About the host
Hosted by Shannon
I purchased the GL Lake House in 2014, and have privately rented to families that have been coming to Green Lake for many generations. I have been investing in the property every year since, as it is my labor of love. I hope all my guests enjoy the house as much as I do.
Why they chose this property
I am from Chicago. I grew up going to family vacations with my immediate family, grandparents, aunts & uncles in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, including, Minocqua, St. Germain, and Eagle River. We loved to fish, golf, swim, play board games, and hang out at the fire pit. I have many fond memories hanging out on the screened in porches at night, telling stories. Annual visits to the local bait shop, tavern, and Super Clubs were a tradition. I became aware of Green Lake thru a friend, as an adult. Because life gets busy, Green Lake is only halfway to the Northwoods I had come to know as a kid.
What makes this property unique
The 100 year old pines make you feel you are in the Northwoods, even thought you are only 180 miles form Chicago, or 90 miles from Milwaukee. The water is clean and deep, where a boat is not necessary for swimming and fishing. It all starts by taking the Tram down to the house, which is a very unique experience in its own.
