Perfect Rating DT Home! Walk to Beach, Eats and More! 5 Min. to Road America!

Welcome to ElkHEART Escape! You and your family& friends will fall in love with our newly renovated, 4 bedroom/2 Full bath home. Centrally located in the MIDDLE of EVERYTHING Elkhart Lake has to offer!

Step through our original 1912 front door and discover a refreshed, modern version of small-town America. What will you choose to do first? Claim a cozy king, queen or bunk bed? Or maybe uncork that first bottle of wine and head to the deck to relax. Maybe you're hungry...step outside the front door and head to one of Elkhart's AMAZING restaurants...or gather your family and friends around the open concept kitchen/family room, and create an amazing dinner together to enjoy around our large dining table! Maybe you've arrived early and the kids want to head to the beach! Park your vehicle in our 2 car garage, get your swim suits on and load up the wagon or bikes! There's plenty of beach towels and sand toys to bring just a few blocks away to the Firemen’s Beach!

After a fun-filled day you'll want to return to your cozy bedroom and take a relaxing shower...don't worry, there are PLENTY of towels and soft blankets waiting for you! If you have seasoned travelers with you, they will enjoy our first floor bedroom. No need to climb any stairs! You'll spend the night dreaming of how to spend your next days around our AMAZING village! Will you visit Road America to watch a thrilling race? Or maybe you'll head down the road to nearby Sheboygan or Kohler for the day. Elkhart's very own Osthoff Resort offers a relaxing spa day, and the Shore Club's Tiki Bar is where the who's who of Elkhart like to gather for fun nightlife and drinks. Whatever you choose there aren't enough minutes in your day to experience it ALL...you'll just have to come back!

ElkHeart Escape is not like other vacation home rentals. We want to make sure you do not have to think about running to the store for toilet paper, paper towels or even a forgotten toothbrush! We provide EVERYTHING you need for your stay...plenty of paper products, extra toiletries in case you forgot yours at home, towels and luxury hotel pillows and bedding, beach towels, and sand toys!

Welcome to our home...you'll LOVE it as much as we do!

Need some "Vacay Inspiration"?!? Elkhart Lake has so much to offer, you might not know where to start! Let us help you paint your perfect Getaway picture...

Spring Forward: Starting around May 25th one of our favorites comes back into town...it's the start of Saturday morning Farmer's Market! Here you will enjoy local artisans and their crafts and indulgences. It's also an amazing time to take a bike ride around town and on local trails. Don't forget to head to the Marsh Park Observation Tower in Sheboygan and watch Spring come alive!

Family Fun in the Summer Sun: This is our family's absolute FAVORITE time to experience all that Elkhart Lake has to offer! We LOVE renting kayaks and paddle boards from the Osthoff Resort, or going out on a boat ride for some on the water with rentals through Elkhart Watersports located within a few blocks of the home. Dining outside at Lake Street Cafe and then getting the kids ice-cream at Gesserts is the ideal way to end a long day at the beach.

Girls Relaxation Weekend: Pack your bags and call all your girlfriends for some relaxing, leave-your-troubles-at-home time! Whether you're taking a cooking class at the Osthoff or sipping wine (right across the street!) at Vintage Elkhart Lake, you'll never want to leave our perfect, stress-free haven. Did we mention that the world-renowned Aspira Spa is 2 blocks out our front door?!? https://www.aspiraspa.com/

Guys Getaway: Start your engines and head to Road America for Elkhart Lakes most exciting draw! Check the race schedule NOW and experience the thrills and sounds of one of America's greatest sports! https://www.roadamerica.com/calendar
Don't forget to pack your golf clubs and reserve your tee time at Quit Qui Golf Course, or walk 2 blocks down the road and relax at SwitchGear Brewery!

Great Elkhart Lake experience

Property worked beautifully as a vacation spot for three couples and several toddlers. Stairs are steep so bring a baby gate if you wish, but everything else was taken care of! Games, toys, towels, you name it.

Great Race Base

Our extended family of seven adults stayed here during the vintage sports car races at Road America and the Austin Healey Club of America national meet the following week. Although we were initially concerned about having only two bathrooms and our tight schedule for many competition events, we had no problems at all. The house was immaculate, well maintained, quiet , and comfortable for needed rest. We would stay here again, but the rigor of towing a trailer with a race car and all of our tools and supplies on the 3000 mile round trip from Texas makes that unlikely to be a frequent occurrence.

Perfect Location for LDW

Very clean and enough space for 2 families with little boys (4 adults, 4 young kids). Highlights: bunk beds, eat in kitchen area, large table for meals/games, variety of games and books provided by the property, walkable to everything in town (especially the park). The owners also graciously made an accommodation for our family. We come to Road America/Elkhart Lake every year and would happily stay here again.

Wonderful home in the heart of Elkhart Lake

This was such a lovely home, perfect for our whole family. The kids (6 & 3) loved their room and there were books and games to enjoy. We loved being close to Brown Bear, Gesserts, Tiki bar, OTR, Siebkens and more! House was clean and inviting with a well-stocked kitchen. Can't wait to stay here again! Thanks so much!
