Our time at the lake was awesome again this year! The weather was great. As always, the cottage was clean, well kept, and the lake was cool and refreshing. We used the kayaks, paddle boat and Lilypad all the time. We love coming to the Kettle House! It provides great family time and precious memories.

Beautiful place! Lucky to have had a week there, even if the Minnesota forest fires had the air quality affected. Great open concept living area. Use of the kayaks from either dock handy.

The living area was very sparse without much for lighting. Kitchen was very well stocked. It's a beautiful spot on Crystal Lake and very private. Close to the things that we were doing, which was great. We were told we had to put the garbage can out but it was completely full when we got there and we only put one small bag in there. I put it out to the edge of the driveway, because I didn't know where else it would go. It's a fine rental property. I wish we would have had more time to be there during the day and evening but we were quite busy. Thank you

Wonderful get-away

Beautiful location. Secluded and peaceful. Check-in was simple and hosts provided detailed directions and info. Not a problem the entire week. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, relaxing and ended the week at Road America. Highly recommend!

Best spot on the lake.

The place was great and so was the weather. The addition of the sand “box” was a nice touch. Liz was great to work with as usual. Would definitely rent again.

Great property

This is an amazing place to stay. Being directly on the lake with all the amenities to enjoy is truly wonderful. The house has everything on site to enjoy and relax. Seems the A/C has a little trouble keeping up on hot days but a quick swim definitely does the trick to cool off!

Fishing and Fishing

We usually stay here in the summer but chose a fall trip to just hang with friends and fish. As always it was a relaxing time. This is a great little house and we love it.

Island Getaway

The place is well furnished and steps from the water. If we weren't outside swimming, floating on rafts, and kayaking, we were inside playing games and watching the boats race by. We would definitely rent this place again.

We love staying at the Kettle House. It is so much fun for the grandkids. They just love swimming in the fresh, clear water and jumping off the lily pad. I think this is the best swimming spot on the whole lake. We also love the sunroom to relax in too. The boys enjoy fishing and caught more fish right from the dock this year than out in the lake. We always have a great time here and can't wait for next summer to come back again.

Island Getaway

We've stayed on the island before and it never disappoints. We had a great time again this year. The weather this year was perfect. We spent most of the days swimming and kayaking and the nights playing games and watching tv. We really enjoyed the new lily pad. We can't wait to rent it again next summer.

3 couples annual getaway

We get together once a year from Omaha, St. Louis and Chicago. The house met all of our needs - close to Elkhart Lake, the track and a little day trip to Sheboygan. Had one fisherman with us so he enjoyed the docks while the rest of us either went to the track or to the farmer's market. The screen porch was especially nice. Beautiful location! When another trip is planned for that area, we will certainly remember the Kettle House!

We had a great time again this year. The weather was warm and sunny for the most part. We spent most of the time swimming and kayaking. We loved jumping/diving off the pier into the water. The Lilypad was also hit this year. When we weren't swimming, we were hanging out on the deck watching the boats go by or in the cottage watching tv or playing game. We will definitely rent again next year. Tim

Island getaway!

The weather was hot and sunny. The lake was warm and clear. If we weren't in the water swimming, we were kayaking, paddle boating, or just sitting by the lake watching the boats go by. At night we sat at the kitchen table and played cards and watched tv. We've rented this place before and would definitely rent again. Thanks Liz. Tim

Tremendous!

My wife and I attended a road-racing event (our first) at Road America and found Kettle House on VRBO. The house is not big, but is well-laid-out and spacious. It has four (4!) decks overlooking Crystal Lake, which is a beautiful little lake. Lots of boating, fishing, swimming, etc. We could have spent our whole week at the house. But we didn't. The Road America gates were 6 minutes from our driveway, and charming Elkhart Lake village was less than that. The owners are very meticulous in their care of the house, as well as their instructions to their guests. Thanks, Liz and Dave. Our Kettle House vacation was a 10 on a 10-point scale. We hope we get the opportunity to go back.

Perfect Lakefront Retreat Near Road America

We recently stayed at this lovely home on Crystal Lake Island and had a fantastic experience. The location is simply beautiful, just minutes from Road America, which made our outings convenient. The property was immaculate and had a quaint charm that made it feel like a true getaway. One standout feature was the thoughtful provision of a starter set of supplies. Given that we flew in, it was incredibly helpful to have bottled water, shampoo, body wash, coffee, plenty of TP and PT, and even Tylenol, Advil, and allergy meds (among other things). This level of consideration is beyond what we've encountered in other VRBO rentals and was greatly appreciated. The home itself had ample space for our group of five, with two stunning lakefront areas to relax and enjoy the serene views. The neighbors were also very friendly, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. Everyone in our group slept well, and I particularly enjoyed the lower bunk bed where I slept. The sheets were soft, and the bed was comfy. A particularly nice touch was the water softening system. Hard water is common in Wisconsin, at least at the places we've stayed, but this property has a water softening system which I do believe helped with showering. Google "hard water" if you're not familiar.. Soaps and shampoos seem to never rinse off. Overall, our stay was delightful!! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-appointed retreat near Road America!!
