About this property

This PREMIER PROPERTY is called About Time, celebrate spending time together with your favorite people. Time is the best gift we can give one another. Sleeps 16 comfortably but could accommodate up to 20 if you want to sleep on couches. This 5 bedrooms (2 downstairs), 3 bath house on Lake Elizabeth, has a large yard for lawn games, private pier, basketball court, corn hole, LOTS of games and is surrounded by a gorgeous conservation area with 1.7 miles of hiking trails - true beauty!

For swimming, we recommend taking the boat to the sand bar on the south side of the lake or driving to Twin Lakes beach on Lake Mary 5 minutes north.

A gormet Chef is available if desired, otherwise, grill out back or down by the water, relax in the hammock or fish off the pier, whatever your fancy - swimming in this spring fed lake offers the best of the best. Bring your rafts and water toys. Only 1 bar/restaurant (Sand Bar) on the lake, so it is quieter and with 750 acres, perfect for water skiing and fishing. Catch the water ski show on Wednesday and Saturdays @ 6:00 during the Summer in Twin Lakes, WI.

We love to recommend out favorite Yoga instructor and massage therapist for the girls getaways and Twin Lakes Boat Rental for the boys boat fun.
They deliver directly to our dock.

Lake Geneva is 15 minutes away and worth the drive for a paddleboat tour. Alpine Valley is 12 minutes away, Wilmot ski hill is 7 minutes away, Six Flags and Gurnee Outlet Mall is 25 minutes away. It's About Time you enjoy the place as much as we do. Welcome!

Nice spot

This was a beautiful property location with a lovely great room. The host is very responsive. There are truly 4 bedrooms and the others are spaces with beds in them which worked ok for us. Also the mater bathroom has a ‘curtain’ into the bathroom and not a door. Otherwise we enjoyed the view and the house.

Comfortable and Quiet Stay

The house felt like home, the yard was perfect. I imagined a summer baseball game. The neighborhood was close to plenty of activities, while being far enough away for peaceful quiet nights. Contact was easy, and accessible the whole stay. Would gladly stay again!

Nice

The lakehouse super nice, owner communicated well, overall Good experience. A bit of feedback because the coffee machine was missing the pot so we had to go out to buy some. It was also a bit dusty. Check out was 11am and I received a text at 8:30am that cleaning crew was on the way so it felt rushed. Also, I would rather pay a cleaning fee (I understand garbage being taken out and cleaning up tables). Overall nice experience and owner did let us know jacuzzi was a bit stained from leaves so we didnt end up using.

Summer Trip

The property was exactly as described and Jeff was a great host. Space is great and plenty of room for our party to spread out. Bonus was location next to the Sand Bar as we were able to drop our boat there and in less than a minute be at the house where we were able to keep it.

Great house

We had a family crew of close to 20 people. We really enjoyed fishing off the pier, playing baseball in the big yard, kayaking out to the open lake, and just hanging out in the open kitchen/living room. Would recommend for big groups. Great host, quick responses.

Wonderful lake week with friends

This house was great for housing a large group of people. We had 7 adults and 8 kids and all slept well. Location was good, boat rental was easy. The listing online needs some updating as the check out time is 11 not 12, the wifi codes are incorrect in the listing etc. but all minor things, we would definitely stay again.

Bad weather But good time

Weather at the lake is always unpredictable but my family and I had a great time despite some rain. The house offers an open floor plan to allow large group gatherings on the main floor. The lower level has several rooms and game areas. The decks on main and lower level offer great lake views and some privacy. The lawn is huge - great for wiffel ball, croquet, bocce ball. Great sunsets

Beautiful view of lake

For a group of 12-14 with small children or 10-12 adults, this is a comfortable space with a large living room, a great view of the lake and dock access for boating. The area is nice with lot of small towns nearby and nice places to hike nearby

Great place and great host!

If you are thinking about booking this place - do it! Especially for bigger groups, the price is worth it. The main floor was big enough for all of us to hang out in and the lake view is *chefs kiss*. We will be back for another family reunion. Thank you Jeff!

Family Christmas Party

Wonderful location directly on the water. Well stocked and clean. Great location for quality family time. Peaceful in the winter I bet it’s even more fun in the summer. Sandbar marina and restaurant right down the lake and they will deliver a rental pontoon. We will go back in the summer. Hot tub was very nice.

Great outdoor space with lake access

This house worked great for our large group (17 total). The house had everything we needed. The best part of the property was the outdoor space from the elevated deck leading out to the dock. We spent the majority of the weekend outside and ventured out to the lake each day. Good communication with the owner leading up to and during our stay.

Perfect place to stay for a surprise birthday weekend. We were able to utilize the game room, the kayaks and had a pontoon delivered. Jeff made communication easy and had us reach out with the any questions. Overall the place was clean, the outside furniture could use a wipe down or spray just cobwebs and such. We would would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Martin

We bought this place as a get away that is not too far away. I can drive there in 52 minutes from our Chicagoland house. We bought lots of water toys and would like to share them with friends and family. We welcome you and hope you enjoy About Time.

Why they chose this property

We spent years researching where we wanted to buy and this spring fed lake provides the cleanest water and the best fishing. We love water skiing and we don't want a busy lake, so we picked Lake Elizabeth and couldn't be happier. If this one is booked on the dates you wanted, check out our other place on the same lake, https://odis.homeaway.com/odis/listing/f0495c39-dd59-4d18-b7f5-b0bb96eb23ef.c10.jpg . Property #4779200.

What makes this property unique

We like to watch the swans come by, we love the peace and quite of the South end of the lake and the cat-tail Islands that we can kayak around. So scenic and beautiful. Regardless if you rent from us or not, this end of the lake is worth adventuring to and it's a beautiful place for a weekend, a week, or a month. The sun sets are the best!!!
