Vacation rentals with a kayak in Dodge County

My family enjoyed the 4th of July weekend at Mary's house on Beaver Dam Lake. The house has plenty of space and the back yard has beautiful views of the lake and you can watch the jet ski performers who are just on the other side of the bay. The grassy area has plenty of space for yard games. We rented the pontoon boat and really enjoyed boating around the large lake with multiple islands. This is an older home with some beautiful feathers but some minor quirks. However, Mary has made several updates and appears she is continuing to update the Airbnb. There are a few things from the listing and pictures that were tough to tell - the stairs and bathroom have low ceiling/door clearance, myself and my brothers are 6'2" to 6''5" and frequently hit our heads in a few places (anyone over 6' will have to remember to duck in several spots, including the kitchen fan). There is not a regular size dishwasher in the kitchen, which should be considered depending on the size of your party renting this 5 bedroom house. There are air conditioners in 3 of the bedrooms and in the living room.

Our stay was as described and overall was a great weekend at the house. Just odd of the owner to decide to only supply little or none supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, dish soap, etc. and for us to have to supply those items to help keep their house clean. We’re adults, not a big deal, we went out and got those. But an odd choice to cut costs on supplies to keep a house clean and place getting those supplies on the renters.

The cutest lake house with absolutely everything you could possibly need (including a goodie basket to welcome us). The kitchen is extremely well stocked for cooking, lots of fun yard and lake toys. Cute decor, plenty of space. We loved it!

We had a very nice stay at this lake house with a larger group. There was plenty of room for everyone, inside and out. The large porch was great, as well as use of a gas griddle outside for cooking meals. The house is very whimsicaly decorated, albeit a bit cluttered. The house was clean, but can have a musty smell due to the moisture of being by the lake. If you have a larger group, keep in mind there is only one bathroom. We visited during a very rainy year, so the yard was quite sloppy and parts were under water. So if you plan to use the yard or frequently walk out to the dock, you'll want waterproof shoes. The lake is also shallow and warm, and it was quite green. There were kayaks to use which was a great feature, but the water is not appropriate for swimming if that's something you're planning to do. The house is also pretty close to neighbors, as most lake properties are. Overall this was a great lake house with lots of room and amenities.
