About this house rental

Enjoy our large game room year-round (with AC or heat) when you can't be on the lake! Lightly developed this 684-acre lake is part of the Crow river system and is known for low traffic and great fishing year-round, especially walleyes.

For enjoying time on the water we offer guests a paddle boat, canoe, kayaks, a paddleboard and a water mat. We also have a pontoon you can rent during your stay.

Our shoreline has a sandy-rocky bottom with minimal weeds, and a low-slope out. Depending on spring rains, water depths will vary but often it's shallow enough for wading and swimming with little ones.

Relax with your morning coffee or enjoy the sunsets from our patio or the deck on the stairs. Our tree-lined lot offers both shade and sun with open flat areas for lawn games and star gazing. Just across the street and within walking distance are scenic woodlands, marshes and rolling prairie in the State Wildlife Mgmt lands.

Our main level welcomes plenty of natural light into the open-concept great room with a spacious kitchen, dining area, and living room leading out to the deck. There are (2) bedrooms and a full bath, as well, and the game room is just a couple steps down from the living room. We have a full size ping pong, foosball, and air hockey tables; a full size fridge and small microwave. Plus table & chairs for eating or puzzles, games and crafts. Here is where you will find our lawn games, sand toys and other activities to keep kiddos busy. The game room is temp-controlled with AC in the summer and heat in winter, making it a great place for pets, as well.

For your grilling needs we have both charcoal and gas grills, with propane provided - and it's just a few steps out the back door.

The basement has two bedrooms and a full size bathroom, along with a great room where kids, teens and adults alike can hang out, lounge or nap. There are TVs with Google Chromecast + DVD players on both levels, and movie collections on both levels. You can also find plenty of books, cards, boardgames, puzzles and toys.

The Public Access is on the north end of the lake (about 1/4 mile from us) and has a concrete ramp, parking area and a sandy beach-like area.

** There is a dock at the home but currently no boat lift. Please bring an anchor for any watercraft you bring to anchor near shore overnight.

This was such a fabulous getaway for the family. The game room was perfection for the teenagers to escape and we loved the views. The sgairs were too much for our elderly parents, but the landing made a perfect view point for them to watch kids play.

Absolutely wonderful spot on the lake for an extended family vacation over Labor Day weekend! Plenty of space for all and with all the water toys and amenities you could ask for! We had such a wonderful time hanging out by the dock, kids playing on the lilypad, kayaking, paddleboarding, peddleboating, tubing and water skiing! Playing yard games on the large lawn, sharing stories and memories around the campfire and playing games in the living room. The kitchen was well stocked for large group meals with a bonus fridge in the garage/games room, where the kids thoroughly enjoyed waking their older cousins by playing air hockey at ungodly hours of the morning! ;) The hosts Reed and Rachel were fantastic to communicate with and very accommodating with the check-in and check-out process. Would definitely stay here again! It may become an annual family reunion spot.

Lots of kid toys for the yard, which is fenced in so great for little ones to play. Perfect lounge space and firepit. We had fun playing ping ping and airhockey too! The water was high due to all the rain so understandably wasn’t much of a beach but there’s a swim pad that a bunch of people can sit on and paddleboard so we just hung out with those!

We all had fun the house this past week. Although, we were very disappointed in the fact that the beach was so overgrown w/ weeds that we could not even attempt to walk on it. The beach pics posted on the VRBO site must be at least 3-5 years old.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was just as expected, clean and plenty of space for the whole family. Kids liked the bunk room and adults had their privacy. Beds and bedding were comfortable. The weather wasn't the best when we were there and due to all the rain the mosquitos were very bad, so we didn't spend much time in the outdoor space.(not the owners fault) The breeze came up on Sat evening so we were able to have a fire, which is important to our family. We found a great city park in Litchfield. It had a splash pad, beach, and great playground. Maybe they spray for mosquitos because the bugs were not bad there. Our family really enjoyed the game room at the house! It was great that some could stay up late and play cards while others slept. I gave a four stars on the cleanliness because the outdoor toys were not clean and ready to use. In the end it didn't matter to us, just a comment. Great memories were made. Good place to stay!

This lake home had the best space for our family get together. There was plenty of activities to enjoy, even when weather wasn’t cooperating. The sleeping spaces were plentiful and very comfortable. It was an overall perfect set up and beautiful place!

Our family of 17 ages 1 to 70 had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We enjoyed swimming, fishing, yard games, camp fire, and the game room. There was enough room for everyone to sleep and spread out throughout our stay.

Great house with lots of room. Lot of mosquitoes but it been a wet year. Caught some fish on lake but nothing worth bragging about. Lots of stuff for kids to play with at house.
