Amazing property on the lake, and exactly as pictured. Sunroom was our favorite place and an absolute dream. Management was easy to communicate with on the very minor issues or questions that arose during the week. We hope to visit again next year.

Beautiful location on Green Lake.

Enjoyed our stay. House was perfect for 6 adults and 6 kids. Loved the enclosed porch, patio and lakefront. Great yard for games and pickle ball on driveway. Will definitely rent again!

The property was even better than what the pictures show. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and spent hours out there for family dinners and games. The grassy, level lake frontage was a great place to play yard games and have easy access to the lake. The house was immaculate and provided a multitude of sleeping options. We would highly recommend staying here.

Great Summer Vacation at Waters Edge!

Waters Edge was the perfect summer getaway for our group of family and friends! The house is beautifully renovated and the photos don't do it justice. The shallow, sandy bottom was great for swimming and there are plenty of adirondack chairs to take in the gorgeous view as well as a giant lakefront fire pit. We loved playing games in the screened porch! The location is perfect, close to Soda's Farm Market, Reilly's Pub, and quaint neighboring towns. Thanks again for an awesome stay and can't wait to return next summer!

Great Lake and Location

It’s a beautiful home and a great location. Perfect for a group of friends or family. We spent a lot of time in the porch area and had all of our meals there! The only thing that would have been nice to have are kitchen essentials like salt, pepper, and more paper towel/garbage bags especially for being a larger group, etc. but those are easy things to buy when you’re there.

Hi Melissa, Thank you for your review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful home and its great location—it’s perfect for gathering with friends or family. It sounds like the porch area was a hit, especially for mealtime! We appreciate your feedback about the kitchen essentials. While we try to ensure all supplies are well-stocked before each stay, we’re limited by health department regulations, which prevent us from leaving food items like salt and pepper between guests. We’ll keep your comments in mind to see how we can improve the experience for larger groups. We’re glad you had a great time, and we hope to welcome you back soon! Best regards, Jon B. and the Manage Cabins Crew

Good Spot for Relaxation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rented with a few friends for 4th of July weekend. Very nice view right on the lake. Many houses were shooting off fireworks and it was a good view for that. House was well kept.

Family yearly vacation was great! The house is beautiful, and the manager responded to our questions quickly. I would only remind others to read what they provide more carefully than we did. There are no towels or washcloths provided except for the kitchen.

Nice, renovated, waterfront home with level yard facing the lake

This is a very nice, recently renovated home with plenty of space for the family to spread out, between indoors and the level yard facing the lake. The water immediately out front the home is very shallow to the end of the probably 200 feet long pier and generally sandy bottom though there was expected seaweed throughout for our stay at the end of June. Nice location about 10 min drive from Lawsonia and 15 min drive from downtown Green Lake.

Green Lake

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this well appointed house. Wish we had known about the algae issue. We were glad that we could go to Dodge Park where the grandchildren could swim with little algae. The property manager was fabulous, replacing burned pans, scooping up dead fish, making us feel well care for.

Hi Mary, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. There can be some weeds this time of year but due to how deep the lake gets, Green lake stays generally pretty clear and the water is usually great for swimming. We haven't heard of any algae problems in the area. jon

Place was not clean when arrived. Also said pets were allowed but then denied. On site manager said that didn’t make any sense??? Cat and human hair everywhere The positive is setting and remodel is great. Great for large family gathering. The lake is always awesome

Hi Jeanne, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the setting, the recent remodel, and that the space worked well for your large family gathering. The lake really is something special! However, I'm truly sorry to hear about the cleanliness issues you encountered. That's definitely not the standard we aim for, and we'll be addressing this with our cleaning team immediately to ensure it doesn't happen again. Regarding the pet policy, this home is indeed not pet-friendly, so I'm not sure how there was cat hair present. We'll be investigating this further to understand what happened. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future. Best regards, Jon B. and the Manage Cabins Crew

Quick getaway

The property was as stated in the description with exception of the depth at the end of the pier. We couldn’t tie our inboard ski boat at the end to stop and pick up any necessities because it was 2 feet or less at the end of the pier. It would be fine for other types of boats but not an inboard ski boat. That being said the accommodations were clean and the spot very peaceful.

I'm sorry for the trouble with the dock. The water tends to fluctuate a bit on the lake. Will look into a longer pier for next year

Great Lake front property

Amazing home! Would definitely stay again. So many combinations of family and friends can stay here comfortably. We had two families of four and there were still unused beds. Three solid bedrooms with a fourth for kids and four extra bunks. Ping pong table, lots of TVs. Wonderful recent remodel - greats showers and beds. Guest house add-on available- but we didn’t use it. Screened in porch was great, constantly used. Fire pit with chairs. Responsive hosts. Very clean. Zero depth lake Frontage for 200 feet, and a sandy bottom. Decent amount of algae (our trip was in late august) but not too bad and we could 100% enjoy the water. Bring floats! They rake the algae weekly. Well stocked pots and pans and utensils (but don’t forget to bring beach towels, toilet paper and paper towels). We rented the boat which was amazing for dinner cruises, going to restaurants (Norton’s and Murphy’s) on the lake, and sunset cruises. Bike trail “Loop the Lake” is Incredible for any cyclist (25 miles long with amazing views). Nearby golfing at Lawsonia highly recommended (10 min drive). Just a great vacation all around. As advertised. Very special place!

Beautiful Home!

Water's Edge is such a lovely home and perfect for a family vacation. We so enjoyed the boat, dock, flat lawn, fire pit, screened porch, beautiful kitchen and comfy family room. We couldn't get over how creative the architect was in fitting beds in so many creative places! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Very nice home and location and lake

Both the house and the location exceeded our expectations and suited our needs perfectly. The house is very nice with a large living room / dining / kitchen area. There is a porch/sunroom overlooking the lake that can be used as an alternate dining area. Everything is in great shape. There are a couple of taverns/restaurants nearby and Princeton and Green Lake are 5-10 minutes away. Our party was 4 adults - 2 couples and there was an unused bedroom and plenty of space available. There is a new dock leading out into the lake and a reasonably sized backyard. The house sits on a relatively quiet road that you can walk along without concern. If we are in the area again we would definitely return. Communication with Jon was good and we never needed to call.

Hi Joyce, Thanks for the feedback. To be clear, the interior renovation is completed. The only thing left to do is some cement work in the driveway and replacement of the front steps. This house is fully functional for guests and the minor issues you mentioned should be done by September of 2021. Thanks for your patience with us. This remodel took much longer then expected with some of the Covid supply issues but it sure turned out amazing. Jon
