Our bookclub group of 8 women just spent the weekend in this beuatiful home. The house had lots of bedrooms which was great, wonderful communal spaces that worked well for discussions around the fire, a great farmhouse table that held all of us ( and cuoold have held 8 more), many bottles of wine and tons of food we prepared. The kithcen came equipped with lots of china, flatware, glassware and pots and pans. The house was clean adn well maintained. The owner called us the morning after we arrived to make sure we were settled in and did not have any questions or problems,and offered information about nearby activities -a very nice touch. The house is right on the lake with beautiful vista out the windows and off the decks of the lake. We hiked on the lake and met ice fisherman and many others that even in the winter used the lake. The Elegant Farmer was a wonderful country style grocer just down the road with wonderful prepared foods and desserts that enhanced our meals. There were not many fine dining choices in town, but there were grocery stores and necessities were easily had within 10 minutes, and Lake Geneva was a side trip we considered . The house was a two hour drive from downtown Chicago on a snowy winter Friday night. It truly was a wonderful place to relax and unwind, and while there were many activities within 30 minutes, we were quite content to enjoy the wonderful house. This house would also be fabulous for a group of families or a group of adults that wanted to partake in outdoor activities.

Our group of 3 families gathered for 2012 New Years celebration and had a great time. The unit is very spacious and clean. Owner provided plenty of firewood for the fireplace. View out of the living room is simply amazing. Tons of toys and books for kids of all ages. Kitchen has plenty of dishes to accommodate even large groups of people. Looking forward to come back!

This place was exactly as described. Our family, young and old, had ample space. The owner was MORE than accommodating and all of our needs and wants were met. Such a wonderful setting with the absolute best place to watch the sun rise. We would, most definitely, come again!!! I can see that it would be a great gathering space at ANYTIME of the year.

Fall Reunion Weekend

A group of my college buddies rented this house for our annual fall trip. There were 14 of us and the accomodations and experience were perfect. There is plenty of room inside for a large group of adults to hang out if the weather does not permit. And if the weather is nice, the access to the lake speaks for itself. The grill and fireplace are also great ammenities and proximity to the Walmart and Mukwonago retail make the location even more desirable. I highly recommend this rental to groups and families of all ages.

Great property for a gathering

We rented the property for a weekend gathering and couldn't have picked a better place. It was even better than the pictures portrayed. There was plenty of room for everyone. The nice open layout between the kitchen and the living room, with the large windows overlooking the lake, was great for hanging out and enjoy the landscape. We also spent a lot of time outside on the large balcony that wraps around the entire house enjoying the view. The pool table and dart boards came in handy at night for entertainment. A friend of mine brought his boat. We were able to leave it docked in the water right in front, and only had to walk a few steps when we wanted to go on the lake. Overall, everybody had a great time and we would highly recommend this property.

Gorgeous lake house on an awesome lake

This lake house is beautiful. It was spotless when we arrived. My family, sisters and their children all had a memorable time. My 3-year old caught dozens off fish right off the spacious pier. We especially loved the large dining table and generous sleeping accommodations. The weather was just perfect for our weekly stay in August. Thanks to the owner for recommending “Good Time Rentals” – they were great. Really loved that they delivered to the dock.

Perfect Home for Large Extended Families

The layout of the house and the varied bedrooms and bed variety fit us to a tee. We had two familes share and the kids loved the lower level as their own living/sleeping area. Kitchen and common areas had everything needed and the decks, one screened- in were lovely to sit and play games or read a book. Lake Beulah was a very nice clean lake, We were able to rent a pontoon and dock it on the home's large pier. Renting a boat enabled us to tour the lake, play in the nearby sandy area or just float in the middle while the kids jumped in. We also had a jet-ski and that was great to have as everyone loved it and its safe b/c there wasn't much traffic on this lake. Finally, we're from the north burbs of Chicago and it was so easy to get there, under two hours. I would recommend this house for everyone except those less mobile that might find the steep walk down to the dock daunting.

A bunch of my buddiesand I went up over Labor Day weekend, and it was a blast. We played volleyball, bags, and brought a few jet-skis up. It was a great house, and a great setting to spend the days outside bbqing, playing voleyball, and enjoy the great weather. Hopefully we will be back. Thanks for the great place.

Our large family group of 15 stayed very comfortably in this home. There were enough bedrooms for 4 couples to have private rooms which was nice. The house was clean and well equipped with all conveniences. We especially enjoyed the huge table which easily sat our whole group for meals. The screened porch was wonderful in the evening. Renting a boat gave us the best ability to enjoy the huge lake. Very private setting, very comfortable with lots of room to hang out. We would definitely return.
