    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.

    Windy Fishing
    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

    Perfect location just off the beaten track
    Great space- our bed was very comfortable- we were in town for a wedding so didn’t spend much time there. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed the space.

    Perfect
    This is exactly what my boyfriend and I needed. The home was clean, well stocked, and the views were amazing. There are delicious restaurants nearby, and plenty of things to do in town. We booked on a rainy weekend but got lucky and had the sun peak out Saturday so we went out to the dock and caught some fish!! The host was amazing, even called the day we were coming up to check in and introduce himself. We can’t wait to come back and stay longer next time.

    Beautiful, relaxing retreat!
    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! The best part for our family was the constant Bird activity on the water. We even watched a swan! Looking forward to another stay at this property! Great job😊

    Perfect for a relaxing do nothing in winter type of weekend.
    It was a perfect quiet place to stay and relax. My pups were so comfortable which made it easier for me to relax after i was recovering from a little surgery. Grant was helpful and kind. Everything was where he said it would be. Lived that the yard was fenced in! That was a bonus.
