Our family moved from Ohio to the Milwaukee area in 2014. Josh is a bank executive and Celine is a stay at home mom.
Why they chose this property
During our time in Wisconsin we have visited the Chain many times. The activity and vibe of the Chain was an immediate draw. We have been looking for years for the perfect lake house but nothing was quite right. That is until we found Calm Waters Vacation Home! The house has plenty of space for our family and for guests visiting. This is not mentioning the lakefront! Nothing brings us more joy than watching our 11 year old and 13 year old endlessly jump off the end of the dock! The assurance that this is a no wake lake creates a sense of calm that my kids are out on the water and nobody is going to come zooming by and not see them swimming. We also love boating around the Chain! One of my kids favorite things is boating to Clearwater Harbor and swimming while the waitresses serve us on our own boat! Of course they love, love, love walking to Scoopers to get a huge scoop of ice cream in their homemade waffle cones! This property has been such a blessing to our family and we are so happy to share these experiences with you!
What makes this property unique
What makes our property unique is the inside has plenty of space for families and groups! There are 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms and 1/2 bathroom! No waiting in line to use the bathroom! The basement is a walkout level to the water and has a full bar seating area! The lakefront is a no wake lake while having an area off the dock deep enough to jump off into! It is within a 5 minute boat ride to two recreational lakes. It is also a 1/2 mile walk to The Wheelhouse, Indian Crossings Casino, Dings Dock, Becker Marine and Scoopers! There is so much to do around Calm Waters all year!!
