Photos and Description of this Elkhorn holiday house 5 bedrooms plus bunkbed loft for 10 children (sleeps 20 total), 4 full bath

Not far from Lake Geneva, our spacious and comfy house is prominently situated on spring-fed Lauderdale Lakes in Elkhorn, WI, just bursting with knick knacks and activities. It's the perfect place for family reunions, weekends away with friends and children, golf foursomes, girls' get-away weekends, etc. Everyone can stay under the same roof instead of in different hotel rooms, waking up together to enjoy all the comforts of home. You're welcome to use anything that's out, from my mom's home-thrown pottery, to the abundant collections of books, movies, games and toys--for all ages (motorized vehicles excluded for insurance purposes). Adults can avoid drinking and driving by singing karaoke in the tavern downstairs while the kids play in the nearby rec rooms. Or borrow our canoe and paddleboats (and life jackets) and go out on the lake. Truly, plenty to do for all ages in all kinds of weather. Sleeps 10 adults and 10 kids comfortably, with a triple bunk area for cousins and friends.

Enjoy a panoramic view of the lake from our private point, 900 ft of shoreline on 2 acres. Secluded, but an easy drive to groceries, restaurants, outings. Local highlights: Old World Wisconsin (a living museum; experience life in the pioneer days), Kettle Moraine Trails for hiking, biking and x-country skiing; downhill skiing and outdoor concerts at Alpine Valley, water park, shows and dining at The Grand Geneva Resort--all within 15- 20 minutes. Marina on the lake for rentals--or bring your own boat to the public launch. Plenty to do, indoors and out. Build a sandcastle on our little beach, play driveway tennis or get out the sidewalk chalk, or enjoy a game of Scrabble in front of a roaring fire. Equipped for everyone from babies to grandparents. Our house is not a typical stark rental, but is chock full of what makes it our slice of heaven--knick knacks, games, toys. Slide our clothes to the side to make room in the closets for an extended stay, and make yourselves at home!

Notes: We ask that smoking only take place in the Tavern (downstairs) for the safety of the home and the comfort of future guests (not to mention our own family!) The house is not equipped with wireless (a little too rural to get signals), but the library in town has free internet access. Besides, don't you want to leave your computers at home when you're on vacation with the gang? The kitchen area is wide with a long peninsula, which seats 12, and just on the other side of the island is a dining room table which seats another dozen. This should cover it! Feel like sneaking an extra dessert without getting caught? Just slip into the sunporch or out onto the deck, and a whole new world opens up. Small beach area by the water. Children can play with the sand toys (from boat house), supervised by adults from the plastic Adirondack chairs. The water is swimmable, but not very deep and the bottom is mushy, so borrow our aqua socks or take the paddle boat onto the lake and jump overboard.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Elkhorn, USA

Escape to Wisconsin!: Truly a home away from home, our house has that lived-in feel because it IS lived in by us, as often as possible. But when we're not using it, we hope you'll love, appreciate and care for it just like we do. Perfect for larger groups: Family reunions, College reunions (no recent grads, please!), girls' getaway weekends, golf groups, extended family get-togethers that nobody wants to host--you name it! It's easy to maximize valuable time together when you're all under one roof. Doing the dishes is more fun at someone else's house, right? We assume groups staying here share our love of the family setting and will embrace the home-like atmosphere while putting up with our personal belongings. This is not The Hilton! It's neutral territory but with all the comforts of home. You have the run of an entire well-stocked house instead of trying to squeeze into various hotel suites for Happy Hour or family game time. There's plenty for all ages to do without ever leaving the premises!

Easy access!: Drive up from Chicagoland, hop over from Milwaukee or Madison, or fly into either O'hare or Milwaukee and head straight there. Use Mapquest or our map. We haven't had anyone get lost yet (except for my brother-in-law years ago, and we're still looking for him).

Activities galore!: All ages, all weather, there really is something for everyone. 3 gas fireplaces keep the place toasty for marshmallow roasting. A/C takes the edge off in the sultry months. Towels and linens are on-site so you don't have to lug them along. Feel free to use our coolers for beach play or paddle boat rides, take advantage of local activities, or just hang around the house and relax. Driveway tennis gives you an activity right outside the garage door, and there are scooters and toys to keep the little ones occupied when you're sweating through a tie-breaker. Not quite ready to settle down after dinner? Put in a good movie for the kids (and grandma) while the adults head down to the Tavern on the lower level. Sit at the bar (someone can play bartender; don't forget to BYOB), or grab the mike and commandeer the karaoke machine. Play darts, cards, or the piano, have a few pops, and then all you have to do is find your bedroom before someone else steals it.

Other Activities: Karaoke! Speedboat rentals available. Laundry facilities on-site.

Everything you need in one vacation home

Review Submitted: September 6, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My group absolutely loved this vacation home. The owners were a pleasure to work with and were very accommodating. This home is well stocked with everything one could need and more-Don't forget the sleep nmber bed in the master bedroom. The lake was beautiful, but not terrific for swimming due to its weeds and plant life. I would definately recommend this property to friends and hope to visit again next year.

THANKSGIVING 2008

thanksgiving for our family Westchester, il
Review Submitted: December 2, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
This entire experience has been nothing but impressive, from communicating with the owner, arriving at this beautiful home, the children so excited to run through the house to see where they will be sleeping, memories of Thanksgiving dinner, sledding, playing ping pong, playing board games, walking from room to room to look at pictures and decorations, building fires, watching movies. I don't think there was one dull moment for anyone and we range from 2 to 85 years old. This house has everything you could want and from the moment you open up the door you feel like you are home, the house embraces you and you walk around and view pictures of when others stayed at the house and you become part of a bigger experience. The owners ( Chris and Roger ) are two of the most friendliest and accomodating people I know, you get the sense of total family when you work with them. We can't thank them enough for opening up thier home to us and allowing us to make our own memories. We have rented a home for the past 4 Thanksgivings always a different place, the children have already said they want to come back. We will be forever grateful for Thanksgiving 2008.
