About this property

Secluded Sanctuary with Beach and Woods

The Cottage is a beautifully decorated French Country bungalow located on 7.5 acres of a privately owned compound. Miles of Lake Michigan sand is simply steps away through a walk of the stunning gardens. Just up a few stairs you will find yourself on the shores of Lake Michigan. Visitors often remark that it is as vast and magnificent as any ocean. It truly earns its place among the Great Lakes. Beach chairs and sand toys are available for a relaxing day of play in the sand.

The property is home to 4 acres of wooded hiking trails through your own secluded cedar forest. No matter the season the adventure of exploring the woods is a highlight for visitors.

In the Spring, Summer and Fall, the fabulous outdoor grill is available for your cooking pleasure with plenty of outdoor seating. Inside the cottage, a coffee maker, mini fridge and toaster allow the conveniences of any hotel - but with luxury, views and comfort that is unsurpassed.

Located north of Milwaukee and just 15 minutes south of historic Kohler, there is plenty to do for those looking to stay busy. However, if you are looking to do absolutely nothing in a luxurious private setting than The Cottage is where you need to be.

As a romantic getaway, a charming stay for a girls weekend, or a family with children The Cottage at Casa del Lago is an ideal home away from home.

The alternate name for Casa del Lago is The Sanctuary, with good reason. This is a property like none other. The smell of cedar, the wind in the trees, the lapping and/or roar of the waves, with the morning birds, will transform your body and mind during your stay.

We're pretty sure your first time visiting The Cottage at Casa del Lago will not be your last... Come and find out for yourself!

Extremely peaceful and beautiful location. We didn’t get a lot of lake time due to rain and (sadly) some big flies on the beach during the bright windless day, but we loved the firepit and the sound of the waves. Everything was great in the cabin.

Excellent stay at the beach

We stayed two nights in early August. The cottage was clean and well maintained. I had to reset the regulator valve on the grill, but that only took a couple of minutes. The 2nd sleeping area isn’t really a bedroom, but it worked well for our two kids.Overall it was a wonderful stay.

Beautiful property, loved the beach

My wife and I stayed at the Cottage for a weekend. The beach on the property is beautiful. The sand is perfect. We didn't see anyone else on the beach. The Cottage is nice. The furnishings are very classy. We found this was a much better option than staying at the American Club.

Fantastic little cottage, on beautiful property

Very clean, warm and inviting cottage. Loved the sand beach, the sound of the waves from the lake and the wind moving through the trees. Appreciate the beautiful flower boxes outside the windows. The cottage is just as advertised, had a great weekend enjoying the solitude.

Gorgeous Setting

The Cottage is in a beautiful wooded setting, 30 yards or so away from the beach. The Casa del Lago complex is extremely well done, with gorgeous landscaping and trimming of the native trees and plants. During our all-too-brief stay at the Cottage there was no one else in the complex, so it was extraordinarily quiet and peaceful.

Tranquil getaway

We highly recommend this property for a tranquil getaway on a pristine beach on lake Michigan. The large sandy beach and clean and refreshing waters of the lake were amazing. Everything you need for a day at the beach is included. The cottage was charming, quaint and exceptionally clean and well maintained. The setting among the cedar forest and ferns was dreamy and relaxing. Communication with the host was stellar, and we hope to return soon!

About the host

Hosted by George

Host profile image
I’ve been in the creative field since my early days in business, whether conceptualizing and creating commercials for some of America’s iconic brands, to designing, remodeling and decorating exceptional properties.

Having searched for the perfect lake front property for what seemed like an eternity, I came across this property, I knew this was it, and was inspired to call it Casa del Lago. We developed a theme of construction and design specific to each of the property’s 5 buildings and cohesively tied them together to blend with the natural environment of the sandy beach and the beautiful scented cedar forest.

Why they chose this property

When we decided that he wanted to look for a lake house, I was skeptical and hesitant. With two young children at the time and plenty of property maintenance with our home in Chicago, I couldn't imagine taking on another burden.

We had looked in Indiana and Michigan to no avail, but when a friend invited us to Kohler for a visit - we decided to look at some homes along the Lake on our way to their place.

I could hardly contain myself when walking the grounds with the realtor - it was more than we could have ever imagined. As I told my husband then, do not waste another minute looking elsewhere, this was the place.

You will undoubtedly understand why when you come. Casa del Lago has been a blessing to our family not a burden and one we are thankful to be able to share with you.

What makes this property unique

You won't leave the same as you arrived. It is impossible to walk the property, breath in the cedar scented air and hear the constant lapping of the lake and not be changed. You will sleep deeper, feel calmer and find that that the evasive answers to your questions are answered in the space that can only be described as a sanctuary.
