Cozy lakefront cottage with modern comforts - 30 minutes from NFL Draft 2025

OPEN FOR NFL DRAFT! Our lakefront property is 30 minutes away from Lambeau Field. Avoid traffic on 441 South by going 441 North to HWY 29 towards Shawano.

Welcome to fun and relaxation at the lake all year round! Perfect for family and friends.

WINTER:
Live in a winter wonderland with ice fishing, snowmobiling, crafting/quilting and loving the view of freshly fallen snow. Multiple Indoor electric fireplaces will keep you cozy on cold nights. Shawano Lake is known for its ice fishing. Fish on the lake include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye and Sturgeon. Christmas lovers - the halls are decked out for your holiday!

SPRING:
Embrace the emergence of nature by listening/watching the birds, kayaking, paddle boarding, and enjoying bonfires. Packer fans - we're just a 30-minute drive from Lambeau Field (NFL Draft 2025).

SUMMER:
This vacation home is idyllic to bring your family to go fishing, swimming, play games, watch sunsets and make memories. The cottage comes with a dock to tie your boat, and is close by to a boat launch. No boat? No problem! You can rent a boat at American Marine. The land is flat in the backyard to the water. The water is quite shallow towards the end of the dock, perfect for children to swim in or to sit in with a chair with a cold beverage. We also have two adult kayaks, two kids kayaks (up to 130lbs), a water mat, and two paddleboards for your use. New whole house air conditioning and individual window AC units (for 2 or 3 bedrooms) will be arriving in Spring 2025, just in time to keep you cool for the summer.

FALL:
Enjoy the stunning fall leaves changing while warming up to a campfire, or going on ATV adventures. Packer fans - we're just a 30-minute drive from Lambeau Field. The dock cannot be guaranteed between October 13 until late spring.

YEAR-ROUND:
Enjoy board games/books for all age groups as well as a dartboard. Located on the south side of Shawano Lake, several grocery stores, restaurants, breweries, casinos, golf courses, ATV/snowmobile trails, bowling and shopping areas are just a short few minutes away. Indoor fireplaces and outdoor fire pit will keep you cozy any day of the week.

End of Summer Family Vacation
Great view of the sunset! There was plenty of room for the 4 of us, and we could have brought many more people with us. They had everything we needed to cook all of our meals, the only thing we couldn't find was a marshmallow roaster, but we didn't check the shed. We rented a pontoon boat from American Marine, and enjoyed spending our days floating away on the lake. There was a lot of seaweed so we weren't able to swim from the dock, but it was great to tie up the pontoon and watch the sunsets. There is a Wal-Mart and Aldi just down the road and the downtown was cute with some nice shops. This was our first time on Shawano Lake so we didn't realize the houses were all so close to each other- it wasn't overly busy and the neighbors were nice though. daydays floating on the lake.

Our shawano vaca
We’ve never had so much room and we’ve been renting cottages all over the state since the mid 90’s. We had room for our yard games. Could easily get in touch with the hosts. Only issue was kids couldn’t play at the shoreline because of the mucky sand. But we took boat etc off shore a bit. They also loved the fishing off of the dock.

So many things to do in all weather!
This was our second time renting this property on Shawano Lake, and it was as wonderful as the first! The weather was not as cooperative this time, but we had plenty to do with all the games, large TV for movie time, fire pit, and all the outside amenities when the weather was nice enough to hang out by the lake. The location is perfect for sunsets and bird watching. Loved it!

This cottage was by far the best we've stayed at in the area. The owners thought ahead to the needs of the renters,from toys to coffee filters. The only thing missing were directions to the TV and thermostat for the technically challenged. (us) Would go there again!!!!

Fabulous weekend stay!
Our family really loved our time at Jenny and Kyle’s lakefront cottage. The home is set up to host large families, and our kids made the most of getting their own beds on both main/upstairs bedrooms. The kitchen was equipped with every bowl/pan/appliance we needed. Our family really enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks which we could enjoy right from the dock. The owners obviously care about the details!! We had a few hiccups in our schedule during our stay and our hosts were super accommodating, available to field our questions. We would love to book again!

Shawano Weekend 2023 was AWESOME!
My family and friends get together for a long weekend every year the weekend after Labor Day weekend. This year was exceptional because of our cabin. It was perfect for 8 adults and a baby and we honestly could have had more people fit comfortably. I have one friend that is very particular and even she said we should rebook this cabin every year! It is absolutely beautiful and the location is great. Thank you for the hospitality.

Family getaway
We absolutely loved this lakehouse getaway! The place was so cute, very open and updated look, and plenty of room for all of us to sleep, eat, and hang out. Kyle and Jenny were great hosts and were fast to communicate when we reached out with a question. Their rental property description is very detailed of what was all included, which I appreciated, because we were able to make sure we packed what we needed. LOVED being right on the lake. The dock was in great shape/safe for the kids, were able to tie up a boat, and offered other lake toys (water mat, kayaks) to use while there. We felt it was a very quiet area, which was great for us. Would absolutely want to rent this place again the the future!

The kids were never bored, and slept so well after a long day of play, which gave the adults time to relax as well. It was just prefect and we would definitely stay here again!

Family Return to Shawano
We had an awesome time staying here for a trip back to Shawano. Our family grew up on the lake for many years and this was our first time back together in almost 20 years. The location was perfect - actually just down from our grandparents old house, so it was very nostalgic for us. They have all the fun toys for the water ready for you. We had plenty of space to have friends and family join us throughout the week. And the neighbors are super nice as well! Definitely would stay here again.
