Nice weekend away!

Our family enjoyed fishing and spending time together here. The property had all the amenities needed for cooking and lots of indoor and outdoor games. There were only 4 of us but would it have been comfortable for a larger group as well.

Great place and location

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were in town for the Englewood Open MTB and it proved to be the perfect setup for our group. Lots of space within the rental, and a ton outside. It is right on the lake and the owner provides everything you need to enjoy the water. The owner was super communicative throughout. Would highly recommend!

Relaxing get away

Nice location on lake. Kathy is very responsive, resourceful, and pleasant. Pretty much all you need is onsite, down to the spices and fully stocked Traeger. Just bring yourself, clothes and food for great time on the lake. We were in town for a family wedding, this was a perfect spot to host 8 of us. Kathy was very accomadative, would definitely return.

Family of 4. Great place had separate rooms for everyone. Kathy told us of places to shop in town. She has menus of restaurants she recommends some with coupons attached. Very clean and well stocked kitchen. It was very hot and humid the week we went. Didn’t take advantage of fire pit or kayaks.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy McMichael

Host profile image
I live on this lakefront property in the smaller 1/2 of this duplex. I love lake living and want my quest to enjoy the use of this property. I am always available if needed but otherwise let the guest shave their own space to enjoy the waterfront, watercraft, deck and grill.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property in 2019, renovated it and then made it available for people to enjoy a vacation and make memories.

What makes this property unique

Many local and unique area attractions including the Horicon Marsh, an Amish community, a local winery, brew pub, wine bar, locally owned lakefront bars/grills, great local meat market for your grilling needs,.

Large lot for spreading out with your family playing yard games and enjoying the firepit.
