Stunning Lakefront Home on the Chain O'Lakes! ★ Amazing Views & Newly Rehabbed
Welcome all Chain O'Lakes boaters and waterfront seekers to the resort style living that Fox Lake has to offer! Located directly on Fox Lake with 50 feet of frontage on the water, you can enjoy breakfast on your beautiful deck, coffee, or wine on the balcony, then a day on the water. This stunning, meticulously maintained 1850+ square feet lakefront home was recently renovated. Have dinner on the deck with a view of the lake and the make your s’mores in the fire pit all while being on the edge of Mineola Bay.
Large deck and fully fenced in flat backyard are great for bonfires and games. The open kitchen and dining areas offers spectacular views of the lake through two story windows.
Summer fun! Spend the day out on the water and dock your boat right at the Lake House! Don't have a boat? Rent ours! Ask us about one of our Sylvan Pontoon boats that we have available for rent! There are several restaurants on the chain that have boat parking! Ride horses at the Chain O'Lakes State Park Stables, hike through Chain O'Lakes state park, and there are plenty of golf courses within 20 minutes, ride your bike on the bike trails and more. Enjoy a traditional Friday Night Fish Fry and other great food and drinks from several local restaurants.
Looking for additional things to do with the kids? The NEW Lakefront Park has just opened! Kids can climb, swing and slide on the vibrant playground, play on the splashpads or sit on the beach. You can also play Pickleball on the new courts!
Winter fun! Wilmot Ski Resort offers skiing and snow tubing for the whole family and is a short 15 minute drive away! Great cross country skiing trails at the Chain O’Lakes State park, local Ice skating rinks, phenomenal Ice Fishing, snowmobiling, hunting and more!

About the host
Hosted by Josh
Having grown up in northern Wisconsin I became accustomed to being on the water and learned to love outdoors! In spring you'll find me training for my next race or triathlon, summer you'll find me on the water or by a bonfire, in fall I'll be watching football and hiking to see fall colors, and winter I'll head to Colorado to some of my favorite ski resorts!
I love to travel and would say that Turks & Caicos has been my favorite destination thus far but St Lucia would be a very close second.
I'm the owner of a few small businesses and love to support the same. And I take great pride in providing a 5 star service for your stay!
