🌲☀️Private Lakefront prop. With Kayaks And Paddleboard Boat Rental Optional☀️🌲

This PREMIER PROPERTY is called About Time, celebrate spending time together with your favorite people. Time is the best gift we can give one another. Sleeps 16 comfortably but could accommodate up to 20 if you want to sleep on couches. This 5 bedrooms (2 downstairs), 3 bath house on Lake Elizabeth, has a large yard for lawn games, private pier, basketball court, corn hole, LOTS of games and is surrounded by a gorgeous conservation area with 1.7 miles of hiking trails - true beauty!

For swimming, we recommend taking the boat to the sand bar on the south side of the lake or driving to Twin Lakes beach on Lake Mary 5 minutes north.

A gormet Chef is available if desired, otherwise, grill out back or down by the water, relax in the hammock or fish off the pier, whatever your fancy - swimming in this spring fed lake offers the best of the best. Bring your rafts and water toys. Only 1 bar/restaurant (Sand Bar) on the lake, so it is quieter and with 750 acres, perfect for water skiing and fishing. Catch the water ski show on Wednesday and Saturdays @ 6:00 during the Summer in Twin Lakes, WI.

We love to recommend out favorite Yoga instructor and massage therapist for the girls getaways and Twin Lakes Boat Rental for the boys boat fun.
They deliver directly to our dock.

Lake Geneva is 15 minutes away and worth the drive for a paddleboat tour. Alpine Valley is 12 minutes away, Wilmot ski hill is 7 minutes away, Six Flags and Gurnee Outlet Mall is 25 minutes away. It's About Time you enjoy the place as much as we do. Welcome!

No Smoking or prom parties, please. Majority of guests should be over the age of 25. We have a lot of love for this place and want our guests to feel the same and take care of it as it was their own!

Small reception parties are ok but we don’t have parking for weddings or groups over 50 people

Perfect for hosting a big family party and great space for a getaway! The host helped us with a boat rental and the house was well-stocked with towels and kitchen/bathroom essentials as well as water toys to use on the lake! We had a blast!

Quick family getaway

This was a solid place for a bit of a family reunion for a couple of days! The ac was a bit wonky (warm upstairs, while the downstairs was the Arctic), but it didn't deter from us enjoying ourselves. Loved the mulberry trees! We were able to dock our boat at the pier but couldn't load it there because the area was too shallow, so it was a 5-10 min walk down to a better area to board. Great yard, quiet neighborhood. Owner was responsive to questions.

Comfortable and Quiet Stay

The house felt like home, the yard was perfect. I imagined a summer baseball game. The neighborhood was close to plenty of activities, while being far enough away for peaceful quiet nights. Contact was easy, and accessible the whole stay. Would gladly stay again!

Nice spot

This was a beautiful property location with a lovely great room. The host is very responsive. There are truly 4 bedrooms and the others are spaces with beds in them which worked ok for us. Also the mater bathroom has a ‘curtain’ into the bathroom and not a door. Otherwise we enjoyed the view and the house.

Summer Trip

The property was exactly as described and Jeff was a great host. Space is great and plenty of room for our party to spread out. Bonus was location next to the Sand Bar as we were able to drop our boat there and in less than a minute be at the house where we were able to keep it.

Great house

We had a family crew of close to 20 people. We really enjoyed fishing off the pier, playing baseball in the big yard, kayaking out to the open lake, and just hanging out in the open kitchen/living room. Would recommend for big groups. Great host, quick responses.

Wonderful lake week with friends

This house was great for housing a large group of people. We had 7 adults and 8 kids and all slept well. Location was good, boat rental was easy. The listing online needs some updating as the check out time is 11 not 12, the wifi codes are incorrect in the listing etc. but all minor things, we would definitely stay again.

For a group of 12-14 with small children or 10-12 adults, this is a comfortable space with a large living room, a great view of the lake and dock access for boating. The area is nice with lot of small towns nearby and nice places to hike nearby

Wonderful location directly on the water. Well stocked and clean. Great location for quality family time. Peaceful in the winter I bet it’s even more fun in the summer. Sandbar marina and restaurant right down the lake and they will deliver a rental pontoon. We will go back in the summer. Hot tub was very nice.

Bad weather But good time

Weather at the lake is always unpredictable but my family and I had a great time despite some rain. The house offers an open floor plan to allow large group gatherings on the main floor. The lower level has several rooms and game areas. The decks on main and lower level offer great lake views and some privacy. The lawn is huge - great for wiffel ball, croquet, bocce ball. Great sunsets

Nice

The lakehouse super nice, owner communicated well, overall Good experience. A bit of feedback because the coffee machine was missing the pot so we had to go out to buy some. It was also a bit dusty. Check out was 11am and I received a text at 8:30am that cleaning crew was on the way so it felt rushed. Also, I would rather pay a cleaning fee (I understand garbage being taken out and cleaning up tables). Overall nice experience and owner did let us know jacuzzi was a bit stained from leaves so we didnt end up using.
