Wonderful Place, Gracious Host

This is a gem of a house at the edge of Beaver Dam Lake. My family stayed there as we gathered for my father's funeral. It was welcoming and well stocked, with a variety of spaces for both getting together and being alone. Doug was very gracious and responsive. Thank you, Doug! Highly recommended.

Gatsby Getaway

Had a wonderful weekend in a beautiful home! Check in and check out couldn’t have been easier. Enjoyed the kayaks and the campfires were awesome but the best part was just relaxing on the deck watching the beautiful views. We had perfect weather and it was so nice to spend time with my family in a very cool house. Five stars!

We stepped back in time!

Each space in this historic home is as unique as it is cozy. There are beautiful pieces of the past- the hardwood floors, ornate stair rails and original doorknobs, yet, the kitchen and bathrooms are beautifully updated with new fixtures and appliances. It’s beautifully decorated! We kayaked on the lake and loved seeing the different homes on the waterfront. There is a cool electronic game board in the living room which was really a hit. We all loved toasting marshmallows and making S’more’s around the fire pit. We’re all looking forward to returning to this wonderful little getaway!

Unique house, great for large group

We enjoyed our stay and found the house very unique. Very quiet area and great view of the lake. Few issues but the host helped us out with that. Overall would stay here again. If I may add, a hot tub would be an amazing addition to the property. Markers on stairs leading down deck as well which I believe has been added. More comfortable chairs by the fire pit would also be a nice addition. Overall great location close to store, restaurants and bars! Host was amazing during our stay and even provided a small cake for my dad’s 70th birthday. One thing to note is that this is not a swimming lake unfortunately, it’s murky and best for fishing. We did kayak which was great as the lake is super calm and huge. Life vests were provided! We also rented a pontoon boat which was very relaxing!
