As you step into the slate foyer, you're greeted by the elegance of double beech wood staircases leading to two separate upstairs bedroom suites. An artisan chandelier illuminates the 20-foot grand foyer, setting the tone for the opulence that awaits. Throughout the 5000 sq. ft. modern "lodge," Amish-milled cherry wood flooring creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The natural blending of various woods and textures, including travertine, granite, maple, basswood, and leather, adds to the richness of the space. The high cathedral great room serves as the focal point, featuring a patterned slate fireplace and two sets of patio doors leading to the deck overlooking the yard and bay. The open dining area and kitchen provide the perfect setting for gatherings, while the large screened-in porch offers an ideal spot for entertaining and enjoying the summer breeze.
Each bedroom suite boasts its own full bath, television, and window views from the extended sitting/reading room. The master bedroom offers private access to the deck, a walk-in closet, gas fireplace with sitting couch, and a luxurious whirlpool tub and shower. The lower level features a spacious walk-out recreation room with a wet bar and another fireplace.
Dock your boat in the quiet, protected bay just beyond the natural wooded shoreline for the duration of your stay. Explore the area's miles of connected trails with your bikes, hiking shoes, snowmobiles, or ATVs. Nearby attractions include state and county parks, canoeing, horseback riding, hiking, cross-country skiing, and more. And don't miss out on visiting the Sparta-Elroy Bicycle Trail, Necedah Wildlife Refuge, House on the Rock, or Frank Lloyd Wright homes.
After a perfect day of adventures, indulge in star-filled skies, fireside chats, and roasted marshmallows around a peaceful campfire. Come and enjoy this escape to nature in luxurious comfort.

Christmas Get-away
We could not have asked for a better house to celebrate our family Christmas! The house is beautiful! The kitchen is stocked with anything you could think of including crock pots, an air fryer (downstairs), ice maker, spices, Tupperware for left overs, the list goes on. The bedrooms are very large and the mattresses are comfortable. We never ran out of hot water or towels. The air mattress was a nice surprise. The house had plenty to keep us entertained, but we really enjoyed our walks down by the lake. For this time of year, the house was perfect for us!

Beautiful house - had a wonderful stay
Beautiful house - each bedroom had its own bathroom which made it convenient for our group of married couples. Kitchen was also well-stocked. We had an issue with the fireplace not working in the master bedroom but other than that, the stay was great. The deposit policy though is a bit odd. You pay it with your credit card then they reimburse it back to you a month later via check. I’ve never encountered that from a rental on VRBO.

Large home
Very large space and was clean when we stayed. Yard has flat areas good for playing outdoors. We would stay again.
One note is that this area generally has a lot of bugs so make sure to bring bug spray!

The house was large, spacious and included everything it was advertised to be. The Property Manager was very responsive and helpful through the entire rental process.
One drawback was that there is limited boat slip parking. If planning to bring more than one boat there is no space to park as there is no lakefront access in front of the house.
In addition, the house is located in a very undeveloped area and online maps show no neighbors within 200 yards which was one reason we selected this home. Upon arrival we discovered that there is a neighbor located to the west in very close proximity to the home.

Boating Vacation
Everything was good…bugs are insane!
The walk to boat dock and quality of water surrounding dock was undesirable.
The depth was also 1.8’ in most places heading out to main water.
