Our Silver Lake cottage home is one of the last remaining William Walker cottages built circa 1900 as part of the original Silvercryst resort. The classic cottage was recently extensively expanded and renovated to make it an updated all season home with modern amenities while still maintaining historical character (including refinished original douglas fir floors). PLUS, BRAND NEW OPEN KITCHEN COMPLETED 2023.
MINIMUM STAY REQUIREMENTS are provided near end of this Description.
Located on Big Silver Lake which features 350 acres of boating, fishing, water skiing, jet skiing, tubing, swimming, water sports, and kayaking in the crystal clear natural spring fed and sand bottom lake.
Our home faces the lake toward the Southwest which provides amazing sunsets. We also have 75' feet of sandy beach frontage, with a private pier and swimming raft. There is space to dock or beach your own fishing boat, ski boat, or pontoon boat. Owner's 3-person WaveRunner PWC and/or Pontoon Boat is available for rental to qualified renters.
Our home features 3 formal bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms. In addition, we have a large bunk room in the lower level (accessed from home's main stairway or from a separate external entrance) which has 2 additional sleeping areas. The home sleeps up to 12 people comfortably. All mattresses are relatively new with little use.
The all season porch (with radiant heated floor) is the best room featuring walls of windows, vaulted ceiling, fans, cozy seating area, and dining for 8 - 10.
The interior of the home features a gas fireplace, 3 flat screen smart TV's, whole house sound system, high speed 300 MB WiFi, central air conditioning, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. The bunk area features a PS2 gaming system, flat screen tv, stereo, electric fireplace, mini fridge, and additional seating.
The exterior features a 7 person hot tub, outdoor shower, large deck, charcoal grill, fire pit, landscaped lot with mature trees/shrubs, large level lot to lake, and a unique 4 person yard swing constructed from an antique ski lift chair. There are only 2 steps down to the pier.
Two kayaks, two stand up paddle boards, and two hybrid/mountain bikes are available for use.
The house is a short walking distance to the Silvercryst resort for dinner, drinks, entertainment, and the famous beach bar.
The home is just minutes from Wautoma which features additional restaurants, shopping, antiquing, and golfing.
This cottage lake home has it all and is only a 2 hour drive Northwest of Milwaukee, 1.5 hours from Madison, 3.5 hours from Chicago, and 4 hours from Minneapolis. If you get tired of Silver Lake, Wisconsin Dells is an hour drive.
Includes all kitchen items, washer/dryer, bed linens, and bathroom towels.
No smoking and no pets please.

PLEASE NOTE MINIMUM NIGHT STAY REQUIRMENTS. During peak Summer season (~July - August), we generally require a 7 night minimum stay. We periodically make exceptions to this, but only for mid-week stays. Meaning, Monday - Friday, we may allow 4-5 night stays as our schedule allows.
During the off-season (not July/August), we offer shorter stays (minimum of 3 nights in off-season).

WINTER FUN TOO!
Snowmobiling: State & Club Snowmobile trails accessible from the Silver Lake corridor.
Skiing/boarding: Nordic Mountain is a 10 minute drive. It's a very nice local hill which also has snow-tubing for those who don't ski. Cascade Mountain is larger and is a 45 minute drive. Granite Peak is even larger and boasts the most vertical feet in WI and is just over an hour drive.
Snowshoe/hike/cross country ski : Ice Age trail access point is a 15 minute drive.
Ice Fishing on Silver Lake and Irogami lake is very popular.

We'd be happy to speak to you by phone if you have any additional questions.

Our home has it all for family summer & winter fun and a relaxing lake home vacation experience!
