About the host
Hosted by Kate
Welcome to our cozy Green Lake cottage! My name is Kate, and my husband is John (just to clarify, it's Kate and John, not John and Kate - my husband is always worried someone will think we have a plus 8!). We are thrilled to offer you a comfortable and inviting place to stay in this beautiful area.
We are both professionals and have always loved the Green Lake community. In the spring of 2022, we decided to purchase this charming cottage and give it a complete makeover. You'll find before and after photos on display in the cottage, and we think you'll be amazed at the transformation.
As travelers ourselves, we understand the importance of having a private and comfortable space to call your own. That's why we've made sure to include all the little luxuries that make a rental truly special - a Keurig for your morning coffee, high-quality linens, fast internet, vintage dishes, brand-new appliances, Alexa, and comfortable furniture. And, of course, there's a great patio where you can enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day.
We also have a special place in our hearts for dogs. That's why we've created a fenced-in yard that's almost 1/2 an acre for your furry friend to enjoy. Our own dog, Mavis, is a constant source of joy and inspiration for us, and we know that other dogs are just as awesome.
We can't wait for you to come and experience our cottage for yourself. We're confident you'll love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property
A few more things about why we love the area. Just 200 feet from the cottage, you'll find the crystal clear waters of the lake, where you can enjoy four different areas designated for our neighbors to use. Our personal favorite is the sandy beach, just a 5-minute walk away - and don't forget to bring a float or ask to borrow one of ours!
The neighborhood is friendly and picturesque, and we love taking morning walks past some of the most beautiful houses on the lake. Though we may be biased, we think our cottage is the cutest of them all. And if you're looking for a great place to grab a drink or a bite to eat, you're in luck. A short walk away is Reiley’s Irish pub with the best Reuben rolls, and just a 10-minute drive away is Norton's Supper Club, a true treat. But that's not all - the cute town of Princeton is just a short drive away, and it's our favorite. Renard's European Bakery will make you feel like you've died and gone to heaven, and the hip and cool Horseradish is the place to get the best sandwiches and craft cocktails.
But if you just want to stay and relax at the Minnow, we don't blame you. With Christiano's pizza available for delivery and the occasional ice cream truck showing up on the lake, there's no need to leave. We can't wait for you to come and experience all the amazing amenities that surround us. Book your stay at the Minnow today!
