This property was just as it was billed, it felt like a cabin up north on a lake inside. The rooms were nicely decorated and the kitchen had everything we needed.The only negative was the outside could use a little TLC and not being able to open any windows was difficult with the amazing weather we were experiencing, it would have been great to sleep to the sound of the lake.

Ian, thank you so much for your 10/10 and for sharing such kind words about the home. We’re so glad you enjoyed the cabin feel, the lake setting, and that the kitchen had everything you needed. We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback. We’ll continue to give attention to the outdoor areas, and we understand how wonderful it would be to sleep with the windows open to the lake breeze. We’ll keep working on ways to make that experience possible in the future. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Had such a great vacation at the Lake House

We really felt so at home throughout our entire stay. Loved swimming, fishing, and brought our own jet skis to enjoy. The property has so many things to do. Puzzles, movies, so many games, bikes, fishing poles, swim floaties, balls and the piano was so much fun. I hope we can come stay again one day!

Great Lake Experience

We had a great time! Lots of amenities provided including ample towels and household supplies. Great experience for little kids and searching out frogs. Dock is a little rickety and I wish there was a ladder off of it to make swimming easier. But overall a great house to get away from it all!

2nd Time Still Perfect!

This was our second time staying at the Lakehouse and it was just as great as it was 2 years ago. We had a nice basket of goodies and a bottle of wine waiting on us when we got there courtesy of the hosts. And Sophie was wonderful at communicating and checking on us to make sure everything was going well. This is one of our favorite places to stay when we visit Appleton and we will definitely be back!

Just what we needed

My husband and our five kids loved our time at the farmhouse. The sunsets and sunrises, the fantastic fire pit and dock, and the well stocked kitchen truly made this a home away from home. Close driving proximity for grocery runs and great hiking trails. Thank you, Sophie and Ben for sharing your home with us. Just glorious.

Wedding weekend stay

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Lake House. My son was getting married at the Waverly Beach Bar & Grill and this house is within a mile of the venue. We loved how close the home was to the water, so on down time, we could watch the calming waves. The beds were great and all was so clean upon check-in. The hosts welcomed us with a gift basket complete with a meal and S'more making supplies. Although we didn't get the chance to use, there is a nice peddle boat, canoe, fire pit and bicycles. A great stay for our family. Highly recommend.

COMFORTABLE

Home was very comfortable, 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, beds were fine, large kitchen and living room. Outside had nice sized deck, a large yard, a nice big firepit and plenty of wood. The swimming was nice with shallow water and a sand bottom. The only negative was that the windows did not open to outside air.

vacation year 12.

Our Grandson has been fascinated by toads for a long time. He always finds at least one every year. He's been coming since he was 3, he's now 15. Both our grandkids and son love to fish, and we always catch enough to eat fish at least 3 nights. They love the idea of being right on the lake. We will keep coming as long as possible.

Property location and view were excellent unfortunately we had too many disappointments with the amenities and condition of the house. A more detailed list will be provided but the top inconveniences and disappointments were the lack of written instructions on how to operate the thermostat and fireplace. Trying to communicate with owners was a challenge. Toilet upstairs was running which disrupted sleep and we weren’t able to open windows to air the stuffiness out and enjoy the lake breeze. Also the power went out due to many weighted branches. Again the location was nice and a more detailed list will follow.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Sept 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Lori. We’re truly sorry to hear that parts of your stay didn’t meet your expectations. Our goal is always to provide a comfortable and welcoming experience, and we regret that this wasn’t the case for you. We did our best to respond quickly during your stay, from offering to adjust the Google Nest thermostat to your preferences, to assisting with other requests like the fireplace. That said, we recognize technology can be tricky, and we’ll be adding clear instructions for both the thermostat and the gas-start fireplace so future guests have an easier time. The power outage you experienced was part of a neighborhood-wide event utility crews worked across the area to restore service. While it was outside of our control, we understand how disruptive it can feel and we’re glad service was restored quickly. Our team, property manager, and owners worked hard to support you and your requests throughout your stay, and we’re sorry you didn’t feel that effort translated into the experience you were hoping for. We genuinely appreciate your comments and will continue to make improvements for future guests.

About the host

Host profile image
I grew up in the Fox Cities on the water however have been residing in Boulder, CO since 1984. I purchased the home in 2004 as a second home. My girlfriend and I still have family there however with older children and their busy schedules we are not able to enjoy the property as much as we would like. I renovated the home myself when purchased and have a lot of blood, sweat and tears that have been put into the property. With new wood flooring throughout, drywall, paint and new kitchen I made it my own. It was professionally decorated to give it a cozy, charming lake house feel with elegance and warmth. We hope you enjoy the home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This home has a unique lot that allows you to see water for as far as the eyes can see. It is in a quiet, friendly neighborhood where you can bike to nearby restaurants and live music.

What makes this property unique
