Crystal clear lake with a private beach and gorgeous views

This was our family’s first major vacation and it was absolutely perfect. Todd was very accommodating and helpful. The water is crystal clear and there was plenty of things to do to keep the kids busy and happy!

Great stay and space for our family

We had the best time ever in August 2025! The best part was the lake - warm water, sandy beach & lake bottom, and clear water. You can’t beat the views from the house or down by the beach. We loved having access to the canoe, 2 kayaks, a paddle boat, and many pool toys/noodles! This home would be great for all ages as long as you can do a few stairs. We loved the variety of sitting areas: little cabin on the sandy beach, picnic table on the beach, bench on the pier, big kitchen table for meals and game nights, big living room with 2 recliners, screened in porch, a deck overlooking the lake, and a front deck with chairs. We also laid on the pier for stargazing and watching the Perseid meteor shower. This location was great for walking our small dog. Wautoma itself was a real gem! We went tubing at Pliska’s Crystal River Tubing, got 3rd in trivia at Trading Post on Wednesday, went for ice cream at Milty Wilty’s, went hiking at Bohn Lake State Natural Area, had tasty pizza at Christiano’s, and went for fish fry and clam chowder at Moose Inn. We would recommend all of that! We enjoyed seeing hawks, hummingbirds, deer, a black squirrel, and turtles. We have been to many lake vrbo’s and this was our favorite due to the warm, clean, sandy lake! The owner was helpful and responsive! Check in and check out went well. The kitchen was well-equipped! Great water pressure and air conditioning. Loved our trip!

Check in was easy, AC was nice since it was really hot outside. Lake is beautiful. We really enjoyed the bunkhouse by the lake… great for playing games. Screen room and deck are nice with great views. Only issue was lack of water pressure which owner did his best to fix during our stay.
