Great Option in Green Lake

Great location, fantastic backyard, and lake access with 2 separate docs. The property is actually 2 separate houses so there is a huge amount of space. The only negative is the main/front house is a little old, but wasn't any issue and we enjoyed our stay. The owner was extremely responsive. Would stay there again

Wonderful stay!

We rented Badger Shores for our wedding week (we got married at the Heidel House about 5 min away) and stayed here with friends, family and our two dogs. It was perfect for what we needed and everyone enjoyed their stay, including the pups! Highly recommend renting this for a big group, as there are two houses on the property and we all had plenty of space. The views of the lake can’t be beat, great yard for games, huge porch for gathering, plenty of parking and right next to delicious food at Norton’s restaurant. I could go on! We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect location

My family and friends stay each year. The location and accommodations were perfect. The only comments would be a few of the windows, particularly in the house nearest the lake could use some repairs on the operating mechanism. Thank you again for the great accommodations. Steve Lawson

The property is well located. After that, there is not much good to say. We were sent the door codes for our check in. They did not work. When I called the number on the listing it went to the previous owner. The new owners haven’t bothered to update their info. The wifi info sent was incorrect. The homes were dirty. Appliances, dishes, pots, pans, all should be thrown away. They are old and disgusting. Nothing is clean. Crumbs in the cabinets, dishes aren’t clean, etc. Everything was filthy. Light bulbs burned out, trash in closets and bushes. Knobs missing from doors, one units electronic lock is non functional. Some outlets work, some don’t. Life safety items missing. Light fixtures missing. I could go one and on - but I think you get my drift. Needs lots of work.

Perfect for large group

Great location with fantastic grounds. Multiple homes accommodated our large family group with plenty of space and accommodations. Main kitchen is well appointed with everything you need and the 2 kitchenettes make breakfast easy with everyone able to have their own schedule. Really enjoyed our stay.

Awesome location, beautiful view, and super cute place!

Overall our stay was great... I'd love to give this 5 stars but there were just a few things that we felt like made this 4 stars instead of 5. The TV in one of the bedrooms didn't work at all and the wall mounted TV in the living room kept drooping - and looked like it was starting to pull away from the wall! Some of the rooms were missing blinds and one of the downstairs blinds actually kept falling off the window. There was a little issue with wifi because the code that was in the check in message didn't match the book but the host was quick to respond to my message about it. We also didn't realize that the bedrooms in the carriage house are actually split up into 2 separate apartments and have their own entrances. We felt like the description of the set up could have been more clear. Again, overall it was a great stay! Loved that its right next to the bar and restaurant and it was very cute.

beautiful setting but below average cleanliness and accommodations

The location of this rental is gorgeous - it's right on the shores of Green Lake and next door to Norton's. The houses can fit a lot of guests but the accommodations are very simple. The property wasn't clean to the standards we're used to at rental properties. Also, pans and appliances are very old. I didn't even feel safe cooking with the scratched pans. If it's location and space you're after this place is great but the property itself is below average.

Wonderful family vacation

We so enjoyed our family reunion at the Green Lake cabins. The various cabins /apartments provided an ideal arrangement for our three families to have separate spaces but also get together on the spacious wrap-around porch. The quaint village was within walking distance for treats or supplies. Management was responsive and ground maintenance came back after our reunion celebration was over for the day.

Amazing property! Lawn & lakeview

We had such a great experience renting this property! The owners are so accommodating and responsive. The homes were perfect for our group to give every family their own space and then the main house for gathering. The lawn and bonfire area is perfect for family get togethers with an expansive yard right on the water for kids to run around safely and adults to watch from the expansive porch! (Bonus was having Norton’s restaurant right next to the place for a cocktail or meal) We brought our fishing boat and also rented a large pontoon with a water slide from Greenlake Marina for all to enjoy! The house had everything we needed for a great stay. We will be back.

Great property with two different buildings (20 feet apart). Large wrap around deck and plenty of green space with lake shore. Both buildings were well kept, clean, and updated. Definitely a place we're targeting for a return visit.

Will always remember - hope to come back!

We did a family birthday for my father - ages 2 - 70. We had an absolute blast. Everything was extremely easy. Was awesome that there was paddle boards/kayaks there. We had everything we could possibly need - extra beds to spare. Having lived in Wisconsin all our lives, we still found such beauty in this new spot. Definitely will come again.

Green Lake Vacation

We loved our stay at Green Lake. Our family rented all 3 properties and we had great weather so we spent most of our time outside enjoying the lake. The porch and yard are amazing! The "100 feet of lakefront property" has a large dock with 4 other boats parked there so throughout the weekend people in golf carts would drive through the front lawn of the property and park their golf carts in the lawn to access their boats- the pictures on VRBO do not show this mini boat marina so we were very surprised! Norton's restaurant is literally right next door- you can watch people eating on the porch from the front lawn of the property. Please read the listing carefully before traveling, any extras that are not listed like, salt and pepper, olive oil, and shampoo are not provided. We did call ahead and ask for firewood and our host provided plenty- which was great. It's clear that this is a rental property is in need of a little TLC and extra cleaning. In the main house- there were ants and crumbs in the kitchen, and a bat in the upstairs bedroom! (We did get the bat out of the home with a towel) Some of the blinds in the bedrooms were broken and under the beds were old socks and spider webs. In the carriage house the pullout sofa sleeper in the downstairs is broken (and there are mouse traps set up under it) and the queen mattress upstairs really needs to be replaced. A good cleaning and a few updates to the listing and the property would make this place amazing. We did have a great weekend on Green Lake and enjoyed the lake plenty!

Great location, few mishaps

The location and property were great! You can’t beat having three separate living spaces. The yard was big and level, perfect for the kids to run around and play yard games. We also did a lot of fishing off the pier. The homes were clean and fully stocked with supplies, better than any other vrbo we have rented for vacation. All that said we did have a few mishaps with the biggest being there wasn’t internet when we got there. I called the owner and he responded right away and had the cleaning lady drop off the new router and modem but someone couldn’t come by until after 5pm to hook it up. My brother had been planning a working vacation so he had to drive back home because we couldn’t get it working in time for his meetings. While we were out with the kids my dad had to find the modem/router (in the storm shelter/basement) and hooked it up. It was a big bummer though not being set up and losing a member of our party. The next item was that the tru green guy can by to fertilize at 7:15am. It was super loud and we asked him to come back later but he said because he started he had to finish and the kids had to stay off the lawn for 1-2 hours. Then, that afternoon the lawn mowing guy came by. I will say that the property owner was very responsive and did the best he could. I think he recently purchased the property so I’m sure these will be remedied going forward. The consensus of all in our party was that we would definitely stay there again.
