I wanted somewhere quiet where I could write and study as well as run on a rails-to-trails trail, and this Brown's Lake property provided everything that I wanted. It is compact and efficient. It has a nice kitchen, dining room table with plenty of room for my monitor and keyboard, a reading desk, and sofas for chilling or napping. The nearby White River State Park trail is great for distance runs (14 miles round trip) - flat and straight as an arrow.
We had a great time and enjoyed our stay at this property very much. Kim and Tony answered our questions right away. Very nice place.

Everything you need
This cute, comfy, and clean little house has everything you need. We were in the area visiting family and this was the perfect home base for us. Owners are accommodating and responsive and even were very forgiving when we accidentally took a pair of their shoes home with us!

Peaceful lake getaway
We enjoyed this peaceful, quiet, clean getaway near Browns lake.
Though mid-winter, we were able to walk around the lake and neighborhood, a nice break from the work week.

Quiet and comfortable
We had a very nice stay. Loved the area. House was quiet and comfortable. Bed tended to sag in the middle though.

Great One-Bedroom Home
My wife and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. It's a very comfortable one-bedroom home with easy access to Brown's Lake (3-minute walk) and Lake Geneva just a 25-minute drive away. Burlington is also a cute town with a cool coffee shop. Overall, we had a great time.

Nice spot
Photos online were a little miss leading. Made us feel like the place was on the lake. When in fact it was .25 mile away. But nice inside

Very nice little cottage
My husband and I stayed here for 6 days in late October, so it was too chilly to really appreciate the lake and the beautiful surroundings, but I'm sure a summer stay would be delightful. It was clean and well stocked with cooking utensils. The reclining couches were very comfortable, as was the bed. Nice grocery stores and restaurants nearby in Burlington. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Cute, clean house
The house was the perfect place for our mother-daughter get-a-way. It was very clean, had everything needed and was close to places of interest in the area. I would definitely recommend to others staying in the area.

Comfortable and accomodating
The cottage was in great shape and had all of the necessities you needed when wanting to have a relaxing retreat from the city. My friends and I loved having the beach nearby, as well as a bonfire pit - we certainly had our day full with fun activities! Thank you so much for offering the home to us!

Perfect weekend spot!
We loved this little house on Brown's lake for a weekend getaway. Lake Geneva was only a 20 minute Uber away, and in the morning walking down to Brown's lake was beautiful. Our only criticism is that this definitely cannot sleep up to 6, unless one of your 6 wants to sleep in the basement that doesn't connect to the main house, even then we'd say maximum 5 people. There is one big couch, one loveseat, and one queen bed in the house itself.
Overall though, 5 stars no question. The price was perfect, and for two friends the size was very comfortable. We will definitely look at this property in the future!

Perfect stay at Browns Lake
Just spent nine fabulous days at this pretty cosy cottage. We had everything we needed and more. We loved our days at the private lake just a minutes walk away. Lots to do there for our eleven year old daughter who loved swimming in the clear water. Evenings were spent with the barbecue around the firepit watching the fireflys light up. Lots to do from visits to twin lakes, lake Geneva and Burlington. The house was so well maintained, everything you need for a lengthy stay. Thank you so much we had the best time.

Cozy Lake House
Visited the house for a long weekend with our family of 4. The house is incredibly well kept and has everything you could need. Its just down the street from a cute park and beach. We brought our boat and enjoyed our days on the lake. I would definitely recommend this home.

Quiet and peace in a very comfortable cabin
The place was really nice, fully equipped, central heating (making it a year-round vacation spot). The cabin was super clean and well maintained, you could enjoy it the minute you walked in. I had one question and the response was fast, so everything was perfect!!The only thing that did not meet my expectations was the fireplace, since it is the gas one with the background screen. It still gets 5 stars since it was just a detail, my experience was excellent anyway since we had a bonfire in the beautiful back yard to make up for it.I will go back there again, this cabin will be always special to me since we got engaged there that weekend For future travellers, don't think twice and book this place if you want a peaceful time without having to worry about anything!Thanks KimJosie

About the host
Hosted by Kim Belehradek
We've been coming to Brown's Lake for over 5 years. Have made some awesome memories at this lake. We are a blended family with 6 kids. Which is why we are now offering our little place to others - kids activities are making it harder for us to get there as much as we would like. We call this home our Sanctuary and truly love it!
What makes this property unique
The house is small but has good size kitchen, family room and bathroom. There is plenty of room for an air mattress on the main floor. There is only one bedroom; however the family room has two sofa beds (actually recline to beds). There is plenty of room for a family yet cozy enough for just the two of you! There is a cute little downtown area in Burlington. Enjoy long walks or bike rides or just sit back and relax!
