An excellent property

I was very impressed with this property. It was cozy and comfortable. Great kitchen and huge island for preparing and eating meals. The hot tub was an excellent touch. The fire pit had ample seating and was well-maintained. Only two minor observations - the water pressure in the shower wasn't great, and the owners could definitely stand to upgrade the grill. But neither of those things negatively impacted our stay. I highly recommend this property for a single family or a group of friends. I would definitely go back!

The place is stunning. Super clean and open. The owners are super nice and communicating with them was easy. It was so easy to settle in and feel right at home. The views are gorgeous any time of day. It is definitely a place I’d love to go back. This was a family trip but I’d also love to do a girls trip here. I can’t speak highly enough about this home or the owners.

Wonderful trip!

We had an absolute blast at this lake house and the surrounding areas. The house was gorgeous on the inside and outside. We were able to kayak, rent the owner’s pontoon boat for a day, and use the hot tub. The only thing we didn’t do on the property was use the fire pit, but that was only because it stormed just about every night we were there. The weather was gorgeous during the day though. We also loved exploring the surrounding areas as everything is less than 30 minutes away. That included going to North Beach in Racine (highly recommend), hiking at Bender Park (gorgeous!), renting a jet ski in Oak Creek, and getting carryout from local restaurants.

Superb Getaway

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous restored cottage by the water! All was portrayed accurately by Vrbo photos and description. Meal prep was made considerably comfortable by the set up of the spacious kitchen area, along with the excellent appliances. The temperature of the hot tub and comfort were amazingly relaxing! We had one issue with the grill, but John came to the rescue, which enabled us to proceed with our dinner plans. All in all, a positive five-star experience!

Adorable riverfront cottage

We had a lovely time staying at this adorably decorated cottage! The amenities were great. We used the hot tub frequently, enjoyed the owner’s pontoon rental, and played cornhole as a family. The owner was easily accessible, and we made friends with the neighbors as well. The cottage is located on the Fox River near the mouth of Tichigan Lake, so while the immediate frontage was a bit mucky, we were able to swim in the nearby lake, explore the wildlife around the river, and watch the boaters go by from the porch. A great weekend!
