Welcome to our lakeside retreat, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of Lake Tichigan. Newly installed pier offers the perfect spot for fishing or simply enjoying the serene views.
Swim or bring your own kayak or paddle boat to explore the 279-acre lake.
Lake Tichigan is a natural spring-fed lake that feeds into the Fox River. With a maximum depth of 63 feet and an average depth of 6 feet, it's a haven for anglers with various fish species including Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Trout, Walleye, and Catfish. Keep an eye out for the graceful family of swans that often visit the lake, adding to the enchanting ambiance.
Our pontoon boat is available for rent for $120/night
Garage parking will be available during your stay. The garage key will be available in the house as you checked in.
We would like encourage you to use the garage.

- This cottage shares the lakefront, pier and parking with our Cottage B.
- Smoking is not permitted inside the house, and marijuana smoking is strictly prohibited on the premises.
- As we are located by the lake, our water may have a distinct mineral scent. This is common in lake houses and is completely safe.
- Please be mindful of our sewage system and avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper, as the city sewage by the lake is sensitive.
- If you're interested in a leisurely outing on the lake, we offer pontoon boat rentals at $180 per night (only for summer season).
- During the May-June season, lake flies are abundant. They are harmless but can be an annoyance. They typically disappear within two weeks and are a food source for fish in the lake. It is important to keep windows and doors closed at night, as they are attracted to bright lights and can enter through screen doors.
- Keypad: Enter the code and then press "Unlock." The code will be sent to you 2 days before check-in.

Meet The Host

As a regular family with big dreams, we know firsthand the joy of owning a lake home. And we love nothing more than sharing that joy with others. Hosting guests at our lake house isn't just a business for us - it's a way to teach our kids financial literacy, responsibility, and the importance of hard work. They're always eager to help out with chores and cleaning to ensure that our guests have the best possible stay.
But it's not all about work - we also love adding personal touches to our home to make your stay extra special. Sometimes, you may even find scavenger hunts set up by our kids for your family to enjoy!
Whether you're looking to spend your days lounging by the lake or exploring the surrounding area, Good Times Lake Homes has something for everyone.
