Relaxing Waterfront Home on Elm Island Great Fishing on Lake Tichigan\/Fox River
About this house rental
Situated in Waterford, this lovely house for $188 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath home on Elm Island bay off of the Fox River in Waterford, WI. This home has all of the charm of an up-north cabin, but is fully updated and just a short 30 minute drive from Milwaukee and less than an hour from Chicago's northern suburbs. Single story home with little to no stairs required to get to the water less than twenty steps from the back door. Wood burning stove and tongue and groove pine finishes give you that up north feel, but all of the updates will make you feel right at home. Laundry on the living level and two full bathrooms offer convenience and comfort. Sleeping arrangements for 10 if needed: Master bedroom features a queen size memory foam bed, 2nd bedroom facing the water has a bunk bed with full size mattress on the bottom and a twin on the top, 3rd bedroom has a bunk bed with full size mattress on the bottom and a twin on the top, and living room couch pulls out into a queen size sleeper sofa. Kitchen table seating for six or seven people, with additional stools and eating area at the island. All kitchen appliances are less than 5 years old, including refrigerator, stove, and over the range microwave. Bring your fishing poles and swim trunks - the Fox River and Lake Tichigan are abundant with Largemouth Bass and Catfish, and provide plenty of opportunity for Bluegills, Northern Pike, Walleye, and an occasional Trout. Lake Tichigan is great for swimming or boating, and there are more than one restaurants accessible by boat and provide docking. Bring your own boat and keep it on the private pier or take advantage of the two complimentary kayaks. Elm Island bay is a shallow low-traffic bay off of the Fox River and is home to swans and abundant wildlife. Fishermen frequent the bay in search of Largemouth Bass, Bluegills, and Catfish, all of which can be caught right from the pier. Swimming in Elm Island Bay (off the pier) is not desirable due to shallow water, lillypads, weeds and mucky bottom. In the evening you can have a fire in the back yard or in the house, but the furnace will keep you warm if desired or central air is there to cool you down. Ultra-fast 60 Mbps Wi-Fi and 46" LED TV will keep you entertained if the fishing and lake cannot. YouTube TV HD with approximately 80 channels available and also HD upconvert DVD player. Please come relax and enjoy all that the beautiful Fox River and Lake Tichigan have to offer year-round.

Stayed for a few nights and had a nice stay. Home was comfortable, clean and definitely had a cabin on the river feel. Large and open living, dining and kitchen with comfortable beds in each bedroom. Awesome view onto the fox river - will definitely look for Grant’s home for our next visit.

I had the most wonderful experience at Grant's Place near the water! The location was simply breathtaking, offering stunning views that created the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The hospitality was exceptional, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The cozy accommodations, combined with the soothing sounds of the water, made for an unforgettable stay. I can't wait to return to this hidden gem and create more cherished memories. Highly recommended!

The place was excellent. Everything was clean, and Grant was very responsive and an excellent host. The location is right by a lake, and there is a grill. I booked it for a weekend getaway for me and my friends, and it was the perfect place to relax.

We had a nice little vacation here! There were five of us: 2 college kids and a high schooler. We brought our Kayak and paddle board and used the kayaks at the property (they have 2). My husband and daughter said they loved the kayaks! Though the weather was hot, the air-conditioning in the house kept us nice and cool. The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty seating for both dining and relaxing. The firepit is nice to sit around, although we didn't have a fire, due to the hot weather. We absolutely loved that we could bring our dogs and let them explore the fenced in backyard!

We had everything we needed for a perfect family getaway. The home was large, open and clean. Everything we needed was supplied. Grant even left us coffee and a bottle of wine! We enjoyed fishing from the pier and cooking on the fire pit. A fenced in yard was a bonus to keep the kids and dog safe.
We were even able to rent Grant’s Tiki Barge for a trip on the river. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is exactly what my boyfriend and I needed. The home was clean, well stocked, and the views were amazing. There are delicious restaurants nearby, and plenty of things to do in town. We booked on a rainy weekend but got lucky and had the sun peak out Saturday so we went out to the dock and caught some fish!! The host was amazing, even called the day we were coming up to check in and introduce himself. We can’t wait to come back and stay longer next time.

The house had everything we needed to make and enjoy meals together, have coffee on the deck, relax by the fire, and enjoy movies on the big TV. A great spot for a quiet, relaxing long weekend.

Enjoyed staying at this property once again. Can't beat a fenced in yard for the dog. He loved staring down the geese and swans. I have said it before, but Grant is one of the best hosts anyone will deal with. At a point, the weather wasn't too cooperative, and he offered his personal basement as refuge, due to the area being under a tornado watch... Thankfully we did not have to utilize that. 😁 The property itself is a great jumping off point to visit area attractions in Milwaukee, Lake Geneva, Burlington, Menomonee Falls... We'll be back!
5.0
can't really ask for more. Pet friendly, fenced yard, 3 comfortable bedrooms, fully provisioned kitchen, waterfront, great views, easy to find, hard to leave, fish were biting, swans and pelicans and geese (oh the geese!) made for a great time. And then there is the moose...

I really enjoyed my time here. It’s a beautiful place that has everything you could want for a relaxing break from the city yet still conveniently located if you want to go out or get groceries. Grant was a wonderful host as well. I look forward to staying again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable beds. It was great to spend time in Milwaukee during the day and then come back to a nice quiet place to relax at night. Loved it!

The property was exactly what we needed! There was a cool lake cabin type vibe, with updated amenities. We had plenty of room to sit and talk and watch the fire in the wood burning stove. We even cooked a good old-family traditional dinner one night.

Nice property for our local winter getaway. We enjoyed the cozy cabin, especially the wood burning fireplace. Would definitely be interested to visit again and experience in the summer.

My co-workers and I stayed a few days to relax yet focus on our department planning for the year. We did take time to visit the downtown and nearby towns.
Pop's Pizza was amazing!!

Thank you Grant, even though we couldn't ice fish we had a wonderful time. We want to come back for my birthday in the summer to relax and do some fishing. Your place is beautiful.

We were visiting family in the area so we didn't spend a lot of time at the property, but the time we did have was enjoyable. We were 6 adults and liked that there were 2 bathrooms. The fenced yard is nice and if we had visited in the summer we likely would have enjoyed more time outdoors. I'm guessing we might be back, and would not hesitate to rebook.

Enjoyed a great 3 night stay with family and friends. Communication, check-in, and check-out went smoothly. The home had all the amenities extra linens we could need in the kitchen, bath, and bedrooms. We were able to make homecooked meals and enjoy the fire pit every day. The kids and dogs loved playing in the yard and on the pier. We were pleased to be able to enjoy World Cup games and movies on their smart TV. We brought board games and puzzles for a fun and relaxing stay. Great place for families!

Great location. Fishing was great. Enjoyed walking around the quiet neighborhood. Good restaurants nearby. Excellent host and the "cabin" itself was just wonderful. I would definitely come back to stay again!
5.0
Our family truly enjoyed our stay. The girls say it was their best vacation! They loved the bunk beds, playing in the backyard, and cozy mornings together as a family. The neighborhood is quiet, so it was a relaxing space while close enough to the bigger cities where we explored the local hotspots. We loved the free, budget-friendly options offered in Kenosha! Thank you for an enjoyable time away before baby number 5!
