About this property

Gorgeous, Sunset Lake Views Over Lake Elizabeth

Great place overlooking 685 acre Lake Elizabeth features 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, kitchen/living room and open air front porch overlooking the lake across the street. The Lake Elizabeth bedroom features one king bed (king bed can be made into two extra-long twins), the Lakeview Room has a queen sized bed and the Lake Mary room has one full bed. There is also a twin sized sleeper sofa in the living room. All rooms total, can accommodate 7 people. Watch the sunset and listen to the birds call good night from the comfort of the patio furniture on the porch. One bathroom has a large walk in shower. The second bathroom has a sink, toilet and bathtub. Kitchen/dining/living room has full sized refrigerator, stove, sink and microwave, a table and chairs, and two love seats. There is parking for 4-5 cars, or you can bring your boat, jet ski, or snowmobile (in season) for use on the lake. A marina is within walking distance and launch fees are currently $8.00 per day.

Lake Elizabeth is an all sport lake. The best access to the lake is at the marina, which is within walking distance. The end of the lake in front of the property is a state nature preserve and is not open for boating. It is a great place for bird watching as there are eagles, sandhill cranes, herons, swans, some ducks and blackbirds nesting directly in front of the property. The sunsets from the front porch are spectacular. Because the lake is a living thing, it changes throughout the seasons. In front of the property, it is ice-covered (usually) in winter; in spring and early summer it is clear and full of nesting birds. Around Fourth of July, it is covered in lily pads and teeming with frogs, turtles, birds and water critters and it stays that way until the first frost in October, when once again, morning mist gives way to clear waters and reflections of flaming red and gold leaves of the trees on the far side of the lake.

On-site owners are available for concierge service.

Wonderful B&B, Great Hosts!
We loved this quaint B&B in Twin Lakes. We go up annually to go boating in this summer and so glad we found this gem! Dean & Tina were wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed for a fun-filled weekend. Breakfast each morning was perfect, place was clean. Will definitely come back!

Lovely place! Would stay again
The home was easy to find, very clean with delicious scones waiting for us when we arrived. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed--plus more. Prior to our stay, we had to communicate with the hosts, and they were responsive, friendly, and gracious. I would recommend this place to anyone.

The property is a short walk to the Twin Lakes boat rental. It was our first time visiting the Lake Elizabeth area. We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. Time and Dean were welcoming, the homemade breakfast was great.

Family Reunion
We stayed here to attend a family reunion. I would stay here again anytime. The house was very comfortable and clean. Our hosts were so welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts they fixed for us were to die for! I would recommend The Inn at Lake Elizabeth to anyone going to this area.

Amazing sunsets
Dean and Tina are wonderful host! The baked goods and breakfast were fantastic. The property is very close to boat rentals and jet skis. They have a perfect porch to watch sunsets on the lake. Highly recommend this property if you are in the Richmond area.

Great Weekend Experience
Staying with Dean & Tina was a great experience since we never stood in a bed and breakfast. They were super friendly and helpful with things to do in the area, unfortunately we had to cut our trip short. We definitely recommend and will try to book again.

Best VRBO experience!
This property was centrally located to everywhere that I needed to be for the weekend. The accommodations were extremely clean the beds were so comfortable and I loved that there were lots of places to put our suitcases (enough for each person!) Now that was all awesome but they also bring you made to order breakfast at whatever time you would like, and it was delicious. I needed an iron and they provided one. The owners were just so nice and thoughtful! I would highly recommend staying here and I plan to stay again when I go back to visit family. You will not regret your stay at this wonderful VRBO!!

Prepare to be Spoiled
Perfect for a family with kids, spoiled with breakfast and treats, board games, kind, friendly on-site hosts quick to help with any minor issues that might arise, lake views, Roku TV, Keurig, milk in the fridge for kids all appreciated. Our stay to Lake Elizabeth was comfortable, warm in the winter, perfect for what we needed. Thanks Tina & Dean!

Really enjoyed our stay
My husband, mother, sister and I stayed for a long weekend. The space was perfect for us. It was much better than a hotel because we had a shared living area. Tina and Dean were wonderful hosts. They did everything they could to make us feel welcome and comfortable. They provided an amazing breakfast each morning. Plus, they have a sweet little puppy who we enjoyed immensely. When we come back to the area, we will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful place to stay for a family!
We had such a wonderful trip and stay at The Inn at Lake Elizabeth ❤️ Plenty of room, clean, fully stocked kitchen and great location to the marina down the street for us to load our boat and enjoy the beautiful lake. We spent our nights around the outdoor fire pit roasting marshmallows and making s’mores in the very peaceful community. The hosts are so friendly and accommodating and bring a delicious breakfast to the door each morning. This is the ultimate bed and breakfast experience because you have full privacy and the benefit of a delicious breakfast prepared for you! We will be back!

Relaxing, and clean
We loved this property. We rent all over the world and this one was one of the cleanest we have stayed in. The front deck is so relaxing. The three bedrooms are a good size and beds are comfortable. There are two bathrooms. Very happy with the accommodations. Tina and Dean are wonderful hosts. Breakfast each day was included and amazing. It is a short walk or drive to rent a pontoon to explore the lake, and the Sand Bar Tiki restaurant is right there too, which was very good. This property is also very close to Richmond and the city of Twin Lakes which have good restaurants. Would definitely recommend staying here and hope to stay there ourselves in the near future.

Family boating weekend
This property was perfect for our stay. The unit was very clean and well stocked and easily met the needs of our family with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. We were boating on lakes in southern Wisconsin and wanted to try Elizabeth Lake and the large parking space and launch so close made this rental a perfect match for us. We were able to park our boat and truck along with another vehicle in the driveway with ease. Dean and Tina were great communicators and answered all our questions prior to our arrival. The breakfast each morning was fabulous and Dean and Tina went the extra mile to meet the dietary restrictions of our family. The freshly baked scones and muffins were a big hit with those who like sweets and eat carbs and the keto family members were well taken care of as well. We highly recommend staying at The Inn at Lake Elizabeth and look forward to returning when we next visit the lake.

Excellent place to stay!
The hosts were friendly and truly wanted to ensure we had a nice stay which came through in the little touches like the extra toothpaste in the bathroom in case you forgot your own. The hot breakfast delivered to the porch door each morning was delicious and amazing! When our coffee maker didn’t work the second morning (to no fault of the owners) they just brewed us some and brought it over. The place is set up as a duplex with the owners on the other side. It was very clean and bedrooms are large. We skied at Wilmot each day and the rental is only ten minutes away so it was very close and convenient. We would definitely stay there again!!

This place was great! We were hoping to be on the lake, not across the street from it, but trust me, it doesn't matter. This is a bed and breakfast, and holy crap. That food was amazing! The hosts were super friendly and gave us a lot of great information on shopping and eating in the area. Would stay here again!

Very Clean, Owners Friendly, Not quite what we expected!
The property was shall I say unique! It was very, very clean. The bedrooms were large...Loved the shades in bedrooms which kept the rooms...perfect for sleeping. Owners friendly and very accommodating to try and make our stay pleasant. They offered to make us breakfast every morning which was so nice, but we didn’t want to trouble them. (My husband and young adult son and I stayed there 3 nights and my brother stayed one night with us.) We were in the area for a family event. Before we stayed at the place, I planned to have a few cousins over one day (not a party and no more than the place allowed) that were staying at a nearby hotel to come and hang out. Besides the bedrooms and bathrooms, the one and only other room to gather is small. The porch is nice, but narrow...but not a lot of room to hang out as the larger part of the porch is on the owners side of the house. It seem the ad changed from the time I booked it, to the time we stayed and was now labeled as an apartment. The ad stated the owners were on property. However, was not expecting to be connected to them with only a door separating us...I felt it would be weird to have people over because if I could hear their dogs bark through the door, they would be able to hear us if several were talking inside or out This obviously is a home converted and the owners live in part of it. I applaud them for using it for rental income. Just felt that needs to be disclosed a little better in their description of the place. Looks from the picture on the outside you are staying in the whole place, but that is not the case. It ended up being ok because all we did pretty much was sleep there and was perfect for that...we instead just made plans to go elsewhere to be with some of the family.
