About this property

This PREMIER PROPERTY is called About Time, celebrate spending time together with your favorite people. Time is the best gift we can give one another. Sleeps 16 comfortably but could accommodate up to 20 if you want to sleep on couches. This 5 bedrooms (2 downstairs), 3 bath house on Lake Elizabeth, has a large yard for lawn games, private pier, basketball court, corn hole, LOTS of games and is surrounded by a gorgeous conservation area with 1.7 miles of hiking trails - true beauty!

For swimming, we recommend taking the boat to the sand bar on the south side of the lake or driving to Twin Lakes beach on Lake Mary 5 minutes north.

A gormet Chef is available if desired, otherwise, grill out back or down by the water, relax in the hammock or fish off the pier, whatever your fancy - swimming in this spring fed lake offers the best of the best. Bring your rafts and water toys. Only 1 bar/restaurant (Sand Bar) on the lake, so it is quieter and with 750 acres, perfect for water skiing and fishing. Catch the water ski show on Wednesday and Saturdays @ 6:00 during the Summer in Twin Lakes, WI.

We love to recommend out favorite Yoga instructor and massage therapist for the girls getaways and Twin Lakes Boat Rental for the boys boat fun.
They deliver directly to our dock.

Lake Geneva is 15 minutes away and worth the drive for a paddleboat tour. Alpine Valley is 12 minutes away, Wilmot ski hill is 7 minutes away, Six Flags and Gurnee Outlet Mall is 25 minutes away. It's About Time you enjoy the place as much as we do. Welcome!

Family get together

We had about 20 extended family members for a winter get together, on a Saturday afternoon. The house met our needs perfectly- we made many great memories, shared across generations. Jeff was very easy to work with and communicative, u would recommend for anyone looking for an easy, chill time.

Great owner, outdated house

Owner was very responsive and welcoming upon arrival. The house itself is very open concept and ideal for the summertime where you aren’t spending a lot of time in the house. The house itself, however, wasn’t ideal. The kitchen and main living room area are great. Improvements can be made in the living room where the tv doesn’t have basic cable and an outdated smart tv that really only works with the Roku ‘Live TV’ free channels that nobody watches. Bathrooms are littered with personal belongings in the closets, but towels for the showers are located out in the hallways. Refrigerator in the basement is filled with leftover food/venison in the freezer, which is odd. A lot of personal belongings and personal items, pictures of the owner and his family hang throughout the house. A fine house which was reasonably priced, but the vibe felt more like we were couch surfing in somebody else’s house rather than a welcoming vacation rental prepared for guests. Hot tub didn’t work, and the owner said he would notify his ‘hot tub guy’, but we never heard back. With kids in our family, the hot tub was the main reason we booked this house in the wintertime. I would probably decrease the price/night for future guests if the house is kept at this standard in the winter months.

Family Christmas Party

Wonderful location directly on the water. Well stocked and clean. Great location for quality family time. Peaceful in the winter I bet it’s even more fun in the summer. Sandbar marina and restaurant right down the lake and they will deliver a rental pontoon. We will go back in the summer. Hot tub was very nice.

Great place and great host!

If you are thinking about booking this place - do it! Especially for bigger groups, the price is worth it. The main floor was big enough for all of us to hang out in and the lake view is *chefs kiss*. We will be back for another family reunion. Thank you Jeff!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Martin

We bought this place as a get away that is not too far away. I can drive there in 52 minutes from our Chicagoland house. We bought lots of water toys and would like to share them with friends and family. We welcome you and hope you enjoy About Time.

Why they chose this property

We spent years researching where we wanted to buy and this spring fed lake provides the cleanest water and the best fishing. We love water skiing and we don't want a busy lake, so we picked Lake Elizabeth and couldn't be happier. If this one is booked on the dates you wanted, check out our other place on the same lake, https://odis.homeaway.com/odis/listing/f0495c39-dd59-4d18-b7f5-b0bb96eb23ef.c10.jpg . Property #4779200.

What makes this property unique

We like to watch the swans come by, we love the peace and quite of the South end of the lake and the cat-tail Islands that we can kayak around. So scenic and beautiful. Regardless if you rent from us or not, this end of the lake is worth adventuring to and it's a beautiful place for a weekend, a week, or a month. The sun sets are the best!!!
