Paradise
A beautiful, relaxing weekend.. Rain or shine, all enjoyed their stay. Amazing sunrise and moon lite night..
Thank you kindly
Thank you Sally,
I’m so happy you had a wonderful stay. Call me to set up your next visit. You were a pleasure to deal with.
Take care

A nice place to reconnect with old friends & renew relationships
Overall our stay was enjoyable. A couple of improvements would have made it more enjoyable. The toaster did not work properly. One of the lamps in the upstairs west bedroom did not have a switch. The living room furniture was quite uncomfortable. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had plenty pots and pans. The lake while having a sandy beach was quite weedy. No place to sit down by the water.
Hi Joe,
I am glad you enjoyed your stay.
I wish you would have given me a call. The toaster works fine,
you just have to hold it down for a second. All lamps have switches or are connected to the light switch. There are 2 recliner chairs in the living room and the couch is leather, so we can keep it clean easier for renters. The seaweed is picked
up daily by a boat, we leave a rake, so it can be pushed to the side and the boat will pick up.
Beautiful location
This place was a perfect spot for our family for the weekend. We had a family wedding in downtown Burlington- so this was perfect! Only 5 min away from downtown.
Kids had fun fishing, swimming water was mucky so we didn’t t do much of that. Having a fire at night was relaxing.
The house was very clean.
Thanks!
I am so glad everything worked out great staying at the house for the wedding. The water is spring fed, so actually very clean
and clear. There are lots of great sandy swimming areas. We have some sand going into water by beach. It is a mud bottom
by the pier, which makes it very good for fishing. Please come
visit again.
Thank you,
Tammy
Mini girls trip !
We loved staying here. It was the perfect place for a mini reunion with some old friends. The house is adorable beautifully decorated comfortable living space large bedrooms. Being right on the lake was so beautiful. There is everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of linens and plenty of towels. It was also a quick 20 minute ride to Lake Geneva where there was nice dining and shopping. I would recommend staying at Tammy‘s home. I know we are planning another trip to come back in the near future ourselves. Thank you Tammy for opening up your home for myself and my friends we were all very impressed and pleased with our stay. Thank you again !
Dear Lisa,
I love to hear how much people have enjoyed the house and their trip. It makes the effort worth it. I hope you come back, summer books up quick, so give me a call when you decide.
Thank you
Tammy

Thank you, we do our best to try and make it a wonderful getaway. I am so happy you appreciated the home, it makes
all the effort worth it.
Thank you,
Tammy
The house was beautiful & accommodating.
My friends & I had a great time at the lake house! We were pleased with everything the property had to offer & there was plenty of room for all of us. Tammy answered all of my questions in a timely manner & was very easy to deal with. This was our first time using VRBO & renting a vacation home.The whole experience was satisfying & we look forward to another trip! Thank you again for letting us use your beautiful home!

Map
Browns Lake is located in historic Burlington, Wisconsin. Our cottage is minutes from town where you can shop in quaint stores or dine in first class restaurants. Nearby Bong Recreational Nature Preserve has much to offer the adventurer. Grocery and pharmacy nearby as well. Browns Lake is home to the famous Aquaducks ski team with free shows every Saturday night at 6 p.m. In the winter, enjoy some of the greatest skiing and snowboarding that Southern Wisconsin has to offer. Twenty minutes northwest is Alpine Valley Resort, the larges ski area in the kettle moraine region (20 trails/11 lifts); 20 minutes to the south is Wilmot Mountain set on one of the great glacial terminal moraines (25 trails/11 lifts). Lake Geneva, ten minutes away, offers more great shopping and dining experiences, but we are sure you won't want to leave Browns Lake. Summer or winter--it's a great place to be! Just bring your suitcases and relax!
Other Activities: snowmobiling, sledding, snowboarding
