Newly Renovated Lakefront Cottage, Peaceful, Cozy Modern Farmhouse ~Dog Friendly

Welcome to our serene Lake Tichigan retreat, where you'll be greeted by stunning views, beautiful wildlife such as bald eagles, swans, and seagulls, and a cozy home designed with your comfort in mind.

Relax with your whole family, including your beloved dog, in this newly remodeled 3 bed, 3 bath modern farmhouse-style cottage. Unwind by the firepit next to the lake and enjoy breathtaking views from every bedroom.

Our home is equipped with a king bed, fireplace, kids play area, board games, standing work desks, and more! It comfortably accommodates up to 8 people with 2 twin trundle beds, 2 twin beds, 1 queen bed, 1 king bed, and 1 pullout sofa bed.

We take great pride in maintaining an exceptionally clean and sanitized environment for our guests. Our cozy house is ideally suited for families, offering the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. However, please note that the house is best suited for 6 adults and 2 kids, rather than 8 adults. Therefore, we kindly request that you send us a message prior to booking to ensure the accommodation is the best fit for your group.

Experience the luxury of en suite bathrooms in both our Master bedroom and Queen bedroom. Our unique 3-bath setup ensures a comfortable stay for extended families or groups.
Please note that this cottage shares the pier, lakefront and parking with Cottage B.

Please be aware of the following unique aspects of your stay:

- Please note both the standing shower in the mudroom and the shower in the queen room is on the smaller side.

- Smoking is not permitted inside the house, and marijuana smoking is strictly prohibited on the premises.

- As we are located by the lake, our water may have a distinct mineral scent. This is common in lake houses and is completely safe.

- Please be mindful of our sewage system and avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper, as the city sewage by the lake is sensitive.

- If you're interested in a leisurely outing on the lake, we offer pontoon boat rentals at $180 per night (only for summer season).

- Kayaks and paddle boards are next to Cottage B and free for everyone to use. We have a total of 4 kayaks, one paddle board (adult size) and two paddle boards (kids size) all included in your stay.

- Cornhole Toss Game only available for your backyard fun :)

- During the May-June season, lake flies are abundant. They are harmless but can be an annoyance. They typically disappear within two weeks and are a food source for fish in the lake. It is important to keep windows and doors closed at night, as they are attracted to bright lights and can enter through screen doors.

- Keypad: Enter the code and then press "Unlock." The code will be sent to you 2 days before check-in.

- We are a dog family ourselves and understand how nice it is to bring them along. We welcome up to (2) dogs with a non-refundable pet fee of $55 per stay. If a Guest brings a dog and does not inform us, a $1,000 pet fee will apply.

Please note: Violating our house rules may result in a $500 fine.


Conveniently located:
- 30 minutes from Alpine Valley / Music Valley
- 30-40 minutes from metro Milwaukee

Memorial Day weekend getaway
We rented this home with another family for Memorial Day weekend. There were 4 adults and 4 children (ages 10-13). Everyone was very comfortable. The home is very cute. We played some of the games and read some of the books that were provided. The kids loved fishing off the pier and using the kayaks that were provided. Ming was great with communications. You are sharing the space with another rental on the same property which could be a downside for some, but we enjoyed meeting and socializing with our fellow renters for the weekend.

wonderful lakeside living
We loved our stay at this cozy property off the lake! Ming was very communicative and the property was extremely well cleaned and furnished. We also were able to rent a pontoon for the day and enjoy the beautiful lake. Highly recommended!

Comfy lakeside house
Our stay was pleasant. The house was spotlessly clean, the appliances were new, and the decor was appropriate for a vacation home. The hosts, Gary and Ming, went out of their way to be helpful and were easy to contact. The back deck overlooked Lake Tichigan and there were steps leading right to the lake. A pontoon boat was available, for a fee, and was readily accessible. The kitchen was well stocked, the living room couch was large and comfortable, the TV was large and worked well. Highly recommend this home.

Wonderful getaway!
We had a wonderful time here. We booked last minute, so we appreciated the quick response to our request. The owners were so great helping us with our stay. The house is really comfortable and peaceful. Right on the lake. We had wonderful views of it from each bedroom and the living room. We sat by the water on the cute patio with Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. The house has great furniture, linens, and appliances. They provide plenty of towels and toiletries. My daughter loved all the games and books available, and she worked on her layup with the Bucks basketball hoop in the kids room :) We cooked meals during our stay. The kitchen was great. Everything you need is there, and its open concept with the living/dining room makes things so easy. The house is close to Milwaukee but definitely a getaway with the beautiful lake and quiet vibe. The owners are very responsive, which I appreciate so much. They are working on a second house on the property, which I’m sure will be equally cute and comfortable. We can’t wait to return for another stay!
