Lakeside Cottage with Inspiring Views! Master Bedroom & Lakeside Decks!

My wife and I spent years searching for the perfect lakeside cottage that embodied more than just a home, but exuded a certain lakeside character. The Windhouse is a 2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom, newly renovated lakeside cottage that fits that to a T!

WHAT MAKES THE WINDHOUSE SO SPECIAL?
With luxe furnishings throughout ranging from bedding to sofa, mattresses to dishware, you will be met with fresh awakenings at every turn while at your lakeside retreat. Everything has been cultivated with thoughtful input in order to provide our guests the most inclusive lakeside beachy experience. From its charming tongue and groove ceiling to its beaded paneled walls, you'll feel right where you were meant to be. The lakeside deck is one of our favorite spots on the property as it offers inspiring south facing views of the lake. Capitalizing on our southern exposure, you are able to experience the best sunrise and sunset views. Waking up in your upstairs king size bed, you'll be able to lie there while enjoying unobstructed expansive views of the lake. There is also another balcony off the master bedroom giving you another perspective to enjoy. With a flat yard leading right up to the waters edge you'll be able to step right into the lake from your private water frontage. We also have a dock and boatlift available for use, so feel free to bring along the water toys!

WHAT MAKES OUR BEDROOMS SO INVITING?
With the utmost comfort in mind, we opted to upgrade to brand new beds and mattresses throughout all rooms. And then we thought, "who wants to sleep on a small bed?" So we put a king size bed in the master bedroom and a queen size bed in the second bedroom. Taking it a step further and for the most convenience for everyone possible we also put up 2 bunk beds!

WHAT IS THERE TO DO?
The main reason we feel anyone would choose our cottage is to have the most genuine lakeside cottage experience. From the magazine quality style and furnishings, to the soaring lake views, to your private lake frontage the possibilities are endless. We are happy to be able to provide our guests with complimentary use of 2 kayaks, so if you're not able to bring your own boat, you'll still be able to get out and enjoy the water. If the weather doesn't fully cooperate, snuggle up in front of the wall-mounted tv and enjoy a movie on Netflix. We also have board games and decks of cards for those looking for something else. The cottage has WIFI connectivity for those needing to "stay connected." For those looking to get off property to enjoy a night out, our little lakeside cottage has its own neighborhood tavern; only a 4 minute walk offering a full dining menu and adult beverages.

THE WINDHOUSE LAKESIDE EXPERIENCE
We have worked extremely hard to cultivate an experience that emulates everything we find so very special about lake living. We hope you are able to settle in to the lake lifestyle we think everyone so greatly deserves to experience, and if there is anything we can do to make your experience even more enjoyable we are always available.

The house wasn't as clean as I would have liked but I am also I'm very particular. The owner was available for an issue we had and was extremely helpful and kind. I would stay there again.

Lake Charmer
The cottage is a bit of a throwback to simple lake life. We slowed down. We played. We loved the views from every level. The lake and kayaks gave us the right amount of summer vacation and laughs. Sweet master bedroom and deck. Deck off kitchen was just perfect for early morning coffee and late afternoon glass of wine. Easy to use TV with apps and AC worked well so we were cool even on the hottest day. Thanks for sharing this gem.

Perfect spot
This home was just perfect-close and convenient enough to downtown, yet far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. The beds were comfy and the water softener was a nice change from hotel hard water. There are a few local restaurants in the area and addtl shopping just a few miles away. While The owners were reachable if needed, there was nothing amiss or needed. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great Lake House!
My husband and I stayed for three nights with family for a local wedding. The cottage is quaint, clean, and comfortable. The location is awesome, and the view of the lake is beautiful. Unfortunately, we did not have time to use the kayaks, but it would have been a blast! Would definitely stay here again.

It was fine.
I was kind of expecting a little more of a “wow”. Obviously the angle and lighting make a difference when taking pictures. There was nothing specific wrong, just well used.

Beautiful location
We had a wonderful time during our stay at Wind Lake with our two dogs! The backyard was perfect for them to run and play. We enjoyed fishing and kayaking as the weather was perfect for us to spend our days outside! We ventured to downtown Milwaukee one day which was just a short car ride away. We enjoyed dinner and drinks on the deck each night with the beautiful view of the lake!

Great spot on the lake!
Enjoyed a family getaway on Wind Lake! The property provided plenty of space for our family of 5 and our lab, who loved jumping off the dock. Were grateful to be able to easily dock our pontoon rental at the property.
