About this property

🌲☀️Private Lakefront prop. With Kayaks And Paddleboard Boat Rental Optional☀️🌲

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!

No Smoking or prom parties, please. Majority of guests should be over the age of 25. We have a lot of love for this place and want our guests to feel the same and take care of it as it was their own!

Small reception parties are ok but we don’t have parking for weddings or groups over 50 people

Quick family getaway

This was a solid place for a bit of a family reunion for a couple of days! The ac was a bit wonky (warm upstairs, while the downstairs was the Arctic), but it didn't deter from us enjoying ourselves. Loved the mulberry trees! We were able to dock our boat at the pier but couldn't load it there because the area was too shallow, so it was a 5-10 min walk down to a better area to board. Great yard, quiet neighborhood. Owner was responsive to questions.

My family and I were celebrating my sister's 70th birthday . There were 18 of us in total. Six were children. The house was big enough to accommodate all of us. The rooms were non traditional in the basement but my family enjoyed where they slept and had no complaints. The teenagers truly enjoyed the large yard, the hot tub and the fire pit. The very young children enjoyed the space to just run and play. My sister and I just enjoyed being together for two nights with our family and looking at the beautiful view. It was rainy and cold so we could not do any lake activities but there were many things we could have done that are listed. The host,Jeff was fantastic. He was easy to contact and answered every question I had. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay with a large group. You can do very little as we chose to do or entertain yourself in a variety of ways. We all had a great stay and hope to do it again. .

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 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.

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

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Martin

Host profile image
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!!!
