Boat launch about a mile away. 4 bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, flat screen tv's in the master bedroom and family room. OTA TV with full roster of channels from both Madison and Milwaukee markets. BYO streaming service.

High speed unlimited data internet available for flex work/home schooling.

Please note that this is a 'whole house' 1/2 of a duplex. This is a part of a rather unique duplex that offers maximum privacy with separate private decks, pellet/charcoal combo grill, separate entrances and HVAC systems.

I do require photo ID's for all adults 18 yo+ and the first names and ages of all children under 18 yo. This is used for emergency and liability reasons only. There are no exceptions to this requirement. All ID's are held securely for your protection.

The main renter must be 25 yo+. Please contact me for potential exceptions based on previous host recommendations.

Maximum occupancy is 8 people including infants and children due to rural septic limitations. Please do not ask for exceptions to this capacity. I will not be able to honor any requests for more than 8 people.

Parking on this residential driveway is limited to 3 vehicles including any boat or other trailers. all other vehicles must be parked off site. Park on the narrow residential road at your own risk. No parking is allowed on the grass or mound septic system.

please note that this is a NON-smoking property. if there are smokers in your group you will need to let them.know that they can't smoke in the home or the decks or within 20' of a door or window. All smoking materials must be disposed of on a fireproof device and cannot be thrown on the lawn, lake or any garbage container. If they are unable to comply there will be a $200 surcharge to cleanup any smoking related materials.

Pet friendly but pet owners must pick up waste immediately and dispose of it responsibly. Petsay not be left alone in the unit unless they are in a crate. I have an extra large crate for your use but you must bring you own pet bedding. No cats are allowed in the unit at any time.

Great place and location
We really enjoyed our stay here. We were in town for the Englewood Open MTB and it proved to be the perfect setup for our group. Lots of space within the rental, and a ton outside. It is right on the lake and the owner provides everything you need to enjoy the water. The owner was super communicative throughout. Would highly recommend!

Our family enjoyed fishing and spending time together here. The property had all the amenities needed for cooking and lots of indoor and outdoor games. There were only 4 of us but would it have been comfortable for a larger group as well.

SO well-equipped, Great hostess
There are some rentals where they give you barely enough (i.e. 3 towels, 12 knives, 4 spoons, and 1 fork) but that is NOT this rental. This rental seriously has MORE than ANYTHING you could need. We appreciated the abundance of towels/washcloths, eating utensils, outdoor seating, etc. The owner shares the duplex and should anything go wrong, I am confident she would make it right. She is a delightful person and wants to make sure your visit is more than you expect. She is very accommodating when plans change. And the VIEW! Loved looking out on the water and listening to all the birds. So relaxing, peaceful, and wonderful. Was a fantastic property to visit with our family, which was the whole point of our visit to WI. LOVED it all!

Relaxing get away
Nice location on lake. Kathy is very responsive, resourceful, and pleasant. Pretty much all you need is onsite, down to the spices and fully stocked Traeger. Just bring yourself, clothes and food for great time on the lake. We were in town for a family wedding, this was a perfect spot to host 8 of us. Kathy was very accomadative, would definitely return.

Summer vacation
Family of 4. Great place had separate rooms for everyone. Kathy told us of places to shop in town. She has menus of restaurants she recommends some with coupons attached. Very clean and well stocked kitchen. It was very hot and humid the week we went. Didn’t take advantage of fire pit or kayaks.

Kathy was extremely helpful and easy to deal with. Had menus from all great local places with notes for each with good information. She also had even more kayaks and boats then listed. Bring clothes and food because Kathy provided pretty much everything else we could ask for.

Wonderfully relaxing getaway
Kathy was a fantastic host. Her place is stocked with so many extra supplies. It’s a beautiful place with multiple outdoor sitting areas. The upper deck has a beautiful view of the lake, the lower deck has comfortable sitting areas. We enjoyed taking the paddle boat out on the lake, or making a fire and watching the sunset. The kitchen, living area, dining room table and bedrooms are quite spacious. We look forward to returning.
