Nice place, great location

This property is spacious, clean and well-stocked. It's in a really nice and quiet neighborhood. We went for a long walk one morning and looked at the houses and lake. We wish we could have figured out how to get local channels on the tv (we knew there was no cable), as we like to watch a little tv before bed. Queen sized bed was comfy. The other bedroom has a bunk bed and a trundle bed (we just stored luggage in there) and a washer and dryer (didn't use). The toilet is low and a bit tilty - just a heads up. We wish we could have had one more day!! We look forward to staying again.

Cottage on the Pond

This is our third stay at this property. It is a sweet cottage with whatever you need for a comfortable stay. The neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. The owners are extremely nice and very easy to communicate with! We hope to be back next Spring for another concert at the Thrasher

quiet weekend

Area was nice, very quiet. The owner's instructions, including keycode, were NOTposted on the Vrbo app. Fortunately my cousin is very tech savvy and managed to find the owners cell number. The cottage was very clean and well stocked with linens and kitchen basics.Overall the experience was good, but it took us nearly an hour to access the cottage.

Great place to relax

We stayed here the weekend of Labor Day 2023. The place was perfect size for 2 adults, 2 teenagers, and 2 dogs. Close to the boat launch. Was hot weekend and the wall AC kept the temperature in the place nice and cool. Any questions were quickly answered by the host. Great communication. Would recommend staying here to anyone and we plan on staying here next year.

Comfortable home close to great lake access

The house was very comfortable and well supplied for all of our needs including cleaning products and a washer and dryer. It was only about a 1 block walk to the public beach and they had boogy boards and beach towels for use. They also had a nice fire pit and wood supplied.

The cottage was adequate for what we needed

Could have been cleaner. Had urine smell and stains throughout carpet. It would be best to replace with vinyl flooring. Blinds were filthy and some didn’t work. Otherwise it was a good experience.

About the host

Hosted by Bob and Cheryl Picha

Host profile image
We bought our Green Lake duplex in 1993. We've enjoyed many years of fun with our children. Now that they're on their own we would love other families to experience the same fun times.

Why they chose this property

Enjoy the peace and beauty of the pond while being just across the street from beautiful Green Lake. Lots of room outside for the kids to roam. Easy walk to the beach. Public launch nearby, plenty of room to keep your boat on the side lawn.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful serene view of well kept pond - our neighbors own it and keep it circulated so it doesn't get stagnant. Big Green lake is across the street and public beach is short walk. Public launch is minutes away. Enjoy Princeton, Green Lake and other nearby towns for antiques and Saturday flea market may-oct. While we have cable tv and internet, the cottage is a great place to get away from everything and enjoy peace and quiet. Beautiful in the fall and spring and winter too!
