The house is excellent. We had 6 adults and 2 children so plenty of space. The water was not good so we did no swimming but probably a seasonal thing. The view is great.

Incredible Cabin!

The pictures don’t the place justice, it is even nicer in person! Loved how close to our own beach area and it was a sandy bottom, no seaweed. Thanks for an incredible place to stay

Amazing Stay At Lake Petenwell

We had an amazing stay at this one-of-a-kind family beach front home on Lake Petenwell! The location is absolutely beautiful, with direct access to the beach just steps away. The house had tons of space and great amenities, making it perfect for our group. Communication with the owners was seamless—they were incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend for families of all ages looking for a peaceful and fun getaway!

Fun Lakehouse Getaway

Easy check in process, beautiful home on the lake. Boys enjoyed fishing on the dock, we took our boat out on the lake and swam in the lake. A great experience overall.

Family fun

The house was modern and clean. Very comfortable. The beach made swimming fun. If you bring a boat be sure to inquire about a lift since boat has to come out of water at night. Great place for whole family

Gem of a Lakehouse

This house is beautiful! Nestled in the woods for just the right amount of sun and shade overlooking the lake! It was so relaxing to hang out on the deck & beach or by the fire pit. We especially appreciated the gate on the deck to keep the littles and the dogs contained. Very spacious rooms for our group of 12.

Beautiful Home!

House and property are absolutely beautiful! All the rooms are well appointed, spacious, and very clean. Plenty of parking for my son’s wakeboard boat and son in-laws fishing boat. The grandkids loved playing in the basement and on the sandy beach. The large deck and fire pit area provided great family time in the evenings with awesome views of the lake. Ability to bring my dog was so appreciated. Would definitely return to this home!! We loved it!!

Beautiful Getaway Cottage!

A beautiful getaway cottage with a great view of Lake Pentenwell. One of the few all sandy beach front properties available. Wi-Fi could use improvement, it does not reach too well into the great room. Only Television is streaming, no cable or satellite dish. Overall a beautiful experience, plan to again.

Big Bay Getaway

This was a beautiful home with a lot of amenities that far exceeded our expectations. Wonderful view from the main living area. Comfortable deck furniture for relaxing with a cup of coffee in the morning. Only feedback that I can think of for making it better would be by providing kitchen dish towels & a toaster. I would definitely recommend this rental to friends.

Beautiful house/ great location

My family and I stayed for a week in this house. It’s beautiful and right on the lake, the location is also perfect. We brought our boat and there is a free launch right in the bay so it was super easy to put it in and out every day. The house is very nice and the property is exactly what we wanted tucked into the woods. We are going to rent this house again next Summer as soon as they allow us to book it. See you next summer

Lake House Get Together

Spacious, immaculately clean house on the lake in a quiet, rural setting. Extremely relaxing experience with our immediate family and grandkids and family friends. The house is very well maintained and well appointed. The app description was accurate and, if anything, understated how wonderful this house is. It exceeded our expectations in most every way. We had a wonderful stay hanging out at the beach in front of the house and some others nearby, kayaking, swimming, biking, running, walking, cooking and grilling. We’d love to return next year.

Nice house, false advertising tho.

Nice, modern clean house. As a neighbor I find it inappropriate that the owners advertise a private beach house. It’s a public beach behind the house- the shoreline plus 100 feet is owned by the WAPCO, the WI power company. My husband own a home AND lot on this beautiful lake and respect all who share the beach areas with us.

Beautiful, clean house. We were disappointed that we couldn't swim because of the horrible algae. Also, as advertised, there was a ping pong table, but no useable balls with ratty rackets. The dishwasher worked well until the last morning when it wouldn't turn on. We were thinking circuit breaker? Plenty of quality untensils, towels. Such a peaceful, quiet setting!

Bummer about the algae - these things can never be predicted. We will get better equipment for the table. We are so sorry we missed that! Thank you for choosing to stay with us, come back anytime!

Annual Family Trip

This home is absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed the large lot and the privacy. There was plenty of room for our family of 8. The only disappointment was the water. It was full of green algae which looked like paint, so no swimming for us. I have read that this is normal for this time of year. Some dead fish, which made the flies very annoying, but it did not damper our fun! I would recommend this home. We had to call the agency twice and they were quick to respond.

Thank you for staying with us, bummer about the water, but yes Lake Petenwell can get algae around that time - other seasons are better than others! You will be happy to know homeowners have decided to install an inground pool for the 2025 season! Swimming will be so much enjoyable no matter when you book :)

Beautiful Clean House

We enjoyed our stay so much, the house is incredible! The rooms are spacious, we loved the open kitchen and living combo plus the big basement. We were able to watch the Packers play on the big screen in the basement. The deck is so nice and peaceful to sit on and listen to the waves. The yard has plenty of space and the driveway was great for the kids to ride bike and scooter on. The house was clean, well stocked and everything we were looking for. The kids loved playing in the sand and walking along the trails. Only downside was the boat lift was for a pontoon and didn't work for our Lund but that was not a big deal since the launch was less than a mile away. We highly recommend and can't wait to come back!

Despite not having everyone join us due to Covid, we did have a nice time, and may rebook in the future. Since recycling was required, we did so. However, it appeared the dumpster was only for garbage, so we ended up taking all recyclables home so we wouldn't jeopardize not getting our security deposit returned. Thank you.

Sunday, Jul 27 - Friday, Aug 1. The house and the deck were quite lovely, with nice interior decorations. Beach area was fairly rustic. Nice fire ring near the house.The house was lacking beach towels. There weren't any matches, etc. for lighting the fire. The house was advertised as sleeping 12, but there was a lack of silverware for feeding our group of ten. Also, there were only enough bed spaces for sleeping nine. One of the grandchildren had to sleep with his parents.The most serious problem for this house on a lake, was that it was nearly impossible to do any outdoor activities on the property due to swarms of biting black flies. This made the property unusable. It was suggested that we spray with Cutter's, but it was not supplied at the house, and it would have had no effect on the lake. The grandchildren were very disappointed that the paddleboards they brought were unusable due to the flies. For as much as we paid for a lakefront vacation home rental, we were not able to use the lakefront. It was not worth what we paid. We would not consider returning.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home’s décor, deck, and fire ring. Beach towels are not listed in the amenities provided, but we appreciate the suggestion. For future guests, a striker for the grill and fire pit is supplied and can be found in the kitchen drawer or next to the grill. Our sleeping arrangements are clearly outlined in the listing, and we’ll double-check silverware inventory. Unfortunately, black flies can be a natural occurrence in Wisconsin lake country during certain weeks and are outside of our control, though we understand how disappointing that can be. We’re happy you enjoyed many aspects of your stay, and we hope you’ll consider visiting again during a different season to experience the lake at its best.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this lake house. The home itself was nice, well-maintained, and appeared clean upon arrival. The lake views were beautiful, and the beach access was a huge plus for our family.The one significant issue was the floors. While the house generally seemed clean, the floors were extremely dirty. Our baby’s feet and knees turned black after crawling around for a short period of time, which was disappointing and made us question how thoroughly the floors had been cleaned before our arrival.Aside from that, the property was comfortable, the location was great, and the lakefront setting was exactly what we were looking for. With better attention to floor cleaning, this would be an excellent rental.

Labor Day Weekend

Very nice home with a great location. Enough space for all of us. My family totally enjoyed themselves. We made some memories here! A couple of minors dealt with the deck. It was large and was where we converged mainly, but we had to use some folding camp chairs and nothing for dining outside on the deck either. The picnic table was child size. The fire pit had ample seating and we enjoyed it. Keeping this location for future use.
