Beautiful lake house.
Lake house was clean and beautiful. Enjoyed browns lake. Great place for a vacation. Definitely going to go back next year. Fun for everyone.
We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Please come back
and visit us again.
Thank you,
Tammy
Nice, clean house
We all enjoyed the house, good bed linens, good appliances, TV. etc. Of course Brown's Lake is terrific.
We arrived on Friday 7/27 and on Sunday evening put garbage out for pickup on Monday. The shed contained five (5) trash cans of packed, smelly, maggot infested garbage, which we put out. I hope your maintenance person will put our garbage out because we left on Friday 8/3.
Your website shows that a kayak is available just like TV, appliances, etc. Two canoes were locked up and we understand it takes an additional $100 each to use them. This leave a sore taste.
Beautiful lake and home for a relaxing time away
We (two adults, two teens) were delighted to find this home for our recent short getaway. Everything was as pictured - clean, nicely decorated, and ideally located right on the lake for ease of use and views. The transactions with Tammy leading up to our stay were easy and she made us feel welcome to her home.
The lake itself is decent for swimming, delightful for boating, and has just enough motorized boat activity on it to make it fun to people watch while being quiet enough to enjoy the nature and each other's company.
The town of Burlington has the best of both worlds - convenient amenities as well as small town charm are just a short drive away. Additionally, Lake Geneva is close enough for a few hours of shopping and dining.
Thank you, Tammy, for opening up your home to us! We enjoyed our stay very much.
Thank you Amanda. So happy you enjoyed your stay. I love when people appreciate the care we put into the home and so glad you felt welcome. Please come visit again.
Sincerely,
Tammy
Spacious lake home w/ everything you need for a group w/ kids
A great rental for a weekend gathering. Perfect central meeting place for folks from Milwaukee, Chicago and Madison. We loved the 3 large bedrooms (w/ space for pack and play cribs), 2 spacious bathrooms (w/ sauna), 2 large living areas (1 w/ pool table) and the awesome sand / front lawn / lakefront / canoe.
Small surprises: drip coffee maker did not work (there is also a Keurig that we did not use), lake water muckier than expected, kids high chair adapter didn't have strap to secure to chair.
Our group would definitely go back.
Glad you enjoyed. The coffee maker is working, so I’m not sure what went wrong. The high chair is not on website and was left by a prior renter. The lake is spring fed and very clear and clean, there is a mud bottom in places,and sand in places, all which help promote a healthy fishing environment.
Beautiful lakehouse, lots of room, picture perfect views!
Stayed for Memorial weekend. It was a girls weekend of 8 of us. Grilled out one night. Had a fire in the fire pit another. Did some fishing off the pier. Played lawn games and sat on the deck soaking up the sun. Plenty of room for all of us to sleep and relax. Mornings having coffee out on the 2 decks overlooking the lake was breath taking. Very peaceful and quiet. House was decorated so cute. Kitchen was fully stocked with every small appliance, cookware, dishware and gadgets. Plenty of room to dine around the table or sit at the breakfast bar. The owner Tammy answered quickly when there were questions. Definately will rent again!
Thank you Sandy. I love to hear how much people are enjoying the house and the lake. Hope you come back and visit.
Great Time
House and property were great! Plan to stay again in the future
So glad you enjoyed!! Please come back and visit.

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
