We really enjoyed our stay. The home is beautifully appointed with all the necessities. Big St. Germain is our favorite lake, perfect for fishing, tubing, and swimming!

This home is so lovely, clean and updated. You can tell they took great care with a recent remodel of the house. There is a large level yard and great screened in porch. The lake was pretty windy the week we were there and fishing was tough at times. We visited the 2 smaller lakes that connect and fished the dock when the wind died down. Saint Germain is a great little town to visit as well.

Great house, great screen porch in a great location!

The property is beautiful, the home is well appointed, and the wildlife is abundant. Nearby shopping and activities rounded out the perfect up north getaway.

This was a great place. Everything was so nice and new. We liked that we could use the washer and dryer. The view from the screen porch and the large windows in the house were wonderful. The best sunsets. There were so many deer in the yard and the family of eagles nearby were great to watch.

A terrific house and property! The house is completely remodeled with everything you'd need outside of beach towels. A great location and perfect for our family. We would definitely come back.

Our family really enjoyed the location and cabin! Perfect for family with fire pit and swingset. The pier/dock was great. Definitely outboard or jet skis only given depth, but well outfitted with protection for boats. Eagles, sunsets, a lot of fun.

Fun for everybody in the family. We especially enjoyed the screen porch and the wildlife.

Lovely top notch lake home

Property was fantastic! The house was nicely updated with plenty of space for our family. The pier is really nice which makes parking a boat incredibly easy.

Our family spends 1 week together each year which we call the Gift of Time Week. Each year, we set out to find that perfect place for our family. This home on Big St. Germain lake was so very close to perfect! It was very clean (didn't find any spider webs in the house!) and the kitchen was very well stocked with quality utensils pans, plates, glasses, etc. We often find that other renters have spared their dollars on this stuff and it was great to find these items available to us. The yard was terrific, with lots of space and the screen porch was a great hideaway for those rainy days. The dock for our pontoon rental was great...just a little difficult to park on those strong westerly windy days. The only fallback of this property was the waterfront. From the pictures, we thought there was somewhat of a beach for our granddaughter to play on, but there is no beach. The water does have a shallow sand bottom, but with the common west winds, our sand was often covered by what the wind blew in. We did discover a great sand bar by the island to play on, but bring your water shoes, as there are rocks that surround the sand. The driveway has plenty of parking space for our 3 vehicles and our utility trailer. The walk to to the Boat Landing was just the right length for getting us going in the morning. Fishing was a struggle, but our expectations in early August are low. We marked plenty of fish on the bottom, but getting them to bite was difficult. My daughter did catch her first walleye ever! St Germain offers everything you need from a nice Sentry grocery store, to the Bait Store, to Cathy's Ice Cream shop. There's a tiki bar across the highway from the Ice Cream shop. We also found a super fun Disc Golf course just 30 minutes away in Sugar Camp - you have to bring your own discs and don't forget to donate. They spend a lot of time grooming the course. My daughter and her husband found a nice bike trail right near the Sentry store. Our stay was awesome. Thank you to Mike and Lori for taking great care of their property for us!

A spacious open-concept home recently remodeled with a well stocked kitchen perfect for home cooked meals. Large windows let in lots of light and provide beautiful views of the lake. The screened in porch is the perfect place to read a book, enjoy a cup of coffee or happy hour! The dock is great for watching sunsets and the resident eagles, and has a ladder for easy swimming access. Highly recommend staying here!

Everyone had a wonderful time! New kitchen is awesome.

We had a great time on our vacation. The home was beautiful and the lake provided hours of entertainment. The dock was really nice but the water was a bit shallow at the end. We were worried it wouldn’t be deep enough for our boat but it was fine. We accidentally locked ourselves out of the house assuming the key opened all doors. Mike was very understanding and quick to help us out. Would highly recommend this property.

Pros: very clean and well kept rental, had all the necessities for daily use within, screen porch, central air!!!, decent beds,gorgeous window views, very nice updated bathrooms, beautiful property, accomodating owners Cons: did not have a table on screened porch or picnic table in yard to eat at with family in the outdoors, the kids were not able to enjoy the sandy bottom by the dock as the entire area was covered in thick debris that washed in even including pieces of garbage, no curtains or blinds on big west facing windows to get a break from the blinding late day sun.

This location is a fantastic place to take a family with small kids for a week long trip. The property is beautiful with a flat, wooded, and nicely maintained lot. The west winds were comfortable and there were very few mosquitos. The water is shallow and relatively sandy which is great for the young ones to swim. They can go almost a hundred yards from shore and only be in three feet of water. We also did not realize what a lifesaver the swing set would be. The kids used it daily. On top of this, the house is extremely clean. I am a stickler for clean floors and bathrooms and this house had both. The only thing that badly needs upgrading is the dining set. Family dinners are a big part of our northwoods experience, and the chairs (as referenced in other reviews) are very uncomfortable.

Exceeded our expectations! Would definitely stay again.

This is a beautiful home and property. The owners have thought of everything that guests would need to be comfortable. They responded quickly to questions and were great to work with. We can’t wait to return.

The photos absolutely capture the beauty and tranquility of this place. The home was clean and ready for our use. We brought up our bikes, so enjoyed biking around the lake - and connecting up with one of the local paved (protected lane) bike trails. We rented kayaks in Sayner and spent a couple afternoons paddling around Big St. Germain Lake. Favorite moments were watching wildlife from the picture window, hiking at nearby Star Lake, checking out shops in St. Germain and nearby Eagle River, cooking dinner together, reading on the pier, watch the sun set from the pier, building a fire at the water's edge and visiting....It's been hard to be back in the concrete jungle of urban Illinois, but trying to hang on to the glow! Thank you for generously sharing your home.

Even though we had 2 cold rainy days we had a good time. Very windy again but we managed.

Most comfortable bed I have slept in away from home. However, the dining room chairs were not very comfortable and some of the furniture in living room was quite faded. Lake and screen porch were lovely.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The dock was great for our boat and we also rented a pontoon boat. Both were easily docked there. The ramp to put our boat in was just a short distance and easy to access. The house was well equipped and even though we planned to eat out some during our week there the kitchen had all we needed and so we stayed at the house more than expected. Our grandkids 10 and 12 enjoyed fishing and wading around by the dock. It is shallow and has a nice sandy bottom. We enjoyed a camp fire and cooking hot dogs. The screened porch with the hammock was nice for relaxing and reading. We enjoyed the area. Very convient for go carting and horse back riding. We also took in the lumberjack show that we had taken our daughter to about 27 years ago. Our grandkids enjoyed that also. We had good cell phone reception and internet. I know most people say “your not there for that” but at night it was nice to have. One day it rained all day and we played board games but I admit at almost 60 I enjoy tv and internet. I really think it has something for the whole family. I hope we are able to visit again next year.

This home is in such a beautiful spot. The home is fully stocked with everything that you could need. Such a quiet and beautiful area. We saw deer gracefully walking through the yard every morning, as well as eagles sitting in the trees of the yard. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place for you. We would rent this home again.

The site on St. Germain was excellent. We were able to relax and enjoyed the private pier and yard.
