Great Place To Stay on Green Lake

Clean, fresh and very accurate to AD pics. Owner, Mary, called when check-in was ready, helped with needing power at the boat dock. Perfect place with a dock on the water if you are there for the Lake.

Fantastic lake place!

I recently stayed at a charming lake house in Green Lake, WI, with my 14-year-old son while we attended the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh. Our experience was fantastic! Working with Mary, the host, was a pleasure—she was incredibly helpful and responsive. The house itself was adorable and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the peaceful location and the beautiful lake views. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area.

Clean, cozy, comfortable, convenient!

We were looking for a nice little space to stay while in Green Lake for a boat reunion. This rental ended up being absolutely perfect! A private dock for our boat, steps away from shops and restaurants (yet, situated on a quiet street) and a small, converted garage that was larger than we expected, clean and cute— we found the perfect place for us! Mary was great and so is her place.

Cozy and Comfy in Green Lake

My wife and I loved this converted garage space. It's a one bedroom with a small kitchen, but the layout makes it feel bigger. We usually go for 2 BR places, but had no issues with room spending a week here. All appliances are in great condition and the convenience of the location is unbeatable. We chatted briefly with the property manager and her assistant and both could not have been friendlier. A fantastic stay!

Quick getaway.

Great little place for a getaway for a small town vibe with great golf and small town experience. Property is as described. Very well decorated and gives a small cottage feel that is very comfortable. Easy check in. Relaxing atmosphere. The town is very walkable and has good food options. People in town come from all over for vacation. Lots of Illinois folks. The people that work and live in green lake full time are very friendly.

The Lily Pad

Adorable place! Walking distance to downtown. Neighborhood was quiet. We had everything that we needed. Storm came thru in the evening while we were there. So the power went out. I would recommend having flashlights or candles for guest. I would also recommend weights on outside curtains so they dont blow around or having some in the inside.

Very nice little place

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was spotless and so much of the interior was new and tastefully designed. Perfect for two! Downtown was easily within walking distance. A nice patio out front. The garage doors with windows kept the space bright and cheery. The owner was extremely responsive when we had a small problem, and sent her handyman over immediately to fix it. The only negative was it was over 90 degrees the day we arrived, and the space had been shut down, and the air conditioner had a hard time catching up. Otherwise a lovely stay!

Cute little place close to town

This is a beautifully remodeled garage. The bedroom is not fully a "room," but is separated from the living area by one wall and open on one wall, so not private, which I did not expect from the listing. We made it work with five adults; it would be better for a couple or a couple with a couple kids. The kitchen was great, very functional and nice. The dock was fine; we did not realize from the listing that it is a short walk away. It wasn't super easy to launch a kayak from the rocks/mud (but I made it work) and isn't a great place to swim. But if you just looking for a cute, comfortable, reasonably priced place to stay super close to activities in town, I think this is a great choice and a good value. I would rent it again under those circumstances. The owner/host was very pleasant to work with and very accommodating and responsive.

Cozy

This was a nice large Studio Apartment converted from a 3 car garage. It was beautifully decorated all new appliances. Came with everything needed. Fyi, the bedroom has a 3/4 in wall separating the living room so it was not in closed. Perfect for a couple. Like the previous review, the outside curtains covering the front blow around and don't stay closed. Bring some clips. It would be better to have some inside. Walking distance into town with shops and restaurants. The host Mary was so nice and responded quickly. Be careful of the key code, WIFI and address instructions from VRBO. I had to call Mary to confirm. all in all we had a great time

Unique Gem at Green Lake

Took a chance and was impressed with what looked to be a unique, clean, compact and modern property with pier / lake access. Was pleseantly surprised at how big and modern this converted double depth, 3 car garage was! Outside of outdoor curtains that wouldnt stay closed due to wind, and rain on Monday...this was an almost perfect getaway :-). Only other blip was unpredictable wi-fi setup. Although, we werent there to watch tv...so, wasnt big deal for us. Bed was comfortable, kitchen was stocked with all necessities including modern appliances and decor was stylish and fitting. Bathroom was pretty nice, functional. Neat added feature was the heated fan. Only blip is the showerhead. Functional, but, may need to be cleaned out for better flow. Overall this was a very neat, clean, unique and functional property. Mary was very responsive and we felt she would always be able to respond quickly, thank you! We will definitely recommend this property and will absolutely consider a future stay at this gem, the lilly pad on Green Lake.
