ADVENTURES AWAIT! PRIVATE SAND BEACH WITH PIER! Sleep steps from your own private sandy beach, where you will be ready to tackle a full day of lake life adventure. Launching personal or rented watercraft is a cinch with a public boat launch nearby, and the properties private beach with pier provide you top notch access to the lake.

Powers Lake offers clear water and a popular sandbar in the middle where locals and visitors gather daily to relax. If the sandbar is not your style, stop by the Rock Bar II for food, drink and entertainment!

The property was exactly what we were looking for with plenty of space, entertainment, comfortable rooms, a great kitchen for big groups, and a great location. Communication with the host was always fast and easy and my party would definitely book this property again in the future!
The host was very helpful and gave me all of the information about my stay way ahead of time! The house was perfect for a big group and in such a nice location. The water front view was very pretty
We all really enjoyed our stay! The location was just perfect. We played games, my grandson fished off the dock, drove into Lake Geneva and shopped. The kids say we need to come back every year!
We had a large family gathering and Katie was very welcoming. Her communication was very fast with responses to all our questions. The home was very clean and the beds were all new and had great mattresses. There was a ping pong table, foosball table and many games for the kids to enjoy. There is a large table for all the family to sit around to eat and play games. We enjoyed the views of the lake. This is a home we would return too.
Hosts went above and beyond to accommodate my senior mother with a private bed on main level. They were also accommodating on other requests that I had. It was such a fun, nostalgic place. It was all exactly how I remembered the Old Mill to be and the private beach made for some additional family time. I see a wonderful future for this getaway place!!
Honestly everything was amazing. The cleanliness, space, games and even the house itself. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay here.
Had a great time staying with my larger group of 12. Kitchen was plenty large enough for us all to each at. Location is 15 mins away from Lake Geneva and close to Walmart/other helpful stores. Would definitely stay again.
Worked out great for holiday get-together with our adult children. Appreciate the pet option as well. Nicely designed for group dinners and games. Good location for activities -- winter hiking/walking, Yerkes Observatory, and lots of restaurants.Well supplied with kitchen and bath needs.
Beautiful, spacious stay. Loved having a deck and grill to sit outside and eat family meals. There were a lot of fish on the beach when we got there but was cleaned up the second day we were there. Would highly recommend!
It was a commercial space previously (THERE IS A BAR!!) so the layout is unusual, but it is spacious. The deck is great and the parking is easy. Also... plenty of beds and linens. It is super clean too.
We had a great stay!
We loved our stay at the Old Mill. There was so much room! Plenty of clean and updated bedrooms and bathrooms. Loved the bar area and large kitchen. The view of the lake was very nice from the first floor and great from the main bedroom. We can’t wait to come back.
We needed a place for our extended family to gather for the holidays. This was the perfect spot between Madison, Milwaukee, and Chicago! Plus there was a ton of space to spread out when needed. We have 2 small kids, and having a room with 3 beds and a small living area (tv, couch) came in really handy when they woke up before the rest of the family! Would definitely stay again - and imagine this place is magical in the summer with the beach right across the road!!!
This was our first family vacation in ages. 8 of us total plus dogs. The house and location were perfect for our group. Katie was fantastic to work with. We're already planning on going back as soon as we can.
The lake house was perfect for our annual family weekend. Lots of space and sleeping arrangements let everyone spread out. The main floor has great open spaces to play games and relax. We had great weather to take advantage of the outside area, loved the large deck and seating by the lake. Would highly recommend to any larger groups!
Great convenient location (an hour away) for our family vacation over the 4th of July. Enjoyed this spacious accommodation, which was clean, well-stocked with all the essentials, plus wonderfully comfortable beds. We enjoyed the private beach & fire pit just across the not too busy road & were able to rent a pontoon boat & tour beautiful Powers Lake. An unexpected bonus was the lengthy fireworks display along the lake. Spectacular! Would definitely return for another visit.
Cool place but the outside is not the safest for young kids
The history of the place was amazing, I wish I could learn more. Cool setup and space, spacious for lots of people. The private beach was nice for a camp fire at night and convenient for docking our jet skis. The yard space is small and there is a Main Street between the house and private beach that is busier than we expected so it kept me on high alert with our younger kids and dog.
This home is so close to the public launch that it was so convenient to launch and load. They have a dock for your boat as well, we had to charge batteries only reason we pulled it at night. The home itself was unique experience in my opinion. Simply loved it and so did my kids. They allowed pets which was the added bonus. The communication with the host was super quick and personable as well. 100% recommend. We will be back for sure.
Wanted to come back for our son’s graduation and have a family get together. 6-7 people coming from out of town needed lodging. Plenty of space to host the group and more for a cookout with others. Spacious first floor with bar was great. Large back deck provided extra space outside. Grill was large enough to cook for a big crowd. Kitchen was well appointed. Upstairs bedrooms were comfortable and there was enough space for sleepovers if people had a long drive home and wanted to stay late. We didn’t use the beachfront because it’s early spring but the dock was great. Plenty of room for parking. Would definitely stay again.
Our stay at Old Mill was just what we needed. The house is very spacious & all bedrooms are upstairs. Our group included kids from under a year to seven years old. Having the beach right across the street was fabulous. The kids swam & fished while the babies napped. The home had every kitchen supply you might need & a 2nd fridge in the large laundry room. There are a phone chargers at several locations in the home which was so handy. The foosball table provided the whole family with some light hearted competition in the evening.
We opted not to drop our pontoon boat into Powers Lake because the house is only 50 yards from the launch & the heavy traffic would have left the boat banging off the dock.
Our stay was a perfect way to wrap up a very busy summer.
