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.

Relaxing Decompressing Getaway
Needed to have some relaxing time away with family that wasn't far from home. Wanted to be on the water to fish. Caught 2 large bass (released) and one elusive Large Northern that broke three lines. The guys loved the fight. Never know we maybe back to meet you again Big Guy! Although if was November, rained and was cold which is to be expected, we enjoyed our time in the warm house. Neighborhood was pretty quite as well. Thanks for letting us stay with our dogs.

Beautiful spot on the water!
Loved this cute little house on the water for a little family getaway. The view and backyard are the real highlights of the place. Perfect to hang out and let the dog run free in, and very peaceful and beautiful. The house itself was perfectly fine — not necessarily luxury, but perfectly comfortable with everything we needed. We would absolutely come back.

Great getaway
Hose is modern yet quaint, very homey feeling. Backyard is perfect for a fire and just chilling out. The fact that you have 2 kayaks to use is awesome if you’re going as a couples getaway. Fishing is pretty solid, even off the pier. If you take your rod in the kayak and get out on the lake it’s bass heaven.i can find only one suggestion and that would be to have the stairs going down to the pier with either running lights or maybe pain the board closet to the actual step a litt darker bc as soon as the sun starts going down it’s a hazard if you’re not paying close attention, I tripped several times and so did the person I was with. I do have bad eyes so does she but it’s just a thought and if I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would. Btw the kitchen is rockin

Close getaway
This place is close to everything you may need on vacation, ie grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, but gives you the feel that you are in the country. The house was very clean, and well equipped for cooking in or grilling out. This was my second time renting this place and I would highly recommend it to others.

We had a wonderful time and Grant was a great host! He answered the emails to the questions we had in a timely fashion. We fished everyday, caught about 10 to 15 pan fish, even though it was like fishing in a tornado but it was fun. The house was clean, and had everything we needed. We decided not to take our little dogs with, but Grant had a great fenced in space for them. Thanks Grant and hope to be back soon! Leta and Barb

The house was cozy and very comfortable. They have tons of extras such as games, puzzles, just about anything you would probably forget to bring!
