Come be our guests in this Wisconsin cottage just north of Lake Geneva on the Lauderdale chain of lakes. This fully furnished home is located on Green Lake, the northern most of the 3 spring-fed lakes that total 950 acres.

The house sits about 50 feet from the water facing west for beautiful summer sunsets which can be enjoyed from the screen porch, the stone BBQ patio, the boathouse roof-top, or the waterfront patio with private pier.

Our four bedroom home with hide-a-bed will accommodate up to ten people. There is a full kitchen, separate dining room, and generous living room with splendid views of the lake. Enjoy cocktails and dinner on the roof of the boat house, relax and read in the hammock, and play with the kids in the swimming area! If you are lucky, perhaps you will be preparing your own fresh-caught fish for dinner, if not, there are plenty of dining and grocery options nearby.

The lakes are great for fishing, with Large and Small Mouth Bass, Bluegill, Northern Pike, and Walleye so bring your boat! Additionally, boats and Jet Skis can be rented from the Lauderdale Lakes Marina. On the adjacent bay there is a free water ski show every Friday night put on by the Lauderdale Aqua Skiers water ski show team.

Close to Kettle Moraine State park for biking and hiking and horseback riding. There are lots of antique shops in Elkhorn, East Troy, and Lake Geneva, and 15 golf courses in the area. There is plenty to do, but you may just choose to stay and play in the lake!

Why the Owner Chose Lake Geneva

When to opportunity arose to buy this turn of the century (the last one!) cottage, in this idyllic locale, so close to home, we couldn't pass it up!

A
Cedar Bend Farm

Our favorite place for farm fresh produce and the best eggs, straight from the chickens!

B
Public Boat Launch

You can launch your boat less than a mile from our cottage.

C
Lauderdale Lakes Marina

Boat Rentals, repairs & gas dock.

D
Watson's Wild West Museum

If our cottage hasn't taken you far enough back in time, visit Watson's Wild West Museum to hear, see and read of the dreams gained or lost by generations passed, and relive the thrill of The Legends

E
La Grange Country Store

Sandwiches, Ice Cream, good wine selection, Bike shop & Bike Rentals

F
Rushing Waters Trout Farm

N310 County Road H, great fish, and if you want a guaranteed catch, it's the proverbial "shooting fish in a barrel"!

G
Frank's Country Market

Groceries, Fishing License, liquor store next door

H
Marathon Gas

Usually the cheapest gas around!

 

Owner's Map of Lake Geneva

Our family loves vacationing at the lake! It's just an hour and a half away, but it feels like a thousand miles, and years back in time to a quieter bygone era. When we pull in to the driveway, the first thing the kids want to do is get into their suits, and run off the end of the dock into the water! They often pause though to swing on the rope-swing strung 40' up in an oak tree. After a day of playing in the lake, and dinner outside watching the sunset, we often head back into the woods for a bonfire, marshmallows & s'mores at our fire pit.

    • We had a wonderful time at this lake house. It has everything you need for the week and more. The views of the lake are breathtaking and it sits on tree lined property. The front yard tree swing is great for all. The owner, Doug is good to work with and gladly gives advice on boat launch,restaurants and where to find farm fresh eggs. You can't go wrong with this lake front cottage.

    • This wonderful home was perfect for our weekend. We could not have picked a better place to spend our, “getaway.” From the gorgeous treelined land the home sits on to the unbelievable view overlooking one of the cleanest lakes I have ever seen, you will never experience weekend like this. The owner is extremely nice and very helpful in everyway. He only wants you to enjoy your time away at his lake house. The interior of the cottage is like out of a post card. The pictures on the site don’t due this beautiful home justice. The huge kitchen and living room will enhance any meal. The waterfront and deck on the boathouse will keep you outside all day. There is so much to talk about this home…you will just need to experience it your self and you will understand.
