We’ve stayed at the Back Pond Cottage the last five summers and our most recent stay was wonderful like always. Jo Ellen is a great host, the home is clean, and the layout is perfect for two families with kids. Great deck with dining table and views of the lake, plus a fire table. We’ll be back!

We so enjoyed our time there. We have a couple special needs people as well as older adults and there were spaces for everyone to connect and spaces to go for small groups and spaces to be alone, as well as the wonderful area activities around Green Lake.

5 of my close friends stayed in this adorable cottage for a couple of days while we visited a friend who lives in GL. Our stay was perfect - the kitchen and bathrooms had everything us ladies needed and we really couldn't have asked for anything more. Joellen has thought of everything; she is the perfect host!!

We just enjoyed a 5 day stay at this beautiful home! Back Pond Cottage easily accommodated our crew of 10 people, ranging in ages from 7 years to the 70s. The home is within a block walk of Green Lake, the downtown shops and restaurants, and a 10 minute ride to multiple golf courses. Our host Jo Ellen is easy to work with, very friendly and responsive. We highly recommend BPC!

Wonderful home and host. Had an issue regarding noise from a tree being cut down during our stay however JoEllen resolved it to our satisfaction. It was a little buggy at night which is to be expected being near a pond. House well stocked and thoughtful welcome gifts. Fire pit on deck was very nice as well. Very close to town which is very quaint.

Our family of ten very much enjoyed our weekend at Back Pond Cottage. We have been here several times now and always look forward to returning for a great time together at JoEllen's lovely home that is perfect for our family. We especially enjoyed the great room, a wonderful place to gather and visit with its cozy fireplace and sunny windows with a view of the lake. The front porch and decks are great for morning coffee and evening relaxing. The updated kitchen is furnished with anything you could want for cooking, baking and grilling. The large table provides ample space for meals together, even a birthday celebration. Our grandchildren enjoy the board games and the yard. The quiet location is just a few minutes walk to town for restaurants, shopping, ice cream, and the marina. I think our grandson's comment sums it up perfectly, "It was fun but not long enough".

This was our fourth year staying at the BPC with our family - 6 adults and 2 kids ages 8 and 4. It’s always clean and comfy with a great location in downtown Green Lake - near the water, marina, shopping and restaurants. Jo Ellen is a wonderful host and easy to communicate with. We’ll be back!

We loved our stay in Green Lake! The house was beautiful and just what we needed for a fun, relaxing girls trip. Jo Ellen was a wonderful host, checking in and bringing us candles when the power when there was a storm and the power went out all over town. I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage for your next vacation!

My siblings and I had a wonderful stay at this absolutely beautiful cottage. Meticulously maintained landscaping outside and thoughtful touches inside (creative welcome items, labels on the light switches & drawers, checkout list) made staying here comfortable (with everything we possibly needed) and reiterated just why this property has so many fabulous reviews. Tucked neatly back, it's proximity (walkability) to Downtown Green Lake and all it offers, is unbeatable. The highlight of this property was the large, well appointed deck with amazing sunset views of Green Lake. The smart and spacious layout of the home allowed for both large group gathering spots (the open kitchen/family/dining room) as well as cozy, private nooks for enjoying solitude. As a frequent visitor to Green Lake, I have long admired this property and it was wonderful to finally be able to stay and experience it firsthand. Thank you Jo Ellen for sharing your beautiful home with us. Our stay here was truly a taste of "The Good Life".

We brought our 2 teen boys and their friends for a 4th of July vacation and this was the perfect lake-side venue. Plenty of space for the 6 of us to enjoy the deck, grill, water side view of the fire woks and convenient access to downtown and marina. Great Space for group activities but also plenty of rooms to find your own nook for respite. Beautiful, clean, cottage decor and perfect location and access to the lake.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Back Pond Cottage Guest House. The house is immaculate, and we appreciate the care and attention that Jo Ellen has taken to provide a welcoming atmosphere. The house has everything you could ask for in a home away from home whether in kitchen furnishings, games, videos, or books. The great room was a perfect place for all of us to gather as a group for meals and conversation, but there are also several places for quiet or private time. We enjoyed the close to town location that allowed us to walk to town shops, restaurants, parks, and marina. We look forward to returning next year.

My husband and I rented this home for us and our three adult children along with their partners and our one year old grandson. The home is located on a quiet street and is very welcoming and spacious with a beautiful view of the lake. There was plenty of room for us to gather together, and everyone had a nice private space too. We enjoyed time outside on the deck, by the fire, and walking into town. It’s conveniently close to food, shopping and the marina. We would definitely rent this home again!

This was our third stay at the Back Pond Cottage and we can't wait to return. The home is clean and cozy and the layout is ideal for multiple families. We had five adults and two kiddos, ages 7 and 3. Lots of toys, games, and a cute reading nook for the kids. Large kitchen with dining table, plus outdoor dining, seating, and a fire table. (Don't forget the bug spray!) The home is a block from downtown Green Lake shops, restaurants and the marina. The owner Jo Ellen lives nearby and is so helpful - we stayed over Fourth of July weekend and she let us know what activities to check out. My family has visited Green Lake for many, many years and this home has been a fave find - we love it!

Fantastic house in a cute town with beautiful lake nearby

Fantastic house in a cute town with beautiful lake nearby

We had a wonderful family gathering at Jo Ellen's guesthouse. The house was super comfortable, clean, and well stocked. We had 9 people including 3 kids and everyone had a comfortable sleeping arrangement. The porch was lovely with a great view of the "back pond." We enjoyed the lovely yard and garden including the wood fire pit and outdoor gas fire circle on the porch. We also used the gas grill to cook several meals. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of utensils, cutlery, pots, pans, appliances, serving dishes, etc. You can tell the owners and caretakers take great pride in their property. Our family has a great stay and are hoping to stay again.
