Stable Waters House
Escape to tranquility at our updated ranch house, nestled on serene stable grounds and skirted by a picturesque horse pasture. Enjoy the expansive lawn, a peaceful pond, and the beauty of being surrounded by lush trees. This charming retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities. Located right across the street from Lake Kampeska, enjoy easy access to multiple public lake and family beach areas, all within 1-3 miles.
*Idyllic Setting*: Watch horses graze in the picturesque pasture, take a walk through our private nature paths, or relax on the porch overlooking the pond & grounds. Enjoy watching wildlife meandering about from your window. Guests say that it feels like a hidden sanctuary here. *Location*: Stable Waters offers the perfect balance of seclusion & convenience. Enjoy nearby restaurants, shops, & local attractions (either around Lake Kampeska or within a short drive into town), OR simply unwind in your own peaceful retreat. *Modern Comforts*: Our ranch house is fully updated with modern amenities & a fully stocked kitchen, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay. *Nature's Beauty*: The house is enveloped by trees & set back from the stable, providing a serene and private atmosphere. *Outdoor Activities*: Perfect for close access to lake activities (fishing, boating, swimming), walking/biking the lake bike path (the house is only steps away), strolling our nature trails out back, or simply enjoying the breathtaking views. For hunters, we are 5 miles from the nearest walk in game production area. For fishermen, multiple lakes in the area are popular for fishing all year round. We have plenty of space for you to park your boat(s) & ice houses. For horse owners, we have a 5 stall barn and can discuss horse boarding options and fees prior, pending availability. We have plenty of room for your trailer outside the barn. Whether you’re looking to unwind in nature, enjoy lake activities, or simply relax in a peaceful setting, our ranch house offers the perfect escape. Book now and experience the charm and tranquility of our picturesque retreat. Guest Access: The entire house is yours with the exception of locked utility rooms/closets (this is where things like the sump pumps live. You’re not missing out on anything ;) ) Guests have access to the porches, patio & outdoor furniture and are welcome to use the grill for cooking. While guest(s) are not permitted to enter the stable or pasture, or feed horses without permission from Host/Stable Waters management; if the horses come to the [non-electric] fence line, you are welcome to give them pets & love. If we are around tending to the property or caring for our own horses “Crow” & “Ramsey” - pending timing & availability, we love to invite guests over to see the barn & feed them a few treats. We also have 3 cherished stable cats: “Peanut Butter”, “Alice”, & “Jefferson B Sherbert”. They happily reside in the barn and tack room, which we’ve made cozy just for them. “Peanut Butter”, in particular, enjoys exploring on nice days & is incredibly affectionate to all humans young & old. Feel free to love and pet them if you see them as well. If they ever become a bother or you have any concerns, please let us know. We’ll ensure they’re put safely back inside the barn (sometimes they accidentally get left out when a boarder visits their horse). Rest assured, we make sure they’re safe and snug in the barn at night and during bad weather. Other things to Note: SAFETY NOTE (POND, 3-SIDE OPEN FIREPLACE, EQUINE FACILITY ON PREMISES): Before booking, especially if you have small children, please note that the pond is 100 ft from the house, as well as a horse pasture partially fenced with electric fencing.

The house and grounds are simply amazing and so cozy! You have everything you need there for a very comfortable stay and if you love cats you cant find any sweeter host kitties to keep you company. The way the house sits on the property you feel as if you are in your own little world, not right accross from the lake and all the activity there. 10/10 will stay again!

Sisters Birthday Gathering
Everything was perfect! We had a gathering to celebrate a 70th birthday. The house was just what we needed for our little get away. The living room and that huge sectional was perfect! We ordered Qdoba out of Watertown and enjoyed a stressfree dinner. We even got across the road to enjoy the lake. My only recommendation would be a better sign at the entrance. Some people missed the turn. Overall, I would highly recommend this place.

Peaceful and quiet
This was a perfect location for our family to meet. The house was clean and exactly as pictured. There was plenty of room to relax and cook. The property was quiet, well kept, and had lots of room for the kids to run around and play. We loved being able to see the animals. We hope to stay again and plan to bring our bikes!
