About this property

Big Lake House on Lake Kampeska - Perfect family getaway!

Welcome to your perfect family vacation home!

NEW IN 2024: We heard your guest feedback about a lack of parking and added a huge circle drive. There is now plenty of space for guest parking!

With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, there is space for one or more families or groups to spread out. Perfect for small groups, too!

We have 116’ of lakefront beach and a very large grass lawn to play on. There are a couple of kayaks available for guest use so that you can enjoy being on the lake, and hammocks for lounging amongst the trees, taking in the expansive view.

Our shaded lakeside patio features a dining set big enough for six, as well as an additional loveseat couch. Enjoy your coffee in the mornings and the firepit in the evenings while basking in the panoramic lake views.

There are three living room areas to enjoy: the lakeside living room features a fireplace and beautiful lake views with patio door to access the lakeside patio. The den features a huge, comfy sectional couch with a TV that can access your streaming content. And the sun room features the best views in the house along with a foosball table and a conversation hangout area.

All bedrooms have plenty of space with room for your luggage. Linens are provided and all bedrooms feature blackout curtains for late-sleepers.

The house is located next to Memorial Park Campground, which features playgrounds and hiking trails. And the walking/biking trail that encircles the lake is directly in front of our house.

Lake Kampeska get away

This is the second time we have stayed at this property and the experience has been wonderful both times. The house is extremely comfortable and it is very convenient to Watertown. The kitchen is wonderful, the bathrooms are spacious and the bedrooms are comfortable. I would love to be able to stay here again next year.

Getaway weekend with friends

We had a lovely weekend with friends. The house was spacious, comfy and very clean. We brought our bikes - did a bit of biking around the lake, and geocaching in and around Watertown, fire in the fire pit. Highly recommend.

Peaceful lake get-away

We enjoyed our short but quite and relaxing lake stay. The place was spacious and clean. We had a good meal at the Sand Bar across the lake which also has great views of the lake. We would recommend staying at this property since we had an excellent time.

My sisters and cousins stayed for a long weekend and couldn’t have been more thrilled with the house! It was very comfortable and well equipped and the property was fantastic! The owner was so accommodating and was quick to respond to my messages. 10/10!

Siblings weekend

The property was wonderful, very clean, plenty of room and located close to many area attractions. Stephanie was very helpful and easy to get a hold of. The beach picture that was shown was not what I expected but could be to high water? We enjoyed the fishing and time out on the patio. I recommend this property to anyone visiting Watertown.

Beautiful property on Lake Kampeska.

The property is right on the lake and is very well maintained. The house is extremely comfortable and roomy. The kitchen is nicely appointed, the bathrooms are more than adequate and the towels are plentiful and thick. Very easy access to Watertown. I would recommend this property with no reservations.

Parking

Parking was an issue but neighbors across the street were very nice about parking pickup and boat on that side for the night . Son was not comfortable about leaving in the camp ground parking lot all night . The parking right at the end of the road is only until 10 pm .
