Very clean. Only recommend maybe a luggage rack in bathroom area or hooks there to hang our towels or clothes while getting ready. Maybe a heads up on the grill. Thought it was gas but actually charcoal. All in all, we can always find something WE would do but it was a wonderful stay. It was so lovely to wake up every morning to the beautiful sunrise, the peace, just the beauty of the peninsula. Craig was very responsive when we had a question about something. We would love to stay again. Its far enough away to feel like we were upnorth without a 4 hour drive. Also, the park down the road was great for a long walk along the lake. Its a beautiful park.

Cozy & Cute Lake House

Overall this was a good trip to get away and spend time by the water and relax.Craig was very responsive when I reached out and resolved the issue quickly. The house is set on a small peninsula area which made it feel like my own private space. The location is nice and not a far drive for me at all. It has an “up north” feel, yet within 10 minutes you can find a ton of stores/restaurants. It has good air conditioning (a necessity on 90 days), a cute little patio off the bedroom on the second floor, and a full kitchen which made it easy to prepare meals. I loved that there was a bonfire pit and grill available to use.A couple things that could be improved upon: Lots of bugs (flies, spiders, large ants) in the house the whole time (even after taking care of several myself), more than I was expecting there to be.The area around the pier had a lot of seaweed which made it hard to comfortably swim. Also the last step on the pier ladder was very slippery, so getting up and down was a bit challenging. Overall I enjoyed my time of peacefulness & relaxation at the little lake house!

Not quite what we were expecting

My husband & I reserved this place for our wedding anniversary. But unfortunately we left early, for a few reasons. Pros: It’s a cute old stucco with a really gorgeous view of the lake on a unique property. -Tons of bird watching (Eagles, pelicans, ducks, etc). -A nice long dock with a bench for fishing or just enjoying the views. -Plenty of room in the yard to plop down a lawn chair & relax while listening to the waves. -Quiet & peaceful. Cons: The house itself, the deck & the balcony are in need of some general TLC. -The grill was filthy & we had to buy a grill brush to clean it. (Bring some charcoal if you plan to use it) -The fire pit needs to be dug out & cleaned up. -No fire wood provided, BYO -We had two large, angry carpenter bees inside when we arrived (I’m allergic). -The bathroom, specifically the toilet/shower is tiny, not user friendly & awkward. - Queen mattress was extremely hard/uncomfortable. - During a particularly bad rain storm, water was pouring in through the top of the doorframe between the kitchen a bathroom area. The next day the mildew smell was excessive. We decided to call it the next morning & go home. If you want rustic in the true sense, this is it. We expected something else from viewing the photos/description. But in the end, sadly, this just wasn’t our cup of tea.

Really nice getaway

So the property was really clean and nicely secluded. All the amenities were as described. The one thing that was a bit of a challenge in our minds was that the bedroom is upstairs but the bathroom was on the lower level at the backside of the kitchen, so trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night aren’t easy. They do have several nightlights though that helped. The other thing to note is window treatments in the bedroom. For those that like to rise with the sun, you will have no problem. But those late risers will need eye masks or like to sleep under the covers because they’re not room darkening blinds. Lol! We had a great time though watching the bald Eagle across the cove and enjoying nearby dining establishments like Schmitty’s (best lobster bisque I’ve ever had) and Sunset grill! Oshkosh and Elkhart Lake are easy drives as well. Great place to make some memories!

Relaxing Little Lake House

The Little Lake House was a relaxing and quiet get away. The location is beautiful and the property is exactly as it’s named: a modest house that had everything we needed for 2 people. We enjoyed listening to the birds and ducks in the morning, watching the sunrise, hanging by the lake, and having fires at night. The kitchen is nice so we made a lot of our own meals. We were able to drop our kayak and paddle board in using the dock (a little climbing necessary but doable) and paddled around, but the shoreline has a lot of seaweed so it’s not really fit for swimming or floating. There were a lot of cobwebs on the outside surfaces though so we had to do some cleaning to feel comfortable. A couple logistical things about the house: 1) The bedroom is upstairs while the bathroom is downstairs across the house. If you’re someone who uses the bathroom at night, this poses a challenge. There is a pullout couch in the living room though. 2) Most windows have no curtains or blinds. This didn’t really bother us though as the house is tucked away enough that it feels private enough. When we weren’t at the house, we enjoyed visiting Lakeside Park with an old restored lighthouse and some local establishments with good seafood. Overall we enjoyed our time there.

LOVELY LAKE VIEWS

My husband & I were impressed by the online pictures of this property. It is a lovely little getaway with impressive views of the lake and nearby eagles nest which we enjoyed viewing for the 3 days we were there. We brought our kayaks to launch, but unfortunately there is no good place on this shoreline to do so. Craig was very helpful in directing us where we could launch them (Wayside up the road about a mile) and that worked out perfectly. Since it is so early in the season, we had the lake to ourselves! Although we can see many updates have been done to this vintage home, there were some things that we feel could use some maintenance & upkeep (which have been noted in reviews before going back a couple years). The decking, picnic table and upper floor balcony really need a good sanding & re-staining. The railing on the upper balcony is severely rotted and doesn't appear safe. Paint on the outside of the home is cracked & peeling in places. The lawn/landscaping, firepit area and shoreline are in need of mowing & trimming. The long standing issue with no curtains on many windows (including the bathroom & toilet area!) made us uncomfortable and as mentioned before, there is no privacy between the kitchen and the bathroom sink - a simple floor length curtain would help. Very small shower/toilet area with no safety rail and only 1 small towel rack in the sink area. Certainly a unique property but all of these unfortunately detracted from us giving a 5 Star rating.

I had been looking for a local getaway for me, myself and I. In viewing photos and location, I was immediately drawn to the Little Lake House. My stay of 6 days was during the 1st week of January and it was very cold. The sunrises over the frozen lake from the balcony were stunning and the snow that gently fell on the property was beautiful. Warm, cozy, and charming on the inside with the fireplace on, my work days almost seemed fun! Will definitely be back to enjoy the warmer weather outside! Barb
