About this property

LUXURY 5BR LAKE HOUSE MINUTES FROM SAND VALLEY GOLF COURSE AND LAKE PETENWELL

With a sandy beach and beautiful view of Lake Arrowhead outside your back door and over 7000 square feet inside, Deansbiggin Lake House is the definition of comfortable luxury. Part of the Lake Arrowhead golf community, this spacious vacation rental is just right for a family reunion, a corporate event or a getaway with friends.

The Deansbiggin Lake House combines a modern spacious layout with a comfortable English country flair. There is room for 10 people to kickstart their morning around dining table and 6 more at the breakfast bar. The three season porch off the kitchen is an excellent place for your morning cup of coffee. The main level gourmet kitchen and a second kitchenette downstairs makes entertaining a crowd a snap. The Weber grill provides another option for that barbecue connoisseur in your party.

After a busy day spent golfing at the Sand Valley Championship Course, fishing muskie or walleye on Lake Petenwell, hiking Castle Rock State Park, or exploring the Wisconsin Dells area, you can relax in one of the three gathering rooms each with its own television and amenities. Or maybe you will enjoy staying closer to home and spend your day kayaking, fishing pan fish, water-sliding (check out your own private slip n slide on Youtube at Deansbiggin Lake House slip n slide), paddle boarding, building sand castles, or toasting marshmallows around the fire pit in your backyard. You do have access to your own private dock and sandy beach and water sports equipment.

Deansbiggin Lake House sleeps 12 persons. There are 4 Bedrooms on the second level. The two queen bedrooms have their own half bath and a shared shower/tub room. The king bedroom has en-suite bathroom with shower. The dormitory bedroom has 3 twin beds and two full-size cribs. The main level has a fold-out twin sleeper sofa and half bath.

This was our second stay, and just as lovely! This home has loads of space, and everything you could need. During the day we enjoyed swimming, fishing, water sports, and the water slide! In the evening we grilled on the deck enjoying the view and made a camp fire to roast marshmallows for dessert! Look no further, this is the one!

Perfect Getaway!

We had an absolute blast at this rental home. The house itself was even nicer than the pictures. Tons of space and well stocked with everything you could need. The lake was a great size and ideal for water sports and swimming. We enjoyed fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and boating. We cooked on the grill and used the fire pit for s’mores! We loved it so much, before leaving we rebooked for next summer!

Lake arrowhead getaway

We continue to come back to this amazing house! The home itself was extremely clean and all the small details are well thought out. It has all the amenities of home especially in the kitchen and laundry rooms with fun water activities (kayaks, paddle boards, floats). Rick’s communication was excellent, responded almost instantly to text messages and was always very helpful.

Amazing Lake House Property

My friends and I were up for some golf and a fantasy football draft. Everything about Rick’s house on the lake met and exceeded expectations. It’s a spacious property with lots of amenities (the slide being a real hit). I also really appreciated the detailed information to the house provided prior to our stay so we could be easily acquainted with everything. It was unanimous that this Vrbo was one to come back to in the future. Cheers.

Anniversary Celebration

Great time! Home was clean and very roomy. Plenty of bathrooms and no lack of hot water. Kitchen very convenient for meal prep and cleanup. Lots of time spent on the slip and slide and with the kayaks and SUP boards. Ping pong table and air hockey tables got use as well. Used the fire pit at night. The outdoor shower was very useful. Plenty of room around the dining table for our board games. Any time anyone needed some peace, there were many rooms to find space. Basement rec room was enormous and well laid out. Great vacation home!

Meaningful family memories

Amazing. The View is spectacular. Our teenage grandchildren who live on their phones, spent hours in the water swimming, using the kayaks and lily pad. The boys especially loved they could fish. Downstairs in the recreational room they played ping pong and ice hockey for hours, And of course, no grown ups But the biggest hit was the slip and slide. What a great feature. Everyone played on the slip and slide for hours. So much fun. So many toys to chose from kept them busy. Never left the property. Everyone in our group left saying, What a great time. “Can we come back again?” From teenagers, Yup. It’s a winner. But for us adults who have busy lives to have privacy not just within ourselves, but could find that in your beautiful home as well, is what makes a true getaway. Thank you Rick. What a gracious host you were. We walked away with life-time memories.

Fabulous trip!

Our three families (6 adults/5 kids, aged 4-8) loved Deansbiggin! We didn’t leave the property over our three day stay except to buy bait for the kids. Everything was incredibly clean & spacious. The outdoor amenities were top notch (3 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, tons of sand toys, fishing poles, fire pit, etc. not to mention the water slide)! We had great communication with Rick throughout the stay, and check in/check out was a breeze. Thank you for the venue to create so many memories!

Fun and Relaxing Getaway

This is our second year in a row at this property. Our family had a great time again. The house is beautiful, comfortable, plenty of room for everyone to have some space, with a great kitchen, a spacious deck, and of course the famous slip n slide! The weather wasn’t the best for our late June visit, but we made the best of it. The owner has been super to deal with. We kayaked, had fire with s’mores each evening, and all had some much needed relaxation. A wonderful property!

Wonderful lakefront home

My family had a wonderful time staying in this lovely home. The home is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking meals. The view of the lake is lovely and the neighborhood is very quiet. We had a great time using the kayaks and paddleboards. And the slip & slide was a big hit with everyone! The owner is terrific to work with--he was very responsive to all of our needs. As we were leaving all of my children asked when we could come back and stay again. This is a terrific place to stay, relax, and play.

Creating fun family memories

Our family (6 adults & 4 kids) thoroughly enjoyed our time at the lake house. We can’t say enough about how easy Rick made our stay, from promptly answering any questions we had, to opening up such a beautiful home to us. Lots of space for everyone. The slip n slide was AWESOME… paddle boards, kayaks, ping pong table and air hockey were a hit also. Great golf courses and mini golf near by and very easy to get our supplies at the trading post, which was also near by. Highly recommend! Dave G

July 24-28, 2021 family vacation

My family (6 adults & 2 kids) just got back from a GREAT vacation at this property. The property was more then we expected. We loved everything about the inside and outside of the house. There was a lot of outside lake toys to choose from.There was plenty of room for all of us. The only time we left was for a quick trip to the Trading Post. The slide was so fun. Our day would always end in the lower level playing air hockey, ping pong and watching a family movie. Rick the owner was great to work with. He responded quickly with any questions I had. My family and I all said we highly recommend this property. Great memories were made.
