    Lower Level: Three additional bedrooms and a second bathroom provide ample space for family and friends.

    Outdoor Spaces: Enjoy morning coffee or a relaxing meal on the charming side deck off the kitchen while taking in breathtaking sunsets. Another deck behind the house is ideal for sunbathing, reading, or napping. The spacious backyard is perfect for lawn games like bags or croquet, and a fire pit invites cozy evenings under the stars.

Wonderful Stay!

We loved our stay in Green Lake! The house was beautiful and just what we needed for a fun, relaxing girls trip. Jo Ellen was a wonderful host, checking in and bringing us candles when the power when there was a storm and the power went out all over town. I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage for your next vacation!

Great house! Great location! Very clean!

Had a great week on Green Lake. This house is ideal location to town. Teens can walk and get an ice cream, fishing things, snacks, etc. House had everything you would need. Front screened in porch was great because the mosquitos do get quite bad at night. Would definitely recommend and we can’t wait to come back!

Our fave place to stay in Green Lake!

We’ve stayed at the Back Pond Cottage the last five summers and our most recent stay was wonderful like always. Jo Ellen is a great host, the home is clean, and the layout is perfect for two families with kids. Great deck with dining table and views of the lake, plus a fire table. We’ll be back!

Back Pond Cottage is a wonderful place for family or friends to stay while experiencing all that Green Lake has to offer. Our family has enjoyed the warm and welcoming home that JoEllen has provided for a number of years, and we always look forward to returning. This year we were grateful for the kind return of a forgotten item. This lovely home is furnished with everything you might needfor a relaxing and comfortable stay. Its in-town location is very convenient, and the views from the porch and deck are scenic and peaceful. We could not ask for more.

We did not use Fireplace. It was good view but of inlet and not the lake. The house was very clean and had great amenities. The only draw back was the trundel bed on the main floor. The matress was like sleeping in a hot dog bun. The pull out bed in the same room wasn't comfortable.Our group enjoyed our stay.

Perfect home in downtown Green Lake

This was our fourth year staying at the BPC with our family - 6 adults and 2 kids ages 8 and 4. It’s always clean and comfy with a great location in downtown Green Lake - near the water, marina, shopping and restaurants. Jo Ellen is a wonderful host and easy to communicate with. We’ll be back!

Excellent Stay at Back Pond Cottage Guest House!

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!

Backpond

Wonderful home and host. Had an issue regarding noise from a tree being cut down during our stay however JoEllen resolved it to our satisfaction. It was a little buggy at night which is to be expected being near a pond. House well stocked and thoughtful welcome gifts. Fire pit on deck was very nice as well. Very close to town which is very quaint.

Wonderful Home

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.
