The perfect lake house for a family or a group of friends: kayaks, fire pit, gas grill, bags, jukebox, darts, bumper pool and sunsets on the deck. Near Erin Hills for golfers (15 minutes). Down the road from the Kettle Moraine hiking trails (10 minutes) and the Nashotah dog park (5 minutes). Several bars and restaurants within 5 minutes. The very best in lake life, outdoor life and night life. The space SLEEPING QUARTERS NOTE: We have 6 separate beds in this cabin: two queen beds and four single beds (sleeps a total of 8 people in beds). We also have a fairly decent pull out couch in the main living room if your group needs 10 spots for sleeping, although it will be a bit tight. MORE GENERAL INFO: The Airbnb is one of the only true log constructed residences on Okauchee Lake and is located on the Northeast corner of the lake, giving it access to both Okauchee Lake and the Oconomowoc River. The home was built in the late 1980s using logs imported from Montana. The house has 60 feet of lake frontage and has a full walkout deck off the lower level living room that looks out over the only part of Okauchee Lake that is a designated wildlife corridor. In this preserved area, there are 10 acres of undeveloped wetlands that contain several types of local wildlife. There's a reason we leave a set of binoculars at the lodge! INTERIOR FURNISHINGS: The home has new TVs, new bathrooms, new furniture, Nest thermostat and modern electronic appliances, and various improvements to the existing deck and outdoor spaces. We aimed to create a cabin in nature with some rustic charm, but without sacrificing any modern conveniences or amenities. The home itself is split over two equal levels, with each level being approximately 900 square feet. First Floor (Entry Level): When you enter the front door of the Elk Lodge, you walk into the heart of the home with an open layout. On your immediate left, you will find a kitchen equipped with an oven, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. We have both a regular coffee machine and a Keurig machine, as well as all the pots, pans, dishes, glasses and silverware that you need during your stay. Above the kitchen, you will find a new lofted bedroom that comfortably holds a queen size bed, loveseat couch and overlooks the main living room and out onto the water. Below the lofted bedroom and next to the kitchen, you will find a fully remodeled bathroom that services the upper floor of the house. On the right side as you walk in the front door of the Elk Lodge, you will see the main living area that includes a gas fireplace (with an on/off remote control), 75" Smart TV and jukebox with 100 CDs containing 80s / 90s / 00s hits. The couch is an oversized sleeper model that can hold two people if the three bedrooms are not quite enough to hold your group. Just outside the front door you will also find a gas grill and picnic table. At the far back corner of the first floor, there is a spiral staircase that takes you down into the lower level of the Elk lodge. Second Floor (Lower Level): Coming down the spiral staircase you will land in the second living room space of the Elk Lodge. This space is a bit cozier than the upstairs space, while still including a 65" Smart TV, full size couch and sitting chair. Tucked back around the corner from the living room are two bedrooms and a bathroom. The primary bedroom has views over the river and has a new Queen memory foam mattress. The second bedroom has dual bunk beds and a 58" Smart TV. As you can see in the pictures, this room is a kids paradise for nighttime or rainy days - just sign into your Netflix or bring your own gaming console and the kids may not leave this room (for better or for worse). Back in the lower level living room, there is a sliding screen door that takes you out onto the attached deck. The deck is 50 feet by 12 feet, and overlooks the water, providing the perfect vantage point to wildlife and wetlands. On the left side of the deck, the staircase down to the water (35 stairs) will get you to the dock where you can fish or launch the kayaks onto the water. Any questions, just ask! Guest access Guests will have access to the entire cabin and lake frontage, including kayaks at no extra charge. There are local boat rental companies that you can rent a boat from and park on our boat lift if you desire to have a boat during your stay. We are happy to put you in touch with those companies, just ask!
