Cottage by the Shore

Richard and Mary's cottage is immaculate and cozy. The quiet lake setting was the perfect spot for morning coffee, bird watching and nightime campfires. The proximity of Kiel and Elkhart Lake made day trips a breeze. We will definitey return!

The place was as described. The only complaint was that it took two days to get a response from the owner when trying to find out the check in information. Finally received a call back when we were only an hour away. I was concerned about how we were going to get in with no information.

Highly Recommend

My with and I, both in our 70’s with husband needing walker. We had planned to have a last summer trip, and this could not have been nicer. Extremely clean, well suited for a walker, beautiful lakeside view with adjoining fire pit. The owners were both very accomadating and readily available for any questions. It was a wonderful way for us to end the summer. Thank you to the owners.

Relax

The property is exactly as the pictures show. The patio is private and offers a beautiful view of the lake. The lake was very weedy in mid-July. Kiel is a quick drive into town for groceries. If you want a quiet getaway, you'll be pleased.

Lake House Life =)

What a wonderful stay with Richard and Mary! The bedroom windows and sliding glass door look out over the lake, the lake breeze is especially pleasant in the evening, and the A/C made for comfortable sleeping in a wonderful bed. The reading chair with a view of the lake was perfect -- and so was the chance to take the new pup out for her first pedal boat ride just at sunset. I look forward to returning for further adventures and relaxation!

Lakeside retreat

The photos were very accurate and the cottage was a perfect size for 2 people looking to get away for a few days. Everything was clean and AC worked great. Even though the owners lived next door, they gave us plenty of privacy after the initial welcome. We ran out of time to use the kayak and paddleboat, but we enjoyed floating off the dock. I only wish there weren't so many weeds, but I know those are getting removed. Enjoying coffee at daybreak and roasting marshmallows on the fire pit at sunset are a must. We have friends that live on this lake, so this was a great location. Grocery store and restaurants were a short drive and we were only 35 minutes from Kettle moraine forest for hiking. Thanks to the owners for sharing their cottage with us! We will be back.
