Lake Retreat! Gorgeous sunset views & 2 fire pits!
Relax and unwind at this peaceful and comfortable home! With 4 bedrooms, a large kitchen, living room, and 4-season sunroom, you will have plenty of room to spread out. Grill out and enjoy a meal on the deck overlooking the lake, or watch the sunset sitting by one of our two fire pits (one gas, the other wood) while bald eagles soar overhead. Nestled on the outskirts of town with quick access to biking and walking trails, yet just minutes from downtown, UW-Stout, restaurants, and shopping.
The home features a spacious and open main floor living area. The living room has plenty of comfortable seating and large windows allowing natural light to flood the space. The living room includes a Roku TV with access to local channels and streaming services.
The newly renovated kitchen has granite and porcelain countertops, custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a hidden induction cooktop, and all the tools you need to prepare a meal. The dining table has seating for 6, with a gas fireplace to enjoy cozy meals together.
Adjacent to the dining room, the all-season sunroom features additional seating for visiting or enjoying a cocktail while overlooking the lake.
French doors lead from the kitchen to a spacious deck, where you can grill and dine outdoors, sip your morning coffee, or simply admire the natural beauty that surrounds you. The large yard offers plenty of space for enjoying the lake view, with a gas fire pit and large sunken wood firepit overlooking the lake. The private dock (May-October, weather dependent) provides direct access to the lake. In the winter months, enjoy skating on our front yard hockey rink if the weather cooperates!
The Lake Menomin biking/walking loop borders our neighborhood, and Lake Menomin park is within walking distance for mountain biking and hiking enthusiasts.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home. It felt very warm and welcoming. Beautifully designed and decorated. The details of every aspect were attended to; from coffee and tea options to the bathroom essentials. We were very pleased with everything that it provided. We hope to be able to stay again.
What a beautiful home in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. I would highly recommended staying at this property. The host was extremely helpful, friendly, and very prompt at answering our questions. My wife and I enjoy biking and were able to have close access to local trails from the house. We also enjoyed the great local, restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries. The home has 2 different firepits in the backyard that you should also take advantage of. When we left, a little piece of our hearts stayed there. We hope to return for another stay in the future! I say 10/10!
The house is so incredibly beautiful and charming. A step back in time with the stunning wood work, high ceilings and hidden details. Yet still modern with every amenity a person could need. We dare people to guess where the stove top is. The outside views and accommodations blew us away. We felt like we were at a posh resort. Don’t miss the sunsets. They are truly breathtaking.Kate is kind and very easy to communicate with. We wish our trip was longer. Our time felt like a dream. Thank you so much!

Why they chose this property
The western facing frontage provides the most stunning sunset views over Lake Menomin! Watch the Eagles soar overhead while deer frolic in the back yard. Close to UW-Stout campus, yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.
