As you rise to greet the new day and gather in the comfort of the spacious living and dining area, sunlight dancing on the waves seems to draw you through the sliding glass doors out onto your deck, then into the lake.

While you can enjoy the convenience of a having your own modern kitchen, if you want to leave the cooking to the pros, both fine and casual dining are available nearby in Sheboygan and Kohler and a good local restaurant "Judi's'" in town. Judi's is not open in the evenings so hurry in for breakfast and lunch 7 days a week. The Kohler American Club 5 diamond resort restaurants and Blackwolf Run provide unique atmosphere outstanding food and great views. In Sheboygan, make reservations early for a fabulous authentic gourmet Italian meal at upscale Trattoria Stefano. Further north the dining at Whistling Straits is exceptional in the most gorgeous setting and about 20 minutes away.

Mosquito Squad protects you from those pests and ticks this year!
The home has 3 bedrooms (sleeps 6) and two full bathrooms (showers only). It features a rustic knotty pine interior, ceramic tile floors and ceiling fans throughout.
The master bedroom faces the lake and has a king bed and flat screen TV. The second bedroom, with a queen bed, is located on the North side and has a nice view of the lake through the trees. The third bedroom has two twin beds and a view of the backyard and woods. Luxurious touches throughout.
Full A/C combination wall heater is now installed for your comfort with dehumidifier.
Most folks are very comfortable and open the windows at night and close them around noon if it warms up. I have ceiling fans and usually a cool lake breeze keeps guests comfortable.
There is also direct beach access about 10 houses down to put in Kayaks, canoes and Paddle boards at the end of Foster AA public access.
The village just improved the public access area a bit but it is still mostly small uneven flat walk out rock.
It is a one level ranch house with few stairs. There are 8 stairs as you walk up to the house from the driveway. There are 3 uneven stairs with railing from the parking area to the walk. Then 5 concrete stairs with a railing from the walkway to the backdoor main entry.

Continuous improvements made since the renovation have only enhanced its appeal as a cozy retreat in any weather in any season. The bedding, linens and furniture have been replaced so they are fresh and new. First time visitors to the area are impressed.
One of the more subtle distinguishing desirable features of this home is that it is located on a tranquil lane. This becomes important for those seeking quiet relaxation. Other Lake front properties are located on smaller narrow lots, have numerous visitors as the ownership may be split between hosts of relatives and guests. Some Lake front houses will have 20 people visiting on a holiday weekend. If you are not familiar with the area it can be disruptive if you select the wrong property that is not suited to your needs.

This home offers the best accommodations for serenity, tranquility and quality time with guests. It may be the closest home to the water's edge, providing easy access for enjoying the lake with family and friends.

Some homes for rent have quite a walk to the water's edge from which also has advantages but can be problematic if watching children or dining near the water.
Many guests return every year so don't wait 'til it's too late.
Come visit the Best Lake House now, eh!

The home is cozy in the winter.

It is difficult to predict the Lake level each year. I hope it will return to normal for the season but have no control over nature's whims. The Army Corps of Engineers tracks and predicts the Lake Michigan level. Their website suggests that the beach will return to its wide expanse for sometime in the future.

In the meantime, if you bring a kayak or paddle board it will enhance your stay. I am unable to provide these items due to insurance restrictions.

Other details: I now have Mosquito Squad providing control to fight those pests and ticks!
My home is selectively rented to reduce the Covid-19 exposure. We are meticulous in disinfecting. This results in a home with limited exposure to infectious agents.
We have a disinfectant specialist who reviews the property standards and frequently visits the home to be sure it is as safe as possible for your stay.
Our home is fully licensed by the Town of Holland and Inspected and licensed by the County of Sheboygan.
I must advise that the "The rocks in front of the house are dangerous if you try to enter the Lake, they are slippery and can be covered in algae." Also the rocks were recently installed and are still settling so they can be unstable. Stairs are installed as of June 2023, and a ladder allows access to the water and growing beach.
FALL-WINTER
Fall is a wonderful time to stay and enjoy the change of seasons.
Winter is stunning with the dramatic beauty of the lake, sparkling ice and snow.
Fall always brings a stunning collage of foliage color to the area and hiking our three beautiful state parks are a lovely way to take it all in. Kohler-Andre, Harrington Beach, and Kettle Moraine State Parks are all conveniently located.

Winter is stunning with the dramatic beauty of the lake, sparkling ice and snow.
In the winter, you can hike, cross-country ski or mountain bike. A snowboard park is close by for additional snow fun. It claims the largest snow tubing park in the country, Sunburst Ski Park.
WSJ article 9-16-2022
"A home near the water can provide more than just recreation and nice views. Water is also said to have healing powers and the ability to reduce anxiety, ease mental fatigue and rejuvenate weary bodies."
Costs
Some interested renters wonder why the rates may seem expensive. Part of the cost of the lake front homes is the real estate taxes. The taxes are used to maintain the lovely Village of Oostburg and the schools. The average cost for annual real estate taxes can approach $10,000 per year depending on the location. Attentive upgrades and thorough cleaning increases operating costs, but permits the nicest furnishings available.

(Note, reservations marked "Tentative" means that the dates may still be available. A signed paid for contract secures the dates and then they are marked "reserved." "Blocked" indicates planned upgrades or construction to the home that are scheduled but sometimes can be adjusted.) Contact me if you need flexibility in selecting dates. If I am able I can adjust times for your stay.
