OUR HOME IS CERTIFIED by the local Tri-County Environmental Health Agency. Our smoke and CO alarms, dish washer and bedroom linens are inspected and certified each year.

As per our regular process, the entire home is cleaned between guests. Even though bed pillows are supplied, we suggest bringing your own sleeping pillows for your personal comfort. All regularly handled surfaces are wiped down with disinfectant. Please use the sanitize setting on the dishwasher.

Now we want you to imagine basking under the sun or stars while relaxing on the second story deck overlooking Beyers Cove with family and friends. The setting sun ignites the Western sky with fire tones and the first shooting stars streak across the sky. Seriously!

You will be staying in our beautiful 2 story custom built, 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, home that has given our family many wonderful memories. There is nothing like listening to your favorite music while in front of a crackling stone fireplace, especially if someone has just made a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies in the fully equipped kitchen. Two large gathering rooms provide great spaces for your family and friends to relax together. In addition, you can choose from our collection of family friendly DVDs for a fun night of movies and popcorn. Or access your Roku, Netflix, Youtube TV accounts on the 55" 4K, Smart TV in the Great room upstairs or on the 42" Roku Smart TV in the family room downstairs. (Both Smart TVs can access channels through the Spectrum app on Roku.)

With the master bedroom suite on the first floor (queen) including its own private bath, parents can have a quiet evening upstairs with the kids in one of the three downstairs bedrooms (five newer queens) sharing a full bath.

As you exit the walk-out lower level toward Beyers Cove, you'll find the campfire pit, picnic table and twin docks. Bass, sun fish and the occasional Northern Pike lurk along the rocks of the 70 foot shoreline while turtles and frogs jump back into the water when they hear you coming.

There are a bicycles of all sizes in the 2 1/2 car garage, so think about exploring the back country roads. A large Amish community is just minutes southwest of our home. Their bakeries, stores, green houses, shops and farms take you back into another time. Or take one or both of the kayaks out for a quiet morning paddle on the glass-like lake or around the cove.

Every Saturday, Princeton is home to one of Wisconsin's largest flea markets and some of the best antique shopping in the area. Green Lake hosts the County Free Fair in August and boasts excellent dining, entertainment and golf at either Lawsonia, Mascoutin or Tuscumbia country clubs.

For a day of family fun, the Wisconsin Dells are only 45 miles west of us and 40 miles to the east and a little north is Oshkosh home to the Experimental Aviation Association (EAA) and its August, airshow fly-in. You'll also find great outlet malls, cinema theaters and restaurants in Oshkosh.

We're ideally situated for Fall fun. Local farms are full of pumpkins, apples and corn stalks. A local winery is a 20 minute drive north of Ripon. Trees blaze with color and the cool crisp air makes an ideal setting from mid-September thru October.

Winter begins right outside the door, with ice-fishing, snowmobiling and cross country skiing moments away. Downhill skiing at Nordic Mountain is just 30 minutes north.

The home comfortably sleeps a maximum of12 guests in beds.

Perfect family vacation location

BEST VRBO for all ages!! We had four generations with us and everyone had a wonderful experience. The house with very well appointed, grandkids caught/released TONS of fish from the dock and all beds were extremely comfortable. It was really nice having two living room spaces for a separation of activities. The Host was very fast to respond to every question and friendly! We will absolutely stay at this home again. We all HIGHLY recommend this location for your next family vacation!

A great house!

This house is located on a beautiful inlet of Green Lake and has a fantastic porch looking over the lake, part open and part screened. The house was very clean and well decorated, with lots of room. The owners were easy to work with and very responsive. No issues at all, and a great place to relax.

Quaint and comfortable

This is our second time using Wayne and Candy's lakefront cottage on Green Lake for a family reunion, first time in 2016. The cottage sits on Beyer's Cove, which opens to Green Lake. The pictures correctly depict the property and amenities with no surprises. The owners have bikes and kayaks in the garage that they allow you to use during your stay, along with a fire pit and stocked firewood. Wayne and Candy are prompt in correspondence. We even experienced a plumbing problem on a weekend during our stay, and the owners were able to contact their trusted plumber who was on-site within 30 minutes. Kudos! Will definitely stay there for our next family reunion.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property. The owners provided everything we could possibly need and the yard and water were just perfect.

Had a great 3 day ice fishing weekend with a group of 5 friends. The house was perfect, very clean, stocked with almost anything you need (but as owner said, don't forget your towel!). Plenty of rooms and beds. The place is even better than pictured. Would recommend to anyone.

About the host

Hosted by Wayne or Candy

Host profile image
Candy and I have been married since 1974 and have two grown, married children and six grandchildren. I spent 26 years in business and transitioned to pastoral ministry in 1999. Now I coach men and women in business in faith-based leadership and culture. Candy loves teaching and nurturing, especially our grandchildren. She taught for 9 years on Chicago's West Side. We love being outdoors, reading, writing, biking, hiking and eating with family and friends. We love people and we love Jesus.

Why they chose this property

Green Lake is beautiful. It is not overcrowded as are some other lakes closer to metropolitan areas. We felt God led us here in the Fall of 1984 and dedicated it to rest and physical, mental and spiritual restoration. In 1995 we were able to build the home you see today on the site of the original three season cottage.

What makes this property unique

We have prayed for God's shalom to be present with its renewing and refreshing power. Many people have told us how relaxed they have been while vacationing at our home.
