About this property

Lake Vacation/Hunters Lake in Dousman,WI, Milwaukee, Delafield, Oconomoc, Wales

Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished, 1 bedroom and 1 bath cottage, 30 miles west of Milwaukee. This is a cottage, while not fancy, has the complete rustic and cozy feeling that any outdoors person will be excited to stay. Come and join us for fishing, boating, swimming, canoeing, kayaking and enjoy a fire by the lake or a fire inside on cold nights. Comfortable for sleeping 4-6. A number of stairs lead to the cottage that is situated 60 feet from the lake. There is an area for the kids to play in a small sandy area onshore. See photos and don't expect a beach.
Charges to the refundable deposit may apply due to excess cleaning that may be needed.

This was the best place we have ever stayed. Steve and Sharon greeted us with a dozen farm fresh eggs, which we enjoyed very much. Everyone that visited said the place was beautiful. I wish we would've known about this place sooner. We grew up in Milwaukee and have lived in Tomahawk for 26 years, and this was a great meeting point for family and friends. We will definitely recommend this place.

Great lake cottage!

The owner was awesome - very responsive and helpful. Think idyllic little cottage on a small Wisconsin lake and you won't be disappointed. It's also close to towns and restaurants - the best of both worlds.

Nice little cottage

All amenities provided, perfect little hide away to escape to. It was to cold for fishing but very relaxing on the lake. However whoever put a 3" memory foam topper on a memory foam mattress is silly, my butt was 6"s lower than the rest of my body, and I sleep on my sides.

Peace on the lake!

This is a great little rustic cabin right on the Lake which was very peaceful. There are most things you would need during your stay in the cabin, grocery stores are not far. There are options to eat or if you choose too. The bed was comfortable as a light sleep I would have loved some shades at the window. We improvised and all was good. Close to lots of place to visit. We volunteered at Erin Hills which was a short drive away. Some TLC in a few areas and it would be an outstanding accommodation. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

Cozy, Charming and Peaceful Lakefront Cottage

We could not have been more delighted with our stay at this cozy cottage. What a special treasure!The cottage was full of charm at every turn. The owners have made fresh updates which provide modern comforts while retaining the character of the sweet little cottage. The open kitchen, dinette and living area allowed beautiful lake views to be easily be enjoyed. The kitchen was adorable and equipped just right. From the ample seating on the decks or the sunny pier we enjoyed watching birds on the crystal clear lake. We saw many families enjoying fishing and other water sports out on the lake. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The owners were friendly, sincere and attentive to our questions. If you are looking for a peaceful and uplifting getaway with a joyful summer vibe this cottage is what you have been looking for.

Excellent Owner

We had a nice time on this wonderful, clean lake. We were able to kayak and canoe. We tried fishing but there were only tiny fish to be had; it was fun nonetheless. Sat on the dock, in the sun and ate dinner. Decided to cut our trip short because of bad weather, because hey, you go to a lake house to be on the lake, not stuck inside.

Wonderful Lakefront Cottage

We had a great weekend on Hunters Lake. Steve was a helpful host and saved the day by meeting us late at night on the main road to take us directly to the cottage. Be sure to let him know if you're arriving after sunset. The home has all the basics you will need including coffee! The lake is pretty quiet; we spent most of the afternoon kayaking, fishing off the dock and chatting with a few neighbors and the evening enjoying the fire pit (and included firewood!) It isn't the fanciest place, but that isn't what you're looking for in a cottage, is it?! Great getaway from the city. Highly recommend!

Great cabin on a lake

We were very happy with the house and property. The owner has made sure that if you forgot something it is most likely available in the house. The lake is incredibly peaceful and relaxing. We went fishing in the kayaks and later enjoyed a fire pit at night. We thoroughly loved it! Thank you Steve.
