LAKE LIFE ON THE LAKE MORRIS CHAIN

The private pier allows for convenient boat tie-up and easy dock fishing, with poles provided for kids. The gradual shoreline keeps swimming comfortable for families.
DECK & OUTDOOR LIVING
The south-facing deck overlooks the water and naturally becomes a central gathering space throughout the day.
There is room for morning coffee in the sun, outdoor meals at the table, and relaxed afternoons in the shade. The dining area comfortably seats six, with space to accommodate additional guests when needed.
Gas and charcoal grills make outdoor cooking simple. The deck connects easily to the yard and dock below, keeping the flow between house and water natural.
A lakeside fire pit provides another gathering spot in the evening. Firewood and marshmallow forks are provided, making it easy to end the day with s’mores as the lake settles into calm.
INSIDE THE HOME

Vaulted ceilings and knotty pine walls create a classic Northwoods atmosphere. The open layout provides room for cooking, dining, playing games, and relaxing without feeling crowded.
Everyone feels part of the conversation, whether around the table, in the kitchen, or settling in for the evening.

Calm water. Comfortable shoreline. Space to gather.
In Waushara County, where “Up North” begins, this is lake living at a natural pace — mornings on the deck, afternoons on the water, and evenings spent together.
We would be glad to welcome you to Lake Morris.

This place was very clean, spacious and perfect for our girls weekend getaway. The outdoor deck, access to kayaks and fire pit made the weekend complete.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this clean and updated home. The property is accurately shown in the photos, the water is beautiful and clean, and the hosts were great. We would definitely rent again.
Extremely clean and well cared for property. Just as described. Owners were easy to work with. Location is great with lots of trees. It is a bit of a drive to get anywhere but the drives were very scenic.
Beautiful property, very peaceful, mother and stepfather loved it many meals spent outside on the deck. Provided us with everything we needed in the home. Close to other towns for antiquing, meals out, exploring this part of the state. We felt very fortunate to have found this lake home.
We had an amazing stay at this home in Mount Morris! The community is welcoming, the home had everything we needed, and the lake is absolutely beautiful. We loved being on the quiet inlet, it was peaceful and perfect for relaxing. It’s an ideal spot for families of all ages. The kids had a blast fishing; there were plenty of bluegill and they were easy to catch, so every child was able to reel in some fish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly stay,
We had a great time at the house. The large deck and all the lake toys were our favorite parts!

Beautifully maintained cottage on the best lake in the world!
We loved our stay at this property. The accommodations were perfect for our family and had everything we would ever need. I spent my summers on (in) Big Hills Lake when I was growing up and I loved sharing it with my children.

Thank you for your review of our property. We agree Big Hills Lake is beautiful; crystal clear water and firm sandy bottom making swimming and playing in the water wonderful. You are welcome to return anytime.
This peaceful little place on the lake was wonderful!
Loved everything about our week at the sandy beach cottage! Beautiful property and location! It was clean, had a well-stocked kitchen, and lots of fun things to do. Thank you for sharing your "Little Slice of Heaven with us!"

Family getaway.
Great property we loved everything about it. The house was clean and the living space was perfect for a large family. The family loved all the amenities, from the games and books to the lake toys and kayaks. We've been coming to Wild Rose for years and we may have found our new favorite getaway.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We love the great room; the space accommodates an entire family without feeling crowded and it’s still cozy, especially on a cool night in the fall when there’s a fire in the hearth!
You are welcome to return anytime! Kindly, Beaver Family
This property was a prefect stay for a family getaway vacation. Little to no reception to unplug from phones but excellent wifi if you still needed to stay connected. The owners were fantastic and really display Wisconsin/ Midwestern hospitality. We were looking for a lakefront rental and feel like we made some acquaintance friends in the process.

Thank you for your kind review. We look forward to hosting you again!
The Lake House is perfect - just as advertised - with plenty of room for a family of 4+. There is a swimming area for small children, and it's close to the county park/beach. It's a peaceful location with lake access. Peggy and Steve are helpful and responsive to questions. I highly recommend this Lake House as a comfortable and relaxing getaway.

Thank you for your very kind review. We hope to see your family again!
Hosts were super at communicating to all questions in a timely manner. Our family had a great time together, fishing, playing games, and relaxing at the beach. The house was perfect for our needs, loved having the basement for a little separation when needed:) Thank you to Peggy and Steve.

Thank you for your kind review. We look forward to having you as a return guest.
Beautiful property, fully stocked with everything you could need. Very clean and very attentive host. The lake is clean with nice bottom but quite small, as are the other on the chain. The 1/2 bath is not quite a 1/2 bath.
Communication before check-in was thorough and prompt. We arrived and had a very easy check in. The house was tidy and the landscaping/beach well tended to. The location on channel right next to lake is so peaceful with no wake rules (lake area allows wake 10am-5pm), but you can also see the people as they pass by on their pontoons. Boathouse is stocked with fishing/swimming/floating/lazing supplies. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely return.

Thank you Carly for your kind review. We're so happy to share our property with families looking for a place to relax and reconnect.
The last few summers we have stayed in more rustic cabins in the area, but this property spoiled us in the best way! Lake Life all the amenities you could ask for a fantastic family vacation that went by much too quickly. The lake house was very spacious and inviting, with plenty of seating/table options for dining inside or out and playing family games. We enjoyed time around a campfire multiple nights & grilling out as well.Having use of the included paddle boards, kayaks & fishing poles kept any complaints of “I’m bored” from our kids at bay. The Wi-Fi access was an added bonus, as none of us had great cell reception - and we utilized the Roku TV a bit.For us the location couldn’t have been better. Our favorite beach for relaxing/swimming is Little Silver Lake, and it was less than a 10 minute drive from Mount Morris. All-in-all we were very impressed with the rental and hope to be back again in the future!
Absolutely loved this cabin for my young family. We have 2 children (ages 3 and 5) and we found this cabin to be perfect for them. It had a smooth, paved walkway to the water, easy entry to the lake, shallow water (my 5 year old could touch until nearly the end of the pier), sandy area to play, lots of small pan fish under the dock, owners provided baby gates, and the set up of the house was perfect for kids. My boys also loved having various floaties, kayaks/SUP and sand toys to play with (all provided in the exterior shed). The owners were very responsive to emails and texts. Lovely to work with. We would highly recommend this to any family, especially those with young children. Town wasn’t very big but we did enjoy Bird Creek Park (playground + splash pad). Only “con” was the checkout process. I don’t mind cleaning whatsoever, but we did have to clean-clean after ourselves (cleaning the tub, toilet, vanity/mirror, vacuum, haul trash to waste site, etc.) For us it was minor but just not something I was used to. Will definitely stay again!

Thank you Lisa for your wonderful review. We love to know families enjoy their time together while at the lake house.
The house was comfortable and supplied sand toys, noodles, canoe, paddle board and kayaks. Worked well for our family of 6 and still worked when our oldest daughter’s family visited with children ages 8 months to 6 years.
Clean, great location, all the stuff you usually have to pack is already there! Games puzzles eclectic book collection laundry chairs firewood more than enough deck and lawn chairs pillows blankets bedding towels kitchen and bath the air conditioning worked great but there were also fans if needed, I could go on and on and on but there's just like everything you would want all provided. Beautiful lake, clean sand, hard bottom, no muck. Food, bar 2 minutes away with ice cream and coffee shop next door. Public park with pavilions, rest rooms, jungle gym, and a great sand beach also with roped off area to swim and boat launch there also. And again I repeat 2 minutes away from the cabin!
My husband and I took our three kids ages 10, 7 and 2 along with my mother for a week long vacation. This home was absolutely wonderful. It has just about anything you could want! We kayaked on the lakes, kids swam for hours. Fishing poles were provided in the boathouse so all we needed was bait. The owners were very easy to get a hold of and a pleasure to deal with. I would reccommend this home to anyone, you wont be disappointed.
We loved this place! It has it all-swimming, peddle boat, SUP, kayaks and fishing. This is a very nice lake house located in a great spot. Perfect place to relax and enjoy quality family time rain or shine. The hosts were great.
The cottage was adorable and I loved diving into the history of it. The weather wasn't on our side unfortunately so we were only able to go out on the the water got one day. But we still enjoyed using the kayaks and the lake was peaceful. We spent most of our time relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet we don't often get in the city. And we especially appreciated the many options in games to play.
We were a little surprised by how close there nearby houses were. We were under the impression that the cottage would be a little more secluded. But the neighboring cabins were pretty much vacant for the most part of our stay so we can't complain.
Would love to come back, hopefully when there's better, warmer weather.

About the host
Hosted by Peggy and Stephen Beaver
Our family lives in Cedarburg, Wisconsin where we work and attend school.
Why they chose this property
We love visiting our lake house for pure relaxation, waterfront views and recreation. This part of the state is still relatively undiscovered, so it's like going up North without the drive and crowds. The home is very comfortable for family gatherings. It's located on a wonderful chain of lakes, with an ideal combination of no-wake and full-rec water fun. It's a properly insulated four season home for year-round comfort. The name "Hearthstone Place" reflects the values of home life and a place to gather around.
What makes this property unique
Views of the lake are wonderful. Facing South, the deck is canopied by mature hardwood trees with sun in the morning and cool shade during the day. The variety of birds you can see is surprising, ranging from hummingbirds to bald eagles. Its lake front location delivers the best of two worlds. The beach is on a quiet no-wake section of the lake, with easy access to the full-rec section of the lake by boat to enjoy tubing and water skiing. The no-wake section of the lake in front of the property is great for paddle sport activities any time of day. The beach is sandy and firm with clear water for swimming. The property is located adjacent to Mt. Morris County Park and Nordic Mountain providing easy access to hiking and mountain biking trails, winter skiing, and tubing.
