Bender Haus-Elkhart Lake Home- 3 Bedrooms- Close to Lake, Golf & Racing!

3 bedroom home in the heart of Elkhart Lake! Perfect for your trip to Road America, PGA Tour, family reunion or summer vacation at the lake!

This single story home features three bedrooms with 5 beds. Master bedroom has a King, Bedroom #2 has a Twin over Full bunk bed (both Master and Bedroom #2 are located on the main floor of the home).
Bedroom #3* in the finished basement has a Queen bed. The main area of the finished basement offers two platform twin beds that can function as a sectional sofa or be pulled apart for additional sleeping space. Inflatable air mattresses are available upon request for even more sleeping options.
2.5 bathrooms guarantee a speedy morning for all. The laundry facilities are located on the first floor for convenient use.

Tastefully remodeled with hardwood floors, kitchen/bathroom tile and furniture. Eclectic artwork and one of a kind pieces throughout the home lend a personal feel.

A spacious kitchen with full refrigerator, gas stove/burners, dishwasher and all the utensils/cookware you will ever need. Lots of room at the dining table and comfy stools at the counter for the less formal meals.

Attached garage with parking for one vehicle. Plenty of off street parking as well. Why the Model T on the garage, you ask? That was a feature chosen by my Grandpa Chuck when the home was built in the 70's. It has become something of a landmark!

The best, finished ''retro" basement you have ever seen! Transport yourself back to the 1970's in the rec room downstairs that features a pool table, bar and console TV and quite possibly the coolest shag carpet, EVER!! No kidding! Well maintained and clean. (The rest of the home has been updated.)

The front porch is covered and is a great spot to sit and watch the sunset or have dinner for two, alfresco. The backyard is very private with mature hedges and trees all around. The flagstone patio is very large with plenty of space for dining, entertaining and relaxing. A charcoal grill is available for your BBQ/grilling needs.

About the town:

Elkhart Lake features fabulous restaurants that fit everyone tastes. Ask me for recommendations! Local shops offer everything from antiques, home goods, and local artwork to gourmet food and wine.

Elkhart Lake has crystal clear waters and sandy beaches that are perfect for swimming, boating and fishing. Water sport rentals are available nearby and public beach access is available at Fireman's Park for a minimal entrance fee.

Located minutes from Road America and premier golf courses. Sheboygan County was ranked third in the nation as golf destination by Golf Digest.

Guest are welcome to use these rooms but are aware that windows are not up to current egress codes and not covered under Tourist Rooming Permit.

Perfect in Every Way

The home was extremely tidy and clean in addition to being welcoming. There were no "shortcuts" anywhere. The little things were done right: great HVAC, great water pressure, zero funky or odd odors... for a couple of examples.The decor is a fun blend of modern conveniences with a whimsical nod to nostalgia. The main floor is comfortable with spacious bedrooms and plenty of room to gather and relax. The basement is equally inviting and spacious, with amazing retro carpet and fun amenities to enjoy, like the pool table.The accomodations for access to the property were well planned and thoughtful. We could come and go with zero concerns about re-entry. I would stay here every race weekend if I could. Being located downtown made our time after races super easy and worry free. Only 3 minutes from Road America, we would end our day by just parking at the house and strolling the downtown area for the evening. Perfect!Mandi was cordial, welcoming and helpful whenever needed. She is a very good host.Don't hesitate to book this property. You cant be disappointed.

Stayed for Ferarri weekend at Road America. Place was so close to the town, we were able to walk around and sight see. Mandi was also very helpful with some last minute questions about the visit. Would recommend for both going to road America or just visiting Elkhart Lake!

Interesting mix of modern and vintage

The house was clean and where we needed it for a race weekend at Road America. It was an interesting mix of modern and vintage though with a contrast between the basement area (vintage) and the ground floor (mix of modern and vintage).

Great Location Near Road America

Five of us stayed here for an open track weekend, and it worked out perfectly. House was great - clean, stocked with basic necessities, and close to the track. If I had any complaints, I'd say the pool table could use a little love, but we still had good time using it.
