Very easy to communicate with host, house is spacious and very comfortable for a families with kids. The View to the lake from the high windows was amazing. Thanks for having us Dan
We enjoyed our stay! Wonderful sandy lakefrontage easy for swimming, floating, kayaking and great pier for your boat. Close to town, walking distance to Mars Resort!
This home was perfect for a family reunion. The main floor bedrooms with adjoining bathroom accomodated a handicapped brother. The spacious kitchen contained everything we needed to prepare meals. The fireplace was cozy.We ate together, played board games, and enjoyed sharing stories about growing up together. The kids enjoyed a few games of pool.
Everything from beginning to end was excellent. Place is beautiful, well taken care of and welcoming. We spent 3 days in pure winter for a big family reunion and certainly we couldn’t get best quality of service, or most beautiful place.Host was available since first moment, accessible and nice, the place was very clean, and had everything that this big family needed. Highly recommended to anyone, anytime!
Very good location and size for large groups. Inside lighting seemed inadequate and there was a local drinking water cleanliness issue. We had a very good time.

Glad you had a good time. I see you mentioned the areas water issue, which didn't impact the house, but was a community issue. Nothing one owner could control.
The view was breathtaking and yes we found the ships! The rental for fantastic, very clean!Daniel was very responsive to our needs, he even came out and replaced the battery to a smoke detector!Mary Jo OMalley
Accommodations and pictures are as described! Plenty of space for our family of 11. Layout of the house is great & is quiet. The lake is such a pleasure & the kiddos took every advantage of using it.
Our extended family, ages 10 months old to sixty-five years old, enjoyed a week long stay at this beautiful lakefront home. The sunsets were amazing! We enjoyed kayaking, fishing and playing in the lake. This was our second stay at this home and we hope to return again to make more memories!
This place was amazing. From the moment we arrived we had such a great time. The owner Daniel has everything you need at the house to have an amazing time. We fished everyday and caught Nothern Pike and Largemouth Bass. We will be booking this property for many years to come. It was everything advertised and so much more.

Thank you so much for staying with us. Live guests like your group.
We had a great weekend with friends watching the Super Bowl at this house! It was spacious enough to accommodate everyone comfortably, and we had plenty of supplies to make the stay easy and enjoyable. The host was great—responsive and welcoming. Would definitely recommend for a group getaway!
Our women's group had a terrific retreat. House was as described. Felt like being on a cruise ship looking out on the water. Layout of bedrooms allowed for privacy and quiet. Highly recommend.
Cleaning company needs to do a better job of looking in the cabinets. We found condiments that were opened in one of the cabinets that should have been thrown away.The house was beautiful and the kitchen dining and living room open concept was great for our group.

We have traditionally left condiments for the guests. Sorry for the inconvenience.
We had a great time. Water in the lake isn’t very deep. So the littles could just stand around and play in the water and with paddle boards. Really peaceful. Played golf every day a lot of courses to choose from use golf now app to find deals. Thankyou !!!

Great golf all around. Thanks for staying with us.
We've returned to the Funkie Lil Shack several years in a row now. The owner has always been helpful, and the Shack itself boasts features that our board game-playing group needs (such as PLENTY of tabletop space) that have proven surprisingly hard to find elsewhere.
This rental house is beautiful, cozy and comfortable and felt like home. There were 5 couples staying in the house, some we hadn’t seen in 50 years! This house was the perfect location for our planned activities as it was centrally located. It was also the perfect place to just relax and get caught up with everyone. One of the activities we enjoyed was a tour of Yerkes Observatory! Brought back lots of great memories! God willing, we’d love to come back for our 60th reunion!

About the host
Hosted by Daniel W Bishop
We built this home in 2007 to get away from the West Side of Chicago. Spending time in Wisconsin required passing the "cheddar curtain" (the border between Illinois and Wisconsin) and just slowing down to enjoy the pleasantness of the people, clean air, and wonderful wildlife.
