The PERFECT Vacation Home!!
This home could not have been more perfect for our girls weekend! To start, Jo Ellen, the owner is an absolute pleasure to work with. She made us feel so welcome there! The house is so beautifully decorated and feels warm, cozy and welcoming! It is well stocked, with everything you could possibly need! It is very clean and well taken care of. The location is amazing, right near the water with a perfect waterfront view from the deck. We walked everywhere - to the beach, town, shops, restaurants! Green Lake is a charming little town and had a Farmers Market in town while we were there. We also visited a nearby winery and brewery (short drive). Although this house was perfect for a girls weekend, it has sleeping arrangements that would also work well for families. I can't say enough great things - we loved it!
Incredible Memorial Day Weekend!
We had a group of 9 stay at the house and it fit us all very well. Everything in is a simple walking distance away, such as food, fishing, boating, and the late night bar Gooseblind. Fortunately the weather turned out for us this weekend so we were able to enjoy most activities. For the use and pleasure we had spending the long weekend at the house I'd say it was well worth the stay.
Picture perfect!
My friends and I were looking for a Girls Weekend away and completely enjoyed our time here. The view of the water, the hot tub, the spacious open concept kitchen, the multiple sleeping locations, the 2-block walk from downtown - it had everything we needed and wanted and then some! We will be back again next year!
Great Gathering Place!
We have stayed at many VRBO's and this was one of our favorites! We have spent a lot of time in Green Lake over the years and have family close by, so it was perfect for a large gathering! We enjoyed time together around the large kitchen island and then watching the Cubs beat the Dodgers was a perfect way to end the evening! We are definitely going to try to get back over the summer. Thank you for such a fun weekend!
Family Wedding
My family and I traveled from different parts of the country to spend quality time together and to enjoy a family wedding. The Back Pond Cottage provided us the perfect place to enjoy the town of Green Lake. We had plenty of room and the amenities were great. We especially enjoyed the front porch and the great room where we gathered and enjoyed each others company in the beautiful surroundings. We got to take in the charm of this special community by meeting the people, spending time on the golf course, riding bikes around the Lake, walking the town and celebrating a wedding with our family. This is a very special home in a very special place and I hope to get the privilege to return one day!
Sisters Weekend
The house was absolutely beautiful. There was so much room for all of us to just sit back and relax and we did a lot of that. It is very quiet and so close to town that we were able to walk every where. The house was also fully stocked with supplies. The hot tub was super nice and we all enjoyed it late in the evening. Plenty of decks and a nice porch when the weather turned rainy. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend or a better place to stay.
Map
Green Lake is a perfect vacation place year round - centrally located and on a 7.5 x 2 mile lake.
