Whether you are looking for a couple's retreat, space to make memories with family and friends, or a home base to explore attractions or attend local events, this property may suit your needs. Located on Bullhead Lake near Brillion, WI, this property offers a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of space to gather with family while still providing privacy as you sip your coffee, read your book, or catch a nap on the porch. The ranch home with a walkout lower level includes over 4000 square feet of space. The well-appointed, large kitchen is perfect for preparing that family meal. Inside, you can gather as a group or spread out a bit. Relax in the two family rooms, the 3-season room, or the 4-season room. Although the house is large, local regulations restrict the maximum number of overnight visitors.
The yard includes over 150 feet of lake frontage and 2 (sometimes 3) private docks. There is space to play catch, frisbee, cornhole toss, bocce ball (all included), or other yard games. It is also a great place to hang out by the fire.
Bullhead Lake is a 70-acre no-wake lake (no fast boating), making it good for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. Paddleboats (2), kayaks (3 or more), a canoe, a rowboat, and a paddleboard are included! The lakeshore bottom is muck, so any swimming needs to be done from the included swim raft. Water clarity, quality, plant growth, and algae levels vary unpredictably throughout the year. Those looking for sandy beaches and clear water could take a trip to Nashotah Beach (Lake Michigan) in Two Rivers, just over 30 minutes away.
Bullhead Lake is best known for largemouth bass and bluegill fishing, though you can also catch northern pike and a few other species. The public boat launch on Bullhead Lake is less than a 1/4 mile from the property. Those interested in waterskiing or tubing can bring their own boat and travel 4 miles to the neighboring Long Lake to enjoy these activities.
In winter, it is a great place to gather for family games, enjoy the frozen lake, or cross-country ski at the Ariens Nordic Center 4 miles up the road.
The location is less than 6 minutes from the Ariens Nordic Center and Round Lake Farms.
Up to 2 pets are welcome on the lower-level porch and/or in the lower-level common areas for an additional fee ($25/night for up to 2 pets). Guests must clean up after their pets and leash them when outside. Please do not bring pets without adding them to the reservation.
The property is located approximately 40 minutes from Lambeau Field (but you can avoid the major highways in getting there), 60 minutes from EAA Air Venture, 30 minutes from Road America in Elkhart Lake, 45 minutes to Kohler (golfing, etc.), and 5 minutes to the Ariens Nordic Center and Round Lake Farms near Brillion.
The following are included:
1. Firewood for the campfire pit, along with some camp cooking utensils.
2. Unlimited Starlink internet suitable for work or streaming on any of the 4 televisions. One television is Wi-Fi capable, and the other 3 require a streaming device.
The property has a doorbell camera and a security camera mounted to the front of the garage, both viewing the driveway. If guests prefer to keep them off during their stay, they can unplug the Wi-Fi module in the garage.
Small day gatherings (up to 20 people) are generally approved, as long as there is adherence to the overnight guest count.
Note that a couple of guest reviews mention a hot tub, but the house has no functional hot tub. We do not want anyone to expect one!
