Beautiful 8000 Sq. Ft. Log Home With 250 Feet Of Private Frontage on Kusel Lake
This large log home features soaring ceilings and fantastic water and woods views. Comfortably sleeps 24 with 11 bedrooms and 6 beautiful baths. I just recently added a queen bed and blinds to the first floor office to give a bedroom on the first floor for folks who cant navigate stairs well.
Custom kitchen, leather furniture, large screen TV. 250 waterfront feet and 15 acres of land provide rare privacy on a sand bottom, clear lake. Great swimming, skiing, boating, tubing, canoeing and fishing. Kusel Lake is in Waushara County and is a 90+ acre lake (including southest added area).
Enjoy a day on the water followed by grilling on the 2 tiered deck overlooking the lake followed by a campfire on the flagstone patio. Great hiking, biking and wildlife viewing. Many golf courses available within 20 minute drive.
Sorry, but no pets. A family member is highly allergic to pet dander.
Please note that the cleaning fee is charged at $35/hour and averages $425-450. There is a $1000 refundable security deposit that the cleaning fee comes out of with the balance returned once I receive the cleaning bill. The site lists the refundable security deposit as a cleaning fee, but it works as described above.
From mid-June to mid-August I rent friday to friday only bc that is the day my cleaners, lawn mowers, and handyman work at my place. For the first two weeks of June if you are interested in different check-in and check-out days, please inquire. Memorial day and Labor day weekends are 4 day rentals minimum.
Waushara County requires I obtain and retain for one year the name, address, telephone number and signature of every adult renter: since I hold a License from the County to rent my cottage, and my cottage is inspected for safety, etc. per County rules. As such, after booking I email you the Rental Agreement on the site with your name and dates inserted so you can easily email forward it to your group for filling out and signing by each adult and return to me of signature pages. I know its an inconvenience but required by Waushara County for all Licensed Tourist Rental Houses. After receiving a booking request, I have to verify the number of renters and ages: or I can't accept the booking request.
The Rental Agreement has a liability release required by my insurance company for all renters to sign to release me from liability for any accidents of renters. All signatures are due back to me 90 days after booking.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Host greeted us at the time of check in and answered all questions that we might have had during our stay. He has always been very quick to answer any questions online as well. The home was large and spacious enough to host our 3rd belated family Christmas gathering.
Wonderful house for the 21 of us. Family trip was great. Plenty of space in the house and plenty of water activities to keep everyone occupied and happy.
Good place for our multi-generational family. One of our elders was unable to negotiate stairs and Dave was very accommodating, allowing us to improvise a bedroom in the study/office on the main level. (We understand that he is planning to add a bed to this room permanently but meanwhile he was very gracious in allowing us to do so temporarily. He even rushed to install blinds in that room!) We loved staying here and had a great overall experience.

So glad everyone had a good time. I did make a permanent 11th bedroom on the main floor to help with folks who don’t navigate stairs well. It turned out pretty nice.
This huge cabin in a wooded setting was perfect for our multi-family Thanksgiving gathering. Kitchen was large and fully stocked. Beds were comfy. Comfortably fit us all! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Family gathered to celebrate june graduations and birthdays. Age range 18-86. The first few days were unusually hot and we spent most time in the water and then came into the air conditioning during the hottest late afternoons. The rest were overcast and perfect temps. Caught some fish, kayaked, canoed, ate and drank. Was a great house for lots of folks. Everything went very smoothly!
We had a blast with our group of friends and family members. 4 days/nights over the New Year Celebration just flew by us super quick. The place is beautiful and right on the lake. Plenty of things to do in and out of the house. Thanks, Dave
Beautiful 10 bedroom/6 bath home provided us with all the room & facilities we needed for a Family Reunion. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Patio/deck & yard were perfect for our gathering & outdoor activities.
We had a lovely family reunion here. Plenty of space, a quiet, remote location (but not too far from grocery stores and restaurants), and a nice lake for swimming and kayaking. Dave is a very personable host and went out of his way to help us get acclimated.

Glad everyone had a good time. That always makes me happy.
Gorgeous lake home with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy! Small sandy beach for younger kids and a floating platform for the older ones. All the necessities we needed were there. We enjoyed the time together!
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! it had plenty of room for our large group! We really appreciated the large kitchen and living room for hanging out during the rainy weather. The only complaint we had was there were some repairs that needed to be done on the cabin that would have made our stay just a bit better.

It was unfortunate that the garage door opener broke when the travelers were arriving; and it was memorial day weekend so the repair company couldn’t come. Bad timing for all.
Big beautiful house! Plenty of room for everyone! Space to cook and entertain!
Any issue was quickly taken care of by the owner! Awesome place to stay with a large group!
Held my annual sales meeting at property. 14 of us stayed and property met all of our needs. Provide adequate space for our group meetings and personal space. Being on water was a bonus.
The home was a perfect spot for our family vacation. It comfortably fit 22 people ranging in ages from 1 to 80, and had something for everyone! The kitchen is well appointed with everything we needed to cook multiple meals for a large crowd. By far, the biggest hit was the lake and all the water craft our host made available to us. We are so grateful to have found this place. The host was outstanding in communicating as needed and graciously helped us out when several items were mistakenly left behind. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend this place!

Glad everyone had a good time. That’s always my goal.
20 of our family stayed there, from 3 months, to past 70 and every decade in between. They all loved the home, the beach, the fishing, the sand, all of it. There was an abundant room for all to be and do what they wanted and we would come together for meals and cards. My family wishes to go there another year just to be together!!
Thanks David for an awesome week .

I’m happy everyone had a great time! Look foreword to your next visit.
My family (14 adults, 6 kids) stayed over Labor Day weekend and had a wonderful experience! So much space - a bed for each person, plenty of play room for the kids, a large yard, and room for everyone at the beach. The beach is shallow with a small sand area which was perfect for our little ones. The house was spacious enough so the kids could sleep while the adults could play games and hang out without fear of waking them up. Dave was a great communicator and made us feel like we could reach out with any questions. Everyone in my family remarked how great the house was and we are working on plans to stay again!

I’m always happy when my guests have a great time.
The check was n time can be earlier than 5. And the blankets can be washed. And the kitchen fridge and the pots can be cleaner.

I’m confused by the comments because the renter never requested an early check in because they couldn’t arrive until 7pm. Also, my professional cleaning crew always cleans the blankets and pots and usually is complemented on their abilities and attention to detail.

Why they chose this property
This property is a unique, one of a kind property, due to its combination of luxury and privacy.
What makes this property unique
I bought a campfire girls camp in 1995 that was 60 acres on two lakes. I kept the best 15 acres and the best 200 feet of water frontage and built a large log home for my 5 daughters and large extended family in 2000. Now that my daughters are grown and spread out I decided to share some of the beauty of this wonderful place. . As such, the home is very private.
