Spend a week or two on the shores of Lake Michigan in the most comfortable "cottage" you've ever rented. There is space for everyone to spread out and relax. It is completely private with 160 feet of private beach. Relax to the sounds of the waves gently lapping at the shore, go hiking in the woods or strolling down the beach. Play a spirited game of pool or dream up a gourmet meal to prepare in our fully equipped kitchen. Explore the quaint shops of Sheboygan and the surrounding area. The home is available year-round and is centrally heated and insulated for four-season enjoyment.

With over 4,000 square feet of living space filled with tasteful, comfortable furniture, original art, and all the amenities of a four-star resort - but with the privacy and intimacy that only a private residence can afford, Anam Cara is unmatched by any other "cottage" for rent on Wisconsin's lake shore.

Enjoy any of Wisconsin's four beautiful seasons in comfort. Summer at Anam Cara is blessed by gentle shore breezes, verdant woods, a sandy beach and the world's third-largest body of fresh water right out the front door. Fall, of course, brings Wisconsin's famous color display, not only to our acres, but to Kohler-Andrae Park, one of Wisconsin's largest preserves just down the road. Winter at Anam Cara brings the quiet of the woods together with the fascinating daily changes in the look of the lake as it freezes and thaws. Winter sports include miles of prime cross-country skiing. Spring is a perfect time to watch nature renew herself before your very eyes.

Anam Cara has everything you need to create a memorable vacation.

  • 4 bedrooms, a dorm sleeping area on the lower level, and 3 full bathrooms.

Bring your canoe or your kayak for fun on our "gentle" side of Lake Michigan. Bring your small-size power boat and launch it at the nearby marina and "beach" it in front of Anam Cara for your stay. Bring your bicycles for miles and miles of picturesque riding. But mostly bring yourself and prepare to be renewed.
