You can see the sign for the access from the road to the left of the house.
When using the beach please be mindful of others who may be using it as well. Use proper etiquette, respect others, leash your dogs, control the language used and ensure you clean up the area when you leave.

Lake Fun!

This home is perfect for family gatherings with multiple rooms and areas for hanging out. The hosts thought of almost everything. Great stay! Hoping to return one day.

Very nice stay

The Rustic Lake Home was just as described. The house was very clean, quite inviting and well-stocked with all necessary items needed. Our GPS brought us straight to the front door. The only hesitancy we had was getting used to a 3-second hold time in electronically securing the front door. There was definitely more living space available than needed for our party of four. The upstairs game room was also a welcome attraction for us all. Our evening trip to the Fort Atkinson Fireside was just 11 miles away. This is a house that you can be confident in what the Vrbo listing says about it. All-in-all, a well needed respite for a little time off.

Just what we needed

Great stay and the property had everything we needed. The only thing to be aware of is the neighbor across the street didn’t seem very happy with the VRBO situation. We needed to reverse in to the driveway (rather than pull in) to avoid hitting the garbage cans and their trailer hitch that sticks out. He told me I “drove on his property” (which I absolutely did not) and proceeded to yell at me in front of my whole family and children about disrespect. I tried to make peace and was absolutely calm with him but he was not interested. Caught me off guard and I was shaken up by his crude and inconsiderate reaction. All in all would recommend. Very suitable for a week long stay.

Very nice house

Very nice house. One of the most well equipped houses I've booked. Im still giving it 5 stars, but the one thing i didnt care for was the fact that the thermostat is controlled by the host, remotely. It was 90 to 100 degrees out and the house was constantly at 76 degrees. Now thats hood when you first step in, but for sleeping, not so much. I did reach out to the host and got a response that it would be lowered, but it soon reset itself back. Again, great house, great amenities. Just hot!

Perfect Winter Family Getaway

This was a lovely property and online description/photos were spot on. Visited with my adult children and we had plenty of room to spread out or be together. Nice fireplace for cold winter nights and the shuffleboard game was a big hit. Loved the upstairs frig to store beer and pop for our game times with room to spread out snacks on top. Large kitchen for cooking family meals was well stocked (and we have a chef in the family). Owner was very responsive to messages with questions. Only small suggestion would be some plain Keurig coffee pods for those purists who aren't fans of flavored coffee. Thanks for a lovely weekend family outing. Would highly recommend!

Great stay!

The home was clean and well stocked with essentials, including some breakfast items (super helpful since we arrived late in the evening). Plenty of hang out space on the main level or upstairs with the shuffle board table. Very short walk to a small beach park area and about 10-15 minute drive to town. Great coffee spot and ice cream place in town! Easy to rent a pontoon boat and lake wasn’t super crowded on a Friday afternoon in July.

Accurate Description for Comfortable and Spacious Home.

Well maintained property. Very clean and comfortable. One of the largest and best properties in the neighborhood. Large and well equipped kitchen except for a tiny coffee pot. Family gathering of three couples had plenty of room to spread out. If you have multiple people taking back to back showers you may want to spread them out to give the water heater time to recover. Minor problem checking in with a lock code that didn't work, but was quickly resolved by very responsive host.

Uncomfortable stay

Property was pretty, but the renter would not let you control your temperature of the house by yourself. They set it to what they thought it should be and had the control locked so u could not change it. Kind of ridiculous to have to send messages to try and get it changed every time you wanted it cooler. You pay that much a day to be uncomfortable!!!

I would not call it a Lake House

Overall the property was really nice, it included everything we needed and a really nice house. However I did have a couple of issues. I expected a Lakehouse to be on a lake not in a neighborhood with a lake. The "Beach" was just a very small area of the lake shore and we found it unusable. I don't blame the owners for this, I just feel it was presented differently than my expectations. Also not the owners fault but the house next door was under construction, so all day there was construction noise. Stairs are steep to the upstairs area of the house which wasn't ideal for my in-laws, but they lead to a very usable and nice common area with a TV and fireplace. Overall We loved th house and would stay again.

Great weekend family getaway

My siblings and our kids enjoyed a long weekend here. Two big comfy seating areas with plenty of room for everyone. Large kitchen with everything you need to make meals. Our kids were all under 2 1/2 so the beach nearby didn’t work well for us but we did enjoy a local pool in Edgerton that was about 10 minutes away. Also went to the Anchor to eat, another great kid friendly place.

Didn't even stay

Owner never contacted us with check in info. Drove an hour and a half there while trying to message the owner and call. No answer. Called VRBO and they couldn't contact owner either. Drove past the house to see if anything was left outside for us. 3 hours after my first attempt at contact, 4 hours after what should have been check in time, I get a message with the code. Too little too late. Thank God VRBO was so good. They put us up in a hotel for the night.
