About this property

This property is NOT lakefront. We are conveniently located between Lakes Michigan and Winnebago. I apologize for any misconception.

This 100 year old 1800 SF home is yours to enjoy. Whether coming for a Packer game (Lambeau Field), visiting a WW II submarine (Maritime Museum, Manitowoc), golfing at one of the 25 golf courses in the area, a history buff (Old Wade House), or a car racing fan (Road America), there is plenty to do in "Small Town, USA".

OR just relax, cook your own meals in the well appointed kitchen, enjoy a bonfire outside, or the wood stove inside. There are plenty of board games, puzzles, and cards also! Perhaps the deep claw foot tub beckons you for a de-stressing soak!? The Epsom salts, baking soda, and essential lavender oil is all provided.

All sheets, towels, and linens are provided. There is service (dishes, silverware, glassware) for 10+; a number of pots and pans; pizza stone; cookie sheets; sharp knives, utensils; cutting boards....but no TV !

Every rental party receives their own access code, so there is plenty of privacy. But we are only a phone call away!

Come and play, relax, rejuvenate.

Family Getaway

This beautiful old house was wonderful for our family. It had plenty of space for all of us to have our own rooms and the living areas were comfortable. There are a lot of books, games and music provided if it rains (which it did). Mary responded quickly when we had questions; many great ideas on things to do in the area. Overall, this was a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Growe

I love to travel. My passport boasts Spain, Germany, Mexico, Honduras, Greece, Japan, Czech Republic, England ,and El Salvador. I have traveled 40+ states...I know for sure I haven't been to Hawaii or Alaska.....but probably yours?

I garden :flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Not a master at any but enjoy the outdoors and the exercise!

I read mostly self-improvement/psychology, but also enjoy an occasional mystery or biography. I just like to know what makes people click...on AND off!

In my personal life...I have been married 46 years and have owned this home for 42 years. My husband and I raised our four children, hosted 3 foreign exchange students, and helped raise several foster boys in this home. I hope you can feel the love and welcome.

Why they chose this property

All I can offer is peace and quiet. Oh, and over 20 golf courses within 30 minutes, 4 observation towers within 40 minutes, 2 LARGE lakes within 20 minutes, numerous small lakes within 10 minutes, hiking and biking trails nearly from the back door as well as an outdoor (seasonal) aquatic center, tennis courts, basketball courts, and playgrounds.

If you are hungry, the well appointed kitchen is available as well as several supper clubs and restaurants in the immediate area.
