It was the perfect spot with a toddler. The house has everything you'll need for kids and the beach is perfect for little kids. It was clean, well stocked and a great getaway
We had a group of adults and an 18 month old and everything was perfect. The property and house were clean, the house was stocked with everything we would need, plenty of kid toys and excellent communication with the host the whole time! Couldn't recommend this property enough!
We loved staying here! The house was clean, comfortable and modern and had everything we needed. The lake is perfect for kids - there's a sandy beach and large shallow area in which to wade. We also appreciate that there were plenty of things for kids to play with including a bunch of games and toys. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time enjoying some down time on the lake. The yard and small beach is perfect and the house had tons of amenities. Check In and Out was super easy!
We had an excellent stay. Lake was great for kids! Home is well-appointed and clean. Hosts are very responsive and helpful. Of note, there was a crib set up for our baby and other items like a high chair and many books/toys that made our stay very easy!
This home is so beautiful we wished that we couldโve extended our stay! It was immaculate when we arrived and we had a great time using the provided lake amenities! The lake itself was gorgeous as was the surrounding neighborhood. Weโre looking forward to coming back next year!
This home was perfect for us. The lake was shallow enough that the young ones could be in the water and the big kids loved the jayaks and oaddke boards. It couldn't have been better.
We had so much fun! There was a lot to do and we were able to stay busy the whole time at the place. The water was perfect for everyone. We had access to kayaks, paddle boat, life jackets, beach toys, bikes, kids toys, and so much more!
Nicely appointed, beautiful home and location, comfortable. Perfect for our family, particularly for our 6 m. old grand baby. The crib, high chair, washing machine made our stay so easy. We hope to have an opportunity to stay there on our next family visit.
This property is amazing. House is beautiful and nicely laid out with many extras. The outdoors is paradise with a beach, many water toys, patio furniture, and fire pit. Hosts respond immediately to any questions. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!
We were looking for someplace quiet while traveling for a funeral. This was so nice. Spacious, clean, and comfortable! Excellent communication with George. Thank you!
The property was the absolute perfect location and accommodations for our group of women who gather once a year to relax, swim, float, and enjoy โgirlโ time. Everything we needed at our finger tips. The host was responsive when needed very thoughtful about the needs of those staying at the property for all ages. We are hoping to return next year!
We loved our stay here. We wanted a quiet place to stay for an extended weekend and this was the perfect spot. My kids loved the pier, the kayaks, and the bikes. I loved the giant couch and the view! The pictures didn't show off how amazing this house really is so when I walked in I literally said "Wow!". The house had everything you could possibly need. Thank you for letting us stay at your property. We will definitely be back again.
We had a lovely time at George and Angie's place. They have a beautiful house on Pretty Lake. This is one of those rare cases in which the reality was even better than the photos! The kids especially loved taking the kayaks out on the lake. Highly recommended if you're visiting the Milwaukee area. Thanks for sharing your house with us, George and Angie.
We had a wonderful stay at this lake house. The amount of toys/games/lake essentails/bikes this house was equipped with blew us away. The kids were never bored. The water was warm and 2-3ft for most of the pier area which was perfect for our 3-5year age group. House was very clean and host were greay with communication. We will definitely book again!
We had a WONDERFUL experience at this property! We traveled with 2 children (4 and 2) and this home had everything you could ask for. We didn't have to worry about renting any baby gear. The house was also stocked with a BUNCH of books, toys, and games, so there was never a lack of activities.
The lake itself was great - especially for kids. It was no deeper than approx 2 feet for yards and yards, so the kids could play safely.
We would book this house again in a heartbeat!
A Lovely Home in a Beautiful Wisconsin Lake Setting
Four generations together -- eight of us with an age range from 1 to 86. Everyone enjoyed this lovely home, and found it comfortable when awake, and while sleeping. The number of nice toys and books and games for children, and the water toys and bicycles and balls were all a hit and helped to keep the young ones entertained.
Pretty Lake is aptly named, and the exterior sitting areas, beach, etc. were enjoyed.
The great grandparents in our party owned a lake property similar to this one for many years, so our event felt even more intimate -- not a sense that could be experienced at a hotel.
We highly enjoyed this property and appreciated the owners for making such a lovely place available for family enjoyment.
We couldnโt be happier with our experience at this rental propertyโฆ This place is amazing. The second you get there you know why they call it โPretty Lakeโ The house and property are gorgeous. Beautifully furnished and the overall decor is just right for such a cute lakefront property. The house is also fully equipped with everything and anything โฆ every dish, utensil, pot, pan, coffee maker, tea kettle, dishwasher, washer/dryerโฆ literally everything youโll need and then some. Air conditioned, amazing views through the huge lakeside windowsโฆ the beds are super comfyโฆ wifiโฆ Netflixโฆthereโs even a piano! Just show up and enjoyโฆ oh and the lake is also just perfect, it has a soft sandy bottom everywhere, not even one rock, seriously itโs perfectโฆ the water is shallow and super warm, and completely crystal clear. The private beach and shallow water is perfect if you have little onesโฆ Honestly, this place is everything youโre looking forโฆdo yourself a favour and just go ahead and book it.
We had a great time at Pretty Lake. The house was spacious, clean, and well stocked. The kids loved all the outdoor toys to play with. The beach had soft sand and was shallow enought for our younger kids to really enjoy it. Paddleboards and kayaks were great. Would stay here again!
