Relaxing Waterfront Home on Elm Island Great Fishing on Lake Tichigan/Fox River

Beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath home on Elm Island bay off of the Fox River in Waterford, WI. This home has all of the charm of an up-north cabin, but is fully updated and just a short 30 minute drive from Milwaukee and less than an hour from Chicago's northern suburbs. Single story home with little to no stairs required to get to the water less than twenty steps from the back door. Wood burning stove and tongue and groove pine finishes give you that up north feel, but all of the updates will make you feel right at home. Laundry on the living level and two full bathrooms offer convenience and comfort. Sleeping arrangements for 10 if needed: Master bedroom features a queen size memory foam bed, 2nd bedroom facing the water has a bunk bed with full size mattress on the bottom and a twin on the top, 3rd bedroom has a bunk bed with full size mattress on the bottom and a twin on the top, and living room couch pulls out into a queen size sleeper sofa. Kitchen table seating for six or seven people, with additional stools and eating area at the island. All kitchen appliances are less than 5 years old, including refrigerator, stove, and over the range microwave. Bring your fishing poles and swim trunks - the Fox River and Lake Tichigan are abundant with Largemouth Bass and Catfish, and provide plenty of opportunity for Bluegills, Northern Pike, Walleye, and an occasional Trout. Lake Tichigan is great for swimming or boating, and there are more than one restaurants accessible by boat and provide docking. Bring your own boat and keep it on the private pier or take advantage of the two complimentary kayaks. Elm Island bay is a shallow low-traffic bay off of the Fox River and is home to swans and abundant wildlife. Fishermen frequent the bay in search of Largemouth Bass, Bluegills, and Catfish, all of which can be caught right from the pier. Swimming in Elm Island Bay (off the pier) is not desirable due to shallow water, lillypads, weeds and mucky bottom. In the evening you can have a fire in the back yard or in the house, but the furnace will keep you warm if desired or central air is there to cool you down. Ultra-fast 60 Mbps Wi-Fi and 46" LED TV will keep you entertained if the fishing and lake cannot. YouTube TV HD with approximately 80 channels available and also HD upconvert DVD player. Please come relax and enjoy all that the beautiful Fox River and Lake Tichigan have to offer year-round.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and an LED TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while wireless internet access (surcharge) keeps you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

This rental was cozy and clean. We loved hanging outside on the back deck and in the yard the most, viewing the Fox River and nature. This area is nice, and kayaks are available to use in the river. Host Grant is wonderful, super easy to communicate with, and makes sure you will enjoy his home. He allowed our pet birds. He provides good amenities, incl. extras like wine and coffee pods. We enjoyed hiking Wehr Nature Center, Case Eagle Park & Boehrner Botanical Gardens. We cooked most meals at the cabin. We enjoyed our stay, and having Grant as our host.

It was a charming cabin on the lake. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. They were very welcoming to the fur baby, which was very appreciated. Communication from the owner was prompt and polite. Great stay overall! definitely going to keep this in mind for when I have more time to just enjoy the area. Great restaurants in the area as well.

This is our Home away from home. My family of 7 (including our pup) enjoy ourselves fully here. A lot of places aren't very welcoming of dogs and this has everything we needed. Fishing, open air, kayaks, indoor/outdoor fireplaces and the peace you need to reset your mind. Having 2 bathrooms, access to a washer/ dryer and a fullly equipped kitchen is an even bigger bonus. The neighborhood is so peaceful, friendly and not once did we feel unsafe. Grant is very kind and quick to respond to any questions we had. I highly recommend!!
