Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
Our Pretty Lake home is our second home. We love to get there whenever possible and take our kids and grandkids there. We love to swim, hike or take a canoe ride each evening . We love to bird watch from the enclosed porch while sipping our coffee. It is a beautiful place and is very peaceful. Close to amenities, yet far enough away.
Why the Owner Chose Dousman
Bobbin grew up on a nearby lake and is still a lake girl at heart. The Pretty Lake area has a north woods feel to it, and we love hiking at Kettle Moraine State Forest. Pete loves the golf course, only two miles away.
The Unique Benefits of this House
You Will Have a Blast on Vacation at Pretty Lake in Southern Wisconsin ! One thing you MUST do is go to The Kiltie in Oconomowoc- a drive-in restaurant with car hops what'll serve you burgers, onion rings, bratwurst, and the finest frozen custard in the universe.
