Cozy & Cute Lake House

Overall this was a good trip to get away and spend time by the water and relax.Craig was very responsive when I reached out and resolved the issue quickly. The house is set on a small peninsula area which made it feel like my own private space. The location is nice and not a far drive for me at all. It has an “up north” feel, yet within 10 minutes you can find a ton of stores/restaurants. It has good air conditioning (a necessity on 90 days), a cute little patio off the bedroom on the second floor, and a full kitchen which made it easy to prepare meals. I loved that there was a bonfire pit and grill available to use.A couple things that could be improved upon: Lots of bugs (flies, spiders, large ants) in the house the whole time (even after taking care of several myself), more than I was expecting there to be.The area around the pier had a lot of seaweed which made it hard to comfortably swim. Also the last step on the pier ladder was very slippery, so getting up and down was a bit challenging. Overall I enjoyed my time of peacefulness & relaxation at the little lake house!

Lakeside getaway

This house is perfect if you’re looking for a getaway from the city and enjoy wildlife and sitting by the lake. We had a comfortable stay and were glad to see the house has central AC with these recent heat waves.

This is a nice little cottage on the lake.

We very much enjoyed our stay here, and will come back again. We really liked the privacy of this location. Its a great stay for a couple that wants to getaway. If I only knew what I know now, I would have rented it a few more nights. Thanks Craig, we will be back.

Great Rustic Getaway

Location was perfect for what we wanted, which was to bike and relax. Being lakeside, the bird watching was amazing, bald eagles, herons, osprey, pelicans! One note: being a rural property, the water is from a well so there is a smell.

Peaceful Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the Little Lake House. Response times were a little lacking from Management and we had to buy many needed items ourself as not enough were provided. Overall, it was very relaxing and just what the doctor ordered for the Holiday Weekend!

Nice location

Loved the location and views of the property. House was clean. The outside could use some upkeep. Paint and/or texture was peeling and the balcony could use some care. But all in all a nice place to stay, we would return to this property in the future. Owner did a great job of communicating.

Charming house in a great location

My husband and I brought our boat to fish but much of the weekend was rainy. Fortunately, the house is nice enough to hang out in (big TV w/free Netflix!) and we enjoyed watching the weather over the lake. Got out for a few hours and caught a nice walleye. Note that owner (and most places on Winnebago) don't allow overnight docking of boats as the shallow lake can get wild during storms. We used a nice boat launch north of the property. House is cozy and fun, but be sure you can manage the stairs, the bedroom and bathroom are on separate floors. The accommodations were very comfortable and the place is sufficiently equipped for cooking. Good size for two people but four would be a stretch. Craig is easy to deal with.

Really nice getaway

So the property was really clean and nicely secluded. All the amenities were as described. The one thing that was a bit of a challenge in our minds was that the bedroom is upstairs but the bathroom was on the lower level at the backside of the kitchen, so trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night aren’t easy. They do have several nightlights though that helped. The other thing to note is window treatments in the bedroom. For those that like to rise with the sun, you will have no problem. But those late risers will need eye masks or like to sleep under the covers because they’re not room darkening blinds. Lol! We had a great time though watching the bald Eagle across the cove and enjoying nearby dining establishments like Schmitty’s (best lobster bisque I’ve ever had) and Sunset grill! Oshkosh and Elkhart Lake are easy drives as well. Great place to make some memories!

Relaxing Little Lake House

The Little Lake House was a relaxing and quiet get away. The location is beautiful and the property is exactly as it’s named: a modest house that had everything we needed for 2 people. We enjoyed listening to the birds and ducks in the morning, watching the sunrise, hanging by the lake, and having fires at night. The kitchen is nice so we made a lot of our own meals. We were able to drop our kayak and paddle board in using the dock (a little climbing necessary but doable) and paddled around, but the shoreline has a lot of seaweed so it’s not really fit for swimming or floating. There were a lot of cobwebs on the outside surfaces though so we had to do some cleaning to feel comfortable. A couple logistical things about the house: 1) The bedroom is upstairs while the bathroom is downstairs across the house. If you’re someone who uses the bathroom at night, this poses a challenge. There is a pullout couch in the living room though. 2) Most windows have no curtains or blinds. This didn’t really bother us though as the house is tucked away enough that it feels private enough. When we weren’t at the house, we enjoyed visiting Lakeside Park with an old restored lighthouse and some local establishments with good seafood. Overall we enjoyed our time there.

Not quite what we were expecting

My husband & I reserved this place for our wedding anniversary. But unfortunately we left early, for a few reasons. Pros: It’s a cute old stucco with a really gorgeous view of the lake on a unique property. -Tons of bird watching (Eagles, pelicans, ducks, etc). -A nice long dock with a bench for fishing or just enjoying the views. -Plenty of room in the yard to plop down a lawn chair & relax while listening to the waves. -Quiet & peaceful. Cons: The house itself, the deck & the balcony are in need of some general TLC. -The grill was filthy & we had to buy a grill brush to clean it. (Bring some charcoal if you plan to use it) -The fire pit needs to be dug out & cleaned up. -No fire wood provided, BYO -We had two large, angry carpenter bees inside when we arrived (I’m allergic). -The bathroom, specifically the toilet/shower is tiny, not user friendly & awkward. - Queen mattress was extremely hard/uncomfortable. - During a particularly bad rain storm, water was pouring in through the top of the doorframe between the kitchen a bathroom area. The next day the mildew smell was excessive. We decided to call it the next morning & go home. If you want rustic in the true sense, this is it. We expected something else from viewing the photos/description. But in the end, sadly, this just wasn’t our cup of tea.

LOVELY LAKE VIEWS

My husband & I were impressed by the online pictures of this property. It is a lovely little getaway with impressive views of the lake and nearby eagles nest which we enjoyed viewing for the 3 days we were there. We brought our kayaks to launch, but unfortunately there is no good place on this shoreline to do so. Craig was very helpful in directing us where we could launch them (Wayside up the road about a mile) and that worked out perfectly. Since it is so early in the season, we had the lake to ourselves! Although we can see many updates have been done to this vintage home, there were some things that we feel could use some maintenance & upkeep (which have been noted in reviews before going back a couple years). The decking, picnic table and upper floor balcony really need a good sanding & re-staining. The railing on the upper balcony is severely rotted and doesn't appear safe. Paint on the outside of the home is cracked & peeling in places. The lawn/landscaping, firepit area and shoreline are in need of mowing & trimming. The long standing issue with no curtains on many windows (including the bathroom & toilet area!) made us uncomfortable and as mentioned before, there is no privacy between the kitchen and the bathroom sink - a simple floor length curtain would help. Very small shower/toilet area with no safety rail and only 1 small towel rack in the sink area. Certainly a unique property but all of these unfortunately detracted from us giving a 5 Star rating.

Maintenance required, filthy and substandard management when problems happened with the plumbing.

We have stayed in many VRBOs across the country over the years and have had very positive experiences. When we arrived at the cabin, we loved the view, it was by far the best part. But, we were surprised at how poorly maintained the exterior and interior were. It needs a good power washing, fresh paint and new windows. The cleanliness of the interior was certainly sub par, especially given COVID. The refrigerator was empty but dirty, the windows needed to be washed, the cabinets and appliances had not been wiped down and everything just looked dirty. The bathroom was a nightmare for a family of 4 with two teenagers. There was no door on the room with a sink and a separate toilet/shower did have a door. Without a door in the main area of the bathroom, there was no wear for us to change due to lack of privacy and the impossibility of changing in the bathroom with toilet and shower due to it being extremely small. Upon showering, there was not even a bath mat to safely get out of the shower and it was very slippery. The water smelled like sulfur from the moment we walked in the door. On our last night, my son took a shower at 9:30 and the water would not shut off. I called and then texted the landlord. He arrived quickly but was not friendly or apologetic. He shut off all the water in the home and did not offer any kind of refund or compensation for the inconvenience, and also, we have received no contact after we left the next morning to discuss. Very disappointing. We left the next morning without having water to go to the bathroom and flush the toilet, brush our teeth or shower. It was an awful way to end our trip. I am still waiting for our deposit to be returned and it has been 2 days. I am not one to leave negative reviews, I only leave positive ones, but this was an unacceptable experience.
