Relaxing Lake Home on the Edge of Kettle Moraine State Forest

Unique secluded 2 level lake home on the edge of Kettle Moraine State Forest with fantastic views of the lake and state park. Relax and enjoy nature in the area. Property located in a wooded area on Rice Lake which is within walking distance to Whitewater Lake. This 3 bedroom home comes fully equiped for a relaxing stay in a beautiful country setting. The main level has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths leading out to a full deck facing the lake. A spiral staircase leads to the lower level family room with a full bath and walk out patio. Property is a reasonable drive from major metro areas like Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, Janesville, Elkhorn and Lake Geneva. It is a true gem worth finding.

Long weekend getaway
This unique home was the perfect retreat for a long weekend. It was by far the most well stocked vrbo property we have ever stayed in and even included a fully stocked bar. They have really thought of everything inside the home and it was very clean especially for a pet friendly rental. The lake and dock were perfect for launching our paddle board and relaxing. The location is quiet and secluded, but still close to restaurants and other attractions. Hosts were welcoming and responsive.

It was everything we wanted and more
We brought our 2 dogs and our adult kids and spouses joined us for Thanksgiving weekend. The house was spotless and had a very well equipped kitchen and comfortable seating for all. Plus the windows looked out over the lake and the surrounding wooded landscape. Communication and check-in was seamless. We couldn't have been more content and we felt like we had found a treaure.

Great people and nice location/set up. It was 80-90 degrees during our stay. AC is only in the bedroom. Living room was 81 and rather hot. But....weather can't be controlled. Will be back for a longer stay.

Perfect for the dogs and their humans
Dog here - We had a great time. The lake was beautiful and we spent a lot of time on the deck with our humans. Whitewater was close so the humans weren't gone long when they went for dinner or to get groceries. We hiked the Ice Age trail every day and there were many trailheads nearby so we visited a different segment every day. The house was clean and looked very nice. The kitchen had everything my humans needed to cook. And they got a cute welcome gift. I hope we all go back.

Pleasant and very comfortable lake home
The owners have created a very comfortable and pleasantly appointed lake home. Great communication - although much wasn’t truly needed. Rooms were very comfortable and although we didn’t use the lower floor, it had plenty of extra room to spread out. Quite warm extended weekend so we mostly stayed indoors and the A/C certainly did an excellent job keeping us comfortable with ease. Thoughtful gift basket presented itself upon our arrival and I don’t think that we truly needed more than what this beautiful place had to offer. Thank you both for allowing us the use of the property for the holiday weekend and I would certainly recommend the lake house to others without question.

Wonderful getaway on the lake!
We wanted a getaway for our family of 3 kids and 2 dogs and this was just perfect! The house is right on the lake with lovely views all around and we were welcomed with a sweet gift basket! Every corner of the house is very nicely decorated - makes you feel at home immediately. The house is very well stocked - kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms - nothing lacking. There were even tons of magazines and reading material to just relax in the evenings! Lots of outdoor space for the kids and dogs to play. Oh the game room in the basement was a hit too with our kids! The view of the lake is just breathtaking. We loved our stay - very relaxing, just what we were looking for. Irene and Gene were such gracious hosts - they were prompt to respond and even stopped by to say hello on our way out. Thank you Irene and Gene for a lovely stay - we hope to be back soon!

Wonderful Get Away
We were thoroughly pleased with our visit. The pictures online don't do your home justice. Our wives really liked how you decorated the home. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the morning with our coffee and having a campfire at night. Being from Houston, we don't have the luxury of sleeping with the windows open. It is way too hot down here. What a treat it was to wake up to a cool morning and hear the sound of all the birds outside our window. I hope you are pleased with the condition we left your home. If we are in the area again, we would love to stay there again, if you will have us. Thank you Rich

Private lakeside home with stunning views
This lovely home sits on a hill with wonderful views of the lake but still has lots of trees and privacy. We saw deer at dawn and dusk every day and turkeys twice. The road was private with no traffic noise. The pictures don't do it justice. Inside the house was just as lovely. The square dining room table for 6 was great for our Thanksgiving dinner and also family board games. Much better than a rectangular table. The unexpected bonus was all the wonderful amenities. Lots of soft throws for snuggling by the fire, mountains of towels, tons of games, and the best stocked kitchen I've ever seen in a rental. Those touches truly made it feel like a home away from home, not a rental. A wonderful bonus was all the a

Hot but Nice August Stay
The home was clean, very well stocked, and the owner was responsive to questions and requests. The home is located on Rice Lake and is only a few minutes away from Whitewater for groceries and restaurants. The steps were challenging for the senior members, especially the steps going down to the lake. A little more closet and dresser space dedicated for guests instead of storage would be nice. The weather was hot with heat indexes in the triple digits. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, but didn't spend as much time on the deck or by the firepit as we would have liked because of the excessive heat. Overall we had a good time.

Park-Like Rental has it All
Our family had a great time at this property. We felt like we were staying in a park with areas to explore, a lake, beautifully maintained grounds - plus a super-comfy home. The owners communicated promptly and answered questions while we were there. This is a VERY well-stocked rental - kitchen, baths, lake recreation (inner-tubes, canoes, life jackets), firewood and roasting tools for the fire pit and much more. The layout made it easy for kids and adults to talk, goof around or nap anytime. They have well-maintained stairs heading down to the pier if you want to carry kayaks or canoes down. We had a GREAT time. Highly recommend.
