generosity. The kids had a ton of fun in the basement and the adults enjoyed the wide open conversation space in the comfortable main living area. The touches are warm, inviting, and practical for large party. The home is surrounded by beauty in and out. Highly recommend!

Fantastic lakeside getaway

Fantastic place to stay for our group of 20! Plenty of space to hang out in the house as well as outside. Best part was all the lake toys available and we were able to use on the lake. The house is beautifully decorated and plentiful supplies or all – kitchen cookwear, bath, game room, beds, all. Communication with the host was so easy and very prompt and clear. Will come back!

Third Year at this Lake Home

This was our third annual stay at this property and we have already booked for summer 2025. The property is well cared for and fits our family. We have 6 adults and 5 kids (age range 7-12). Kids love the lake for swimming, tubing, and fishing. And of course the kids love the game room. We've rented the smaller pontoon each year which is nice to have readily available at the dock. Dave and Diane are wonderful hosts and easy to reach if necessary.

About the host

Hosted by David and Diane Bond

Host profile image
We spent years renting lake homes for our family vacations. In 2016, after looking at a lot of homes on lakes all over WI, we found Lake Irogami and fell in love. We purchased our own cottage, and shortly thereafter moved in full time because we love this lake so much!
Living on the same lake, we truly believing that we can provide the best experience for our guests. We enjoy meeting each family and helping them make memories and enjoy Bonding Time!

Why they chose this property

We really wanted a home on Lake Irogami for people to enjoy. We were so excited to find this home, which we purchased in May of 2018. We spent all of May and June remodeling the home to make the best experience for our guests. We believe this is one of the nicest homes to rent in the area, and with NO STEPS to the water, it is a great setting!

What makes this property unique

There is so much outdoor space, from the large ground level deck to the lakeside yard, 100 feet of sandy frontage and awesome sunsets. We tried to set up the home to be ideal for large groups. From our time as renters we knew having two fridges in the kitchen would be so nice. Solid surface counter tops, Kitchenaid dishwasher, garbage disposal, and lots of space make this kitchen the nicest one around. We intentionally avoided bunk beds. Other homes sleep as many people as our lake home, but they do so by putting bunk beds in every room. Here, all bedrooms and the loft feature unique and beautiful log beds.
The bathrooms are very spacious, not typical of most lake homes.
We added a game room to entertain all ages, and our guests love it. We are most proud of the custom bedroom and bathroom in the lower level. From our years of renting with family and friends, we learned that the kids all wanted to sleep in one room together. This room sleeps NINE comfortably and the decor is beautiful. The thick slab live edge pine boards we used to make the beds are repurposed shelves from the bar at a local steak house that went out of business, and the steps for the ladders are the actual steps from the playground slide where my dad went to elementary school! The bathroom is a wonderful mix of rustic and modern styling, and for your comfort includes special touches like heated floors, night lighting, heater fan, and heated toilet seat.
We are always adding and improving. We really want our guests to be impressed!
