Sugar Creek Lake House! - A lakefront paradise since 2009

For up to four adults, enjoy our newly renovated home!
Swim, fish, nature watch, BBQ and dream all night at the Sugar Creek Lake House.

Look forward to breathtaking sunrises and beautiful sunsets, 50 feet from the lake. Located ten minutes north of Lake Geneva, Sugar Creek Lake House is a year-round lakefront home with 70 feet of frontage on gorgeous Lake Wandawega.

Lake Wandawega is 119 acres--a great place for swimming and fishing. Spend the mornings fishing on the lake. Swim in the afternoon at our Association beach. At night, enjoy the sunset and fire up the BBQ from your massive porch. Don't forget to roast marshmallows and make smores at the fire pit on the lake.

The home has a warm, modern theme. The house has been completely updated with all the creature comforts of home. Two large flat screens and a DVD player, cozy heating, and comfortable air conditioning are some of the many pleasures that await you. Most outlets are equipped with usb plugs.

For best swimming, the beautifully maintained Association public sandy beach is near the Sugar Creek Lake House. As a very popular choice for vacationers looking for time away from the city, the Sugar Creek Lake House soothes the needs of people from all different parts of the world. Because of the proximity to Lake Geneva, a short drive takes you to shops, restaurants, marinas, boating, and more fun!

The Sugar Creek Lake House has been loved for years. A charming cottage, the house is located on a long narrow and partially wooded lot. The house is sunny and bright with Western exposures and has been remodeled with all the comforts of home. Make it a family tradition and come back year after year!

Not what's advertised and dirty

First impressions will always stick and unfortunately that was not the only thing that did. This place looked like it wasn't cleaned it smelled like it was never cleaned. And they charge huge cleaning fee? Interior renovated but I think they forgot to clean HVAC system. Musty smell of mold. Bugs in kitchen cabinets. Stains everywhere. Fingerprints on all mirrors. Bed linens was not convinced were washed. Has a potential but not with current conditions. Also picture of lakefront not accurate. Water lilly overgrown property shoreline. Can't fish or swim of the property.

lake

the condition of the lake was a little surprising. I understand there hasn't been adequate rain recently in the area, but when the locals state "oh, that's a swamp not a lake", was a little disappointing. Thank goodness I left my 17 foot wooden classic at home.

Nice, clean place to stay near Lake Geneva. Everything was as pictured and the host had excellent communication. It's close to Elkhorn, which we found a fun place to eat and liked the village. It was nice for a family without the business of downtown Lake Geneva.

Relaxing Stay

There are many great qualities about this lake home! The area is quiet and relaxing, it is a great location! We were able to easily get to many nearby destinations. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and then eating outside overlooking the lake. The beds were comfortable, always a plus! I definitely will come back and will recommend staying here! Thank you for sharing your home!

Quiet Getaway

Get place for a relaxing stay while our son played in a baseball tournament in Big Foot. The owner communicated through the whole process. Would have enjoyed a use of a washer and dryer but that did not hurt this rating. Overall would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Quiet Nature Haven

The house is rehabbed beautifully, very comfortable for my husband an myself, with fabulous nature views of the small quiet lake and wooded far shores , migratory birds and turtles and other wildlife. Great sunsets too. . It was just what we needed to simply relax and enjoy nature while I recovered from surgery. The fact that the house is a ranch with a huge deck also made it very easy for me to move around inside and out. Great relaxing stay, so close but seemingly so far!

Lovely, comfortable & updated

This property suited us perfectly. The kitchen has all the utensils and dishes you most likely need on vacay, the grill wasn't that hot but we managed, the furniture it nice, beds were super comfortable and plenty of linens were available. The fact that there were 6 adults and one bathroom worked out great also. I highly recommend this little gem. I ran around the neighborhood the next day, plenty of hills to challenge you. We did not have a vessel to go onto the lake but next time we hope to plan better.

Great property!

This is a very nice, clean house with a view of the whole of Lake Wandawega. It seems like very recently decorated. The sunsets were incredible. Everything we needed was in the house especially kitchen items. We cooked almost every meal for 4 days. We enjoyed kayaking (brought our own) around the lake, swimming off the "club" beach (a few houses down), built an awesome fire in the backyard fire ring. Adorable log stumps circled the fire ring to sit on (quite comfy). There was a virtually unlimited supply of firewood and kindling. We went golfing at Evergreen County Club which was very charming. We went to one of the car hop burger joints in town (Annie's) We brought our own Brita filter and jug because the well water was not too tasty and then it was fine. There are the downed willow trees in the shore of the property but we thought it didnt harm the view, it was a good shelter for otters (we saw) and turtles, frogs, and fish. The lake is pretty weedy so no large boats were on the lake but there were a few fishermen out with small outboard motors. We would definitely return.

Overpriced for what it is

Two large trees laying in water in front of property, not the view we were hoping for. Not indicated well water made everything orange including our hair from showering. Not very clean, grill didn’t work was we were all very disappointed in the property. Thankfully we had a busy weekend away from the house planned!

the entire process was exceptional

i have ovwe the years booked about a dozem vrbo bookings and this experience was on top in terms of responsiveness and general proactive hospitality which has not been my experience. The place was all that it was advertised but dont expect what is not in listing and the owner does make recommended suggestion pleaae take them as they will guide you to having a fulfilled esperience. My wife always wants the place warmer but the seetings for our trip in late December were right on as ww did not need any additional blankets. This is not a premium stay but the price and the up to date ammenties are great if you are looking for a clean, affordable and beautiful place to stay in winter but probably more gorgeous in summer to stay...book it!

Nice little getaway

My husband and I chose this place for a quick little fall getaway for us and our daughter. Overall, we had a nice stay and there’s plenty to do being so close to Lake Geneva. (Small) Cons: Firepit was not as pictured at all. Not sure when it was last cleaned out, looks like it’s been a while. My husband had to clean the entire thing out and cut his hands on some broken glass buried in the ashes. Actual firepit is mostly rusted away underneath. Looks great now though, for whomever uses it nextJ Also, bring your own camper chairs. There are logs you can sit on but not very comfortable and some had huge splintered wood that made them unusable. Deck was kind of scattered with patio pillows and summer floats, toys etc that were just left there from over the summer. Not a big deal but could have been cleaned up a little more. There’s an old paddleboat just sitting in the water that could probably be tossed or stored away somewhere else. Can’t use the fireplace inside the house, which I was unaware of at the time we booked. Lights in the bedrooms are super dim and batteries were missing from some of the remotes. Shades could be added in the main room so you’re not getting hit in the face by the sun every evening. Kitchen had the basic necessities. Couldn’t find a few small items we needed for cooking but may have been in one of the locked cabinets. We worked around it. No first aid kit that we could find. Pros: Great view! Would have been nice if the two trees that fell in the lake were removed, but still a great view to wake up to every morning. The inside of the house was ready for our arrival and super clean. An easy 20 minute ride from Lake Geneva. We ended up taking the long route every day to drive through the scenic roads on the way. Highly recommended if you go during the fall season. Area is quiet and pretty. There’s a small beachy area about 2 minutes walking distance that my little girl loved. We had to take her at least once a day. Owner was very attentive and checked in with us throughout our stay. Overall, we had a great time! We would definitely consider going again as a summer getaway next time.

We just had a wonderful long weekend at this property. It was a beautiful home with everything we needed. It was perfect for me , my husband and our two kids under 2. We did a little fishing and relaxed and explored the area and did a lot of take out. Thanks to covid, we just wanted new walls to look at and this was a much needed escape. The views were picturesque with the leaves changing and we couldn’t have been happier. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Would stay again.

Perfect family getaway

My family had a great time staying at this house! With all our summer vacation plans cancelled due to Covid, we were looking to find a relaxing vacation that would allow us to be safe/distance and still have fun. This was better than we could have hoped for! Everything about the process was easy, Phil was very responsive to communication. The house was clean and had everything we could have wanted. We ordered groceries and got take out/delivery a few times. The view of the lake was nice and relaxing. It would have been nice to be able to access the beach that's very close to the house, but the other beach was a very short (3 minutes) drive away and was wonderful. My kids loved jumping from the pier, the water is clean and shallow enough for the kids, the bottom is soft and sandy. We usually had the beach to ourselves, but a few times there were a few other people who were respectful of social distancing. Sometimes while the kids played, my husband and I took turns swimming farther out and relaxing on a floatie. It was so nice. If we went back we would have tried to bring kayaks or some sort of inflatable raft/rowboat to explore around the lake. The only (very minor) criticisms I have is that the beds were very, very hard (my husband was thrilled but I prefer a soft bed) and there could have been a few more pots and pans (a large frying pan would have been helpful). But overall, the property was perfect for a vacation. I've already recommended it to friends, and we would go back again, even without a need to socially distance!

beautiful retreat-like getaway

Our trip was a 3 generation girls trip! Grandma, daughter, and Granddaughter. It was perfect. We used the beach to swim and enjoyed the clean lake even though we could not swim directly in front of property, which was made very clear by the owner before we booked. We did not mind that at all. We enjoyed our morning hikes walking the neighborhood which was like stepping back in time! It felt very safe. The interior of the home was exceptionally clean. The property manager was very responsive. If we stay again I would bring kayaks to get around the lake. Id recommend bringing some tubes for floating in the lake when you go to the beach. The closest beach was closed due to extremely high waters and flooding but it looked like we would prefer the other one anyways. We ran into 2 other people there and the local families were such a treat to talk with. We'd like to come back in the Fall or Winter. Enjoy! Oh, go to Stillwater Coffee on your way in to pick up some great coffee! Also visit Terra Yard Creations, great little shop.

The million dollar view house

The house is conveniently located close enough to Chicago and to Rte 12, allowing for easy access to Lake Wandewanga, quiet and paradise-like. The interiors have been recently remodeled with a designer touch. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, everything works well. The property manager is always available to respond to questions and to adjust the temperature as needed (remotely). Can't think of a nicer, more peaceful and relaxing place close to Chicago.
