House was as described and was very comfortable. Heating system worked great which was a concern in the Wi. winter. We had a snow storm when we were there and were plowed out which was not arranged by us so we felt very well taken care of. We were able to walk to the Lakehouse Bar and Grill for an excellent steak sandwich served on a Sheboygan hardroll.

Thanksgiving 2008- Your house is cozy and welcoming. The sunrise and sunsets are spectacular. We tried the Ice Age Trail and had a ball w/ our pups. We slept like a couple of bricks. No 2 sisters on the earth needed some R & R more then we did and “Pine Ridge” was just the right medicine. We’ll be back someday. The fireplace is wonderful!!Carol, Lynda, Asa, Tyson, Blue and JessieA good time was had by all! Thanksgiving Dinner was excellent. Hike along the “Ice” trail was breathtaking - The dogs loved every inch of it. And so did I. -Carol

9-9-09We had a wonderful “very Restful & relaxing” time. Your house is very warm & welcoming. Also we found the Wade House by accident and found I to be a real jewel, as we love seeing the old past restored and remembered. Thanks for letting us share your home! We will always remember this time. Barb & Dennis-- McHenry, Illinois

We just spent New Year's Eve at the cottage - what a great way to start the new year! If you are looking for a clean, comfortable and cozy winter get away this is the place! It has everything you need to settle in and relax. The master bedroom has an incredibly comfortable bed and the living room area is a perfect place to have a fire and relax. We cooked a New Year's eve feast and found the kitchen met all our needs. Highly recommended!

Perfect setting to ring in the New Year! We’ll be back, and we’ll tell our friends to check it out when looking for a get-a-way that’s not too far but feels miles & miles away! Thank you so much Karen!Ellen & John

This group has rented a lot of vacation homes over the years-mostly in the southern New Jersey beach areas. This house compares favorably with those homes. We enjoyed our stay and if we ever get back this way again we’ll see if this place is available. We left you some wine glasses. -Peter from NM & Daniel & Elizabeth from PA

Just a beautiful, cozy home away from home. While we had many plans over this race weekend, I looked forward to coming back to the wonderful TV room. You thought of everything including the hose to rinse off our Porsche! We will be back, Karen, along with Griffin! Thanks- Rhonda & Ed Duffy- Naperville, Illinois

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at this house. It's quiet and relaxing but still close to everything. You can walk to places to eat, places to swim, and town is a short ride away!! We relaxed on the deck and listened to the birds. The beds are the MOST comfortable. the house is big enough for lots of people to gather for fun while still having spaces for someone to curl up with a book. The furnishings are very nice and quite comfortable, not at all like most rentals. If you are looking for a great house as a base for a great time, this is it!!

Riding through the hilly and heavily treed area made us feel a million miles away from home. Love this place, very relaxing and private yet it is close to everything. Lakehouse Bar and Grill, Sir Lancerlot Golf course, and Crystal Lake boat landing are all walking distance. Near by is the Kettle Morraine scenic hiking trails. Elkhart Lake with shops and restraunts is a few short miles away, great to bike to. Comfortable beds, nice kitchen, spacious living space and awesome deck. We felt right at home. Kayaking on Crystal Lake was beautiful and we found swimming spots as well. Enjoy!
