Lakeside life at its best!

5 Starr was a spectacular home. Brigitte sets you up for success from check-in to departure with detailed instructions. She was also extremely responsive. The home was breathtaking. The lake was beautiful. The house was equipped with everything you need. It's very comfortable and zen. We spent our time enjoying the magnificent views and reading. It's quiet, clean, and decorated beautifully. You feel like you're at home immediately. I highly recommend and will be back.

My family of four traveled for a quick fall foliage tour mid October. We used this house as our base instead of staying at multiple places. This meant we drove a little more each day but we got to wake up and come home to this magical place. Seriously. We wanted to come home early each day to spend more time here. It’s quiet, enchanting, spotless, and filled with charm. I cannot stress how beautiful and peaceful it is being directly on the lake. We will definitely be back.

When the opportunity to have an impromptu family reunion fell into place just weeks before the 4th of July, I told my partner that I wanted to find a lake house to recreate memories of childhood summers in Northern Wisconsin on Lake Minerva with father and my brother. What I wanted was a place to unwind, to reconnect with nature, to rediscover simple pleasures, like sitting on the dock, or on a screened-in-porch. A place to talk, read and play old games at night. In 5 Starr we found all of that and much more. The house is beautifully put together, with ample common space tastefully decorated with just enough splash of lake and 3 cozy bedrooms each with a view of the water. The loft sleeping area is a great add, perfect for kids. The kitchen is well appointed, with all the basics and more. We did just fine on the grill alone. Crystal Lake is glorious. We swam, kayaked, canoed, fished, swam, and sat for hours on the dock. Watching the neighbors blast off fireworks all around the lake was a special treat, but not nearly as spectacular of the nightly sunsets and the playful light sparkles on Crystal Lake's rippled water. Our host was exceptional. Timely, accurate and detailed texts helped make the whole process smooth and stress-free. When we encountered a minor problem with the grill, we had an immediate reply and helpful suggestion that got us cooking again in minutes. For anyone looking to retreat to the woods by the lake, I highly recommend 5 Starr!

This special lake house completely exceeded our expectations and the photos shown. The setting is magical private peaceful. The kitchen wonderfully stocked with anything a cook could want. Beautifully decorated and The beds linens towels like you are at a 5 Star resort anywhere!

The cottage was incredible - perfect layout, accommodations, and attention to detail on all of the features and fixtures. You can tell that the owners are experts at design and building. I would absolutely stay there again.

Property was very nice.

This isn't a cabin on a lake, it is a multimillion dollar property with high end appointments. High tech radiant floor heating, expensive woodwork/doors/windows ect. The setting is perfect, private peaceful lake. Great property.

Cozy, modern, well appointed and clean cottage with a very picturesque setting

Great place and very well maintained and kept. Beautiful!

We really enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous house. The location was extremely peaceful and private. House is tastefully decorated and well outfitted with most everything needed- even fishing rods and life vests for the kids. The lake was very clean and serene…. Just wonderful. This lake does allow motors so be aware that jet skis and other loud water sports will likely be present. The only thing worth mentioning is that the house does NOT have air conditioning. I was disappointed in that as we stayed in July and it was unbearably hot. Too hot to be inside at all during the day past 9am, at least on the main level. The downstairs level remained slightly cooler, thankfully, but not by much. Sleep was more difficult due to extreme house temperature. Had I known there was no climate control for air, I would not have booked. It’s just something that at this price point and with a fairly new build, I assumed would be standard. The owner suggested keeping all windows open during the evenings to let the cool air in, yet most of the windows did not have screens. Overall, we had a relaxing time. Would suggest the owner stipulate in listing description that there is no air conditioning.
