About this property

Fabulous Lake House near Lake Geneva, 1.5 hours from Chicago!!

COME FOR THE FUN, STAY FOR THE MEMORIES!
Priceless memories await you at this one of a kind lake house on the waters of beautiful Powers Lake, WI. Just an 1.5 hours north of Chicago and 10 minutes east of Lake Geneva, this location is ideal for your next group getaway. Venture into the welcoming waters of the lake for sport or recreation, gather around the campfire for star-gazing and storytelling, or cozy up inside to enjoy one another’s company in one of the spacious gathering areas.

ADVENTURES AWAIT! PRIVATE SAND BEACH WITH PIER!
Sleep steps from your own private sandy beach, where you will be ready to tackle a full day of lake life adventure. Launching personal or rented watercraft is a cinch with a public boat launch nearby, and the properties private beach with pier provide you top notch access to the lake. Whether picking up guests to cruise the lake, jumping in the lake to take a swim, or casting a line in the water to catch the big fish with your kids, you may not want to leave the water! Powers Lake offers clear water and a popular sandbar in the middle where locals and visitors gather daily to relax. If the sandbar is not your style, stop by the Rock Bar II for food, drink and entertainment!

The list of outdoor adventure options are abundant, with cyclists and runners enjoying many scenic trails in the region. Circling Powers Lake on land is a very scenic journey that covers ~4.5 miles, and it is very common to see large groups of cyclists cruising through Powers Lake on the county road system. Within 10 miles, you can also access the White River State Trail (19 miles of trail) or the Lake Geneva Shore Path (26 miles of trail). If there are golfers in your group, there are plenty of golf courses in the area.

Shopping is another adventure where treasures are just waiting to be discovered at local boutiques and premium outlets alike. Lake Geneva and Burlington offer a selection of boutique shops just minutes away. There are plenty of name brand deals to be found at the Premium Outlets of Pleasant Prairie, which is a 25 minute ride to the east.

HOME SWEET HOME!
After you return home, serve up drinks at your own private bar, and spend quality time together. Whether the group hangs out in the spacious living room, or on the expansive outdoor patio, there is a comfortable space for everyone. The inviting living area includes plenty of couches, a big screen TV, foosball table and awesome views of the water. The outdoor patio includes multiple tables, chairs, and a gas grill for your favorite BBQ foods. In addition to the grill, there is a well equipped kitchen where you can channel your inner chef and feed the masses!

Traveling with multiple young ones? No problem! The sleeping arrangements are easily separated so the adults can get their rest while the kids stay up making childhood memories. As members of your group prepare for slumber, retire upstairs with sleeping accommodations for up to 14 people.

Hosts went above and beyond to accommodate my senior mother with a private bed on main level. They were also accommodating on other requests that I had. It was such a fun, nostalgic place. It was all exactly how I remembered the Old Mill to be and the private beach made for some additional family time. I see a wonderful future for this getaway place!!

Fun friends weekend at the lake!

This property is very interestingly set up, and made way more sense when we found out it used to be a bar! The beds were very comfy and fun space to hang out. The beach area was nice and we enjoyed some fires at night. It says 4 bedrooms but one of the bedrooms doesn't have a door or a separation. Overall very fun stay!

Great Place

If you’re looking for a fun, quirky place, this is for you. The building was a roadside bar/restaurant that the owner lived above. It’s been converted to a house, but still has a large bar and wide open areas for indoor fun. My children hosted all of their cousins and everyone had a great time. The beach/lake access is very nice. Would highly recommend.

Overall relaxing weekend

The inside property was comfortable and welcoming. The owner provided cold complimentary drinks when we arrived (thank you). The front property was a little busy (busier road) with many cars passing by. Overall the 6 people in my group has plenty of space to lounge and enjoy.

Perfect weekend trip!

Our stay at this rental was absolutely perfect. The house had all of the amenities needed for a large group (and then some!) and so many different spaces for us to lounge and unwind. The outdoor space in particular was amazing and you cannot beat the beachfront/dock. (We rented a pontoon boat and could easily dock it right in front of the house.) Kathleen and Brian were great hosts and incredibly helpful/communicative. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing lake trip.

Extended weekend with our adult children

This house was exactly the space we needed to hang out and spend time together. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed to make great dinners. We enjoyed the deck and eating outside or sitting outside to watch the sunrise and sunset. The great room was very comfortable. We were able to watch movies and play video games together. There was a ping pong and foosball table. There was a full bar we could sit at and hang out and a couple of tall bar tables to play cards and board games. The beds were comfortable and each bedroom had a nice view. There were even places upstairs to hang out. There was plenty of parking. We were traveling with dogs so I was a little concerned about being so close to the road but it was not an issue. We enjoyed the beach access. We rented a boat for the weekend and could dock it right by the house. We spent a lot of time on the water. Overall very nice house and very nice weekend. We will be back!

Graduation Gathering

Wanted to come back for our son’s graduation and have a family get together. 6-7 people coming from out of town needed lodging. Plenty of space to host the group and more for a cookout with others. Spacious first floor with bar was great. Large back deck provided extra space outside. Grill was large enough to cook for a big crowd. Kitchen was well appointed. Upstairs bedrooms were comfortable and there was enough space for sleepovers if people had a long drive home and wanted to stay late. We didn’t use the beachfront because it’s early spring but the dock was great. Plenty of room for parking. Would definitely stay again.

Great place to gather!

We needed a place for our extended family to gather for the holidays. This was the perfect spot between Madison, Milwaukee, and Chicago! Plus there was a ton of space to spread out when needed. We have 2 small kids, and having a room with 3 beds and a small living area (tv, couch) came in really handy when they woke up before the rest of the family! Would definitely stay again - and imagine this place is magical in the summer with the beach right across the road!!!

About the host

Hosted by Katie

Host profile image
Welcome to our home! We are a sibling and spouse team who purchased this home together in 2021. Growing up on Powers Lake, we always knew we wanted to permanently put down roots here and have put a lot of time and love into this home.

Originally, The Old Mill was a bar and we have many fond memories eating pizza and mini tacos here. As you can see we have preserved the bar which creates a great space to make memories with you and yours!

We are honored to host you and we hope you have an incredible stay with us.

What makes this property unique

The best part of our home is how amenable it is to large parties - there is something here for everyone! Easy lake access, a large kitchen, spacious living space, a huge private beach and a great big bar for gathering are the best parts!
