About this house rental

Looking for a place big enough for your extended family or someplace you can share with friends? Come stay at The Elk Inn and let our lake home be the place where you create wonderful memories year after year. Our year-round 4000 square foot home on 212 acre full recreation Lily Lake offers ample living space with incredible lake views, abundant land and water activities, and the peace and solitude of the great Northwoods. Listen to the loons and whippoorwills, watch our resident eagle take flight, enjoy the beautiful sunsets, or just relax by the fire with family and friends. Our property consists of 3 wooded acres with 220 feet of lake frontage and beautiful unspoiled views.
Our clean, 2009 home is fully-furnished and has warm, inviting decor that gives you the comforts of home with nature at your doorstep. On the main floor you will find the great room complete with a large, beautiful slate fireplace, cathedral ceiling, and abundant windows with lake views – a favorite gathering place. Adjacent to the great room is a generous sized kitchen which boasts a large hand-chiseled family-size table which seats 8-10, an eat-at kitchen island with seating for 5, and an additional corner breakfast nook that seats up to 5. This well-stocked kitchen also offers a full line of appliances and more beautiful lake views. A powder room and separate laundry room complete with full size washer and dryer are located off the kitchen. Also off the kitchen is an oversized deck complete with a gas grill and deck furniture -- a perfect place for eating, taking in sunsets, or stargazing. On the main level you will also find two master suites complete with queen sized beds and full baths in each. The hallway adjoining the two masters has a ship’s ladder going to an upper private bedroom with four twin size beds. On the lower walk-out level of the home, you find two additional private bedrooms with queen sized beds as well as bunk beds or a trundle bed. You will also find another full bath, a large family room for adults and/or children to gather (more lake views!), and a mudroom with access to the oversized attached garage. Outside the garage is an outdoor firepit and a large covered lower concrete patio with an additional seating area to gather.
Our lake front has a pier for swimming and fishing and is well-suited for rental guests to bring a boat. If you do not have your own boat, we have a canoe and 3 recreational kayaks available to all of our guests as well as the option of renting our 24 ft. pontoon boat (14 person or 2200 lb. capacity). Our 32 ft. pier extends from a natural, rocky shoreline and is complete with a swim ladder and an excellent area for swimming. Our swim area has a hard sand/cobble bottom and no weeds. The water is 2-3 ft. deep near shore and 5-6 ft. deep near the end of the pier. We also have an Otter Island swim raft for your family to enjoy. Our property also offers an additional outdoor camping area with firepit, an outdoor swing facing the lake, a large hammock, and easy access to the Nicolet National Forest and other public lands with recreation trails for mountain biking, hiking, ATV, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Nearby you will also find beaches, whitewater kayaking/rafting/tubing on the Wolf River, golf, downhill skiing, and numerous family activities including a brand new state of the art Potawatomi indoor recreation facility located in Crandon - a family favorite! Whether you choose to spend your time on the water or on land, we guarantee you will be able to create many wonderful memories you and your loved ones will cherish for many years to come. Come see and experience our Northwoods lakehouse retreat for yourself!

The cabin is absolutely beautiful!! Lots of space for family get aways. It was 11 of us. The views are amazing!! It takes a little bit to get down to the lake and shoreline has many rocks. Fishing was ok. If you need anything its a 20 minute drive. We went to vetrans memorial park. Huge sand beach area. Theres lots of wildlife. Owners are very responsive.

We stayed with our family of 7 (kids ages 3 months - 9 years) and another family of 7 (kids age 1 - 11 years) and we all had space to sleep and play and eat. It is a bit of a hike down to the water but such a beautiful spot. Thanks for opening your home to us!

This was a fantastic house! We have rented several lake houses with another family and this was by far our favorite house. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The lake was beautiful and enjoyed by everyone.

This home surpassed my expectations. It was so clean and there was plenty of space. The beds were very comfortable. The deck had a beautiful view of the lake. The area surrounding the home is very private, with lots and trees and foliage. The walk down to the lake is steep but worth every step. The water is very clean and calm. Our children loved the raft in the water. If you are looking for some quiet time in nature, this is the place to stay. We absolutely loved our stay.

This 5 bedroom lake house is perfect for family size gatherings. We had four families which included 7 adults and 5 children that fit perfectly. The home has every amenity you could need and is very clean. The large kitchen had an adult and child size table which was great during meal times. The large deck with two tables enhanced our family time as well as the fire pit area. The lake was great for water sports with our boat however we did not have much success with fishing. The home is secluded but is within 25 minutes of Crandon which has a great beach, shopping, and restaurants. Our family is repeat users and love the place!

6 of us have been VRBO'ing x 12 years, and this is by far the cleanest, best stocked, place we have been at. There is so much space inside to move about. Absolutely no complaints!! The sitting areas by the lake are exceptionally peaceful. (Now, this is not a complaint, but just a warning, the first part of the decent down to the lake is steep, and a couple of our ladies were not able to make the journey due to physical ailments - it's just a word of warning). Will Definitely Consider This Place Again in the Future.

Our group of 9 adults and 1 infant had a great time at the house- it was big enough for all of us to be comfortable and had everything we needed. One thing to note - the house is on a hill, and there is a steep path down to the lake. We had one person with mobility issues and a baby in the group, so it was not the best set up for us. We made it work, but just in case anyone else with accessibility needs is looking I thought I’d mention it. Besides that it was honestly perfect! The lake is gorgeous and we rented the pontoon boat and had so much fun out on the water!

This property has all the features and amenities for a wonderful family vacation. It’s a pristine vacation home that meets or exceeds all expectations. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for food prep. 5 bedrooms provided plenty of sleeping accommodations. The kids loved sleeping in the loft area. There were a lot of thoughtful perks to keep them occupied - board games, puzzles, a Wii game system, and even bikes in the garage. Lily lake was great for boating and the floating raft off the pier was nice for swimming. For a day at the beach, we’d highly recommend the city beach in Cranston - only a 20 minute drive away. There also a great restaurant/bar for Friday fish only 10 minutes away called Burgt’s. There’s a binder with info on local restaurants and attractions which came in handy. The only minor issues to be aware of are the downhill walk to the pier and the spotty WiFi coverage which is to be expected. The owners were very responsive to all questions. We thank them for sharing their place.

Great space and amenities for the entire family. Kitchen well stocked with kitchenware and plenty of indoor and outdoor toys for the kids. Enjoyed pontoon rides and exploring with the kayaks. The whole family enjoyed playing the interactive games on the Wii on rainy days. We would definitely come back.

Our stay at Elk Inn was wonderful! The home was extremely clean and spacious. It had everything we needed. The view of the lake from the house was just gorgeous. The house itself had plenty to offer. We spent our time between the lake, hiking, and at the house. We would recommend this home to everyone!

The drive for us was long but once there it was worth every minute spent on the road. The property had every amenity we could have asked for. We wanted for nothing. Extremely well maintained, beautiful home. The peace and tranquility of the area has to be experienced to be appreciated.

The house and lake are as beautiful as the pictures look. Lots of space to relax. Also so beautifully quiet. It is steep getting down to the lake and back up but worth it.
