Summary: Everything was perfect during our weekend stay at the Back Porch Cottage in Green Lake! Our host Jo Ellen couldn’t have been more wonderful. The location was exactly what we wanted with an easy walk to the lake, beach, restaurants and bars. Our family really enjoyed our stay and hope to go back again! 5 stars!

Summary: We have enjoyed staying at Back Pond Cottage several times, and it continues to provide a wonderful setting for our multi-generational family of ten to be together while enjoying the beauty of Green Lake. JoEllen's lovely home is very clean, comfortable and welcoming. The great room with a cozy fireplace and the deck with firepit are great for group gathering, yet there are spaces for quiet moments or games as well. The home is furnished with anything you might need for an enjoyable stay. JoEllen is a great host, and we appreciate the updates she has made each year. We all look forward to returning next year.

Summary: We just enjoyed a 5 day stay at this beautiful home! Back Pond Cottage easily accommodated our crew of 10 people, ranging in ages from 7 years to the 70s. The home is within a block walk of Green Lake, the downtown shops and restaurants, and a 10 minute ride to multiple golf courses. Our host Jo Ellen is easy to work with, very friendly and responsive. We highly recommend BPC!
