Oak Bluff

We stayed in this accomodation for 6 weeks very tranquil fantastic views of the lake and wildlife. House was very clean if not a little quirky but we soon got used to it. Any issues (Minor) were quickly resolved by Al. Would definately stay again. We have recommended to friends as a possible place to stay when they come across from UK in October

Home away from home with a view!

Such a wonderful estate with gorgeous views. Wooden floors with a unique layout, almost every room you go in has a windup view of the property and surrounding area. The host made the check in very easy and accommodating and although in a terrible communicator, the host also was great on communication. If I’m ever in Antioch area for business or pleasure again, I will definitely be looking to book again. This rental his highly recommended and is a great deal for all it has to offer. Thanks!

Daddy - Daughter Weekend

Every year a small group of my friends and our daughters take a trip together. For the past two years, we have gone to Country Thunder, in Twin Lakes, WI. This year's rental was far and away better than last year's accommodations. The house was the perfect size for our group and the location was incredibly convenient. We were all able to spend some quality time on the enormous back deck and relax while taking in the beautiful lake view. In addition to the fantastic accommodations, the home owner was extremely easy to work with and responsive to all my questions. If we're back in the area next year, we would definitely book this home again.

Beautiful lakeside home

Everything was just as we had hoped. Waterfront was beautiful and set up for enjoying coffee for sunrise. House was clean and well taken care of. Park next to the house was really nice for kids to enjoy as we watched from the deck. Great host!

What A Beautiful View!

After having to cancel a big vacation, the first one since the pandemic started, we had to settle for a local, mini vacation. When I saw this property on VRBO, I had no idea of the treasure I had found. This never felt like we were "settling." The views of the lake from several rooms of the house are amazing! Thel house was also very clean and well-stocked. And Al was wonderful at responding to questions and requests! This was a perfect little getaway and we're thinking of returning in the summer when we can take advantage of the lake activities!

Nice Stay With an Amazing View

Al was great with communication and was quite helpful and accomodating. My family had a great time at the lakehouse for Thanksgiving. The view is amazing! Gave it 4 stars due to the steps that lead into the kitchen from the main entry which was a challenge but if you don't mind that, 5 stars it is!

Relaxing Girls weekend

We are a group of cousins spending a relaxing weekend away from it all. This home has an absolutely beautiful view of the lake from the many-leveled deck--we spent at lot of our time out there. Right next door there is a grassy park with swings and a small beach, which would be great if you have kids with you. There is a nice dock off the back of the property, but be aware that the only way down to the water is a small detached wooden ladder that can be difficult to negotiate. Once we got into the water, though, it was worth it! Only other issue is the steps to the upstairs wind around and might be iffy for older people and little kids. The bedrooms and beds are all comfortable and there is plenty of seating in the living room (with another beautiful view of the lake). We also enjoyed a quick drive to the shops in Lake Geneva. The owner is very easy to work with and was really nice about giving us an early check-in and a flexible check-out.
