About this property

Making Memories: Luxury Lakeshore Retreat

LOCATION IS EVERYTHING!
Enjoy the beauty & tranquility of luxury lakefront living in the Northwoods! While many of our guests come simply to relax and get away from it all; some guests like to take advantage of the area's recreation and near-by attractions. Regardless of why you are coming, location is everything; and we have a great location!
Everything you need to enjoy your own private resort-like vacation is here! Boaters can bring your boat or rent one. We also have kayaks, life jackets & water shoes (kid to xl adult sizes).
The backyard is the perfect gathering place for multiple activities going on at the same time! There is also a unique Tiki Hut with a fireplace, electricity & option to roll wall size flexible windows up to enjoy the outside from inside! Whatever you spend your time doing while you are staying at this beautiful lake home, rain or shine, we tried our very best to provide everything you need to have a fun vacation, making memories with your family and friends.
In the winter, it’s ice fishing, snowmobile & cross country skiing season. Pack your sleds and catch the trail! Ice fishers can bring your gear or hire a guide to catch your fill of whitefish & walleye!
A 2 minute walk to Smully’s Bar & Grill with outdoor seating on the beautiful lake is a nice way to catch a quick meal! 5 minute drive is Little Creek Lodge Bar & Grill , 16 minutes to Lambeau Field & Titletown's adventure park and several restaurants is a fun outing! 15 minutes to Vickery Village; a truly unique experience of restaurants, breweries & bar/grills in walking distance from each other is a local and guest favorite! And located 17 minutes away is infamous Bay Beach Amusement Park & the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park & so much more!
Our location is also on the fishing HOT SPOT of the lake & our location has BREATHTAKING panoramic lake views! RELAX & watch the sunrise & sunset!


Note: The water is shallow for about 150 feet and mostly sand bottom. However, the lake water is always changing & does wash up rocks even though we try hard to take them out; so it is advisable to wear water shoes.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great thanksgiving

Our family stayed here over thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. The views of the bay are spectacular. This would have probably been more fun in the summer. But was still a great time.

Little Suamico Retreat

An extremely beautiful home in a peaceful location on Green Bay. Very clean accommodations with everything you would need and in close proximity to Lambeau Field. Our family especially enjoyed the game room. Also location to Smulley's Bar was a very convenient 5 min. walk for drinks and dining. 5++ star property. - R&J Wenzel Kirkland, WA

Great experience

Donna and James, We read some of the great reviews and we agree!! We too were so impressed by the photos that we booked without any further searching! The house exceeded all of our expectations, and more. The beds and linens were so wonderful! We loved the game room for hanging all together! Loved the Smully's Bar & were happy we could "walk" back to the house (wink). Also, the kitchen has EVERYTHING!

Amazing stay

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful property! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The house itself is stunning, tastefully decorated, and meticulously maintained. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the home was well-stocked with all the essentials, from kitchen supplies to toiletries, which made our stay so much easier and more convenient. The outdoor space, particularly the lake view, is a great bonus. It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet.Overall, this property exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Framily Getaway

You read that right...Framily...Our two families of 5 love to vacation together. We googled on a whim and booked impulsively! We lucked out. Our stay was wonderful. The views were just gorgeous. It is very much off the beaten path where only locals dwell and we loved it that way. Smully's on the Bay was in walking distance and we ate Luigi's, Wouters, 888, and enjoyed the Ahnapee Brewery. The binder left by the owners recommended everything and we can't wait to come back and try the other places we didn't make it to this time. The house is fully equipped and honestly we over packed. This is the perfect place for relaxing and recharging.

Perfect Vacation!

This property is exactly what we needed to escape urban life. The house and location are even better in person. And the lake views are breath taking!!!! Traveling with children it's always nice to have many in/outdoor toys and life vests already at the property so they don't need to be packed and this property has so much! The location is nice and private with plenty to do in the area or for any day trip. More than likely you'll be completely satisfied just hanging at the lake like we were. The home is beautiful and super clean and everything is like new!!! Donna was great and offered many great local recommendations and was very quick to respond during our communication. I would highly recommend this home and hope to come back for another Northwoods adventure. We're so glad that we found this house.

About the host

Hosted by Donna & James Schmitz

Host profile image
Hosts James (from Wheaton, IL) and Donna Schmitz (from DePere, WI) love the outdoors- hiking, biking, water sports, tennis, pickle ball - We love to travel, spend time with our families and enjoy the beauty of Nature.

We found this gem and are thrilled to share it with you so you can make memories here too. We put our heart and soul into renovating the home.

Why they chose this property

A little about the property. The house is unique in that it was actually built by a Ship Builder, thus the many nautical looking features throughout. Each upper room has its own staircase which helps with privacy when sharing the home with other families.

The property also has a gorgeous tea house! We call it the tiki hut but it really is a little house full with a wood burning fireplace and electricity. We have a T.V. In there as well. Perfect for cooler days/evenings when you want to be outside but stay warm too. This is a family favorite as well.

The other cool feature about this property is that we have turned the garage into a living space for a game room and extra living room - so it has a sofa sectional & large T.V. along with a dedicated space for young children and the rest of the space has games such as double basketball, darts, a full size ping pong table, etc. This room is among our family favorites, as it is large enough to have everyone doing their thing at once! A great social room.

Out and around the neighborhood there is a public boat launch (100’ away), a bar & grill (Smully’s) and a quiet neighborhood of mostly cabins and cottages.

What makes this property unique

It’s beautiful! We’ve been told that our property is the prize of this small neighborhood. It’s light and bright; and minimally decorated so as not to overwhelm anyone - and we spend a ton of time keeping it looking and being its best. You are not going to experience warn items or dated anything! It will always be fresh and clean and clear of accumulation that so often happens in other properties.
