Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
Fun at the Lake is what this property is all about
Why the Owner Chose Wautoma
We were looking for a simple home that still had that feeling of being up north without being on a lake of trophy homes. We found this home in July 2007 and have fixed it up and made many improvements to make it a great place to enjoy the simple life. This is a no wake lake so you won't have to worry about your children getting run over by a jet ski or a boat, so you can sit back an relax and let the children be children.
The Unique Benefits of this House
There is nothing pressing to do, but there are a million things to do. Play in the sand, catch a fish, swing on the swing, play in the sand, take the paddle boat out, catch a frog, have a snack, go for a walk, get a Dilly Bar from Dairy Queen, go for a swim, play a game on the deck, watch an eagle fly in the sky, play in the sand, order take out food from Christiano's, start a fire at dusk, have s'more, have another s'more, okay have another s'more, look at the stars, dream about doing it again tomorrow....

With a family consisting of a teenager, two toddlers, two parents and a grandma we had many needs for a good vacation. This property met them all. We enjoyed relaxing, swimming, and hanging out by the fire, all in a peaceful environment with a nicely stocked cabin. We will definitely consider coming back!

Review Submitted: 08/22/10
We loved this cottage! It's ideal for families with younger kids up to 12 yrs. or so. (The older ones may want more action on a big lake with jet skis and fast boats. The features that we enjoyed the most were the fact that you have a backyard with a little beach that sits right on a lake. Very easy to get up and get out to fish, swim, kyak or just watch the eagles. We also liked the kid's room, eating area (large and overlooks the lake), washer/dryer and access to the boats! Our kids golfed every day right around the corner at the public country club (very affordable and nice courses). There's a nice slide that goes right into the lake and a floating dock to sun on. There are some great restaurants, shops and a large lake down the road if you want to water or jet ski. Just when we were feeling that it was "our little cottage", we had to head home :)
Owner response:Thank you so much! It was a pleasure having you at our cottage on the lake. We are looking forward to seeing you again next year.

We had a great time at this peaceful cottage. It was very clean and had lots of space to relax both inside and out. The quiet lake was great for swimming. Love to stay here again.
