About this property

Beautiful 8000 Sq. Ft. Log Home With 200 Feet Of Private Frontage on Kusel Lake

This large log home features soaring ceilings and fantastic water and woods views. Comfortably sleeps 20 with 10 bedrooms and 6 beautiful baths. Custom kitchen, leather furniture, large screen TV. 200 waterfront feet and 15 acres of land provide rare privacy on a sand bottom, clear lake. Great swimming, skiing boating, tubing, canoeing and fishing. Kusel Lake is in Waushara County and is a 90+ acre lake (including southest added are).

Enjoy a day on the water followed by grilling on the 2 tiered deck overlooking the lake followed by a campfire on the flagstone patio. Great hiking, biking and wildlife viewing. Many golf courses available within 20 minute drive.

Sorry, but no pets. A family member is highly allergic to pet dander.

Please note that the cleaning fee is charged at $35/hour and averages $300-350. There is a $1000 refundable security deposit that the cleaning fee comes out of with the balance returned once I receive the cleaning bill. The site lists the refundable security deposit as a cleaning fee, but it works as described above.

From mid-June to mid-August I rent friday to friday only bc that is the day my cleaners, lawn mowers, and handyman work at my place. For the first two weeks of June if you are interested in different check-in and check-out days, please inquire. Memorial day and Labor day weekends are 4 day rentals minimum.

Waushara County requires I obtain and retain for one year the name, address, telephone number and signature of every adult renter: since I hold a License to rent my cottage, and my cottage is inspected for safety, etc. per County rules. As such, after booking I email you the Rental Agreement on the site with your name and dates inserted so you can easily email forward it to your group for filling out and signing by each adult and return to me of signature pages. I know its an inconvenience but required by Waushara County for all Licensed Tourist Rental Houses. After receiving a booking request, I have to verify the number of renters and ages: or I can't accept the booking request.

The Rental Agreement has a liability release required by my insurance company for all renters to sign to release me from liability for any accidents of renters. All signatures are due back to me 90 days after booking.

Great Place and Customer Service

We had a blast with our group of friends and family members. 4 days/nights over the New Year Celebration just flew by us super quick. The place is beautiful and right on the lake. Plenty of things to do in and out of the house. Thanks, Dave

A truly idealic retreat

The home was a perfect spot for our family vacation. It comfortably fit 22 people ranging in ages from 1 to 80, and had something for everyone! The kitchen is well appointed with everything we needed to cook multiple meals for a large crowd. By far, the biggest hit was the lake and all the water craft our host made available to us. We are so grateful to have found this place. The host was outstanding in communicating as needed and graciously helped us out when several items were mistakenly left behind. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend this place! theEveryone loved

Amazing Cabin with a spectacular sandy beach!

David the owner met us at the cabin at the beginning of our stay. He showed us around and explained how everything works. The AC worked great and we were comfortable at all times. We have a large family: 25 people including me and my wife, our 4 children and their spouses, and 15 grandchildren between the ages of 3-12. We never felt crowded. The kids enjoyed the game room downstairs and the adults had plenty of space to relax. We had BBQ;s, roasted marshmallows, and enjoyed the lake. The home had a row boat, 4 kayaks, life vests for the little ones, and the sandy beach was ideal. A fantastic week !!!

Family Weekend

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! it had plenty of room for our large group! We really appreciated the large kitchen and living room for hanging out during the rainy weather. The only complaint we had was there were some repairs that needed to be done on the cabin that would have made our stay just a bit better.

Great place for a reunion!

We had a lovely family reunion here. Plenty of space, a quiet, remote location (but not too far from grocery stores and restaurants), and a nice lake for swimming and kayaking. Dave is a very personable host and went out of his way to help us get acclimated.

Nice rental, with a big caveat.

We had a nice time and enjoyed the property. There wasn't anything negative in that respect. However, the host's handling of the cleaning fee left a really bad taste in our mouths, and we won't be renting here again. The rental contract states that "The security deposit will be returned no later than twenty-five (25) days after the end of Rental Period to Renters, with any damage costs of cleaning costs required taken out of the security deposit." On December 8th, 24 days after our last day at the home, I still hadn't received the cleaning fee refund, nor had I heard anything from the owner about it. I messaged the owner, who said that his cleaner was sick and unable to clean the home, but he would ask about the estimated cleaning costs and send a check for the difference, then another after the cleaning was done. I received that check five days later. 11 days after that, I sent a message to ask if there were any more updates on the final amount. He told me he reached out to the cleaners' billing person but hadn't heard back. Two days later he said that he sent the final check and the cleaning bill in the mail, and nine days after that (yesterday, 52 days after our final day at the rental) I finally received it. While I appreciate that he was willing to send some of the refund based on an estimate, I do wish there was some communication beforehand. We split the costs of this rental between a large group of friends, which caused a lot of headache when we didn't know what was happening with the cleaning fee. Even a short message explaining the situation proactively would have been great.

Great weekend getaway!

Our family had a group of 18 ranging in age from 1 year old to great-grandparents and we all had a great time. It was a very comfortable space for that many people. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The only thing I would have liked to have was more chairs at the dinning room table so we could all eat together. We ate in shifts and it worked fine so it wasn't a big deal. Overall it was a very comfortable place. and a great experience. We would rent the house again

A perfect stay!

My family (14 adults, 6 kids) stayed over Labor Day weekend and had a wonderful experience! So much space - a bed for each person, plenty of play room for the kids, a large yard, and room for everyone at the beach. The beach is shallow with a small sand area which was perfect for our little ones. The house was spacious enough so the kids could sleep while the adults could play games and hang out without fear of waking them up. Dave was a great communicator and made us feel like we could reach out with any questions. Everyone in my family remarked how great the house was and we are working on plans to stay again!

Great family vacation

We rented the property for a family vacation. It was great having a stocked kitchen for making big family meals. Having a dock with kayaks and a paddle board made hanging out on the lake great. Sandy Beach down at the water was awesome! Shallow sandy areas for wading and some deeper areas for jumping off the floating dock.

Why they chose this property

This property is a unique, one of a kind property, due to its combination of luxury and privacy.

What makes this property unique

I bought a campfire girls camp in 1995 that was 60 acres on two lakes. I kept the best 15 acres and the best 200 feet of water frontage and built a large log home for my 5 daughters and large extended family in 2000. Now that my daughters are grown and spread out I decided to share some of the beauty of this wonderful place. . As such, the home is very private.
