To reach Kettle House, you drive across a short bridge to a wooded island. Follow the curved lane past three houses, stopping at the fourth to turn in the driveway and park. Walk across the lane and open the gate. Your vacation begins!

To enter the house, pass through the large patio where a top-of-the-line gas grill sits waiting for its next steak. Going inside,you’re in the great room with a wall of glass doors that open to a balcony overlooking the lake. In addition to a 46” TV, the living space offers a dining area for six. A fireplace is on hand to warm you on cool evenings.

Entertain yourselves with WiFi and cable as well as a docking station and games. The kitchen is newly refurbished and well-equipped for a cook. Two queen bedrooms and one bedroom with a twin over full bunk comfortably sleep eight. Kettle House has two full bathrooms, one with a jetted tub and Kohler fixtures; the other is freshly remodeled.

Because it straddles an island, the Kettle House property has two shorelines. A screened porch with a bar overlooks the shoreline in front of the house. Relax in the hammock overlooking the lake and enjoy the sunset through the trees.

The second shoreline, Down back, is across the island, where cedar trees make it shady and peaceful. A large grassy field beside this shore will invite your group to play ball or cornhole. Or, launch one of the two provided kayaks. Float toys, water games, and life vests are also available.

Sometimes you can hear racing over at Road America. Many track events are open to the public, and it’s only five minutes away. A public golf course is within walking distance, and the PGA courses, Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run, are a 20 minutes drive. If you enjoy biking, hiking, or snowmobiling, you’ll want to visit nearby Kettle Moraine State Park. Elkhart Lake is just up the road, and there you can stock up at the farmer’s market, enjoy the charming shops or eat at one of the town’s good-to-excellent restaurants.

    We love staying at the Kettle House. It is so much fun for the grandkids. They just love swimming in the fresh, clear water and jumping off the lily pad. I think this is the best swimming spot on the whole lake. We also love the sunroom to relax in too. The boys enjoy fishing and caught more fish right from the dock this year than out in the lake. We always have a great time here and can't wait for next summer to come back again.

    We had a great time again this year. The weather was warm and sunny for the most part. We spent most of the time swimming and kayaking. We loved jumping/diving off the pier into the water. The Lilypad was also hit this year. When we weren't swimming, we were hanging out on the deck watching the boats go by or in the cottage watching tv or playing game. We will definitely rent again next year. Tim

    We usually stay here in the summer but chose a fall trip to just hang with friends and fish. As always it was a relaxing time. This is a great little house and we love it.

    We've stayed on the island before and it never disappoints. We had a great time again this year. The weather this year was perfect. We spent most of the days swimming and kayaking and the nights playing games and watching tv. We really enjoyed the new lily pad. We can't wait to rent it again next summer.

    We recently stayed at this lovely home on Crystal Lake Island and had a fantastic experience. The location is simply beautiful, just minutes from Road America, which made our outings convenient. The property was immaculate and had a quaint charm that made it feel like a true getaway. One standout feature was the thoughtful provision of a starter set of supplies. Given that we flew in, it was incredibly helpful to have bottled water, shampoo, body wash, coffee, plenty of TP and PT, and even Tylenol, Advil, and allergy meds (among other things). This level of consideration is beyond what we've encountered in other VRBO rentals and was greatly appreciated. The home itself had ample space for our group of five, with two stunning lakefront areas to relax and enjoy the serene views. The neighbors were also very friendly, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. Everyone in our group slept well, and I particularly enjoyed the lower bunk bed where I slept. The sheets were soft, and the bed was comfy. A particularly nice touch was the water softening system. Hard water is common in Wisconsin, at least at the places we've stayed, but this property has a water softening system which I do believe helped with showering. Google hard water if you're not familiar.. Soaps and shampoos seem to never rinse off. Overall, our stay was delightful!! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-appointed retreat near Road America!!
