About this property

Adorable home w lake front- Paddle boats & kayaks ava, and 2 bathrooms!

This property was remodeled and is lovely!

This cozy house is located on over 1/2 acres of land so you don't have neighbors right on top of you, and you don't have to walk to a park or a beach. The shore is mainly sand with some pebbles. Many properties in the area have a muddy lake bottom, but you can walk into ours a ways before hitting mud!

There are 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen with a charcoal grill outside, and a living room with a fireplace to relax in or kick back in the air conditioning in the summer, and a garage for your toys.

We have yard games, board games, books, kayaks, paddle boats, a large TV, internet, and a blue-ray player so you have lots of entertainment at the house. The sandy shoreline is perfect for wading in during the summer months, and the lake is perfect for year round fishing, including ice fishing in the winter There are also many snowmobile trails in the area.

The house is located just 2 blocks away from a gravel boat launch! There are 14 bars and supper clubs around the lake and over 10,000 acres of water to enjoy. The activities are abundant in the area such as golf, a pool, parks, farm tours, bowling, the drive-in theatre, wine tastings, or stock car races. There are also activities in the city of Madison, Milwaukee, and Wisconsin Dells to discover.

The local townships around the lake, as well as both Dane and Jefferson counties, now require that the host has the name and address of the guest booking the property.

This home is just over 2 hours to the Chicago area, or about 20 minutes to Madison, Janesville or Fort Atkinson, so you won't spend much of your precious vacation time driving. The Anchor Inn is nearby to rent a boat if you don't bring one.

Relaxing Stay

We really loved our stay. This was our first time using VRBO. Tammy noticed the weather was going to be crummy for our full day at the cottage and offered to let us come early. That made it so we were able to enjoy the lake for a full afternoon before the storms came in. We used the paddle boat and the kayaks to take a short family boat trip. There were tie outs and sheets for the furniture for the dog. The kitchen was stocked withmany essentials and the showers even had shampoo and soap provided! Tammy was very responsive to our messages, but we didn't have any issues to report. It was perfect! Highly recommend.

We loved the deep lawn going down to the lake. We enjoyed cooking out and eating at the table on the lawn. Our dog loved playing stick and running. It was close to Ft. Atkinson, Edgerton and Stoughton. We would stay here again.

Ft Atkinson lake house

My family loved relaxing in this comfy house. We were in Ft Atkinson to see our oldest son perform at the Fireside Dinner Theatre. We brought along my 80 year old parents and they loved it as well! They used the master bedroom and bath while we slept in the smaller bedroom and our younger son slept on the pull out bed in the living room. There was room for all six of us to enjoy meals at the dining table. And we even played some of the games from the living room cabinet. The view of the lake was pretty - we saw a bald eagle a couple of times! It was a very pleasant stay!

Nice and easy; Good getaway

Had a pleasant long weekend to celebrate partner’s birthday and to get away from it all. Nice place to connect outside and relax inside. Lake view is lovely, plenty of towels, some good remodel choices. We had a little bit of noise issues with dog next door and with outside tree trimming and removal (beeping construction truck noises throughout the weekend). Could use a new screen on back door to keep bugs out when allowing in fresh air. Comfortable indoor and outdoor furniture and huge back yard with nice grass.

About the host

Hosted by Tammy Fox

Host profile image
I've been in the real estate rental business for 25 years, but this is my first vacation rental and I'm very excited to be able to share it so that others can enjoy this beautiful lake front property!

Why they chose this property

The house needed a lot of work, which is a challenge that I love to take on when I find a home needing major TLC. However, the deciding factor was when I saw the view of the lake. The 130' of water front across such a big lake just melted my heart, and I'm sure it will do the same for you.
