A great spot with view of lake. Very close to family and convenient for us to shop and be near family. Even though the weather was balmy it was nice to have the lake view. Plenty of room for all of us. Thanks.

Burlington Return

My kids and I lived in Burlington for 22 years. It was fun to return to the Browns Lake Neighborhood that we use to call home. We saw old friends and the grandkids swam everyday. My 3 yr old granddaughter says she is going to live in Burlington forever

Beautiful House a with Great Amenities!

Our stay at this property was excellent. The house is very nicely appointed and is well stocked with pantry items. The home decorations make it feel much more like a home rather than a rental property, which we really appreciated. The outdoor areas are beautiful and very well taken care of. The dock is great if you are bringing a boat. The house has plenty of room and beds for a larger party than the four we travelled with. Hope to visit here again!

Great property!

Just got back from a week with our family. We had 9 in our group and it was a perfect fit. The location on the lake was perfect and had a great view. Plenty of outdoor space for hanging out, playing yard games and seating for everyone. We had fires a couple of the nights also. Everyone had a great time and I would definitely go back!! Tammy was easy to contact and work with.

Quiet Thanksgiving with the kids

There’s a certain quality of furnishings when the owners also vacation at the rental property. From the mattresses to the towels; from the various glasses and dishes to pots/pans and utensils; absolutely everything you need and good quality.. While the lake had a thin layer of ice it was still beautiful and you could enjoy the peaceful sound of the geese. We’d love to come back in the summer for water activities. Great location near quiet town and shopping. Enjoyed Tristan Crist Magic Show, Dancing Horses and the waterpark; plenty to do anytime of year. Great place to stay.

The BEST of Browns Lake!!!

We were married October 13th - the groom and groomsmen stayed here during the weekend. They were obsessed with how amazing this home is. There is a sauna, an upper deck, a patio, a pool table..so many different areas in the home that can be used. The layout is really neat, it is beautifully furnished/decorated (pictures don’t do it justice!!), and could accommodate the whole group very comfortably. Tammy was responsive and very kind. Price was more than fair. My whole family was so impressed and will use this vrbo in the future and will recommend it to everyone we know! It was the best decision we made all weekend. Thank you!

Hoefle stay at the Lake View home on Browns Lake

Family vacation, my wife, my daughter, son and their families. Bedrooms were nice and comfortable. Kitchen was a bit small but cozy, great view of the lake. The beach and swimming, not possible due to all the weeds, that is kind of a bummer. We would not let the kids jump off the pier because of the weeds. The weeds did make the fishing amazing. We have a 5 year old boy and a 7 year old girl that will never forget fishing on Browns Lake. Even us older guys caught many nice bass off the pier. The extra size of the pier made things really nice, we spent a lot of time on the pier. We were cramped for parking at the premises but the folks at Fisher Park let us keep a boat and a vehicle in their lot, that worked out ok. We may come back for the fishing.

Great house with great attention to detail and quality everywhere. Tammy was super easy to work with and helpful. Some things were not super obvious to figure out but we managed and got everything we needed. Boat rental was smooth and worthwhile, but the lake was super weedy, requiring frequent de-weeding stops. Fishing from the pier was also a bit challenging because of weeds but the kids still had fun and caught some small northern pike, bass, and panfish.

Amazing lake home

This home on Brown’s Lake checks every box. It is spacious with plenty of space for 12 of us (9 adults and 3 kids) to spread out. The newly remodeled kitchen is amazing (nicer than mine at home) and has every dish, pot, pan or utensil you could ever need. A screened-in 3 season room is off the kitchen with wonderful views of the lake. There are two master bedrooms, but all of the bedrooms are spacious and are located near bathrooms that are lovely. Everyone in our group had their own space and were very comfortable. There is a Weber gas grill that we used every night, and a wonderful fire pit located on the lower deck. We brought our own boat and the lake is perfect for water skiing and tubing because it isn’t crowded. We had a fantastic vacation. No one wanted to leave.

Lakeside perfection

My family and I stayed at Tammy's home on Browns Lake to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary. Our family had a home on the lake for nearly 100 years before my grandparents had to sell and my parents were married at their home. So, to be back on the lake was a dream come true. And the cherry on top? Staying in Tammy's house. The home is very well-situated on the lake and offers all that you'd want in a lake home---a well-stocked home, a lovely patio with unimpeded views of the lake, and plenty of seating on the pier to be able to dry off from swimming or enjoy a cup of coffee as the sun rises over the lake. It was such a well-equipped home that we wanted for nothing and it allowed us to be able to spend as much time in the water or behind a boat as possible. We would absolutely stay here again and hope to in the coming years. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home so that we could spend time together in one of our favorite places on earth. What a way to celebrate our folks and all of our memories!

Great Quiet Lake Trip

We’re a family of four with a 2.5 YO and a 1 YO. My parents also joined us for this trip and we had a blast. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and condiments. They had a booster seat and a portacrib which were also super helpful with the little ones. We were able to use a trunk as a gate in the living room for my 1 YO which also made things really easy as we kid proofed the upstairs. Everything worked great, from the grill and sauna, to the fire pit and outdoor furniture. We loved having access to a canoe. My husband was in his element in the canoe and my 2YO loved it too. We have blowup kayaks as well and bought some cheap tubes for chilling on the water. All around it was a great time and we all enjoyed ourselves.
