We loved the cottage. It was tastefully renovated and had everything we needed. Great view from picture window of the lake and access to dock. Owner was responsive and accommodating. Peaceful lake and not boated out or crazy. Caught good fish on Little Green too and close to Big Green and golf. Loved our stay!

Great family vacation

We had a great family getaway at the Bluegill. The house was clean and we loved the lake view and location. It had everything we needed and was nice that our dog could join us. We brought our fishing boat and rented a pontoon one day from nearby bait shop to get out on Little Green Lake. Would definitely recommend a stay here!!

Very family friendly. We took our daughters and son in laws and 2 granddaughters for a long weekend. The only bad thing was the weather didn’t cooperate one afternoon, otherwise it was a perfect weekend. Our daughters are already talking of coming back again next year.

Loved it!

We had a great time at The Bluegill! The house is nicely decorated and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved that we could bring our boat and tie it to the pier and fish easily. We launched right up the street at The Landing and the owner gave use great information on where to fish the lake. We will be back! Thank you Phil and Judy!

Little Green Stay

Property was very nice, kitchen was particularly well appointed, beds were comfortable but small since we prefer king size beds. Some of the chairs in living room and dining room need to be upgraded. And the railings by the lake need to be replaced. A comfortable place to stay and views of lake and sunsets were lovely.

What makes this property unique

Little Green Lake is a beautiful and quiet lake with kind and welcoming neighbors. It is close to Madison and Milwaukee but has an "up north" feel.
