7 BR Retreat Lake Estate - 3 Huge Family Rooms *Sleeps 22 in Beds*

The house, the water toys and the grounds were all wonderful

We had a fire in the pit every night to cap off great days

“The Pointe” on Powers Lake is the real deal. It is a gorgeous, clean, comfortable house on the lake - exactly as described. Incredible, historic home, lovingly rehabbed with all the modern amenities that we were looking for. With 10 kids of all ages, having this large property with so many different spaces, inside and out, meant everyone could find something to keep them entertained. At one point, our husbands played bocce while some kids fished, some were swimming and paddle boarding, a few were playing laser tag in the finished basement, some girls watched a movie upstairs and the moms enjoyed peace and uninterrupted conversation - I almost had to pinch myself. (And we still weren’t using all the space!) 😉

The large property gave us the privacy we like for our annual vacation but being on the lake with other homeowners and vacationers allowed us to be close to activity if we felt like being “part of the action” The lake never felt crowded, though on the 4th of July it was busier than usual. We wanted to avoid the overcrowding in Lake Geneva but still have a quick drive from our homes in Illinois - this was ideal.

This group has vacationed together in several locations and this is the first time we want to return to the same location! So glad we found this place.

We are a large group and it’s nearly impossible to please all of us (we can be picky) but I think everyone loved this place for their own reason.

One complaint, please have all mosquitos removed from the entire yard, dock and lake before we arrive for our next visit. 😜 lol

Our big, four-family group with young children stayed for one week and the time went by far too quickly. The home is situated on a very green, grassy, lush, mini-peninsula with a significant number of large trees overlooking wonderful Powers Lake. The property feels like a movie set. Unbelievable! The home is beautiful with a unique design and includes nice furnishings. There is a family room on each floor which allows guests to spread out. The bedrooms are of adequate size and most bedrooms have their own bathroom or share with one other room. There are two refrigerators and two freezers to load in food for the week. There are many windows throughout the home allowing for an abundance of natural light and great views of the lake. Although the house is wonderful and met all of our expectations, our family enjoyed the outdoors the most. The grassy areas surrounding the home were large enough that we could play volleyball, kickball, hide & seek, etc., all at the same time. There is a small beach area next to the private dock with the water only two feet deep from the sand out to approximately halfway to the end of the dock allowing the younger children to play in the water. We enjoyed the fire pit (wood is provided; we cooked s'mores), BBQ, outdoor seating and tables in the front and rear of the home, hammock stretched between two trees, wooden swing covered by a wood gazebo at the far end of the peninsula, canoe, kayaks, and a pontoon boat that seats 20.

Major grocery shopping (Walmart Supercenter) is located 10 minutes away in Lake Geneva which also includes lots of restaurants and a large touristy downtown area.

There are large homes all around the lake but each home is very private and quiet. The property is well maintained. The owner provided good customer service. We would recommend this property to our friends. We plan on coming back soon.

Fit a party of 13 people very easily. The house has everything you could ever need in a rental. The outside area is its own peninsula that has 2 fire pits and plenty of seating for every guest. We spent most of our time in the finished basement playing pool and darts. The pool cues need to be replaced, so we ended up bringing two pool cues from home. The full size refrigerator and full size freezer in the basement was able to fit all of our drinks for the entire weekend. The owner was quick to respond to any of my messages and let me access the garage for as much dry firewood as I wanted since it had rained and the outside firewood was damp. The beds have a thick foam pad on top of each mattress which made sleeping on them extremely comfortable. I highly recommend this property.

8 women gather once a year to reunite. We look for a house that we can spread out, not share beds, have enough bathrooms and cook. This got the bill perfectly! The proximity to Lake Geneva was perfect as well. I highly recommend this Home!
