🌲☀️Private Lakefront prop. With Kayaks And Paddleboard Boat Rental Optional☀️🌲

This PREMIER PROPERTY is called About Time, celebrate spending time together with your favorite people. Time is the best gift we can give one another. Sleeps 16 comfortably but could accommodate up to 20 if you want to sleep on couches. This 5 bedrooms (2 downstairs), 3 bath house on Lake Elizabeth, has a large yard for lawn games, private pier, basketball court, corn hole, LOTS of games and is surrounded by a gorgeous conservation area with 1.7 miles of hiking trails - true beauty!

For swimming, we recommend taking the boat to the sand bar on the south side of the lake or driving to Twin Lakes beach on Lake Mary 5 minutes north.

A gormet Chef is available if desired, otherwise, grill out back or down by the water, relax in the hammock or fish off the pier, whatever your fancy - swimming in this spring fed lake offers the best of the best. Bring your rafts and water toys. Only 1 bar/restaurant (Sand Bar) on the lake, so it is quieter and with 750 acres, perfect for water skiing and fishing. Catch the water ski show on Wednesday and Saturdays @ 6:00 during the Summer in Twin Lakes, WI.

We love to recommend out favorite Yoga instructor and massage therapist for the girls getaways and Twin Lakes Boat Rental for the boys boat fun.
They deliver directly to our dock.

Lake Geneva is 15 minutes away and worth the drive for a paddleboat tour. Alpine Valley is 12 minutes away, Wilmot ski hill is 7 minutes away, Six Flags and Gurnee Outlet Mall is 25 minutes away. It's About Time you enjoy the place as much as we do. Welcome!

No Smoking or prom parties, please. Majority of guests should be over the age of 25. We have a lot of love for this place and want our guests to feel the same and take care of it as it was their own!

Small reception parties are ok but we don’t have parking for weddings or groups over 50 people

My family and I were celebrating my sister's 70th birthday . There were 18 of us in total. Six were children. The house was big enough to accommodate all of us. The rooms were non traditional in the basement but my family enjoyed where they slept and had no complaints. The teenagers truly enjoyed the large yard, the hot tub and the fire pit. The very young children enjoyed the space to just run and play. My sister and I just enjoyed being together for two nights with our family and looking at the beautiful view. It was rainy and cold so we could not do any lake activities but there were many things we could have done that are listed. The host,Jeff was fantastic. He was easy to contact and answered every question I had. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay with a large group. You can do very little as we chose to do or entertain yourself in a variety of ways. We all had a great stay and hope to do it again. .

Quick family getaway

This was a solid place for a bit of a family reunion for a couple of days! The ac was a bit wonky (warm upstairs, while the downstairs was the Arctic), but it didn't deter from us enjoying ourselves. Loved the mulberry trees! We were able to dock our boat at the pier but couldn't load it there because the area was too shallow, so it was a 5-10 min walk down to a better area to board. Great yard, quiet neighborhood. Owner was responsive to questions.

Family gathering for my large family.

We booked the house for 12 adults and 2 children for four nights. Communication was perfect with Jeff and he gave us good advice on where to rent the pontoon and where to have some delicious meals. Check out the restaurant next to the boat rental. Fresh fish was the nights special for dinner. Twin lakes boat rental dropped off and delivered the pontoon right at the edge of the water. Same with the return. We all caught plenty of fish. All of us had a bed to sleep in and plenty of space with each other. The family room is big and spaciousness and the back yard is incredibly large to play some games in or to just sit out by the water. I have read the reviews about spider webs outside and yes there are spider webs but they seem like the kind to return if you brush them right off, which is what we did. The basement is colder than the first floor but that is exactly how my house is too in the summer time. Jeff was kind enough to let us check in early and that was a real gift. My grown kids live all over the place and it was nice that they didn't have to deal with rush hour to get to the house since Jeff let us in earlier. We arrived, loaded the refrigerator and went back out to have fun. l'll add that if you have a toddler bring your own high chair or booster seat and a gate to prevent them from going into the basement. I would rent again from Jeff. We were comfortable, plenty of parking in the circular driveway and his kindness really mattered. Thanks Jeff.

Nice spot

This was a beautiful property location with a lovely great room. The host is very responsive. There are truly 4 bedrooms and the others are spaces with beds in them which worked ok for us. Also the mater bathroom has a ‘curtain’ into the bathroom and not a door. Otherwise we enjoyed the view and the house.

The lakehouse super nice, owner communicated well, overall Good experience. A bit of feedback because the coffee machine was missing the pot so we had to go out to buy some. It was also a bit dusty. Check out was 11am and I received a text at 8:30am that cleaning crew was on the way so it felt rushed. Also, I would rather pay a cleaning fee (I understand garbage being taken out and cleaning up tables). Overall nice experience and owner did let us know jacuzzi was a bit stained from leaves so we didnt end up using.

Wonderful lake week with friends

This house was great for housing a large group of people. We had 7 adults and 8 kids and all slept well. Location was good, boat rental was easy. The listing online needs some updating as the check out time is 11 not 12, the wifi codes are incorrect in the listing etc. but all minor things, we would definitely stay again.

Weather at the lake is always unpredictable but my family and I had a great time despite some rain. The house offers an open floor plan to allow large group gatherings on the main floor. The lower level has several rooms and game areas. The decks on main and lower level offer great lake views and some privacy. The lawn is huge - great for wiffel ball, croquet, bocce ball.
