Yes, everything was fine. The gas grill worked great, the deck is nice. The lake is close and the boat landing worked for our tandem kayak and we enjoyed the beautiful lake.

Relaxing Getaway

Our stay here was extremely comfortable. We especially enjoyed the spacious and convenient long deck at the front of the house and used it for all our meals, which we prepared daily in the very spacious and well-equipped kitchen. Our communication with the host both before and during our stay, was prompt, friendly and helpful.Would definitely stay here again if needng to be in Whitewater.

Beautiful house by Whitewater Lake

Beautiful and newly remodeled home across the street from Whitewater Lake. Everything was very comfortable and they had everything you needed. The porch was nice although cruddy weather didn’t allow us to spend much time on it. We had a minor problem with air conditioning but communicating with the host was easy and it was fixed right away.

Whitewater Lake Oasis

Fantastic location, Larry was really responsive to messages. Would have been better if the weather would have cooperated for the Saturday night concert at Alpine Valley. This Oasis on the lake will be on our radar for a return trip!

Excellent Stay

The host, Larry, was very responsive to messages before, during, and after our stay. The home was very clean and we appreciated how well-stocked the kitchen was with dishes, glassware, and cooking utensils. We also enjoyed using the two kayaks that are available for guests and had a nice paddle on Whitewater Lake. The lake is calm and great for kayaking. The front yard is perfect for playing yard games too. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely return in future. Thank you for everything, Larry!

Really nicely furnished and equipped cottage. Especially enjoyed bike rides around the lake, walks on Lakeshore drive, having a nice gas grill that fired up easily and bbq dinners on the deck. Owner messaged me almost everyday to check to make sure everything was ok and even brought clean towels by late in the week. Would definitely stay there again.

Short Weekend Getaway

Larry is a wonderful host! He allowed us early entry to his place; he checks in with ideas for dining etc. Larry just really wants his guests to enjoy their stay. He has all the local info in a book to make it convenient; he is always available for any questions that you may have. Great guy! The house is newly remodeled with comfy beds, nice sheets, linens, the kitchen is well stocked, etc. The house is close to the "downtown" area, very close to kettle moraine trails (super close by), the lake is close by to drop in kayaks, and a very safe, welcoming neighborhood. Thanks Larry; we enjoyed our stay!

From check in to check out, we couldn’t ask for anything more. Beautiful property and a beautiful area. We loved this spot! Our hosts had everything prepared so well for us when we got there and they went above and beyond to ensure we had what we needed during our stay. As a family coming to the Whitewater Lake area for the first time it was so greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend others to stay here. You’ll love it!

Had a fun time for our anniversary! Can't wait to come back! Super clean, inviting atmosphere inside and out, exactly as listed. So nicely decorated. Owner Larry is always helpful and friendly. House has nice lighting and lots of windows for sunlight. Comfy furniture and beds, and we all loved the shower area, and fireplace. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of extras. The porch has very fun lights, and there is a cozy fire pit area.out front. You can see the lake, to the left, through the homes across the street, and the bonus is good fishing! Hope to return soon. Thank you Larry. Ada and John
