Lake Wawasee waterfront home overlooking Johnson's Bay. New Renovations for 2024

New renovations for 2024 are completed. New flooring and freshly painted. This home overlooks the Johnson Bay portion of Lake Wawasee perfect for water skiing. It is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac offering privacy and parking. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths and an open kitchen and living room area with a view of the bay. The master bedroom has a queen size bed. The second bedroom has a queen size bed as well. The third bedroom has two triple bunk beds. It has a patio, washer/dryer and an outside grill. This year-round home sleeps 10 (new 2021) and is fully furnished. The property includes ninety feet of pier available for guest boats. Walk right outside to the piers - no stairs up and down from the water. A great location for a vacation on the lake. Bring your own Kayak and enter the bay from our pier. If you need a boat, make your boat rentals early with one of the local companies as they tend to run out quickly. We offer discounts for monthly or extended stays. We also honor some two-day rentals.

Girls time together.
The house was perfect for our group. Nice kitchen and living space to gather in the evening to visit. Loved sitting on the patio by the water to play games and socialize, boats going back-and-forth to the lake very nice. Maybe a 15 minute drive to restaurants and shopping. The manager, Brian was always quick to answer any questions or resolve any issues. We all enjoyed our stay.

Not a good stay
15+ years of our YaYa sister trip and the accommodations were so much less than satisfactory. It's just business when you expect cleanliness when you open your home to others. The statement Please no shoes in the house was a joke...the carpet appeared to be spotted with dirt and an area of what appeared to be mouse feces. It was very disturbing that there were no blinds on the one portion of the living area and kitchen to the front. I did not sleep under the quilt and neither did two of my other sisters...I always travel with a sleeping bag and blanket....the other sister who folded her quilt on the bottom of her bed..discovered a disturbing stain on the underside..appeared to be old blood..perhaps something else. One evening we played our own game at the kitchen table and the lighting was very poor. I will submit, by email to the owner, some pictures of what we felt was not any businesses acceptable practice. Please feel free to contact me and any of my family to attest to our feedback. We loved the location...but felt uneasy touching anything in the home. Thought you needed some true feedback.

Great Property with water access
Extended family week the kids/spouse and grandkids. Focus was boating and water activities. The house does have some age as stated in other reviews but the property was clean and comfortable for our needs. House sets 30ft off of a protected channel with plenty of dock space for the boat. This made it extremely convenient for loading/unloading. Brian was great with his communication and knowledge of the area. There are a number of great bars/restaurants close to the property either by boat or car. We would stay again!

Dry and wet
When we checked in the well was not working so we had no water pressure, the temporary fix was to run a hose from the neighbors house to the rental house, which ended up being the case for all 5 days, water pressure remained low for the entire stay. Also arrived to find a note that stated remote for tv was lost and a new one would arrive in 2-3 days. A leak was found under the sink in the main bathroom when a large cup someone left to catch the water filled up and began to over flow, also lasted during the entire stay. There were no towels, beach or bath, as advertised. The owner promptly responded to all calls and texts, but believe he was trying to make the fixes in abstentia from a long distance.

Great location - and property manager
Brian was very helpful and communicated every step well. Appreciated his thoroughness. Property was a paddle board away from Johnson Bay. Perfect if you have a boat, paddle board and/or kayaks. Our kids were able to swim in the channel while being mindful of passing boats. Calm area compared to main lake body. And there is a loop around channel you can take via paddle board or kayak while avoiding the rocky main lake waters.

House was cute. 2nd bathroom not great, beds uncomfortable, lighting was bad and needs updated!! I think there is a problem with the umbrella stand if you have sand in it, as everyone's feet were getting bit up, when sitting at the outdoor table. Great access to the lake.

Could have been better
We basically enjoyed our stay at this property, however there were many things that fell quite short of expectation. Upon arriving the combination did not work to get in. The lock was seized up. We were finally able to get in and the place appeared clean however, did not smell very clean. There are many things about the place that needed attention. There was a closet door leaning against the wall needing to be rehung, the bathroom door stuck every time. They did not provide towels for the showers. The furniture was quite old and the beds were uncomfortable. During our first day of stay the owner contacted us and asked us to fix the lock as well as take out the trash cans to the curb. The owner was aware of these things prior to our visit. Considering the price it is listed for I feel they fell short of what anyone would expect for the price.

Always a breeze here. Excellent location on the lake, near the calmest bay. Sunrise in the morning but protected from the heat of the afternoon. Fully stocked kitchen, great grill to use. At the mouth of a clean channel, so we were able to cool off in the water in front of the cabin. Owner was very responsive. Would love to stay here again!

Good location
The location is key for this rental. Lake view with quick access to the lake by boat. An abundance of channel front to park 1-2 boats. The channel is suitable for swimming (not too busy or weedy). Good sized yard for playing yard games. The house is roomy with good-sized bedrooms. House is quite outdated though (think 1980s), main bathroom door requires significant force to get it to shut. If some updating would be done we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, but at these rates there are nicer homes on the lake to choose from.

Don't forget to rent a boat!
We enjoyed our stay but there were no boats left to rent at any of the marinas. Never really got to see the lake. The listing said there were bikes available but they were locked up. Brian explained to us that a previous guest had damaged one. We found the beds rather uncomfortable in the two rooms with the single over double bunks and one of them squeaked quite loudly any time you moved. We are older adults... they may be fine for younger families. Remember to reserve a boat and bring your own bikes and you'll have a great time.
