Property Description
Growing up my family rented a lake cottage in Wisconsin every summer. My sisters & I have wonderful memories of our family vacations. If I could relive one day it would be there at Lake Ripley surrounded by sun, water & love. Later my parents bought their own home by the lake. My children, nieces & nephews have fond memories of summers at their grandparents' lake home. When I inherited a small amount of money after my parents passed I decided they would be pleased if I bought a lake house to create memories for my grandchildren. In 2004 I purchased a cute little yellow cottage on Ackley Lake. In 2011 a storm sent both my neighbor's & my tree crashing on the cabin, one in the front and one in the back. The cabin was subsequently torn down and in 2014 I was able to help design the new home my way. The house was a dream come true and I adore it! I love the lake, the outdoors & gardening, which I do not have at the condo I now live in. Many fun summers have been enjoyed here; many memories

Supplements
were made for us all including the fun of squeezing 17 people inside for sleeping! But as all things go there is a time to let go and for me that time is now. I will miss my home, my neighbors, the lake and Paw Paw, but I do have beautiful memories plus thousands of photos. I hope whoever purchases my home cherishes this house as I do and creates lasting memories for themselves and their family. Spacious and cozy newer lake home.
Discover a charming newer lake home that perfectly balances spacious living with cozy comfort. This inviting property features three full bathrooms and can comfortably sleep 13 to 17 guests, making it an ideal retreat for large families or groups. The main level offers two bedrooms, a sunroom with a delightful sleeper couch and a screened-in room where you can enjoy stunning lake views from multiple angles. Downstairs you'll find a versatile room currently used as a bedroom, although it lacks a proper window plus another bedroom with a large window overlooking the lake. The expansive recreation room also looks out onto the water featuring a walkout basement that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living. Step outside to a breathtaking patio area right on the lake's edge, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A storage shed conveniently houses lake toys and the fire pit area invites cozy evenings by the water. This lake home truly offers a perfect mix of space, comfort and scenic beauty.
