Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the yard and got out on the water with the bikes, paddle boat, and kayaks — that’s exactly what a stay at Wenopa is all about. Hope to host you again soon!

The piece of land was incredible and so family friendly! There was even games/ toys for children of all ages. The house was equipped with everything we needed including life jackets, paddle boats, a dock, COFFEE haha. Lots of small touches that were a huge plus for our family. We enjoyed using the campfire, swimming in the lake, and using the beautiful Blackstone grill that was provided as well. 10 out of 10. Lots of memories were made!

Thank you so much for this glowing review — it truly made our day! We're so glad Wenopa felt like the perfect fit for a family vacation. And yes, the starter supply of coffee had to be there 😄. Lake Manitou is such a special spot, and it's wonderful to hear you got to soak it all in — the campfire, the swim in the lake, and firing up the Blackstone. Memories like that are exactly what we hope every family walks away with. Thank you for taking such good care of the place, and we'd love to have you back anytime!

Stay at Lake Manitou

Great property out on a point in the lake, 3 piers!One we could dock our boat at, one by a fire pit,& one off the deck for swimming. Fished off all the docks!Planning on staying again next season!

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and made the most of everything the property has to offer. It’s wonderful to hear that the three piers got plenty of use—fishing, boating, swimming, and relaxing by the fire pit sound like the perfect lake vacation! And we're especially happy you got out on the water with our two kayaks—such a peaceful way to explore the lake. We’d love to welcome you back next season. Until then, we hope your memories of Lake Manitou magic keep you smiling!

I can't say enough how wonderful this place is. The best part was the placement on the lake - on a peninsula where you're surrounded on 3 sides with the lake. Amazing and multiple views. At one point, we had members of our family launching kayaks off one dock, fishing off another, and accepting a pontoon rental at the third pier. The grounds were clean and well maintained, too. The house itself was perfect for our crew of 7. All the amenities you'd want and need plus more. And also so clean. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, toys, amenities and details we wouldn't have even thought of. Can't wait to go back. 5 stars

Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re thrilled that the peninsula setting on Lake Manitou delivered exactly the experience we hope every family gets — kayaks off one dock, fishing off another, and the pontoon pulling up at the third, all at once. That’s Wenopa at its best. So glad the house worked well for a group of 7 and that all the little details didn’t go unnoticed. We can’t wait to have you and your family back on the lake soon!

Cozy and relaxing

Great property for a weekend stay. We loved the lot, the house was quaint, cozy and clean. Well furnished with everything we needed, well labeled and everything had its place! The property manager was very responsive and you can tell that they take pride in their home. The location on the lake is great, we enjoyed fishing and using the water sport amenities!

Perfect spot for a relaxing weekend at the lake. Old time feel with all the modern needs. The largest yard in the neighborhood, there is plenty of room for the kids to roam. The wildlife and fire pit area were a key part of the experience. Paddle boat and Kyacks were perfect for the cove it’s in. Would love to come back in the heat of the summer and explore more of the lake. We made memories on our trip you simply don’t get at a hotel. This place has everything you need already thought of. I am very happy my family had this opportunity due to this beautiful property.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It genuinely made our day to read that your family created memories that a hotel simply can't replicate — that's exactly what we hope every guest experiences here. We would absolutely love to have your family back in the heat of the summer — the lake truly comes alive that time of year and there's so much more to explore. Hope to see you again soon!

Wonderful location. Super refreshing. Warm, clean and cozy. All stay-related amenities available and easily accessible. Many options and equipment available onsite for outdoor activities - bikes, boat, fire-pit, a wonderful and big deck, lots of tree-covered ground to walk around, and of course the lake.The only thing that wasn’t very clear from the photos is that the center queen bedroom is not enclosed with a privacy door - a minor surprise for us, but overall excellent and relaxing stay.

Lovely spot, excellent get-away

This lake house is cozy, spotless and well maintained. The house has everything you need: new appliances, comfortable furnishings and everything works. The property is beautiful--we loved watching the water and identifying all of the birds we spotted in the trees, on the water and on the peninsula (the goslings were adorable and comical to observe). The outdoor space is very livable--and when it rained, we were happy indoors. We were 3 adult friends on an artist retreat, and this was perfect for us. We each had enough space to spread out and do our own thing, and there was ample common space when we came together to talk, cook and eat together. We also enjoyed the kayaks, the lake is lovely!

We love hearing that you enjoyed the peaceful views, the local wildlife (the goslings are our favorite too!), and the kayaks on the lake. Thank you again for staying with us—we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!

Definitely being water shoes as the walk in is rocky. Loved everything about house and property. Only grill is a blackstone but it was perfect for all our meals. We discovered blackstone grilled corn on the cob and will make it at home!! The peninsula is so nice, it gives you so much privacy, but the neighbors are very friendly.
