Megan was great! From the time I booked the lakehouse until we left, she kept an open line of communication; even checking in after a couple days to make sure we didn’t need anything. The house was just as described with an awesome view from the front deck. Overall, our experience was great. Would definitely recommend if anybody wanted to get away to a nice, quiet neighborhood!

About the host

Hosted by Megan Brandt

Host profile image
I recently opened up my lakehouse so other folks can enjoy the happiness and joy it brings to me. I live full time in the Woodstock/Bull Valley IL area which makes it convenient for me to maintain the property to the highest standards. As a family we have enjoyed making memories and my boys love our family game night, bonfires, and pizza making to name a few of the things that have brought us closer together. I have also hosted a few “girls weekends” which are always a fun time enjoying charcuterie boards, wine and reminiscing about life’s adventures. I believe it is important to take time to enjoy the little things like the sound of the waves, the changing of the leaves, or the stillness after a snowfall. I want to allow others the opportunity to find their happiness and hope my house can add JOY!

Why they chose this property

I love morning coffee (or an even glass of wine) on the front porch enjoying the sunrise and sunset on Wonder Lake. The house is decorated seasonally to enjoy all the views! Watching the boats, during the summer, and snowmobiles, in the winter highlight how much there is to see and do in our wonderful town.

The main level living space was fully remodeled in 2019 keeping the original charm while adding a new kitchen, appliances, windows, and furniture to create a decorating vibe that is timeless.

Perfect for a ladies weekend get away, creating family memories or enjoying time with someone special. Located 1.5 hours from Chicago and Milwaukee and 20 minutes from Lake Geneva. There are so many things to do or stay in and relax and reconnect.

What makes this property unique

The lakeside cottage meets modern conveniences make this house unique. Enjoy the small town feel of community farmers markets and parades and great restaurants and activities surrounding. For outdoor enthusiasts there are hiking and biking trails close by. For foodies check out Richmond for great steaks and seafood with love music on the weekends. There is something for everyone.
