8 of stayed at this property and played golf for a couple days at Lawsonia. The house slept 8 comfortably and the owner was very easy to work with.

Always a pleasure staying at this location. A hidden gem in Green Lake and walking distance to town. Very well-maintained property. Property Manager always available, responsive and proactive.

Our family loved our time at the house. It was perfect for multiple family members and even our one year old. Highly recommend!

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!

Beautiful property. Open and bright. Good sleeping arrangements - we had 5 and very comfortable. Great location. Restaurants walkable. Some lake view also.

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".

Everything was perfect! The house is large, has everthing that you will need and is located within walking distance of restaurants. We have stayed here before and it is wonderful! We highly recommend it!

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.

The hospitality the owner Jo Ellen Madden provides is superior! Our family of 10 loved our stay at Back Pond Cottage! The grandchildren loved swimming, fishing, and skiing in Green Lake!

Third year in a row we've stayed here. Love the proximity to golf courses as well as restaurants and bars. Jo Ellen is fantastic to work with. Can't recommend this spot enough!

Beautiful home, convenient to town, and a very helpful and responsive owner. I would like to bring my entire family in the future.

A great place to unwind and relax! Definitely will be back again!

We love staying at this home. This was our 2nd Thanksgiving here. We’re Green Lake lovers and you couldn’t find a more perfect place to enjoy that. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful property!

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.

The property was great, plenty of space for a group of 5. Patio with the gas fire pit was a big benefit. Close to golf and an easy walk downtown.

The house feels like home. Plenty of space, amenities, walk to downtown, water front. Manager very responsive. Excellent location.

Had a wonderful lake weekend getaway. House was very clean and matched the pictures. Overall great experience!

This was the perfect spot for our group of friends. Jo Ellen was extremely helpful and accommodating. We had a wonderful weekend and hope to come back in the future. Thank you!

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!

Ideal location. Able to walk to town, beach and marina. House was stocked with everything you might need for preparing meals.

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!

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.

Great spot, great deck. Its walking distance to everything!

We love staying here. Such a great location and a great property set up for whatever you might be enjoying in Green Lake. Jo Ellen is great to work with. Can't recommend this spot enough!

Gorgeous Guest House and Wonderful Town!

The space was perfect for the seven of us! Clean and bright and the view Of the water was perfect! One little hiccup when the water wasn’t turned on when we arrived but the caretaker came and fixed it promptly! Plenty of space for us to spread out and enjoy. Jo Ellen was a dream to work with!

Very clean, well stocked. Owner even bought steak knives when they found out we were grilling out!

This is the third time that our multi-generational family has stayed at this amazing home, and each time we appreciate and enjoy it as much or more than the time before. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, yet within convenient walking distance to the shops, restaurants, events, and marina in town. The lovely view of the lake adds to the comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. We especially appreciate the large space for gathering as a group as well as more tranquil spaces for peaceful enjoyment. Jo Ellen has provided a beautiful and immaculate home furnished with anything you could wish for. This year she has added new appliances to the kitchen and a great gas firepit to the deck. She is a kind and accommodating host who is great to work with. We all look forward to returning next year.

The home was amazing with nice views of the lake, plenty of space to spread out if need be and close to lots of fun things :) I would definitely book this place again and again.

The house fit our two families very comfortably, and it felt like we were truly staying in a friend's well-cared-for home (welcome basket and all, thank you!) The house was clean, well stocked and the beds/pillows/sheets were all comfortable! We'll be back!
