This area is a great destination for golf, Road America, lovely cafes and shops, horseback riding around the lake, a great swimming beach 5 minutes away on Elkhart Lake.

Winter activities are plentiful. Ice fishing and skating or just pulling a sled over the lake is fun. There is a sledding hill and ice skating rink just a few minutes away. Sunburst Ski and Tubing is 35 minutes away in Kewaskum. The "magic carpet" takes you to the top of the tubing hill. Rent cross country skis or snowshoes from Osthoff in Elkhart Lake three miles away. So much winter fun!

Beautiful Property

We have a rather large family, and there was something to do for everyone. The kids spent all day fishing, the adults enjoyed the all the kayaking and SUPS. We especially loved the fact that the lake is small and we could let the kids go out on the kayaks and not have to worry. This really is the perfect place. We loved it here.

Perfect in every way!

This property had it all. Not only was it a beautiful setting on the peninsula, but they thought of everything to make our stay complete. From kayaks, paddleboards, hammocks, pedal boat, life jackets, and beach towels to a newly added game room in the garage. My grandchildren were over the moon happy! The kitchen was fully stocked and beds were comfy. What a surprise to find an Escape Box that had been meticulously created. Such a fun and unexpected idea. We were there for 3 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. We would definitely go back.

Perfect getaway!

We had the most wonderful vacation all thanks to Sue and her beautiful home! This rental was beyond perfect for our family. Having direct lake access and tons of watercraft activities was the best, we especially loved lily pad to float on. Very spacious entire backyard leading into lake with plenty of seating options, plus a lovely deck and patio table coming right off kitchen - perfect spot for family dinner during sunset. Interior was all just as impressive. Modern kitchen with everything for home-cooked meals and we loved all the counter space along with the island. Bedrooms and bathrooms worked out well for all. So appreciated all the extra towels and blankets throughout the space. Meticulously clean as well! On top of the house itself, Sue was a gem to work with. So responsive, always helped with questions pre and during trip and just made the process so smooth. We are already looking to come back next year! Our dog especially demands it for how much fun she had in the water🐾

Beautiful stay at this lovely lake house

This is our second time staying at this property. It is clean, comfortable, well – appointed, and spacious. We absolutely love the location. It’s the best spot for watching the fireworks from the nearby camp on the 3rd of July! This house has everything we need, inside and outside. A beautiful place to relax and unwind together as a family!

Family Get A Way

Stayed for a week to enjoy life on the lake. Hosts provided virtually everything you could imagine, coffee, complete kitchen set up, outdoor water toys and firepit, indoor games, washer/dryer, plenty of towels and blankets. Never needed to leave for anything although we enjoyed a couple of excursions to nearby Plymouth. Fun to see the kids from Camp Anokijig enjoying the lake.Thanks to Susan and Jerry

Great stay

Despite being on a road with several houses, this property is located at the end penninsula and is very private. The property slopes down to the water and it was very easy for swimmers and watercraft to get in and out of the water. Quiet lake was perfect size for small watercraft use. Great views, great kitchen, perfect coffee/drink station, plenty of places to sit independently or gather as a group, including nice benches near firepit area. Consider regulating airflow upon arrival so basement rooms aren't freezing while top floor bedroom is hot come bed time. But very manageable between extra blankets and fans. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely consider staying again!

Beautiful and peaceful lake view

Family reunion

Our family enjoyed our stay. We could engage in a variety of activities on the property. The close proximity to Road America Speedway was a bonus, too. The revving of the engines of the cars there did not interfere with the quiet in the mornings and the evenings.

Great place for the kids

Our children loved playing in the water, fishing, and exploring the area. The house was very clean, had everything we needed inside and out including items to play in the water. The paddle boat was a crowd favorite, and Sue was quick to respond when we had a question. The house was decorated very well, peaceful, and cozy. Would definitely recommend to anyone with 4 guests or under staying here, despite it being able to sleep at least 12. The only thing that wasn’t clear in the listing was the fifteen/person/night extra cleaning fee after 4 guests. The listing said fifteen/person extra. So on top of of the two hundred cleaning fee, we had to pay an extra two twenty five due to having more than 4 guests. As a result, this amounted to a four twenty five cleaning fee, by far the most I’ve ever had to pay for cleaning. And besides washing bedding and running the vacuum we left the place very clean. It seems extremely unreasonable to charge such a high amount.

Truly wonderful

We had the absolute best time at this property! Very clean, comfortable, with everything we needed (and more). Perfect spot on the lake, great views inside and out. Plenty of space, towels, water toys and kitchen stuff to take care of our family for our five day stay. So grateful that we were allowed to bring our dogs as well. And the bass fishing right off the pier was amazing! We hope to stay again soon. Wonderful place-highly recommend!

They get the details right

We had a most enjoyable stay. Sue & Jerry seem to have thought of all the details. The house is equipped in almost every way. The only thing I could have used that they didn't have is a crock pot. No complaints, though. There is a nice coffee bar, various spices, and a few things some guests will appreciate. One really neat thing is that they actually have an "Escape Room" game that is specific to the local area. We played it and loved it. The house was clean. There were plenty of towels, pillows, and our bed was comfortable. She left great instructions for where to find things in the home. I'd highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Sue Hoefs

Host profile image
We have rented out many of our properties over the years and decided to use VRBO for this new property to streamline registrations for our customers. My husband and I want to do the best we can to make you feel comfortable and relaxed on your vacation. When we go on vacation, we love comfortable beds and linens, lots of comfy and clean seating arrangements, activities for the kids and grandkids and a general sense of cleanliness and well taken care of property. We hope to help you build some great memories here at Birch Point.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property for the area and the beautiful, clean lake. So excited that my grandkids and I can paddle out to the little island and back. The point is nice to swim on and you can see an abundance of fish through the clear water. Nice and quiet yet we can walk to Road America for some noisy fun. Elkhart Lake is 3 miles away and has a beach, Tiki Bar, shops and restaurants and an adorable ambiance. There are 18 golf courses in the area, a deer petting zoo, winery and tons of places to reasonably rent hydrocyles, pontoon boats and more.

What makes this property unique

Private lake point with swimming raft, pier, lots of watercraft and privacy. Up north feel but easy to get to. Right off a main highway. Coming from the south is almost all interstate driving. Garage parking. Asphalt circle for the kids to play on scooters or bikes. Lots of water toys. Nice upscale kitchen and appliances. Very clean and comfy.
