Our family of 12 ranging in ages from 73 to 6 months had a wonderful time. It was a great house and very nice lake. Jim was a very attentive and considerate host. The description listed 2 bunk beds in one room, but even tho there was only one plus a twin, we managed.

Clean and very spacious house! Lake is conveniently close to the house which was so nice. We enjoyed the king size beds and amazing views out of the rooms. Jim was very responsive the entire trip, too which I really appreciated. Fishing and swimming off the dock was so fun. The lake is nice and shallow which was great for kids!

Above & Beyond
This was our 2nd stay at this beautiful location, and our family was so excited for our Yearly Family Vacay. Due to a family emergency we needed to change our dates. Jim went above and beyond, what one would expect from a host. Not only did he allow us the time we needed to regroup, he checked in with me often to make sure our family was doing ok. What could have been a miserable time was diverted and our grandkids have great memories. The home is absolutely wonderful, the neighborhood was safe and friendly. Most importantly our grandkids, ages 3 to 15 had a phenomenal time, swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Even when our 5 year old grandson, fell off the pier the water is shallow enough that he was safe. Our family would highly recommend this location. Plenty of Mother nature surrounding you, swans, ducks, ducklings, herring, fish, frogs, and the usual creatures. The house was comfortable and there are plenty of stores close by for any needed supplies. Thanks Jim for your kindness, we look forward to spending time at Wind lake again.

Great location - Super clean
The house is in a great location, it was winter so we didn't get to use the outdoor facilities. We had a few move-in issues, but the host was extremely responsive and fixed all issues on our move-in date. Everything was spotless. The home is a little date and could use some updating. The furniture is older. The carpets have lots of stains, but again, I felt they were clean. Two small items to note (which would not stop me from renting again, but are good to know) they do not supply shower supplies like shampoo and the beds are not made. Everything was spotless and as pictured.

Great family vacation get away
We rented at Wind Lake because the property looked beautiful and peaceful. It was both. We met family there. We had 7 people for 2 nights and my hubby and I for the other 2 nights. It was a beautiful and relaxing vacation. The property was very clean. We had 3 couples and each had a nice bedroom with a bathroom. There was another room with bunk beds. Communication with the owner was great. The beds were comfortable. There were swans in the lake which for a person from Arizona, you don't see too often. There's a cute little neighborhood bar / grill about .2 of a mile down the road which had a Friday fish fry and pool tables. It's about a 10 min drive from a Piggly Wiggly grocery store.

End of summer family vacation
This house worked well for our family! The shallow beach was perfect for our grandkids and access to kayaks and paddle boards next door was a plus. Huge trees provided needed shade on 90 degree days. Bunkroom provided a space for kids. Stairs down to kitchen steep but ok. The multiple large tables allowed the 10 of us to eat together. Easy to communicate with Jim!

Authentic Wisconsin Lake Life
The highlights of this rental were the spacious back yard and wading beach. The house was well laid out and spacious. The owners were very responsive. Like every lake house we have ever rented there are some stairs to navigate when loading in and out. Wind Lake has its own character and charm. It is a bit on the weedy side, but after a few minutes of raking the weeds to the side on the beach it was the perfect place for our grandkids to discover what lake life is about. It was a bit busy on the weekend, but it was very quiet during the week. We brought our 16ft. fishing boat that provided many hours of delightful cruising. We were able to use the small pier for boarding. We brought our own mooring anchor for when it was windy. Wind Lake also proved to a wonderful lake for paddling our canoe. The fishing was very good! The water pressure was excellent, and the refrigerator was nice and big.

Jim was great to deal with, personable and timely. The location on the lake was magical, the rooms were beautiful with lots of space! We played on the piano as well. We had hoped to do some fishing on the dock but the water was too shallow. If we rented a boat I am sure we would have found some!

Pleasant but not perfect
Did not care for layout of house. That was not communicated. We assumed loft area was upstairs. You actually enter home into loft area and have to haul all your kitchen items down a long set of stairs. (So also lots of cross traffic) Husband has both artificial hips and this was taxing for him. One son needs hip replacement and hard for him too. Beautiful view of small lake. Small dock. Very shallow water. So if you have littles it’s great. Sandy bottom.
Neighbors pontoon rental is not in great condition. We’d been told we all could ride on it but that wasn’t possible. It went down pretty low with only 1/2 of us on it. (11 in our party) So that was disappointing. I know not owners fault but we’d likely not have rented without that option. It is a bit secluded. Not tons to do in area. Would be nice if owner provided some water toys (non motorized) It is close to Milwaukee and not far from Six Flags so location is ok.
We’d have liked less table and chairs and more living room space with a bigger tv. Tv was small and could only seat about 4 to watch. Upstairs main loft tv was tiny and did not work. 4 bedrooms were fine and bathrooms also good but futons were cheap and uncomfortable and I felt bad for the 2 who slept on them. One son had pullout couch and did not pull it out as he didn’t think it would be comfortable. No shades in lr or loft area either so bright early in mornings.
Very expensive rental for what was offered. Have stayed at much better places for less.

Our 3rd annual 4 day family lake house weekend
Of the 3 different places we have rented, this is by far the best.
We have 13 people in our family. Grandparents, kids and grandkids.
The house had plenty space and accommodated us all.
Kids swam, kayaked, fished, we played games in the back yard and a campfire in the back next to the lake. We will go back to this house again.

This was one occasion where the pictures were good, but not as good as walking into the house. It was spacious, cheerful, clean, and generally well organized. The views were lovely. I came with my four children, their partners, and two young grandchildren. There was space for all. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would definitely go again.

Absolutely wonderful long holiday weekend. Cleanest vacation rental we have ever stayed in. The home has everything you would want or need. We had adults and a couple very young children and there is something for everyone. We had great fun in the lake, around the bonfire, the patio and relaxing in the air conditioned spacious home. Jim is very communicative and responsive. We did not want to leave and can’t wait to come back.

Wedding weekend family gathering
Loved the house! Worked perfectly for our family. Nice big functional kitchen, big area where we gathered for a rehearsal dinner. Neighbor Nic was great for added parking and potential boating rentals. Our daughter made use of the grand piano as well! Jim was prompt in attending to some small items needing his help. Big table spaces great for family games and gathering over our meals.
