Dog-friendly, lakefront house with beach access, dock, AC, W/D, patio, & firepit
Summary:
Summer Breeze
The Space:
Meticulously planned and sitting on the banks of Big St. Germain Lake, this spectacular five-bedroom house is the perfect fusion of modern comfort and lake house charm, ideal for your next vacation with family and friends! Big St. Germain Lake is a 1,600-acre recreational lake ideal for water sport activities such as water and jet skiing, kayaking, canoeing, and swimming right from the dock! Fishermen can reel in trout, musky, walleye, and bass. St. Germain Sport Marine is less than five miles away, with plenty of boat rentals available, from jet skis to pontoons. Winter guests will even be able to rent snowmobiles for some cold-weather adventure. Take the family out to enjoy a good hike on Shannon Lake Hiking Trail, Awassa Trail, or Fern Ridge Hiking Trail, all five miles or less from the home. Inside, the living area is bright and spacious, with spectacular lake views through wall-to-wall windows. Guests will love kicking back in the great room, dressed in luxurious furniture, a mounted flatscreen TV, and a stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace, with access to the covered back deck furnished with a swinging bench and comfy chairs. The screened porch is the ideal setting for catching up with old friends over glasses of chilled wine while the kids explore the yard with the family dogs. The gourmet kitchen is the dream of any family chef, with gleaming countertops and high-end appliances that include a French-door refrigerator and dishwasher, a large pantry, and a center prep island with breakfast bar seating for four, plus a high chair for the little one. The handsome dining table has plenty of seating for up to 10 dinner guests and there is a barbecue dining area right outside the screened porch with two picnic tables and a gas grill, perfect for your next grill session. Good thing too, because after a day on the lake with the home's complimentary rowboat, kayaks, and canoe, there's nothing like throwing a little char on some freshly caught fish! Gather everyone around the furnished firepit area to spend an evening savoring toasted s'mores and constellations while waves lap against the shoreline just beyond. When it's time to wrap up the night, you'll have five bedrooms and additional sleeping arrangements in the loft to take advantage of, each with its own mounted TV and unique furnishings. The main bedroom enjoys access to an en-suite bath through sliding barn doors, plus access to the covered deck. Wake up to the aromas of freshly-brewed coffee and head out to the private dock to enjoy the sunrise with a favorite novel. Spend a day in the sun and don't forget to visit the wet bar when it's time to take a break from all the fun. The home's private washer/dryer will keep everyone's laundry sparkling clean, so you can afford to pack light for your trip. Keep the younger guests occupied with provided children’s games. Have some work to do while you're here? The home's high-speed WiFi makes it quick and easy for remote workers and students to complete their projects on time. The central AC will keep everything nice and cool during those hot summer months. THINGS TO KNOW Rowboat, kayaks, canoe, paddle pontoon boat, cornhole set, towable tube, air compressor. Streaming services are available with guests’ personal accounts. This property is managed by Vacasa Wisconsin LLC.

This place was fantastic! Everything was in working order. All amenities were in great condition. Everything was spotlessly clean. The living room furniture was comfy and spacious. It was really the perfect for our girls getaway.
This place was idyllic. The home is bright and pristine. It was great to have a small beach next to the water to enjoy and having a fire pit made for some good s’more memories. The lake view is stunning, and the views of the sunset and the moon shining on the water are unreal. The beds were comfy, and the kitchen is well stocked with dishes and pans. Having multiple bathrooms was a huge plus. The proximity to various cities (and activities) also made for some fun excursions. We are so grateful we got to stay here
Our family of 15 had an amazing time at Summer Breeze! Great house - it had everything we needed and was very clean. Location was great.

Great view
I enjoyed sitting on the screened porch and looking out at the water. The colors at sunset were beautiful. Ducks, loons, and an eagle were fun sights to see.

Girls weekend!
The house has a great common area. 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and was very clean. Could have had more kitchen towels and dish cloths but had more than enough bath towels. We had a great stay!

We appreciate you letting us know there is room for improvement, and we will pass your comments regarding the kitchen towels and dish cloths on to our local operations manager for consideration.

My friends and I had a lovely 4 days at “ Peak color” in the North woods at Summer Breeze. The home is beautiful and comfortable with plenty of space to relax and unwind. I highly recommend this home for couples, and families or like us, a chick trip😃! Wonderful accommodations with 2 en suite bedrooms and 3 other bedroom with 2 more full baths. You cannot go wrong if you choose to stay at Summer Breeze!
Property was wonderful, excellent room size, be it bedrooms, kitchen, utility, great room, 3 season or porch. Yard was great, and dock was long enough to accommodate our boat and jet skis. Highly recommend this home.
First timers to Saint Germain and had a wonderful time. Home location is very quiet and peaceful and would be a perfect summer getaway for a large group. Very cleanly and spacious. Highly recommended

Family getaway
My husbands family goes to Wisconsin to reminisce about their youth. We’re all getting older now and the house was super spacious for wheelchair and other assistive devices. If we’re all able we’d go back for sure! Wonderful!

Northern Wisconsin at its finest
Great home with ample of space inside and outside. Firepit and sandy beach lakefront with a small dock. Location is ideal near supper clubs and 20 mins or so into either nearby town. Only issue we had was smoke alarm keep going off - bring 9v batteries.

5 stars to the property. House is great. Cleaners could have been a lot better as had to scrub floor and bathroom on the main floor. Master had toothpaste on the sink and bugs left on window sills and floors . Just seemed like things were not moved to clean up. The front door was covered with bugs that makes folks think things could be cleaner. I think they were just in a bit of a hurry. Loved everything else. When we arrived all the beach toys were not put away. We did not use any as paddle boat seems to be broken. Five stars on everything else we enjoyed the beautiful property and Eagles everywhere. Thank you for offering a late check out with the crazy weather. Jeanne

This property had it all! from the gourmet kitchen, to a dinning room table that could fit us all. Loved the sandy beach close to the house for the grandkids to play in. Everything was just beautiful!
