Relaxing Waterfront Home on Elm Island Great Fishing on Lake Tichigan/Fox River

Beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath home on Elm Island bay off of the Fox River in Waterford, WI. This home has all of the charm of an up-north cabin, but is fully updated and just a short 30 minute drive from Milwaukee and less than an hour from Chicago's northern suburbs. Single story home with little to no stairs required to get to the water less than twenty steps from the back door. Wood burning stove and tongue and groove pine finishes give you that up north feel, but all of the updates will make you feel right at home. Laundry on the living level and two full bathrooms offer convenience and comfort. Sleeping arrangements for 10 if needed: Master bedroom features a queen size memory foam bed, 2nd bedroom facing the water has a bunk bed with full size mattress on the bottom and a twin on the top, 3rd bedroom has a bunk bed with full size mattress on the bottom and a twin on the top, and living room couch pulls out into a queen size sleeper sofa. Kitchen table seating for six or seven people, with additional stools and eating area at the island. All kitchen appliances are less than 5 years old, including refrigerator, stove, and over the range microwave. Bring your fishing poles and swim trunks - the Fox River and Lake Tichigan are abundant with Largemouth Bass and Catfish, and provide plenty of opportunity for Bluegills, Northern Pike, Walleye, and an occasional Trout. Lake Tichigan is great for swimming or boating, and there are more than one restaurants accessible by boat and provide docking. Bring your own boat and keep it on the private pier or take advantage of the two complimentary kayaks. Elm Island bay is a shallow low-traffic bay off of the Fox River and is home to swans and abundant wildlife. Fishermen frequent the bay in search of Largemouth Bass, Bluegills, and Catfish, all of which can be caught right from the pier. Swimming in Elm Island Bay (off the pier) is not desirable due to shallow water, lillypads, weeds and mucky bottom. In the evening you can have a fire in the back yard or in the house, but the furnace will keep you warm if desired or central air is there to cool you down. Ultra-fast 60 Mbps Wi-Fi and 46" LED TV will keep you entertained if the fishing and lake cannot. YouTube TV HD with approximately 80 channels available and also HD upconvert DVD player. Please come relax and enjoy all that the beautiful Fox River and Lake Tichigan have to offer year-round.

This Elm Island home was perfect for our 6 adults and 4 toddlers. The living area was roomy with enough seating to accommodate our group. Kitchen had lots of counter space, and backyard was fenced to corral the dog. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Spent the weekend with family. Awesome that we were able to bring the dogs. The place was cute and cozy. Plenty of room for the six of us. Enjoyed fishing from the pier, and watching all of the wildlife. Would recommend this home, and would definitely go back.

This place has everything you need, want and desire in a perfect getaway on the lake. It was the perfect amount of space for my family of 6 and our dog. Grant is super easy to communicate with and great at answering any questions I had. It was exactly what we needed. Extremely grateful for the opportunity to stay here. We can't wait to come back!!
