About this property

Modern lakefront cottage. Great for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing & swimming

Welcome to fun and relaxation at the lake all year round! Perfect for family and friends.

SUMMER:
This vacation home is idyllic to bring your family to go fishing, swimming, play games, watch sunsets and make memories. The cottage comes with a dock to tie your boat, and is close by to a boat launch. No boat? No problem! You can rent a boat at American Marine. The land is flat from the house to the water. The water is quite shallow towards the end of the dock, perfect for children to swim in or to sit in with a chair with a cold beverage. We also have two adult kayaks, two kids kayaks (up to 130lbs), a water mat, and two paddleboards for your use. Lawn games are available for shoreside fun! New whole house air conditioning and individual window AC units (for 2 or 3 bedrooms) will be arriving in Spring 2025, just in time to keep you cool for the summer.

FALL:
Enjoy the stunning fall leaves changing while warming up to a campfire, or going on ATV adventures. Packer fans - we're just a 30-minute drive from Lambeau Field. The dock cannot be guaranteed between October 13 until late spring.

WINTER:
Live in a winter wonderland with ice fishing, snowmobiling, crafting/quilting and loving the view of freshly fallen snow. Multiple Indoor electric fireplaces will keep you cozy on cold nights. Shawano Lake is known for its ice fishing. Fish on the lake include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye and Sturgeon. Christmas lovers - the halls are decked out for your holiday!

SPRING:
Embrace the emergence of nature by listening/watching the birds, kayaking, paddle boarding, and enjoying bonfires.

YEAR-ROUND:
Enjoy board games/books for all age groups as well as a dartboard. Located on the south side of Shawano Lake, several grocery stores, restaurants, breweries, casinos, golf courses, ATV/snowmobile trails, bowling and shopping areas are just a short few minutes away. Indoor electric fireplaces and an outdoor fire pit will keep you cozy any day of the week.

Fishing Basecamp

Wonderful property that met my needs while ice fishing. There was plenty of space to store my gear in the shed, and recharge other equipment near the door w/o overcrowding the living space. I was able to park my trailer on the grass and utilize street parking for my truck. Beds, bathrooms, and kitchen were all clean and updated.

This cottage was by far the best we've stayed at in the area. The owners thought ahead to the needs of the renters,from toys to coffee filters. The only thing missing were directions to the TV and thermostat for the technically challenged. (us) Would go there again!!!!

This was our second time renting this property on Shawano Lake, and it was as wonderful as the first! The weather was not as cooperative this time, but we had plenty to do with all the games, large TV for movie time, fire pit, and all the outside amenities when the weather was nice enough to hang out by the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Kyle and Jenny

Host profile image
We're Kyle and Jenny, your hosts just a hop, skip, and a 40-minute jump away in De Pere. Our dynamic duo includes two little adventurers, aged 6 and 4, who keep us on our toes. Growing up, Jenny had this tradition where her grandparents snagged a cottage on Lake Winnebago for a week each summer. It was pure magic—games, swims, strolls, and laughter that echoed for days.

Now, we're thrilled to extend that same warmth to Shawano Lake and share it with you. Your vacation is a big deal for us, and we're here to make sure it's absolutely fantastic. Have any questions or need assistance? Count on us! Create some lakeside memories that will leave you with smiles and stories for years to come. Can't wait to host you and make your getaway extra special!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property when we first stepped foot on it. The house is beautiful and completely redone on the inside. Sitting on the deck and watching the sunsets is one of our favorite things to do. This place is perfect for families and has some special accommodations for the kiddos, including kids kitchenware, little potty seat, bathroom stepstool, toys and a waterslide on the dock. The water is shallow on our lot, perfect for little ones to play in the water. We hope everyone is able to have a piece of the lake life. The lot has a small hill by the road, but otherwise it is a flat walk from the house to the water, which was a must for us.

What makes this property unique

A vacation home is ideal for families with small kids because it’s comfy and practical, without the stress of fancy, breakable decor. You’ll find thoughtful touches that make parenting on vacation easier—like a bathroom step stool, child toilet seat cover, juice box holders, spill-free cups, and toys to keep little ones entertained. Plus the shallow waterfront is an ideal, safer spot for children to splash and play. It’s all designed with your family’s needs in mind, so you can relax and enjoy quality time together.
