Fabulous Lake House near Lake Geneva, 1.5 hours from Chicago!!

COME FOR THE FUN, STAY FOR THE MEMORIES!
Priceless memories await you at this one of a kind lake house on the waters of beautiful Powers Lake, WI. Just an 1.5 hours north of Chicago and 10 minutes east of Lake Geneva, this location is ideal for your next group getaway. Venture into the welcoming waters of the lake for sport or recreation, gather around the campfire for star-gazing and storytelling, or cozy up inside to enjoy one another’s company in one of the spacious gathering areas.

ADVENTURES AWAIT! PRIVATE SAND BEACH WITH PIER!
Sleep steps from your own private sandy beach, where you will be ready to tackle a full day of lake life adventure. Launching personal or rented watercraft is a cinch with a public boat launch nearby, and the properties private beach with pier provide you top notch access to the lake. Whether picking up guests to cruise the lake, jumping in the lake to take a swim, or casting a line in the water to catch the big fish with your kids, you may not want to leave the water! Powers Lake offers clear water and a popular sandbar in the middle where locals and visitors gather daily to relax. If the sandbar is not your style, stop by the Rock Bar II for food, drink and entertainment!

The list of outdoor adventure options are abundant, with cyclists and runners enjoying many scenic trails in the region. Circling Powers Lake on land is a very scenic journey that covers ~4.5 miles, and it is very common to see large groups of cyclists cruising through Powers Lake on the county road system. Within 10 miles, you can also access the White River State Trail (19 miles of trail) or the Lake Geneva Shore Path (26 miles of trail). If there are golfers in your group, there are plenty of golf courses in the area.

Shopping is another adventure where treasures are just waiting to be discovered at local boutiques and premium outlets alike. Lake Geneva and Burlington offer a selection of boutique shops just minutes away. There are plenty of name brand deals to be found at the Premium Outlets of Pleasant Prairie, which is a 25 minute ride to the east.

HOME SWEET HOME!
After you return home, serve up drinks at your own private bar, and spend quality time together. Whether the group hangs out in the spacious living room, or on the expansive outdoor patio, there is a comfortable space for everyone. The inviting living area includes plenty of couches, a big screen TV, foosball table and awesome views of the water. The outdoor patio includes multiple tables, chairs, and a gas grill for your favorite BBQ foods. In addition to the grill, there is a well equipped kitchen where you can channel your inner chef and feed the masses!

Traveling with multiple young ones? No problem! The sleeping arrangements are easily separated so the adults can get their rest while the kids stay up making childhood memories. As members of your group prepare for slumber, retire upstairs with sleeping accommodations for up to 14 people.

Cool place but the outside is not the safest for young kids
The history of the place was amazing, I wish I could learn more. Cool setup and space, spacious for lots of people. The private beach was nice for a camp fire at night and convenient for docking our jet skis. The yard space is small and there is a Main Street between the house and private beach that is busier than we expected so it kept me on high alert with our younger kids and dog.

Great Summer Getaway
Our stay at Old Mill was just what we needed. The house is very spacious & all bedrooms are upstairs. Our group included kids from under a year to seven years old. Having the beach right across the street was fabulous. The kids swam & fished while the babies napped. The home had every kitchen supply you might need & a 2nd fridge in the large laundry room. There are a phone chargers at several locations in the home which was so handy. The foosball table provided the whole family with some light hearted competition in the evening. We opted not to drop our pontoon boat into Powers Lake because the house is only 50 yards from the launch & the heavy traffic would have left the boat banging off the dock. Our stay was a perfect way to wrap up a very busy summer.

Family Fun over the 4th
Great convenient location (an hour away) for our family vacation over the 4th of July. Enjoyed this spacious accommodation, which was clean, well-stocked with all the essentials, plus wonderfully comfortable beds. We enjoyed the private beach & fire pit just across the not too busy road & were able to rent a pontoon boat & tour beautiful Powers Lake. An unexpected bonus was the lengthy fireworks display along the lake. Spectacular! Would definitely return for another visit.

Best family fishing trip yet!
This home is so close to the public launch that it was so convenient to launch and load. They have a dock for your boat as well, we had to charge batteries only reason we pulled it at night. The home itself was unique experience in my opinion. Simply loved it and so did my kids. They allowed pets which was the added bonus. The communication with the host was super quick and personable as well. 100% recommend. We will be back for sure.

Graduation Gathering
Wanted to come back for our son’s graduation and have a family get together. 6-7 people coming from out of town needed lodging. Plenty of space to host the group and more for a cookout with others. Spacious first floor with bar was great. Large back deck provided extra space outside. Grill was large enough to cook for a big crowd. Kitchen was well appointed. Upstairs bedrooms were comfortable and there was enough space for sleepovers if people had a long drive home and wanted to stay late. We didn’t use the beachfront because it’s early spring but the dock was great. Plenty of room for parking. Would definitely stay again.

Spring Break Getaway
I can’t say enough about our stay at the “Old Mill”! It was a great home base between our sightseeing adventures! Very convenient location to travel to Chicago as well as explore the local area. Although our trip was in March, we were still able to spend an afternoon enjoying the beautiful beach! What a sunset!!! We stayed with our four children ranging from ages 8 to 16. All of them had comfortable living quarters and lots of room to spread out and play games! There was a fooseball table, cards and other board games there for us to use which was great. My husband and I were able to take a few runs around the lakes and enjoy the beautiful area. The house was very clean and had a great hang out living space and bar area. We were able to get takeout from a local restaurant and enjoy some March madness basketball around the bar. Check in and check out was very easy and communication with Kathleen was also very timely and helpful. We would definitely book this house again… my kids are already asking me if we can go back this summer!

The lake house was perfect for our annual family weekend. Lots of space and sleeping arrangements let everyone spread out. The main floor has great open spaces to play games and relax.

Wonderful property
Our group of 14 that included 2 children and 1 dog had plenty of room at this property. On the main floor there are 2 bathrooms a large kitchen dining area, bar area, tv area and still more space! There are 2 large refrigerators which was super helpful. Kitchen was well stocked with plates, silverware, glasses. The only thing lacking was large cooking pots. The location was great, across the street from the lake which includes a fire pit and boat dock. Beautiful views of the lake from several windows and the large deck. Everyone in our group was pleased. The property was clean and beds were comfortable. Ceiling fans in each sleeping room. I do recommend to turn up the a/c before bed as it was a little warm upstairs.

Great Place
If you’re looking for a fun, quirky place, this is for you. The building was a roadside bar/restaurant that the owner lived above. It’s been converted to a house, but still has a large bar and wide open areas for indoor fun. My children hosted all of their cousins and everyone had a great time. The beach/lake access is very nice. Would highly recommend.

We had a great time! The property is spacious, clean, and great location! Beds are comfy, showers are spacious, beach is perfect. We will be back! We did bring our own Keurig because there is just a coffee pot. Which was not a big deal. The A/C was off on arrival and the house was over 80*, since the beds are all on the upper level it was a very very hot first night of sleeping. High recommend cranking the A/C and shutting curtains upstairs if there in the summer on a hot day!
