About this property

Water Front on Big Hills Lake

Our cottage is perched on the shore of the lake and offers sweeping views. The cottage has a large deck over looking water and includes your own private dock, and fire ring (and lots of firewood!). If you want to boat, fish, swim and have campfires on the shore of beautiful Big Hills Lake in Waushara County will be a great spot for you.

This recently updated cottage has everything you will need for a great vacation along with the charm of a old-school cottage. This cottage is very cute and comfortable but it's not fancy. It is best suited for families.

The upper cottage level features sliding glass doors that open onto an amazing deck, a fully equipped kitchen (sorry, no dishwasher) a dining and living area, and quirky but clean and functional bathroom.

The lower level has four beds (1 queen, 1 double and 2 twin). It is separated into 2 "bedrooms" by a curtain. There is plenty of space, a large closet and multiple dressers but it is a little short on privacy. This sleeping area ideal for families who like each other and value being together. Note that there is not a bathroom on the bedroom level.

The cottage is the kind of place that people come to year after year. If you are looking to hang out, make family memories, drink your favorite beverage with an amazing view and enjoy lazy joyful days on the lake, our cottage may be for you.

Guests have access to a private dock and may tie up a boat during their visit.

We have a canoe, kayak and life jackets that you are welcome to use during your stay.

There is a fire ring for evening campfires as well as firewood for your use.

Guests may or may not see us during their visit. We are always available by phone and we have a property manager who can take care of emergencies.

Other things to note
-To keep costs low we ask that guests bring their own sheets and towels.
-There is a TV, DVD player, HDMI cable and FireStick and lots of DVDs. We do not have cable.
-County law requires requires us to handle the deep cleaning but we require all guests to do a basic clean-up (sweep, bag-up trash, do dishes, etc.)
-There is a large trash container on site and weekly trash service which should be plenty for the week. If you create excessive garbage we ask that you take it with you.
-We ask that guest recycle using the containers provided.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Swift

Host profile image
Mike and Suzanne live in Madison, WI with their two teenage children. Both work at the UW Madison and love both traveling the world, and spending weekends fixing up their cottage and enjoying all that Wisconsin has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We always wanted to find a perfect place for our family to enjoy the summer but it took several years for us to find the right spot.

We purchased the property in 2016 and have spent the times since constantly improving the space and amenities.

We feel in love with the property because it is right on the lake edge and allows wonderful access to everything the lake has to offer.
