About this property

Secluded Sunrise Getaway - A Pet FriendlyHappy Place!

Imagine waking up to your very own sunrise view of beautiful Green Lake. You could have coffee on your front porch with your pup at your side or at the table in front of the sliding glass door and watch this beautiful display of nature. Maybe you prefer the short walk to the beach, sunning in the park, watching your children play on Green Lake’s sandy beach, or just craving some peace and quiet, this is the home for you. We know you will make great memories here in our home.

ABOUT THE PROPERTY
What we love about our “Happy Place” . . .
We love the location - 2.25 hours from the Illinois border and less from Milwaukee or Madison! We love that we are two blocks from Gorgeous Green Lake. We appreciate the privacy we have here as we are on a very quiet street with very few neighbors. Our property is great because we have more yard space than a typical lakefront property, yet still enjoy all the perks of lake living. We can be by the water or play yard games by day. Then sit by the fire or play board games at night. We can bring our dog and love that our cleaning company makes it look like we never did. We have been able to unwind from the chaos of the week. We have had fun with our friends at our cottage. We have enjoyed great family times here as well. These are our precious memories and we can’t wait for you to make some of your own!
We want to be totally transparent with our guests. We do have a security camera overlooking the driveway and one on the front porch overlooking the front yard. There are NO cameras inside the home!

Highly Recommended

The homeowner was super helpful and provided answers to our questions promptly. The home was very clean and well furnished with everything we needed. It was nice not having to bring towels as many place's don’t offer. Checking in and out was super easy. A nice quiet neighborhood close to the lake. We highly recommend and we would certainly stay here again.

Ya-Ya Get Away

Overall the stay was a great getaway ! Genise was great at getting our questions answered promptly, it was a nice walk to see the water, we initially thought we were across from the water but realized it was just down the road. Had a few issues with tv remote but were able to find some batteries and the issue was fixed.

quiet and restful

My sisters and I spent 3 nights here and had a very quiet, relaxing time. We did some crafts, games, movies. House was fine. Bathrooms need some updating. Communication with owner easy, only had to contact them once. Lots of information and instructions on things which was great. Would rent again. Thank you

They hope you will find rest, relaxation, and joy and make wonderful memories on their property soon.

Why they chose this property

We love that it is 2.25 hours from the IL border and closer to Milwaukee and Madison so our whole family can easily get to it.
We have always wanted to have lakefront property but know we can never afford it. This home just about offers everything lakefront property can offer. We can relax on our porch and enjoy our lake views. When the wind blows in the right direction, we get that wonderful lake smell. We are steps from the water and able to enjoy all it offers. Whether we want to launch the boat or jet ski, put in the kayak or long board, spend the day enjoying sand castles and swimming , or having a picnic by the water - it’s all at our fingertips. We can be part of the lake community or retreat to the peace and quiet of our cottage with the beautiful wooded backyard.
Deer and bunnies frequent our yard along with a variety of birds. Having the variety if hiking and biking trails around the lake is phenomenal!
If you like antiques then the Princeton Flea Market is for you. From March through October, the town is taken over by one of the largest in the Midwest! Princeton also has a quaint Christmas celebration every weekend in December, just 10 minutes away.
Be sure to check out Ripon. It is filled with unique shops and has an old country theme with a modern twist to it. People love it and so do we.
Then you must take the drive through Amish country. View an entirely different way of life. They do not use electricity, drive motorized vehicles, or use modern equipment. Yet their farms are pristine and beautiful. They do not work on Sunday and do not like to have their photos taken. Feel free to stop in their home shops Monday-Saturday and purchase a homemade baked good, spice, wood piece, or rug. Take photos of their horse and buggies or field work.
There is so much to see and do near our cottage. But if you don’t want to go anywhere, it is still the perfect place to do nothing. This is why we love our cottage. We hope you will love it too!
