Property was very nice and the owner had a binder of information on the house and local places nearby. Beach was fantastic, water was clear. There was a potential for swimmer itch but we took precautions so it wasn’t an issue. Overall a very nice home

Great family getaway

We had a great weekend stay at this property. Carisa was an accommodating host and very responsive with the process. The beach and sand area was perfect for our little ones and they loved playing with the toys and in the water. We had five adults and three littles and there was plenty of space for all of us.

Great family vacation on a great little lake.

Weather and property was perfect for water fun. Nice beach and pier for kayaking, SUP, tubing, and fishing. Wonderful fire pit. Onside the house was very nice. With convenient kitchen nd nice rec room . Check out is a little extensive but not a problem.. Definitely would recommend this place for a group our size (5 adults and 4 kids)

Fun Time

With so many young children we were looking for a sandy beach to occupy their time and this is what we loved about this place. They spent hours playing in the sand and fishing off the pier or in the paddle boat. The water was clear, shallow, easily accessible and visible from the house.

Annual friends lake house week

We have stayed at this property for three consecutive years now! We love it. The lake is quiet which was perfect for our non-motorized watercraft and safe for our young kids. Our kids loved the big sandy beach, the toys, and dock. The only downside is the swimmers itch. It is prevalent and precautions necessary, but otherwise fantastic! We will be back!

Beautiful property

This is a wonderful home on a beautiful lake. A few negatives included swimmers itch a number of our group incurred to various degrees. We tried the preventative and post swimming remedies suggested but unfortunately a number of us had skin issues. Also, the knives in the knife block are very dull. Other than that we had a great time!

Family Get-a-Way

We had the best time here with our family. We were looking for a quiet place where we could get away from the busyness of our daily lives and just chill. This was it! With so many little ones the private beach was perfect. The sand was soft, the water clean and we appreciated the low boat traffic and peacefulness of the surrounding area. The older children also enjoyed fishing off the pier and searching for frogs. We all enjoyed the fire pit at night. The pool table was a hit. The house was clean and comfortable. Carissa was very accommodating to our needs. I will definitely consider renting the place again.

Overall nice place and nice time.

Our overall experience was good. We enjoyed ourselves and it was relaxing. The neighbors were extremely friendly and very helpful! The owner did warn us about swimmers itch before and we all ended up getting it very badly, which made most of us not go into the beautiful water. We were disappointed we couldn’t be in the water more. A few things to consider, when you check out you are suppose to get rid of your trash. Plan on saving room for it or bring a trailer or something to put leaky bags in. If you do it on the weekend, plan on taking it home with you. Or she leaves instructions on other times you can take it to the local place. When you leave, you need to do a little housekeeping. Stripping the beds and starting a load of dishes and a load of towels in the dryer are pretty standard stuff that we have done before. Leave some extra time to vacuum the whole house. It’s not that it was hard, but not what I planned on doing on my get away. Regardless, we had a good time and made the best with what we could with the swimmers itch. We wanted to make people aware just as we wish we had known that stuff ahead of time. If none of that bothers you, it was a nice place to stay.

Very enjoyable stay

Property was well maintained and exactly as advertised. Beach area was awesome for our grandchildren to play. Less than 90 minutes from Green Bay, so a convenient drive. Home was well appointed and other than perhaps a few extra blankets, everything we needed was provided. Beds were comfortable. Children enjoyed catching pan fish right off the dock. Water was clean, shallow entrance to lake and plenty of water toys and things to play with. *As advertised, no TV or Wifi* We tried using "hot spots" but still service was sporadic. So if Wifi is critical, this is not the vacation location for you. Patio doors were a challenge, one was broken and not to be used and the other worked fine, but didn't have a screen door on it, so we had some flies in the house. Refrigerator ice maker did not work and grill required charcoal..........but we supplmented what was needed. Neither of these were big deals, but just wanted to mention. We would definitely consider going again.

Swimmers itch

We all had a blast until kids all got swimmers itch and some adults. Small lake, clear, but the snails got churned up buy all the boats on 4th of july weekend. Should have been informed of problem. Canin to close to road. Fishing was terrible. We swam test of time in the middle of lake. Bought a bunch of medical stuff for swimmers itch. TV would not work, no wifi, and no radio. Would help on rain days. We still had fun .

Nice private beach

On the day we arrived, we seen a bald eagle sitting on top of a dead dear on the side of the road - pretty awesome! The private beach is nice. The kids really enjoyed it. We tried casting a hook and worm for some bluegill but to no avail. The home itself is nice and has pretty much a full kitchen. You don't need to bring any kitchen tools/utensils, which is a plus if you like to cook. Nothing bad to say except the stairs. If you bring your elderly mother like we did, it could be a task.

Beautiful Vacation Home

We stayed here during the first week of October and were so impressed with the thoroughness of the homeowner's communications, the cleanliness of the home, the beautiful high-end finishes and the stunning property. This is a spacious split-level (must be able to handle stairs) with a fully stocked kitchen and lots of fun discoveries for kids (toys, games, canoe, bunk room). We made great memories here and think it would be even better during a warm summer week when we could spend more time in the water. The beach is truly amazing.

We both grew up in the small town of Rosendale, Wisconsin. We purchased this lakehouse for our family to enjoy, but also to rent out occasionally. It's always been a dream to own a place with a sand beach, and the beach here is one of the most beautiful beaches we've seen. We are so excited to enjoy this as our family vacation place for years to come, and we are certain you will love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Fantastic home on 180 feet of prime sand lake frontage! Surrounded by towering pines, this property has the finest sugar-sand beach in NE Wisconsin with gin-clear water on sought after Little Newton Lake. 4 BR, 2 BA, billiard room, hearth room, solid cherry cabinets and doors throughout, and walk-out LL, electronic skylight, central vac, two decks, paver walkway, firepit & permanent Radtke dock. Just 15 minutes from Crivitz.

What makes this property unique

The beach at this house is beautiful, big, and clean and great for swimming. The water is clear and clean. It's not weedy or mucky. The lake is clean and quiet, full req 60 acre lake. You can bring along your boat and water skis. If you enjoy fishing, you can expect to catch a variety of fish including bluegill, northern pike, largemouth bass, and walleye. The house has four bedrooms for multiple families to enjoy. The kitchen is top notch with granite counter tops.
