Amazing stay

Beautiful property! We were here for a small team retreat and had an amazing time. Were able to get work done with breaks for pickleball and paddleboarding, and there was enough space that everyone could have solo time as needed. The teahouse was a highlight - we even saw otters in the lake! Hope to come again.

Beautiful and fun!

We loved our stay at Shadowlands! The house is beautiful and private with a great view of the lake and surrounding natural areas. There’s no shortage of fun things to do - game room, movie room, snowshoeing and fishing on the lake, etc. We loved the fenced-in area for the dogs and had no problem finding enough space for everyone to sleep comfortably. This place is a find!

Family getaway

We had a wonderful weekend on Lake Sylvia.. we had seven adults and a one-year-old. The house was so delightfully roomy. Everyone had some private space including the baby. The lake is exceptionally clean. We did a lot of water skiing and wakeboarding. Didn’t catch any fish but minimum effort was put towards that. The kitchen was very well stocked. We had two dogs who had a marvelous time running around the spacious property. I highly recommend this property.

Celebration of life/reunion

Look no further! This is a large, beautiful, well maintained and equipped house. It is on a large, nicely planted and manicured lot. It is like having your own resort. Angie is very understanding and responsive to any questions. The owners have done a wonderful job of keeping the house updated and supplied with many outdoor and indoor entertainment options. Rent it and enjoy your stay on Lake Sylvia! Thank You Angie and Jim!

Quiet getaway

We stayed at Lake Sylvia for a few nights to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. It was the perfect location for my family to gather and spend quality time together. The property is absolutely gorgeous with lots of space to roam. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, playing pickle ball, relaxing in the pagoda to watch the sunset, and even got to take out the water toys for a bit. The house had plenty of room with 5 large bedrooms and we loved the garage rec room for ping pong matches while it rained. The house was immaculately clean and stocked better than any other rental property I’ve stayed in. We brought extra kitchen supplies but ended up not needing it. I highly recommend this property. It’s stunning and the location is beautiful.

Family Retreat

We can't say enough good things about this hidden gem of a house. As frequent travelers it isn't often that a property completely exceeds our expectations. We were immediately blown away by the vibrant fall colors and peaceful quiet. We spent all of our days around the fire watching the little ones play in the sand. We had many laughs as family members tried paddle boarding for the first time. The apple orchard was a fun experience for the kids. We also rented a pontoon for day to fish and check out all the lake had to offer. Spectacular views and crystal clear water! Inside was just as wonderful. The kitchen was a central place for us all to connect. But the kids loved having the game room and having their own space to hang out. Our trip ended way too soon. We will be making this a new tradition and can't wait until next year!

Family reunion for Thanksgiving

This home was the perfect gathering spot for three generations of our family as we got together from Colorado, Wisconsin, and Minnesota to celebrate Thanksgiving. The property was spotlessly clean and decorated and appointed to a very high level of finishes. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out and never feel cramped. We would definitely return, ideally during the summer when we could enjoy all of the lakeside activities. Thank you to Angie and her team. We can only think of good things to say.

Classy, clean, perfect lay-out, well equipped, stunningly beautiful

The pictures don’t fully do this lake house justice. It’s even prettier in real life! The view of the lake and the lush surroundings are stunning from the decks, the living room, the dining room and also from every bedroom. The kitchen is clean, modern and well equipped. The furnishings, art, lighting and fabrics classy and beautiful. The split level lay-out is perfect, with the 5 bedrooms far enough apart (on three levels) to make each bedroom feel private. There are many different areas to lounge so even with a large group like ours, there was enough space to have different activities going on at house at the same time. We loved gathering around the fire on the beach, fishing and exploring by kayak and paddle boat, reading and relaxing in the Japanese tea house on the water—everybody in our group loved every minute at this beautiful lake house. It was perfect!

We enjoyed the large deck and outdoor space including the pickle ball court. Property managers were wonderful to work with and always available. This home is clean and very well maintained. I honestly can’t say enough nice things about this home- our favorite VRBO to date. We hope to come back soon! Highly recommend for adults and little ones alike.

Winter Cabin Family Getaway

Our family had the BEST time at Shadowlands on Lake Sylvia! Our parents had always wanted to host a winter cabin week but due to extenuating circumstances they were unable so my siblings and I decided to bring it to them. This beautiful home did not disappoint! Just a short drive for all of us and in a beautiful, quiet and secluded area we enjoyed outdoor walks with our pups, game nights, movie nights, and a fully stocked kitchen and bar that accommodated our needs. We made memories and had so many laughs along with beautiful winter sunsets and sunrises. The playroom/game room was a huge bonus with darts, bags and ping pong! Bedrooms, bathrooms and gathering spaces were clean, warm and inviting! The upstairs loft/nook and sitting areas in the bedrooms were great spaces for doing puzzles, reading, and just having quiet time when needed. The fenced in area for the pups was AWESOME on the cold evenings when we needed to let them out (quickly & safely) and the yard was huge so they could run and play. The host, Angie, was quick to answer all our questions and patient when I had MORE questions. 😊 We will definitely be back!

The property was well appointed and very comfortable. Angie, the property manager was excellent and very accommodating. Very responsive, courteous on the phone, and helpful with lots of local knowledge (especially when a winter storm threatened the power one evening).

Rain and Sun

We had both cold rainy and beautiful sunny days and the house accommodated both. Our adult children and grandchildren all said they had so much fun! The orchard was an added treat, as was pickle ball, the tea house and large outdoor area. Everyone enjoyed the lake toys and the little one caught fish after fish off the dock, squealing with delight. I hope we can make it an annual visit!
