About this property

Laid Back Lakefront Cottage--Family Fun on Powers Lake

This two-story chalet style cottage sits right on the water of a small bay on Powers Lake, Wisconsin. Powers Lake is spring fed and very clean.
Our lakefront is great for swimming with a long shallow entry with a pebbly bottom. Lake views are on two sides of the property.
Spectacular sunset views as well as star-filled night skies are featured from the front cedar deck which overlooks the lake. Our family has enjoyed many wonderful days in this pleasant home, which is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac.
Families will be very comfortable with the open connected space of the great room, dining area, and kitchen. There is plenty more space to relax on the deck, in the screened porch, and rec room. A large grassy lawn offers a spot for outside games.

Main Living Space on the 2nd floor:
• Great Room with 180-degree view of the lake through the floor-to-ceiling windows along entire lakeside of the room.
• Dining Area with picture window and view of the lake
• Kitchen with lake view and open to dining area and great room
• Wide Cedar Deck across the front lakeside of the house
• 4 Bedrooms (queen, queen, queen and twin, 2 doubles) with blackout curtains
• Full Bath
Main living area is up a full flight of stairs from the ground level or a walkway up a hill, around the house and then up 5 steps.

Ground level/1st floor…which opens out to the lake:
• Large Rec Room with Ping Pong table
• Futon couch and futon chair
• Screened-in Porch under the upstairs deck
• ½ Bathroom plus 2 Showers with changing rooms
• Laundry Room
• Garage
Ground Level is open to the lakeside of the house on 1 side, open to the driveway on 1 side and underground on 2 sides.

Fishing on Powers Lake is great — northern pike, bass, and pan fish! Many of the best catches have been made right off our pier.

Family time at the lake house

Beautiful, unique place! It was exactly what we needed! Our family spend few days in this house- we needed to calm down from a busy life. The house is beautiful with a very interesting history. We enjoyed every morning coffee at the deck watching birds and a beauty of the lake. In the evening fireplace and watching stars. It was a last minute decision for us and the manager was very helpful and all communication fast. We will return there.

Lovely lake vacation

Our large family enjoyed our stay very much! The kitchen layout and big dining table was great for a group - and for games and puzzles. This home feels warm with family history, and allowed us to hang out all together both inside or out, or to spread out a bit as needed. We rented a pontoon boat one afternoon, and also paddled the canoe along with swimming/floating, lounging in the sun, and taking advantage of the barbecue. We hope to return!

Lake Geneva Golf Weekend

This Powers Lake property was the perfect place for our golf weekend. Centrally located between a bunch of great courses and close to Lake Geneva for nightlife. We loved the house and the lakefront property. Powers Lake was awesome as it was not as crowded as other lakes in the area. The Rock Bar was a plus for food and drinks close by. Would definitely stay again

Beautiful Powers Lake lake front rental home

We had a wonderful stay at the beautiful Laid Back Lake front cottage! What a beautiful view of Powers Lake! Our family enjoyed the large space of the house, stocked kitchen, fire pit, the deck and the nice lawn and dock. There were many chairs and lake floating devices. We all loved the large windows overlooking the sunset. Suzy (the owner) was very responsive and answered all of our questions. We will be back to rent this lovely home!

Worthy of a second visit

This was our second time visiting the Lakehouse and it didn’t disappoint! Ample room, scenic views and great place to bring kids. We didn’t have access to a working dishwasher until the last day, but the property manager and owner were very up front about it before we arrived. We highly recommend coming here if you have a larger group.

Gorgeous Property, Fantastic Host

We rented this lakefront cottage for MDW 2023, and it exceeded all our expectations. We were a group of adults with our dog, and found that the house and lakefront property were exceptional. Very spacious, clean, and with lots of interesting history. I had been communicating with Susie in the weeks leading up to our trip, and she was very responsive and helpful in recommending other activities during our stay. When we head back to Powers Lake, I will certainly try to stay here again.

This was an awesome property and vacation. The house was more than large enough and yet still very cozy. We played a lot of ping pong. We will be back. I also found the house history on the wall really interesting. Thank you for sharing that.

Stunning property

This is a beautiful place on a beautiful piece of property. The 10 of us had plenty of space, both indoors and outdoors. The lake view is unbeatable. We all had fun swimming, fishing & boating. The ping pong table was great for indoor fun. We appreciated how well-stocked the lake house was. Communication from the owner was excellent. I highly recommend this place!

Exceptional cottage and lake!

We had such a wonderful time at this charming cottage on beautiful Powers Lake. The house was so clean and very comfortable. The views of the lake from the main living room and kitchen are stunning. We rented a pontoon from right across the lake and spent most of the days either on the lake or on the deck looking at the lake. We spent the evenings on the beautiful side yard playing bags and making s’mores around the fire pit. We would definitely come back to this absolutely perfect lake house!!

Lake Views and Relaxation

House was well stocked with everything we needed with enough of a cabin feel that just seemed to fit with the lake. We loved the elevated full deck, where we spent each night watching the sunset turn to cottage lights and boat lights around the lake. So peaceful!! Kitchen had a long bar type counter, great for breakfast conversation. Super clear lake water. Got up early each morning to sit on the pier with my coffee and watch the early morning fisherman do their thing.

We had the time of our life staying on this beautiful property. The beach and pier are in a small bay that is protected and quiet. Great for swimming & floating on air mattresses. House faces west, so we really enjoyed the sunsets. Loved every minute!

About the host

Why they chose this property

We love this comfortable cottage located on property with one of the best views of Powers Lake. Sunsets are remarkable and can be seen from the outside deck, great room, dining area, kitchen, and screened-in porch. Or sit on the bench at the end of the pier for a peaceful, sunset moment. That is when and where our son proposed to his wife!

What makes this property unique

In many lakes, the lake bottom is mucky and thus unpleasant to walk in. The lake bottom at our property is pebbly and firm to the end of the pier (about 80-feet from shore). This makes for a really nice swimming area for young children.
