About this property

Shimmering Shores lake home

*Note: We have another lake home rental just down the shoreline that can be rented in addition to Shimmering Shores, to accommodate larger groups.

Enjoy amazing sunsets at this beautiful home on crystal clear, sand-bottom
Lake Irogami. Gaze at the lake from the picnic table (with umbrella) on the large sandy beach. No steps to the lake, makes easy access for all ages. A gorgeous 3 season room with large table and smart tv overlooks the yard & lake. Walk out from the lower level to relax in our large hot tub. Gather with family and friends around our outdoor firepit on the beach. You can enjoy our kayaks, paddleboat, rowboat, canoe, and paddleboards. Rent the owner's pontoon boat to go fishing or cruising.


A few of our amenities include a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washer & dryer, wood fireplace, smart TVs, extra refrigerator, game system, large hot tub and furniture on lower patio, gas grill.


Surroundings: Clearwater Retreat is located along a dead-end street and not near any highways. No neighbors across the street, just a lovely wildlife area.

Our lake home is located on the eastern side of Lake Irogami, which is the sandiest part of the lake's shoreline.

Lake Irogami: Lake Irogami is a 290 acre swimming, fishing and boating lake. You can waterski, jet ski, canoe, fish, swim, kayak, paddleboard, and tube. This is a full recreational lake. The lake doesn't get really deep (5 - 8 feet on average), yet it is deep enough for all the things you want to do, and the fishing is great. Blue gill, largemouth bass, crappie, perch and northern pike are some of the fish you might catch. There are 2 boat launches on opposite sides of the lake. You can bring your own boat and tie it to our pier or rent the owner's pontoon boat.

Surrounding area: Just 13 minutes from Nordic Mountain ski area (enjoy the winter tubing, skiing, boarding, restaurants and bar overlooking the lake).
Two minutes and less to our famous supper clubs: Moose Inn and Silvercryst
Downtown you will find lovely shops: Shasta Daisy, The Nest, Fox & Ivy, Waushara Wildflower, and more. Venture a little farther to enjoy a day at the large flea market in Princeton. Wineries include Lunch Creek winery and vineyard in Neshkoro and the Pine River Winery. Golf at Waushara Country Club or Two Oaks golf course 5 minutes from our home. Our area has many hiking, walking, biking trails: see Wausharachamber.com for more information.

Traditions: Our family started a tradition over 50 years ago by renting a lake house in Waushara County. Every year we looked forward to that one week where we could get away and enjoy lake life. Now our kids and grandkids look forward to making memories at the lake. We would love to help you start your own traditions at this home away from home.

Amazing Christmas get away with family
We rented this amazing property to spend Christmas with our family. Everyone loved it. It was the perfect place for us all to be together. The house is warm and cozy with plenty of room for family. It's located on a beautiful lake that would be amazing in the summertime. THe house was very attentive and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again and we are even considering renting it again this summer and possibly again next year for Christmas.

Best mini vacation
We had 15 people of all range of ages from 80 to teens. This place was an amazing and has everything for everyone. Our kids went to boat ride and late night we had camp fire s’mores with homemade marshmallow. Our internet wasn’t working and when we inquired they came promptly and fixed it. Their service were top notch and I can’t complain anything. Thank you for making our stay memorable.

Guys weekend
Immediately impressed by how much the property had to offer. We opted to rent a pontoon boat, but even if we didnt, the property had various paddle boats and canoes to enjoy. Great spot for bonfires. House was well kept and well staged for a vacation rental. 10/10 would book here again
