Awesome Lake Getaway On Beautiful Green Lake

Check out the virtual tour. Go to You Tube and search The Big House Green Lake Wi

No need to look any further for your lake home getaway this has it all. This property is located on the southwest corner of Green Lake referred to as "the terrace". This side of the lake is shallow and all pure sandy bottom. Weeds do grow out of it but the areas that most renters swim in near the end of the pier is always sandy and weed free. This property is perfect for 1 real large family or 3-4 smaller families to share. There are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There is a large open concept kitchen and living room on the lower level that overlooks the beautiful lake. 1 bedroom is in the hallway off the kitchen but the other 4 are upstairs. The property sleeps 13 very comfortably in the 5 bedrooms and easily more using portable beds (not provided), sofa sleeper, and additional beds in rec room. The upper rec room area has a pool table, foosball table, dart board, large flat screen tv, private bathroom, couches and chairs, and is approximately 20x20. The property has a 150' pier that you can fish off of or tie off your boat. This is personally my all time favorite swimming lake because of how shallow it is and that its all sand. You can walk directly in off the boat house entrance to the water, or down the steps of the pier. The first 15 feet from the boat house is rocky then its all sand. This is a great place for kids to swim because of how shallow it is and how far out it goes before it gets very deep. Check out a Green Lake Map on google to see the depths of the lake. As you walk out from the shore towards deeper water, you have to get at least 50-100 yards before it goes below 5-6 ft deep. Green Lake is the deepest lake in the state which you wouldn't believe judging by how shallow it is on this end but it gets as deep as 262 ft and is great fishing including lake trout. You will love this property and really enjoy your time here. Great Irish Pub 5-6 doors down with phenominal food, and top rated golf 10 minutes away.

What else do you need?

Call, text, or email for details. Calendar is always up to date so reference that for available dates. If you are looking over a year out rates and availability may not be updated yet so definitely give a call.

Minimum rental age is 25 and all occupants (if not children w/families) should be over that age or at least close. If not, please call and we will consider some exceptions. We are very strict however on bachelor parties or rowdy loud groups. We prefer quiet families as this is not a party neighborhood. I screen everyone before agreeing to rent to them for this reason. Please be respectful of this requirement.

Great Place!

We really enjoyed our vacation at this house! The property details listed on VRBO were accurate and we had everything that we needed. This location on Green Lake was fabulous. The water off the pier is very shallow with a sandy bottom, hardly any weeds. We enjoyed this rental so much that we booked again for next year!

Perfect winter getaway!

This beautiful home had everything we needed for a much needed winter getaway. The view was great, I can only imagine how lovely it is in the summer! Brad was very helpful. And Ronda at Riley's Pub filled us in on the area.

We LOVED staying at this lake house!

We enjoyed so many things about staying at this lake house right on Green Lake! The view of the lake out the kitchen/dining room/living room windows was absolutely gorgeous, especially when the sun was rising. This house gives you so much space...our large family had more than we needed. It is well equipped and has a lot of closet and storage space. It was helpful to have a spacious laundry room, too. The backyard is peaceful and we enjoyed having a bonfire one evening. We enjoyed the area very much, as well. The communication with the host was great, too. Our family would love to stay here again.

The house was big for our family gathering. It was clean an had what we needed. But if anyone stays, they need to bring their own toilet paper, other than that was good place to stay.

Nice Stay

Overall, we had a great time hanging out at this location. To the extent I had any gripes, they were relatively minor. For example, the info regarding recyclables which I was sent when I first made the reservation was the opposite of what I received for check in. I would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed a wonderful week

We are grateful you choose to share your lovely home as a vacation rental. We were so glad to be located once again on the Terrace where we could enjoy a more shallow, sandy entrance into the water. It easily accommodated our large group, both indoors as well as out. We so appreciated the modern amenities and breathtaking view. Tying our boats to the long sturdy pier worked out well. Thanks again for a great week.

Fantastic cottage + swimming access

This cottage was the perfect place to accommodate our large family. The layout of the house was well set up: open layout kitchen/dining/living, bedrooms upstairs away from noise, plus bonuses of a large game room, upstairs screened in porch and porch just off the living room. After 30+ years of vacationing at Green Lake, this is the best water access. Sandy bottoms, great for little kids and lounging. The owners were friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommend for any type of gathering!

Winter Weekend Family Getaway

We enjoyed our stay - there was plenty of room for the 8 of us. Beds were comfortable and house was well-cleaned. Only 3 minor negatives, but none affected our stay: 1) house seemed under renovation” - with a couple (non-essential) doors off hinges and set aside, kitchen stools in the front closet, and an extra mattress against the wall in the upstairs bedroom, 2) the lid to the kitchen garbage can was very dirty. Easy enough to clean, but obviously it hadn’t been in some time, and 3) there was no soap in the showers; only liquid hand soaps at the sinks … perhaps that was specified in the listing? Also, no dishwasher detergent left in kitchen.Overall, a nice, spacious house for our family!

October Stay

Generally the experience was satisfactory. The location of the house and its layout were very good. The only drawbacks were that the house appeared that it had not been recently cleaned before our arrival; certain of the games that were advertised as being in the house were flawed or otherwise broken (including foosball table and ping pong table); some of the outdoor furniture was very old, dirty, and questionably sound; and recycle bin was completely full upon our arrival leaving us with no alternative but to drive cans to another location for recycling throughout our stay.

Good for the weekend

Slightly less kept up than I thought it would be. We were given the wrong code to check in with and the door handle was broken so we had to shove something in it to keep the cold air from blowing in - no fix would be done until after we left. overall it fit our needs to stay close to the wedding venue.
