About this property

**Lakefront** Open Concept Gem

  • Wamplers Lake is an all-sport but peaceful lake in Irish Hills, popular for year-round fishing and host of the annual Midwest Open Ice Fishing Tournament.

    Our lakefront property includes backyard, front yard with patio and electric awning, plus an additional front lawn and seawall right up to the water's edge.

    Lakeshore Drive is a quiet private road with more pedestrians than vehicles. Morning walkers, joggers, and cyclists enjoy the beautiful views and peace and quiet of Lakeshore Drive.

    Our lake home has a bedroom and full bathroom on the main level, plus two additional bedrooms and a half bath upstairs (see below for bed sizes). The main level has a large open-concept great room that includes a fully stocked kitchen, living room, dining room, and laundry. Just off the living room is a heated four-seasons room with beautiful views of the lake. Window air conditioning units are located throughout the home.

    Home has a long private driveway with both front and back doors for your convenience. Maximum 4 vehicles.

    Please note that 100% of the cleaning fee goes directly to the cleaner.

    MAIN LEVEL BEDROOM: Queen bed
    UPSTAIRS BEDROOM 1: Bunk bed with one full and one twin
    UPSTAIRS BEDROOM 2: Queen bed

    ***WINTER GUESTS: First floor has central gas heat, which covers the master bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, main bathroom, and sunroom.

The Fun House

We had such a great time, we nicknamed this property “The Fun House!” The location is fantastic, the lake is beautiful, and the accommodations are top notch. If you enjoy just hanging out by the water and relaxing, this is the place. If you enjoy water sports and activity, this is the place. Something for everyone, for sure!
