About this house rental
Beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath home on Elm Island bay off of the Fox River in Waterford, WI. This home has all of the charm of an up-north cabin, but is fully updated and just a short 30 minute drive from Milwaukee and less than an hour from Chicago's northern suburbs. Single story home with little to no stairs required to get to the water less than twenty steps from the back door. Wood burning stove and tongue and groove pine finishes give you that up north feel, but all of the updates will make you feel right at home. Laundry on the living level and two full bathrooms offer convenience and comfort. Sleeping arrangements for 10 if needed: Master bedroom features a queen size memory foam bed, 2nd bedroom facing the water has a bunk bed with full size mattress on the bottom and a twin on the top, 3rd bedroom has a bunk bed with full size mattress on the bottom and a twin on the top, and living room couch pulls out into a queen size sleeper sofa. Kitchen table seating for six or seven people, with additional stools and eating area at the island. All kitchen appliances are less than 5 years old, including refrigerator, stove, and over the range microwave. Bring your fishing poles and swim trunks - the Fox River and Lake Tichigan are abundant with Largemouth Bass and Catfish, and provide plenty of opportunity for Bluegills, Northern Pike, Walleye, and an occasional Trout. Lake Tichigan is great for swimming or boating, and there are more than one restaurants accessible by boat and provide docking. Bring your own boat and keep it on the private pier or take advantage of the two complimentary kayaks. Elm Island bay is a shallow low-traffic bay off of the Fox River and is home to swans and abundant wildlife. Fishermen frequent the bay in search of Largemouth Bass, Bluegills, and Catfish, all of which can be caught right from the pier. Swimming in Elm Island Bay (off the pier) is not desirable due to shallow water, lillypads, weeds and mucky bottom. In the evening you can have a fire in the back yard or in the house, but the furnace will keep you warm if desired or central air is there to cool you down. Ultra-fast 60 Mbps Wi-Fi and 46" LED TV will keep you entertained if the fishing and lake cannot. YouTube TV HD with approximately 80 channels available and also HD upconvert DVD player. Please come relax and enjoy all that the beautiful Fox River and Lake Tichigan have to offer year-round.

This place is close to everything you may need on vacation, ie grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, but gives you the feel that you are in the country. The house was very clean, and well equipped for cooking in or grilling out. This was my second time renting this place and I would highly recommend it to others.

We had a wonderful time and Grant was a great host! He answered the emails to the questions we had in a timely fashion.
We fished everyday, caught about 10 to 15 pan fish, even though it was like fishing in a tornado but it was fun.
The house was clean, and had everything we needed. We decided not to take our little dogs with, but Grant had a great fenced in space for them.
Thanks Grant and hope to be back soon!

Great space- our bed was very comfortable- we were in town for a wedding so didn’t spend much time there. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed the space.

The house was cozy and very comfortable. They have tons of extras such as games, puzzles, just about anything you would probably forget to bring! The best part for our family was the constant Bird activity on the water. We even watched a swan! Looking forward to another stay at this property! Great job😊

It was a perfect quiet place to stay and relax. My pups were so comfortable which made it easier for me to relax after i was recovering from a little surgery.
Grant was helpful and kind. Everything was where he said it would be. Lived that the yard was fenced in! That was a bonus.

Stayed for a few nights and had a nice stay. Home was comfortable, clean and definitely had a cabin on the river feel. Large and open living, dining and kitchen with comfortable beds in each bedroom. Awesome view onto the fox river - will definitely look for Grant’s home for our next visit.

I had the most wonderful experience at Grant's Place near the water! The location was simply breathtaking, offering stunning views that created the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The hospitality was exceptional, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The cozy accommodations, combined with the soothing sounds of the water, made for an unforgettable stay. I can't wait to return to this hidden gem and create more cherished memories. Highly recommended!

The place was excellent. Everything was clean, and Grant was very responsive and an excellent host. The location is right by a lake, and there is a grill. I booked it for a weekend getaway for me and my friends, and it was the perfect place to relax.

We had a nice little vacation here! There were five of us: 2 college kids and a high schooler. We brought our Kayak and paddle board and used the kayaks at the property (they have 2). My husband and daughter said they loved the kayaks! Though the weather was hot, the air-conditioning in the house kept us nice and cool. The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty seating for both dining and relaxing. The firepit is nice to sit around, although we didn't have a fire, due to the hot weather. We absolutely loved that we could bring our dogs and let them explore the fenced in backyard!

We had everything we needed for a perfect family getaway. The home was large, open and clean. Everything we needed was supplied. Grant even left us coffee and a bottle of wine! We enjoyed fishing from the pier and cooking on the fire pit. A fenced in yard was a bonus to keep the kids and dog safe.
We were even able to rent Grant’s Tiki Barge for a trip on the river. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is exactly what my boyfriend and I needed. The home was clean, well stocked, and the views were amazing. There are delicious restaurants nearby, and plenty of things to do in town. We booked on a rainy weekend but got lucky and had the sun peak out Saturday so we went out to the dock and caught some fish!! The host was amazing, even called the day we were coming up to check in and introduce himself. We can’t wait to come back and stay longer next time.
