About this property

'Barefoot' Lake House–Play, Rest & Relax

Rehabbed lake home with 100' on Sinissippi Lake. Incredible sunsets, water-sports, bon-fires, grilling and relaxing.

Lake Sinissippi is a quiet 2800 acre lake, bordered by Horicon Marsh- National Wildlife Refuge to the North. Plenty of pelicans, Blue Herons and you may be lucky and see a Bald Eagle. We're about 2.5 hours from Chicago, and less than an hour from Milwaukee. It may be the best kept secret in Wisconsin!

Original pine paneled cottage with a recent addition doubling the size is rustic, modern and comfortable. Four bedrooms (3 + private loft) with 2 queen beds and 3 twin bunks. Fully equipped kitchen, sunroom with game table, living room with Lake views and space for game night, reading and lounging. TV (no cable, there is AppleTV you can log into your account or stream content from your phone), Sonos music system and a bluetooth speaker. The dining room off the kitchen seats 6-10, with a sitting area in front of the original stone fireplace.

In the summer months, enjoy the large yard, large fire pit and a brand-new pier for swimming. Sandy bottom, about 3 feet deep, is perfect for everyone. Lounge in the hammock or one of the many adirondaks, or get on the water in a kayak, paddle board and various floats available in the boat house. Many outdoor games like bocce ball, included. Outdoor dining table seats 8-10.

You can bring your own boat or wave runner. There is a boat launch at the end of the street and our lift is available at an additional fee.

Grill-out for dinner, start a camp-fire in the pit, watch an amazing (truly incredible) sunset and roast marshmallows under the stars to end the day.

Nearby, Horicon Marsh is the largest freshwater marsh in the country with year-round outdoor activities. 3-5 golf courses within 20 minutes, including Erin Hills, site of the 2017 US Open. In town are bars and restaurants if you want to get out.

Grocery store and Wal-Mart are about 20-30 mins.

About the host

Hosted by John Bellei

Host profile image
Meg & John
Meg and I live in Chicago with our 2 kids. Meg grew up in Wisconsin and I grew up in the suburbs of Illinois. We met at work, started our own design and marketing agency in 2001 and got married in 2004.

When we first got married, we often travelled back and forth to Wisconsin to visit family on weekends. We rented a home on Lake Sininnippi in 2008 and began looking for our own house soon after. Once we saw 'Barefoot' we knew it was the one for us.

Why they chose this property

We traveled to Wisconsin so often to visit family that we talked about having our own get away. After renting a house on Lake Sinissippi in 2008, we fell in love with the area and began our search. We found 'Barefoot' and the rest is history.

We named it Barefoot because of the casual feel and the fact that we take our shoes off when we get there and rarely have them on until we leave.

There is so much to do, but we spend our time slowing down. Quiet coffee in morning on the deck, active days on the water then grilling and a camp-fire to end the evening.
