Repairs needed
Plumbing repairs and general maintenance are necessary in this home. Cleanliness lacks attention to detail. Owners were receptive to comments. Hopefully they took care of the issues.

Clean, Spacious, Well-Furnished, Great for Group of 10
The home was clean, spacious, well-furnished, and worked perfectly for our group of 10. It is nice that the property is located so close to Emerson Bay State Recreation Area (beach, public docks, etc.). It is not near Arnolds Park, etc., but we had no problem getting Ubers back and forth. Additionally, the owners were friendly, helpful, and quick communicators. We would absolutely recommend this listing to others.

About the host

Hosted by Douglas Westerman

Host profile image
Having lived in the lakes area most of our lives and still love the amenities here, we like to call this place our forever home.

Why they chose this property

Emerson Bay is our first property living together before purchasing another residence a few months ago. We absolutely loved living in this property. So much so, that we now want to share in that experience by having you stay. Beautiful location nestled along the west side of west lake with ease access in and out. Bike trail and recreation will enhance your stay here.

What makes this property unique

Bike Trail located directly on property for ease access. Bike trail leads right down into Emerson Bay State Park. Ease access to boat ramp with parking. Great spot to hunker down in the wintertime with access to great ice fishing hotspot.
