We loved our stay in Green Lake! The house was beautiful and just what we needed for a fun, relaxing girls trip. Jo Ellen was a wonderful host, checking in and bringing us candles when the power when there was a storm and the power went out all over town. I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage for your next vacation!

My siblings and I had a wonderful stay at this absolutely beautiful cottage. Meticulously maintained landscaping outside and thoughtful touches inside (creative welcome items, labels on the light switches & drawers, checkout list) made staying here comfortable (with everything we possibly needed) and reiterated just why this property has so many fabulous reviews. Tucked neatly back, it's proximity (walkability) to Downtown Green Lake and all it offers, is unbeatable. The highlight of this property was the large, well appointed deck with amazing sunset views of Green Lake. The smart and spacious layout of the home allowed for both large group gathering spots (the open kitchen/family/dining room) as well as cozy, private nooks for enjoying solitude. As a frequent visitor to Green Lake, I have long admired this property and it was wonderful to finally be able to stay and experience it firsthand. Thank you Jo Ellen for sharing your beautiful home with us. Our stay here was truly a taste of "The Good Life".

We brought our 2 teen boys and their friends for a 4th of July vacation and this was the perfect lake-side venue. Plenty of space for the 6 of us to enjoy the deck, grill, water side view of the fire woks and convenient access to downtown and marina. Great Space for group activities but also plenty of rooms to find your own nook for respite. Beautiful, clean, cottage decor and perfect location and access to the lake.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Back Pond Cottage Guest House. The house is immaculate, and we appreciate the care and attention that Jo Ellen has taken to provide a welcoming atmosphere. The house has everything you could ask for in a home away from home whether in kitchen furnishings, games, videos, or books.
The great room was a perfect place for all of us to gather as a group for meals and conversation, but there are also several places for quiet or private time.
We enjoyed the close to town location that allowed us to walk to town shops, restaurants, parks, and marina. We look forward to returning next year.

Family Wedding
My husband and I rented this home for us and our three adult children along with their partners and our one year old grandson. The home is located on a quiet street and is very welcoming and spacious with a beautiful view of the lake. There was plenty of room for us to gather together, and everyone had a nice private space too. We enjoyed time outside on the deck, by the fire, and walking into town. It’s conveniently close to food, shopping and the marina. We would definitely rent this home again!

Perfect lake getaway house for families
This was our third stay at the Back Pond Cottage and we can't wait to return. The home is clean and cozy and the layout is ideal for multiple families. We had five adults and two kiddos, ages 7 and 3. Lots of toys, games, and a cute reading nook for the kids. Large kitchen with dining table, plus outdoor dining, seating, and a fire table. (Don't forget the bug spray!) The home is a block from downtown Green Lake shops, restaurants and the marina. The owner Jo Ellen lives nearby and is so helpful - we stayed over Fourth of July weekend and she let us know what activities to check out. My family has visited Green Lake for many, many years and this home has been a fave find - we love it!

Fantastic house in a cute town with beautiful lake nearby
We had a wonderful family gathering at Jo Ellen's guesthouse. The house was super comfortable, clean, and well stocked. We had 9 people including 3 kids and everyone had a comfortable sleeping arrangement. The porch was lovely with a great view of the "back pond." We enjoyed the lovely yard and garden including the wood fire pit and outdoor gas fire circle on the porch. We also used the gas grill to cook several meals. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of utensils, cutlery, pots, pans, appliances, serving dishes, etc. You can tell the owners and caretakers take great pride in their property. Our family has a great stay and are hoping to stay again.

A great home away from home
This is the third time that our multi-generational family has stayed at this amazing home, and each time we appreciate and enjoy it as much or more than the time before. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, yet within convenient walking distance to the shops, restaurants, events, and marina in town. The lovely view of the lake adds to the comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. We especially appreciate the large space for gathering as a group as well as more tranquil spaces for peaceful enjoyment. Jo Ellen has provided a beautiful and immaculate home furnished with anything you could wish for. This year she has added new appliances to the kitchen and a great gas firepit to the deck. She is a kind and accommodating host who is great to work with. We all look forward to returning next year.

Another wonderful stay at the BPC!
This was our second summer in a row staying at the Back Pond Cottage. Perfect in-town location - a quick walk to the marina, shops and restaurants. Owners are nearby and so friendly and helpful. Home had everything we needed for multiple families with kids ages 1, 3 and 6. We’ll be returning next year!
