About this property

Lakefront, cozy cottage fish, swim in the lake in your backyard, bonfires, bike

Quiet, cozy, cottage lake front with nice outdoor patio area for grilling and backyard area for relaxing and bon fires (wood is provided for bon fires). Large, three section, pier perfect for fishing off of all day and night. There are fishing poles in the cottage for guests to use. During the winter you can ice fish on the lake right out your back door. The inside of the cottage has two bedrooms with either a full or queen size bed along with one dresser, as well as two bathrooms, two living rooms with two televisions, a kitchen space with eat in area, and a laundry room. The two couches on the left side of the cottage, when facing the lake, lay flat for individuals to sleep on. There are plenty of additional sheets, blankets, and pillows in the wall closet to use. There is also an air mattress provided for use. Patio and bbq grill outside in the backyard with a table and chairs for outdoor eating. Lots of outdoor seating. There is a hammock by the lake. The Trading Post, a bar/restaurant that serves food and drinks is near by as well as a coffee shop, the Mt Morris Mill, that has smoothies, coffee, and ice cream. The Hideaway, a bar/restaurant, a bit further down the road, is great for food and drinks too. Wautoma is nearby for grocery shopping, marinas, bars, restaurants, and ad hoc shopping as well. Spectacular fishing and swimming lake during the summer. Lots of biking and hiking paths nearby. Snow Skiing, tubing, and snowmobiling paths just a few minutes away for winter fun at Nordic Mountain. There are snowmobiling paths all around the Knest. The cottage has all the essentials of a home away from home. For the first time the Knepper’s Knest has been open to the public to enjoy, after 70 years, it’s time to share the love. Hope you find the cottage and Mt Morris as peaceful, serene, relaxing, restorative, and a little something good for your soul. Give yourself, your friends, your family, a little slice of heaven on earth and spends few days at the Knepper’s Knest and enjoy what little old Mt Morris has to offer, then explore the near by towns, Wautoma, Wild Rose, Redgranite, Saxville, and even Waupauca which is a bit further a way. The Wisconsin Dells is only an hour away. There is a lot of action and fun going on there if you are looking for action. Whatever you do, remember to enjoy each movement, stay present, and make those memories that will last a lifetime.

Weekend fun with family

The cottage was well stocked and comfortable for my family. Bonus that it was located near my husband’s family. The lake is active - great fishing, boating and swimming.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Knepper

Host profile image
Raised between Mt. Morris and the Chicago suburbs I have always enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, walking, golfing, boating, swimming, bonfires, and grilling. It brings me great joy to share our family cottage after exclusively using it for the past 30 odd years. I hope you find the peace, enchantment, tranquility, excitement, relaxation, and rejuvenation that the Knepper’s Knest and Mt. Morris Lake have to offer.

Why they chose this property

I love my cottage. It brings me back to so many memories and all the comfort and love that my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends have shared, and when lucky continue to share with me there.
My family has been going to Mt. Morris Lake for over 70 years. It is heaven on earth. It is my favorite place to be in the United States

What makes this property unique

The cottage is located on the East side, center of the shores of the main lake, and provides endless entertainment opportunities. There is swimming, fishing, boating, water sports, paddle boarding, hiking, biking, walking, tennis, playgrounds, a beach front swim area, a coffee house, and a bar/restaurant all within walking distance from the front door.
