About this house rental
Come and truly Get-Away-From-It-All at Lakewood. With a 6,500 square foot 8 bedroom mid-century modern main house and an optional 3 bedroom guest house and a setting like no other, you and yours will make memories that will last a lifetime. Main house sleeps 22, guest house will sleeps 14-18
LOCATION:
Located just 90 minutes from Chicago and between Milwaukee and Lake Geneva, Lakewood is easily reached whether you are staying for a long weekend getaway or a full vacation. Lakewood is a 1,000 acre property with a private 26 acre lake nestled inside. Depending on the season, the lake is great for a swim, a float, a sail, a kayak, a paddleboard, fishing, some broom ball or ice skating. The surrounding land offers plenty of outdoor activities during any season. Don’t worry if you forgot to bring something as you are only a ten minute drive from downtown Mukwonago with great local shops as well as a familiar Walgreens and Walmart.
MAIN HOUSE FEATURES:
The “Big House” at Lakewood is designed to please, with floor to ceiling windows across the expanse of the vaulted ceiling double great room to give you beautiful views of the lake. With eight bedrooms including two on the first floor, there is ample room at the Big House.
GUEST HOUSE FEATURES:
When you have a bigger group and need a bit more room, add our Guest House to your stay. The Guest House has three bedrooms, a sitting room, and a full bath. Just a few steps away from the Main House, the Guest House sleeps 14-18 with four bunk beds (two of which are twin over full) and two sleeper sofas.
KITCHEN FEATURES:
The kitchen is fully furnished and equipped, should you choose to cook inside rather than on the two gas grills outside. The kitchen features a 60” Wolf gas stove complete with two full size ovens, six burners, and a double griddle. A stainless steel refrigerator/freezer and stainless steel dishwasher are also in the main kitchen. There is a second refrigerator/freezer in the laundry room.
GREAT ROOM FEATURES:
The great room is arranged into multiple conversation settings with the mid-century furniture. There is a massive arched sofa, a coffee table, and two leather chairs near the fireplace and tv. Another area provides for conversation and viewing through the large floor to ceiling windows. And just off the great room are the sliding glass door to the screened in porch (a terrific evening spot) and the door to the game room.
BEDROOM & BATHROOM HIGHLIGHTS:
There are two bedrooms on the first floor with a full bath in between equipped with a walk in shower. There is a pocket door to close off the bedrooms from the main floor. The second floor has a similar two bedroom setup with a sliding door for additional quiet but with a shower/tub combination as well as four additional bedrooms along a balconied hallway with two more bathrooms between each pair of rooms. Eight bedrooms in total with four full bathrooms are currently equipped to sleep 22 in beds.
PATIO AND YARD HIGHLIGHTS:
The patio off of the screened in porch offers a dining table as well as a fire pit for evening fun. Wonderful views of the entire lake abound. Just a few steps around the corner and near an entrance to the house through the oversized first floor laundry room is an additional patio with two full sized picnic tables and a gas grill. This is a great spot for feeding family members who wish to stay in their bathing suits in the summer without having to worry about messing up the dining or breakfast rooms. Across the yard is a backstop and baseball ‘diamond’ for those so inclined. Just up the hill from there is a fenced-in tennis court with a half-court basketball hoop.
BOATHOUSE AND BEACH HIGHLIGHTS:
The two story boathouse features a screened-in porch as well as access to an outdoor deck overlooking the beach and lake. The view from the deck is a view like no other when you realize you are in the midst of a private paradise. The beach below is an ideal spot for sunbathing, kicking back, and for the younger set to play in the sand and shallow water. There is a dock with a built in bench seat that provide some great fishing as swimming opportunities. Launching kayaks, canoes, rafts, rowboats, etc. from the beach and pier makes enjoying the full lake experience unforgettable.
INTANGIBLE FEATURES:
Owners who take pride in the property and strive to provide a great experience for our guests. We are happy to help with everything from horseback riding to restaurant recommendations. Thank you for considering Lakewood!

We had an absolutely incredible time staying at this gorgeous lake house. It's beautifully set up for family reunions or groups of friends, with plenty of space to hang out together, walk to the lake, cook, etc. Highly recommend!

Our group of about fifteen, including four kids, had a great time! The spot is an easy drive from Milwaukee, but plenty secluded and a beautiful area. The kids had a ton of fun on the private lake with the provided paddleboat, and the house was amazingly spacious for the adults to spread out and relax. The owners were very gracious and responsive to questions - it's clear they care deeply about the property. We would definitely come back!

What an amazing property for a big group get together. There’s plenty of space for sleeping, cooking, eating and an endless amount of activities to keep any group busy during their stay. We never felt any need to leave! Pictures and videos don’t do this place justice, it’s simply fantastic!

Beautiful spring-fed lake with good fishing 🎣. Kids loved kayaking, paddle boarding, paddle boating, rowing out to fish, & swimming. They named the giant prehistoric turtles (Petunia hangs out under the pier & so does Pete). Loads of room for our giant family with 4 full bathrooms AND 2 powder rooms. Roomy bedrooms. House & GUEST HOUSE accomodated our huge family. Resident geese & wild turkey came to visit each day & a couple of us caught a glimpse of the white deer. The property is beautiful with a lot of trees & a fun swing. Nice sandy area for the little children. Thank you fir a terrific time. 👍

Lakewood Farms was an exceptional place to experience a weekend retreat. The natural setting is gorgeous ( the sunrise out the kitchen window!) the beauty and nostalgia of the house is welcoming and warm. Even saw a herd of 12 deer one morning! We loved every moment!

The arrangement of bedrooms and bathrooms was quite unique, - loved it! Kitchen was large and so easy to fix the big family dinners we had.
The lake is more than I imagined. The kayaks and water "toys" made time on the lake so much fun for all. (No motorized boats - YaY!)
A wonderful stay for our annual family get-together!

We booked this beautiful property for a team retreat. The house was comfortable and perfect for our group gathering. The grounds are beautiful and provided lots of opportunities for outdoor adventures in our downtime. We’re looking forward to hosting our next event here! Highly recommended!

We celebrated a friends 50th birthday here. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to do so. I’m trying to figure out when we can go back!

This huge house was so spacious our group of 35 never felt crowded. It was nice and secluded; very private. The lake and beach was great.

We had a great time. The caretaker who is also a family member of the property owner was a great help and resource and provided for our every need. I can't recommend this property any higher. It was expensive as there was a charge for each family member. I would return

We had a bachelor party group near 20 that this house was perfect for. There is so much to do on the property. There is plenty of space for games; the lake is incredible; no shortage of areas to hang out indoor or out, with plenty of seating for a large group. The house and property feel like you are isolated while there are restaurants and big grocery stores 5 min away so everything was super easy. I strongly recommend this place to others!

I know people will assume that I am exaggerating, but our family weekend was the best! There is a private lake, basketball, tennis, boat house, guest house, fun toys for the kids.
The lake was a non stop win for the kids and the adults. Multiple boats, paddle boards, fishing equipment (bring your own advanced fishing equipment / bait if you want to do serious fishing). The basic were included and perfect for kids trying for the first time.
Boat House was a huge outdoor / indoor hangout location.
Every area of the main house fits 15 people, so you can do different whole family activities.
The lot is very private outside of wildlife. We saw a bald eagle every day. Had Turkey vultures (I am not a huge bird person, but think I am correct with the type of bird) with little chicks walk around all weekend. No dangerous wildlife. Walking distance from a local camp and horses too. Walking distance from an amazing pie place.

My family and I celebrated our Christmas at Lakewood. It was truly amazing! From the moment we drove up the driveway (the house was lit up with Christmas lights), the house was perfect. Honestly, we wouldn’t change anything. The living room provided us with plenty of space for our family of 14, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook and bake, and everyone was comfortable in a bed. The little kids shared the room with the bunk beds and all the adults had their own space / bedrooms. There is a second fridge/freezer in the laundry room (this was fabulous) and the stove is massive (2 ovens, 6 burners). The view from the living room is absolutely breathtaking. It snowed a bit while we were there, so the trees were white andbeautiful icicles hung from the side of the house. We all went sledding, built snowmen, threw snowballs, etc. The guys went Ice fishing and caught a bunch of fish. We plan on staying at Lakewood Farms again and again!!! And the kids had fun playing hide and seek. We brought flashlights to make hide and seek even more fun! We worked with David prior to our stay and he was very helpful with all of our questions! And Tom was fantastic too- he came up and greeted us on day one (and brought us fresh eggs from the chicken coop). Both were fantastic!Hope you enjoy Lakewood as much as we did.

Lakewood Farms is such a special place! From giving us an early check on Thursday to set up, a well equipped large kitchen, tremendous great room with several sitting areas with excellent views, private lake with many water activities, tennis games, vast grounds for badminton and tennis golf to gatherings around a fire pit, we couldn't have asked for more. My son's wedding was the culmination of a very special weekend for my son, his Bride and both families coming together celebrating and making lifelong beautiful memories! Thank you Tom, for being such a gracious, helpful host. You were awesome! Also, loved the fresh eggs!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lake was beautiful. The available water equipment (kayaks, waterboards, pedal boat, rowboat, and inflatables) made for 4 days of great fun!

My family chose this home to celebrate our extended family Christmas. We found the house perfect for our needs, with enough bedrooms to accommodate all, including bunks for the kids with safety rails and a main floor bedroom with a walk in shower just right for our 90 something parents. The scenery and views in the snow made our holiday like something out of a movie. The kids, big and small, sledded down the hill, spend time in the boat house dreaming of a summer vacation there. Inside there was plenty of room in the great room for oldsters to relax and kids to play games without interfering with each other. We all giggled at the little ones poking their heads through the openings in the balcony railing. The kitchen is fully equipped with an adjacent sunny breakfast room and the main dining room served us well for Christmas dinner. The baths were spotless, the linens fresh and the welcoming gifts made us feel right at home. We even made use of the game room for quiet conversation and naps. We had brought peat from Ireland with us to make a turf fire and the fireplace made our evenings fairy-tale perfect. "Farmer Tim" the property manager took great care of us, from salting the drive to plowing the snow and emptying our generous amount of giftwrap garbage. David, the property contact, answered all my questions prior to our visit and responded very quickly to our inquiries. We are making plans for a summer visit and will definitely be back for next Christmas. You just can't go wrong with Lakewood Farms.

We visited this property with four families with several small kids and could not have been happier. The house has tons of space and property is huge. The private lake is fabulous for swimming, fishing and taking the boats out. Wonderful sundeck allows for relaxation while the kids enjoyed the water. We will definitely plan on coming back year after year!

Amazing property, wonderful waterfront, plenty of room for kids to play and for adults to find a private space to read. I loved the porch over the boat house,the beach and boats and lily pad. The kids did too and also loved fishing and tennis.
The home was large enough for big families or reunions. The kitchen was great and there was plenty of room to seat a crowd. The fire pit was welcoming although the bugs were bad this year because of the rainy spring.
We also loved the great room. Highly recommend for a wonderful getaway. Like having your own private camp. Suitable for all ages.
