Tiny Red House on Lake Delavan

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 54 reviews3 weeks ago

We hardly know where to begin! Originally, we chose this place as a little escape from the city and a spot for our pup, Roo, to run and explore. However, The Tiny Red House far exceeded our expectations in every way! To start, the yard was absolutely perfect. On top of that, the area is filled with beautiful, dog-friendly trails, making it an ideal getaway for nature lovers. As for the house itself—it was by far the most well-stocked Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at! No other rental even comes close. We also fell in love with the location—close enough to the lake for convenience yet peacefully tucked away for privacy. To say we had a great time would be an understatement! Thank you for such a wonderful stay! We truly appreciate the thought and care that went into making this place so special.

'The Lake Escape' Lakefront House Near Ski Hills

5 out of 5 average rating, 58 reviews3 weeks ago

We chose this location because we wanted to be near our daughter who just had a baby. The home had 2 large bathrooms with endless towels, not to mention spacious bedrooms with comfy bedding. Perfect for up to 10 people. The furniture was in fantastic shape and the kitchen had everything you could ever need to make a meal for a large family. If you don't mind waking up to the beautiful views of the lake, visiting bald eagles and American Pelicans, this is your place to sneak away!
