About this property

Full Rec Lake w/pontoon to rent! 🏖 Beach. 🐶 friendly.

Welcome to our Bonding Time LLC lake house! You’re in for a treat when you realize what sets this house and it’s owners apart from other vacation rentals! We have the advantage of living on the same lake, so we are able to provide prompt and exceptional customer service. You’ll have a five star experience and want to return! Our quality furnishings and tasteful decor will make you feel right at home.

Dogs possible at owners discretion and $125 fee. No pets other than dogs. Do not Instant Book if you have a dog, please send an inquiry first so we can discuss. There are additional rules that apply for dogs.

This home has walk-out to a level lot that then gently slopes to a natural beach shoreline (when the water level is down), and there is a small area of beach by the shore. The yard has beautiful mature trees, a fire pit, dock, and pontoon (minimal per stay charge). The home is located on a very quiet dead-end road, and only 5 minutes to the grocery store / downtown area.

Irogami Lake is a clean, shallow (maximum depth is about 8 feet), safe, low traffic lake. It is a full recreation lake perfect for skiing, tubing, wake boarding, fishing, etc.
Rest assured, your boat will work great on this lake despite the shallow depth and your skiers will be happy to not fight traffic.

Even though ski hours are 6am to 8:30pm (10am-8:30pm weekends and holidays), the lake is quiet enough that you can use our paddle boards, kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, row boat, fish, or swim, etc without issue.

The home is perfect for your large group; sleeping 17 people in beds, 2 people on a sleeper sofa, and 1 child or small adult on a roll out bed. We also have a queen sized air mattress that two children could sleep on in the living room or game room. Four out of six bedrooms have queen/king non-bunk beds, so you will have plenty of comfortable sleeping room. There is a Master bedroom en suite, a main level shared bathroom with tub shower, and a lower level full bathroom with walk-in shower.

The open concept brand new kitchen allows for everyone to join together at meals. The island in the kitchen has seating and there’s a BIG table in the dining area to fit your group for mealtime (please protect this table while using it! Do not slide dishes across the wood. There are a number of table cloths you can use. Also, do NOT put anything hot on the wood without a trivet or hot pad). There is also a folding table with 4 chairs, and a folding poker table that when covered with table cloths can be used for meals.

The great family area in the lower level is a activity/game hub for your group. We have a bar area, pool table, darts, air hockey, foosball, board games, children's books, 65" TV and more in this area! Rainy days will not disappoint! For the sunny days, enjoy out door seating with large upper deck, and walk-out ground level patio overlooking a wonderful yard on the lake side for gathering together.

Lake toys: paddle boat, canoe, row boat/sailboat, 10' kayak, and two paddle boards included. We keep a number of life vests in the garage. Sizes and quantity listed later in this description. Return life vests and lake toys in a neat and orderly manner!

No-smoking inside or cigarette butts left outside, or security deposit is kept.

No indoor cooking of food with lingering pungent smells that cannot be removed before the next guests check in. We provide a Weber grill that can cook those smelly foods outdoors. The grill is new. You may use it only if you clean the grates, flame covers, and drip pan before you leave. It should look new. If not, a portion or all of your security deposit will be kept. Gas included, but if you run through the tank because you left the gas on you will need to refill the tank at your expense.

We recommend you look into cancellation protection in case something unexpected comes up and at the last minute you cannot make you trip and you are within the No Refund timeframe:
http://www.vacationprotection.com/?tab=Cancellation-Protection

There is a $99 insurance protection plan that will be added once you start your booking process. This will give both parties extra protection, and will cover up to $5,000 of accident coverage. If ANY damage occurs during your stay take a picture and send to the owners immediately so they can submit it to the insurance. This insures that security deposit would only be held for disrespect to property and not following rules.

House was located on a small lake that was perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddle board. Loved all of the water toys, boats available on the property. We brought our own wood for the fire but there was some there to use. The deck has a wonderful view of the lake and lots of chairs-we spent most of our time outdoors due to beautiful weather.It was nice to have 2 separate living rooms . Game room was fun for the kids however, the ball return was not working for pool table and foosball. A little maintenance on air hockey, pool table and foosball would make the game room perfect.Kitchen was large with huge dining table so we could all eat together. Gentle suggestion for host-please provide one empty cabinet for food storage. Large refrigerator/freezer was nice with beverage fridge in garage.Unit has 2 large washers and dryers so it was not difficult to have towels washed and dried as requested.Would definitely stay there again.

A perfect weekend getaway

This property provided everything I could have wanted for a nice weekend get away with friends and family. We had 14 guests stay very comfortably. It was quiet and remote enough to be a nice relaxing change of pace from the city life, but also close enough to town to get all the groceries you need and close to a very nice ski resort! The hosts had impeccable communication and check in and check out was a breeze. Would definitely consider staying here again!

Wonderful Family Getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property for our extended family of 15. Diane was great to work with and responded to our every question and need. The house was extremely clean and well stocked. The lake access was wonderful. We really appreciated the use of the kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boat, and canoe. There were a lot of nice life jackets also as well as other floating toys. Fishing was fantastic! The kids were constantly catching bass and panfish. A few keepers but mainly fun to just catch and release. We loved being able to rent the pontoon as well. The house had plenty of sleeping space for 8 adults and 7 kids/teenagers. The pool table, foosball, and air hockey were also a huge hit. The 2nd refrigerator in the garage was great for our drinks. We also loved the large dining table so everyone could eat together and it was great for playing games as well. It was also nice to have the two patio tables on the deck. Great to use for morning coffee and visiting. We would definitely stay here again.

Family vacation of fun

Great Lake house for a family vacation. We had 10 adults and there was plenty of room. Most of our time was spent in the water which was warm being a shallow lake. We used the kayaks, sups and paddle boat daily. The trees could use some limbing to see the water better. But there are still beautiful views of the lake from the deck. The house had everything we needed. We had a fantastic relaxing week. Would stay here again

We had a wonderful week at this house on the lake! It's a quiet, friendly street for walking the dogs. The house is beautiful with a well-appointed kitchen. Terrific game room. We enjoyed using the kayaks, paddleboards, and paddleboat on the lake every day. The deck looks straight out to the lakeshore, and we spent quite a lot of hours eating and talking and watching the grandkids from there. Just a beautiful week for us in every way. Thank you!

Frozen Wisconsin lake right out the back door! The house is will appointed and stocked. anyone who enjoys ice fishing or access to snow mobile trails would find this a great location. Town of Watoma is only minutes away . The property hosts were very responsive and helpful. FYI- the downstairs bedroom with bunked beds is small and would be appropriate for children but not adults.

Great space for get together with friends

We had 13 people in our group, including 4 kids (ages 4 to 12) and 9 adults. There was ample sleeping space and plenty of space to eat and socialize. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked so we didn't need to bring anything. We came in the winter so didn't get a chance to use the lake but the garage and yard had a couple kayaks and canoes so it looks like it would be fun in the summer. There was an extensive checkout list but it wasn't overly burdensome so don't let that scare you off.

Great Family Retreat

This is our second summer of hosting our family gathering at this property. Our experience here continues to be excellent. This year we had six adult children and 7 grandkids (9 and under) join us for most of the week. The owners are a delight to work with and are very responsive. Everything we needed was already provided for us: a beautiful house with plenty of room for all. We had just one half day of rain, the games and game room provided kept even our little ones busy. We appreciated the updated dock. A bonus are the plentiful amount of fish right off the dock, easy for little ones to catch!

Rawlsky Reunion

Our mother is turning 95 in September and is at the Heartland House in Wautoma. This was a sibling reunion coming from New Hampshire, California, Idaho, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin, and an early birthday celebration for Mom. We had a wonderful time! Fishing, swimming, paddle boating, paddle boarding, eating, sitting on the deck, telling childhood stories and pontoon rides. It was easy to get our mother and her walker in the house, and out onto the deck, and she enjoyed meeting her great grandchildren. The building was spacious, and the kitchen/living room was our favorite gathering place. There were even two pie plates to make birthday peach pies for Mom! So much fun that we are talking about trying to do it every year. Thanks again for everything!

Beautiful home for families to gather

We enjoyed everything about this beautiful home and property! We had 12 family members together to celebrate an 80th birthday and the home was open and spacious and had lots of gathering spaces for all 12 of us to come together to eat, talk and reminisce. Not only is the home beautiful, the setting is as well with a lovely view of the lake and we were pleased with the lake "toys" available for us to use, i.e. kayaks, pedal boat, etc. The only thing I would mention is that the listing says the home can accommodate 20 and I would caution that it seems like a number that is too high....especially if all the guests are adults. We had 12 adults and that seemed like a maximum for uncrowded movement in the living areas and especially for sleeping. We ended up putting 2 6-ft tall family members in the bunkbeds and they struggled a bit :) However, for kids that would work just fine. Again, for us, we loved every minute of our stay and would highly recommend staying in this beautiful space for a family gathering.

Great Property, Wonderful Lake

We stayed at this property 2 years ago and again this year for the 4th of July week. David and Diane are wonderful hosts and great communicators. Their pontoon worked perfectly for us. We played games in the basement too. The foosball game didn't get used and was kinda in the way so we tried to move it to give us more room for other games. Billiards was the game we played the most. Sadly, a load bearing post for the house structure was right in the way of more than a few pool shots. We worked around it and still had fun. Inside, the property was clean and spacious; kudos to the team who prepared the property for our stay. Outside, we could see how some things had been let go since our last stay 2 years ago. The trees had grown and were now obscuring the view of the water, and for us the fireworks show too. The deck and the furniture outside was dirty and we needed to clean it off before it would be usable for our group. Some of the deck chairs are also in poor shape and not comfortable. The rain gutters are plugged and water from a previous rain was dripping on me as I did yoga on the deck in the morning. My elderly parents stayed with our group, and they had difficulty navigating the slope terrain down to the water for pontoon rides. A better step system and a secure rail would improve this property. All in all, this place rocks and my group loved it and we had a lot of fun. Thanks for the bonding time memories =)

About the host

Hosted by Diane Bond

Host profile image
We are Diane and Dave Bond, owners of Bonding Time LLC. Dave's day job is in health care, and Diane quit her health care job to manage the business. We have two wonderful grown daughters, and two young dogs that keep us busy.
Our cottage on Lake Irogami was a vacation home until a few years ago when we decided to move here full time. We loved the area so much that we bought another one two years ago, that we ended up renting out. Then when we saw this home for sale in 2019, we decided it would be great to renovate it and finalized the purchase on Jan. 31, 2020!

Why they chose this property

A beautiful travel through the country to our dead end road means this is a safe place with low traffic. Such a benefit that it is only a 5 minute drive to the downtown grocery stores, or to the area Supper Club's! The house is clean and renovated with new high end furnishings. The kitchen and bathroom have all the supplies you'll need. There is a gentle slope to the water that most grandma and grandpa's can navigate, has a little "beach" area near the shoreline, a fire pit and wood provided at approximately 5 pieces per day, and will not charge extra for the many indoor/outdoor toys and life vests that are supplied. The upper deck has an amazing view, as well as the walk out basement game room, and plenty of outdoor seating or places to run and play. Plus, there is a pontoon boat you can rent for a fee.

What makes this property unique

We are different from some other property management in the area, in that we really do care about the best interest of our guests so they have a five star experience during their vacation. We understand how precious time is, and often vacation days from work are limited ... so it's important to us that you are thrilled at how you chose to spend those days. There are many things that set us apart, including: prompt communication, excellent customer service, many indoor and outdoor "toys", gas grill and firewood included in the price, the ability to offer a pontoon boat at a minimal fee, and welcoming Fido to be part of your family trip! An added bonus: we have the property sprayed for Mosquitoes and ticks ... so you, your family and pets can enjoy the outdoors without dousing in bug spray.
