About this property

Log Cabin on Great Fishing & Boating Lake

Home has been completely remodeled and is ready for your visit! Get ready to enjoy your escape on Little Green Lake with this awesome log cabin exterior and modern furnishings inside. Conveniently located next to Vandy's Bar and Grill, this home had several updates in 2015 including new fixtures, new furniture, new deck, new appliances, new pier, and much more!

This 3-bedroom and 2-bathroom home is almost 1,900 square feet and spacious for the whole family. Sleeps 8 with 2 king beds and 2 queen beds. Spacious and expansive deck along the entire backside of the home and garage area leading to sizable backyard with fire pit. Roughly 60 feet of frontage with direct access to water and room to dock your own boat.

Along the southeast shore of Little Green Lake, a lake approximately 450 acres in size, this home is the perfect getaway for those that want some relaxation on the water, but the convenience of being near the local hot spot (Vandy's) for a Friday fish fry or afternoon happy hour.

This home is a great year-round rental with plenty of activities both on and off the lake. Whether you intend to fish, swim, go boating, play volleyball, use the beach, grill out, have a family picnic, visit Amish country, go antiquing, ice fish, go biking, go fish-fry hunting, go motorcycling, or you're just looking for a weekend away in a romantic venue with a lake, fire pit, and nature around you, you've got an excellent option in this home.

Whether you're looking for a fun summer place to unwind and get out on the water, or a cozy winter hideaway to escape with a warm fire, the Little Green Lake House may just be for you. Perhaps you're an expert angler or an aspiring fisherman and you want to try your hand (and rod/reel) at a record muskie or nice sized pan fish. Or, maybe you're looking for a place to simply recharge with some good music, an outdoor fire pit, some s'mores, and a friendly game of volleyball. This home has everything you need to vacation without limits.

- City of Markesan (2 minutes)
- Piggly Wiggly grocery store (2 minutes)
- Lake View Inn (2 minutes)
- Little Green public sandy beach (1 minute)
- The Landing - Bait, Tackle, & Boat Rental (2 minutes)

Other Things to Note

Little Green lake is 466 acres in size and is a multi-purpose sporting lake with enough space and depth (average depth of 10 feet and max depth of 28 feet) for skiing, tubing, or personal watercraft, and some of the best fishing in the State of Wisconsin on this Class A lake.

The lake is the southernmost Class A muskie lake in Wisconsin and provides for some of the best muskie, walleye, bass, and panfish fishing in the entire state. Wind tends not to be a big factor on this lake like on other comparable area lakes.

Tournaments are quite common on Little Green and it offers some of the best ice fishing around. Coupled with this quaint but spacious lake house, it is a fisherman's or boater's dream all year long...

Great spot on Little Green Lake
Clean, spacious, comfortable. Only a minor hiccup with the internet connection but we spent most of our time outside so it wasn't a big deal.

Our 1st Cabin Christmas
We had a wonderful Christmas experience. The cabin was very homey and well provisioned for making our Holiday meals. The views were beautiful. All the snow made it even more picturesque. We had an amazing, relaxing and peaceful time together. Met all our needs for space and comfort.

Beautiful fall get away
Home was very clean and well equipped. Owner was communicative leading up to our stay. Looking out the wall of windows at the lake was very peaceful. It is a bit out of the way for a lot of activities, but we enjoyed the time we were there.

Thumbs up to Cabin on Little Green Lake
This property was wonderful! For our group of 3 couples it had everything we would want and need. The home was spacious, beds comfy, kitchen very functional and outside space on the deck and in the yard was fun. We barbecued, cooked numerous meals, had camp fires, etc. The kitchen was VERY well stocked and there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't on the property. So glad we chose this property!!

Peaceful and quiet
The home was great. It was in a fairly quiet part of the lake and it had a nice backyard, fire pit and dock. We enjoyed the wild life, bird nests, baby raccoons, muskrats and hurons. it was very child friendly.

Little green lake
We had a wonderful holiday weekend with family at the lake house. It was extremely clean, very well organized and had all the amenities you need for a getaway. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. the bathrooms have plenty of linen and TP. We were 6 adults and had plenty of space to spread out. The dock is also a huge plus and the view is simply stunning. Lots of seating on the balcony as well as a fire pit with plenty of firewood to spend as much time as you can outdoors. Highly recommend this lake house and if we’re in the area again, we will definitely be back!

Cabin Weekend
This was the perfect weekend cabin for our fun group. The house met all of our needs and we had ample firewood for our mini fall festival. Corn hole toss, movies, games — and what a view! Our only issues were slow internet, which helped for an unplugged weekend, and the charred remnants in the oven set off the smoke detectors a couple of times. Otherwise, this was absolutely wonderful and we did not want to leave. Awesome stay, awesome host!

Beautiful view and spotless lake house
Everything about this lake house was lovely. The view was spectacular. Got some really nice sunset pictures. The place was spotless. You could tell they took pride in keeping this house very clean for their guests. They had everything you could possibly need. It was very comfortable and homey. The gas fireplace was a plus for me because I am allergic to the smoke from wood burning fireplaces. So this was perfect for me. Would definitely recommend.

Great weekend getaway
The cabin is nicely rustic on the outside, but very well updated on the inside. Beds were super comfy and the layout was perfect for our family group. Good dock to bring our small fishing boat to and pretty good access to the water considering surrounding areas had some pretty steep drops. Well stocked kitchen. Had everything we needed. Place was very clean and plenty of towels, toilet paper, etc.

Great Property for a Lake Getawauy
This was a great property. The house was very clean and furniture was all updated and current. The beds were also comfortable which was a nice surprise as that is usually the one of our biggest issues in a rental. In addition, there was a very nice large deck on the front of the house overlooking the lake and the yard to the lake was nice and flat and well-maintained. My husband and I (in our mid 50s) stayed with our 2 children who are in their late 20s, our daughter-in-law, and our one year old granddaughter. An unexpected bonus was having a very nice community park with a very nice small sandy beach almost right next door. That was really awesome with her granddaughter. And the lake was a great size - not too big and not too small. The lake was clean and the house gave us an amazing sunset view which I loved. We rented a pontoon from the rental place on the lake. It was affordable and a decent pontoon, but certainly not great. We have stayed on Big Green Lake in the past and rented a pontoon on big green lake and the big green lake rental option was superior. But that is not related to this VRBO rental property and it was still nice, and I was very thankful, to have the option to rent a pontoon. Thank you for sharing this property with our family.

Little Green is a perfect size for a nice day on the water and Brian’s home is a great setup. Beautiful view, fire pit right on the water and right next the Little Green food truck. Enjoyed the Friday fish fry there. Home is well stocked with near everything you need and we were out on the deck the whole time.
