Our stay was enjoyable and worked well for our needs. It was nice to have the watercraft available and the host was always available to answer questions.

Thank you Trista. I enjoyed the group that was here and invite you back anytime.
Our family all stayed at Kathy’s place to celebrate the 4th of July together. It was different than other rentals we have stayed at for we didn’t feel like renters, rather we felt like family. Kathy was extremely hospitable and made us feel extremely welcome. We were amazed at how well stocked the place was as it seemed like she had everything we could possibly need. Thank you for making our family vacation a great one!
The relaxing evenings were nice by the firepit. Neighbor extremely quiet. Home had every kitchen appliance and utensil to cook, plus spices were provided. Plenty of towels available for the swimming. The township of Fox Lake had a wonderful public children's water park only a couple miles away. Bathrooms were stocked in case you forgot anything. Kathy was absolutely wonderful allowing for friends to come over for a birthday party for our granddaughter.
nice quiet area, owner very easy to get along with.
nicely stocked. slept well.
would recommend to others

Thanks for the review Ronald. Left a 5* review for your group. Would host again.
Only hiccup I had was the recycling issue. Everything else was all good.
We had a really nice weekend. Kathy was more than accommodating, providing, and friendly. Beaver Dam was a lot of fun too. Friendly locals and quaint little town. :) Don't forget to check out LeRoys for your fresh Wisconsin dairy!!
Great place to unwind. Town of Beaver Dam is very relaxed, property is spacious, and Kathy was great to work with. All our needs were met, and Kathy went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable.

We had an awesome stay at this house! The location is beautiful-so quite and relaxing. The house is exactly as described and the owner provides every possible little thing in there, it was stocked better than even our own home! The communication with the owner was also great! Five stars to the owner and to the house!

Thank you for the review Natalia. I would welcome you and your family/group back anytime.
Our family enjoyed fishing and spending time together here. The property had all the amenities needed for cooking and lots of indoor and outdoor games. There were only 4 of us but would it have been comfortable for a larger group as well.

Owner provided a very nice property to stay at for an relaxing 4 days. Had plenty of room and beautiful view of the lake. Over the top accommodations were provided to make it feel like we were in our own home. Also the owner was very friendly, easily available if needed, and made the process easy to check in and out.

Michael and his family were a great group to host. They brought 2 adorable dogs and all was good. They left the home exceptionally clean. I would be delighted to host them again.
We really enjoyed our stay here. We were in town for the Englewood Open MTB and it proved to be the perfect setup for our group. Lots of space within the rental, and a ton outside. It is right on the lake and the owner provides everything you need to enjoy the water. The owner was super communicative throughout. Would highly recommend!
Kathy was great to work with.
Fishing area was really 'seaweedy" but we managed to catch 18 catfish and 1 croppie

I do work with BD Lake Improvement Association and we are working on this. I do have an aerator between the 2 property docks that keep the weeds in check in the bay that I am on. Glad you had good luck with the fishing.
We loved being right on the water!! Lots of water toys to enjoy. Great views! Close enough to town to play pickleball. Lots of restaurants to choose from
The host, Kathy was awesome to work with!! Very attentive with attention to detail. Super vacation!!!

About the host
Hosted by Kathy McMichael
I live on this lakefront property in the smaller 1/2 of this duplex. I love lake living and want my quest to enjoy the use of this property. I am always available if needed but otherwise let the guest shave their own space to enjoy the waterfront, watercraft, deck and grill.
Why they chose this property
I bought this property in 2019, renovated it and then made it available for people to enjoy a vacation and make memories.
What makes this property unique
Many local and unique area attractions including the Horicon Marsh, an Amish community, a local winery, brew pub, wine bar, locally owned lakefront bars/grills, great local meat market for your grilling needs,.
Large lot for spreading out with your family playing yard games and enjoying the firepit.
