No need to look any further for your lake home getaway this has it all. This property is located on the southwest corner of Green Lake referred to as "the terrace". This side of the lake is shallow and all pure sandy bottom. Weeds do grow out of it but the areas that most renters swim in near the end of the pier is always sandy and weed free. This property is perfect for 1 real large family or 3-4 smaller families to share. There are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There is a large open concept kitchen and living room on the lower level that overlooks the beautiful lake. 1 bedroom is in the hallway off the kitchen but the other 4 are upstairs. The property sleeps 13 very comfortably in the 5 bedrooms and easily more using portable beds (not provided), sofa sleeper, and additional beds in rec room. The upper rec room area has a pool table, foosball table, dart board, large flat screen tv, private bathroom, couches and chairs, and is approximately 20x20. The property has a 150' pier that you can fish off of or tie off your boat. This is personally my all time favorite swimming lake because of how shallow it is and that its all sand. You can walk directly in off the boat house entrance to the water, or down the steps of the pier. The first 15 feet from the boat house is rocky then its all sand. This is a great place for kids to swim because of how shallow it is and how far out it goes before it gets very deep. Check out a Green Lake Map on google to see the depths of the lake. As you walk out from the shore towards deeper water, you have to get at least 50-100 yards before it goes below 5-6 ft deep. Green Lake is the deepest lake in the state which you wouldn't believe judging by how shallow it is on this end but it gets as deep as 262 ft and is great fishing including lake trout. You will love this property and really enjoy your time here. Great Irish Pub 5-6 doors down with phenominal food, and top rated golf 10 minutes away.

What else do you need?

Call, text, or email for details. Calendar is always up to date so reference that for available dates. If you are looking over a year out rates and availability may not be updated yet so definitely give a call.

Minimum rental age is 25 and all occupants (if not children w/families) should be over that age or at least close. If not, please call and we will consider some exceptions. We are very strict however on bachelor parties or rowdy loud groups. We prefer quiet families as this is not a party neighborhood. I screen everyone before agreeing to rent to them for this reason. Please be respectful of this requirement.

About the host

Hosted by Brad Brethouwer

Host profile image
I grew up as a kid in Madison, Wi and went to Memorial HS and graduated in 1990. We now live in Deforest which is only 58 min drive to this property which we love. Since I was a very young kid we spent 1 Saturday every year at our relatives home on this same shore line on Green Lake and absolutely loved the area. It was after our family reunion in 2015 that my late father purchased the home to use for both our families and rent out for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

This location is awesome for a vacation spot. Very quiet, great swimming in the lake. Large rec room for the rainy days, and food and drink a 1 min walk down the street.

What makes this property unique

Some neat features about this home are the large deck off the living room area, and the upper screened in porch that overlooks the lake and comes off of 2 of the upper bedrooms. And of course the clear water and sandy bottom is probably the best feature of all.
