About this property

Entire place

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.

Great house

We had a family crew of close to 20 people. We really enjoyed fishing off the pier, playing baseball in the big yard, kayaking out to the open lake, and just hanging out in the open kitchen/living room. Would recommend for big groups. Great host, quick responses.

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.

Summer Trip

The property was exactly as described and Jeff was a great host. Space is great and plenty of room for our party to spread out. Bonus was location next to the Sand Bar as we were able to drop our boat there and in less than a minute be at the house where we were able to keep it.

Bad weather But good time

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. Great sunsets

Wonderful Lake House

The cottage is just like pictures. Jeff was very attentive and let us drop off things early. We had 19 people stay one night. There is extra mattress and we brought a blow up one. The morning view is lovely. It was April so didn’t go into water. Used the fire pit for sing along w/ guitar. Will come back Tip: basement room with window is nice- quiet enough and best view of all the bedrooms. Front room big so everyone can hang! Thanks Jeff

Family get together

We had about 20 extended family members for a winter get together, on a Saturday afternoon. The house met our needs perfectly- we made many great memories, shared across generations. Jeff was very easy to work with and communicative, u would recommend for anyone looking for an easy, chill time.

Great owner, outdated house

Owner was very responsive and welcoming upon arrival. The house itself is very open concept and ideal for the summertime where you aren’t spending a lot of time in the house. The house itself, however, wasn’t ideal. The kitchen and main living room area are great. Improvements can be made in the living room where the tv doesn’t have basic cable and an outdated smart tv that really only works with the Roku ‘Live TV’ free channels that nobody watches. Bathrooms are littered with personal belongings in the closets, but towels for the showers are located out in the hallways. Refrigerator in the basement is filled with leftover food/venison in the freezer, which is odd. A lot of personal belongings and personal items, pictures of the owner and his family hang throughout the house. A fine house which was reasonably priced, but the vibe felt more like we were couch surfing in somebody else’s house rather than a welcoming vacation rental prepared for guests. Hot tub didn’t work, and the owner said he would notify his ‘hot tub guy’, but we never heard back. With kids in our family, the hot tub was the main reason we booked this house in the wintertime. I would probably decrease the price/night for future guests if the house is kept at this standard in the winter months.

Family Christmas Party

Wonderful location directly on the water. Well stocked and clean. Great location for quality family time. Peaceful in the winter I bet it’s even more fun in the summer. Sandbar marina and restaurant right down the lake and they will deliver a rental pontoon. We will go back in the summer. Hot tub was very nice.

Great place and great host!

If you are thinking about booking this place - do it! Especially for bigger groups, the price is worth it. The main floor was big enough for all of us to hang out in and the lake view is *chefs kiss*. We will be back for another family reunion. Thank you Jeff!

Lake Geneva wedding

The house was just as advertised. Perfect for a large group. The main floor kitchen and open family room was where we spent most of our indoor time. The game room was a lot of fun. Ping pong and foosball were very popular. The hot tub was a big hit and enjoyed by many in our group. We would definitely come back. Jeff, the host was very helpful.

Great outdoor space with lake access

This house worked great for our large group (17 total). The house had everything we needed. The best part of the property was the outdoor space from the elevated deck leading out to the dock. We spent the majority of the weekend outside and ventured out to the lake each day. Good communication with the owner leading up to and during our stay.

Great experience

Very nice property, beautiful clean lake with good swimming and good fishing. Huge yard. Nice cold basement, great place to sleep in the summer. Very well stocked, owner, very helpful and knowledgeable giving good recommendations for the area. Had a pontoon boat delivered to the dock for the week, that was very easy.

Great spot

Perfect place to stay for a surprise birthday weekend. We were able to utilize the game room, the kayaks and had a pontoon delivered. Jeff made communication easy and had us reach out with the any questions. Overall the place was clean, the outside furniture could use a wipe down or spray just cobwebs and such. We would would definitely stay again!

For a group of 12-14 with small children or 10-12 adults, this is a comfortable space with a large living room, a great view of the lake and dock access for boating. The area is nice with lot of small towns nearby and nice places to hike nearby

Perfect place for a friends celebration!

This house and location were just what we needed to celebrate a couple of our friends turning 40. The house had everything we needed to grill out and to cook food. The view was beautiful! We had a huge group and there was space for everyone to play games or sit around a chat. The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. Everyone loved the house and we had a great time. We added more memories to our big list of group outings that we have all shared together. I highly recommend this house and location looking for a relaxing getaway.

Spring Break 2023

Our family and friends had a Spring Break. Even our pets too! The lake is beautiful & the sunset is just breathtaking. Although it’s chilly outside, the Lake House has plenty of activities for all ages. We enjoyed the hot tub especially at night with spectacular sky full of stars. There’s not a thing that we need that isn’t in the house. Jeff made sure that we’re going to have a great time & he delivered.
