About this property

Sunsets on the lake at Mill Pond Cottage-Pickleball, Water Sports, Hiking &more

** We have another home just down the street from this one. It is a 1 bedroom that sleeps 4, if using the pull out sleeper as well. Let me know if you want more info.

Located on the Eastern Shores of Lake Sinissippi, Mill Pond Cottage offers high-end comfort, stunning sunset views, amazing bird watching right from the veranda (eagles, white pelicans, herons, etc) AND swimmable frontage. Do as little or as much as you wish while enjoying Wisconsin lake living!

(Our house is within an hour from Madison or Milwaukee, 90 minutes from the northern IL border.)

Spend an active lake day exploring Sinissippi’s 2,800 acres with the home’s kayaks (2), canoeing (1) or paddle boards (2), or enjoy a cocktail and a good book on any one of Mill Pond Cottage’s 3 lakeside terraces. The upper deck off the living room has a gas grill and seating for a small crowd, while the lower deck off the Master bedroom has comfortable lounge seating and a smokeless, propane fire table. Smore’s and an open fire are enjoyed on the shoreline terrace! As the hot summer sun sets, our guests appreciate the partial shade offered by the beautiful, old Oak and Maple tree canopy.

At the end of a long day, COMFORT is king, and our home delivers with air conditioning and comfortable furnishings throughout. Our 3+ bedrooms are furnished with the highest quality lines, comfortable mattresses and extra pillows. The two 2 full bathrooms have extra bath/hand towels as well as body wash, shampoo and conditioner.

The main level’s Queen Bedroom sleeps two, and the twin bedroom, 2 twin beds, also sleeps two. The lower level’s Master bedroom sleeps 2, while the comfortable TV room is furnished with a twin day-bed, sleeping 2. The main level’s full bathroom is a tub/shower combination, while the lower level’s full bathroom is a shower only.

Enjoy dining in with the home’s well-maintained, clean gas grill, or prepare delicious meals in the full kitchen with brand new stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is well-stocked with many of the comforts of home, including a good inventory of pots, pans, gadgets, dinnerware, and flatware.

The laundry room is equipped with a quality washer and dryer and laundry detergent is provided.

A common theme in our guest comments is the home’s cleanliness. We go above and beyond to ensure our professionally cleaned home is perfect for your next visit.

House was nice

Perfect in every way!

This home made us feel like home! It smelled so good when we got there and was very clean. Furniture and beds were comfy. Backyard made for fun fires and perfect sunsets. We used canned corn to fish for carp. They loved it. It was close to so many little towns. Best golf was at Horicorn golf course.

Highly recommend this lake house. Perfect for enjoying the lake!

Super clean and well-appointed lake house. Our group of 6 were very comfortable. We really enjoyed using the 2 kayaks, the canoe, and the 2 paddle boards. Parking was easy and we were pleasantly surprised that the kitchen and bathrooms were so well stocked with essentials. Thank you for a great stay!

Fantastic rental with great owners!

Had a wonderful stay here! The house was very clean and comfortable and being right on the lake was ideal. Their selection of water toys really helped pass the time as well. The owners were very responsive to any of our needs and communication was top notch. Would definitely recommend staying here and we plan to go back again!

Great house

We really enjoyed our stay. Check in and out was easy. Communication with owner was great. Used the kayaks and paddle boards to explore the lake and small islands. Rented a pontoon from local marina and went tubing one day. Had bonfires at night and enjoyed the great view. Would stay here again.

Cottage was super clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing lake weekend. Fishing for catfish off the deck was fun. Caught an 8 pounder the first night. The Sinissippi Pub is a must. It is just down the road. Great food and service.

Just fantastic!

This property was perfect for our family of four and two couple friends. We loved the sunsets, kayaking, watching the fish jump, tubing behind a pontoon we rented, and hiking in the marsh nearby. The place was CLEAN. There were pantry staples in the cupboard and fridge, and the owners were not fussy about us leaving food for the next renter (for example, we had an unopened carton of eggs we left). There was Tupperware for us to use for leftovers! The WiFi was great; 8 of us on at a time, one on a zoom conference, and no issues. Best part were the owners, who were responsive and kind. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay, with perfect views of the lake!

Thanks for letting us stay at your home on Lake Sinissippi. It was just big enough to host our group – yet provided nice spaces for various members of the family to spread out and enjoy space of their own as well. Our family enjoyed the beautiful views from the home and backyard, and really enjoyed the use of the paddle boards and kayaks. The home had everything we needed for our group, the kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep, and the kids enjoyed the use of the Wii when they weren't enjoying the lake.

Wonderful lake house

We really enjoyed our recent visit. The house was perfect sized for our group. Beds were so comfortable. The house was very clean. We loved the paddle boards and kayaks. The kids used them multiple times each day. It also had the best WiFi we have ever experienced in a rental home. Great place to relax and enjoy the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Angela

Host profile image
We live only about 30 minutes away from our lake house, but busy schedules we know will not allow us to get there as much as we would like.

Since we have had such a positive experience renting through VRBO in other parts pf the country and world, we thought we would open up our home to offer that same vacation opportunity we have so enjoyed.

Why they chose this property

We looked at 10 different properties and none of them interested us at all until this one. We are not a fan of the flat lots with no trees and no privacy. It was great to be able to purchase such a nicely updated lake home, and one with such beautiful mature oak trees. And the people in the town of Hustisford are so welcoming!

What makes this property unique

We really love the terraced yard with many different seating areas. And the Western exposure for sunset views was the icing on the cake!
