About this house rental
Grape Island Getaway, locally known as Bishop Island, is a unique, private island with a beautiful stone home built in 1900. It is the perfect landing place for a family vacation. You and your guests will be the only ones on the 4.2 acre island! It truly is a PRIVATE ISLAND. It may only be accessed by boat. Due to the midwest winters, Grape Island Getaway is only available May through October each year.
Although the exterior maintains the 1900 charm, the interior is newly renovated and can comfortably sleep up to 15 people. Main floor has primary bedroom with ensuite, a gorgeous kitchen including: double ovens, an induction cooktop, and plenty of space to cook and hang out, a dining area, fireplace and living room with leather reclining couches. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, including a kids' bunk room with its own bathroom, and another bathroom. Internet is included as well.
Outside there are plenty of activities to keep everyone happily busy. The 669 acre lake has pristine water, and should you choose to rent the island, you will have full access to a pontoon boat for the duration of your stay (pontoon rental alone would be $200 a day!) With 2000 feet of shoreline, Grape Island Getaway has prime fishing - make sure to bring fishing poles to catch walleye, blue gill, crappie, and large mouth bass-perfect for a fish fry. Not into fishing? There is a great sandy shore for swimming or launching kayaks - three are included. You will not be disappointed with Grape Island Getaway!

The early 1900 house on Bishop island was full of history mixed with modern convivences, The house porch was the biggest hit as we all gathered on the screened in porch to reminisce and share life stories with each other. All together we had 22 people show up for our miny 49th and 50th pledge classes reunion of Rochdale Co-op Purdue University. Thanks again

The property was just as listed. We really enjoyed being the only people on the island and our trip was a unique, wonderful experience. There were many items provided (boat, kayaks, linens, towels, kitchen cookware, soap and shampoo, etc.) and the host was very quick to respond to all communication. We made some wonderful memories and would love to return!

We loved this house. The size and amenities were amazing. The kitchen was to die for. A little wonky on some of the fans and lighting. The pontoon provided is basic but gets the job done. It’s a hike from the water to the house but we had young kids that carried the loads for us. Communication was great. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful old historic home, great for big families and easy to use. Really nice kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. Loved the big enclosed porch area, lots of play room. Having the pontoon available made it extra special.
