Ideal quiet location as close proximity to Big Green Lake, yet woodedness & felt secluded. Property mirrored the pictures & description. Clean, organized, every convenience with dishware & high-end applicances, quality furnishings & decor. Bravo to "Host" as really well thought through with beautiful outside furniture, games, firepit & even dog mat. Really lovely...A Winner!

About the host

Host profile image
Hello, we’re Eric and Becky, and we’re lucky to call Wautoma home—a place that’s just a short drive from the enchanting Green Lake. We absolutely love spending time in Green Lake, where the combination of stunning natural beauty and peaceful surroundings never gets old. As locals, we’re thrilled to share this beautiful area with visitors and to provide a comfortable retreat where you can unwind and create your own unforgettable memories. We’re passionate about making sure you have a truly special experience while you explore all that Green Lake and the surrounding areas have to offer!

Why they chose this property

Guests will fall in love with the Green Lake Chalet for its blend of modern comfort and proximity to adventure. This newly renovated home is thoughtfully designed for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring an indoor fish/game cleaning station, ample trailer parking, and cozy spaces to relax after a day of activities. Whether grilling on the deck, gathering around the firepit, or enjoying the short walk to Reilly’s Pub, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with friends or family.

Green Lake is a hub for year-round fun! Its clear waters are perfect for fishing, boating, and paddle sports, while nearby trails offer scenic hiking and biking. Golfers will appreciate the challenging courses in the area, like Tuscumbia and Lawsonia, both highly rated and just a short drive away. For hunters, the region provides excellent opportunities for waterfowl, deer, and game bird hunting in lush, wooded areas. After a day outdoors, guests can explore charming local shops, relax at nearby wineries, or enjoy the small-town hospitality. The Green Lake Chalet puts you at the center of it all!
