Villa von Baumbach - Trade Screens for Stories

Step Into Another Era on Elkhart Lake
There are thousands of vacation rentals with fast Wi-Fi, giant televisions, and modern furniture.
Villa Von Baumbach isn't one of them.
Built in the late 1800s and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this remarkable home is believed to be the oldest remaining cottage on Elkhart Lake. For generations, one family carefully preserved it—not to freeze it in time, but to allow future families to experience something that has quietly disappeared from most vacations.
Life without distraction.
This isn't simply a place to sleep.
It's a chance to remember what summers once felt like.
Wake to the sound of birds and gentle waves instead of phone notifications. Sip coffee as morning mist drifts across the lake. Spend the day swimming from the dock, paddling the vintage canoe, fishing, reading in a lakeside chair, or walking into the village for ice cream and dinner. As evening arrives, gather around the dining table, challenge one another to a game of ping pong, build a fire, watch the stars appear over Elkhart Lake, and enjoy conversations that somehow last much longer than they do at home.
Tomorrow, you'll do it all again.
Designed for Gathering
Villa Von Baumbach comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests in six unique bedrooms spread across three levels.
The home has welcomed family reunions, milestone birthdays, Road America weekends, annual traditions, and generations of summer vacations. It was built for people to gather—not just occupy the same space.
Inside you'll find original architectural details, period furnishings, cozy gathering rooms, an inviting fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and spaces that encourage conversation instead of screens.
Downstairs, the game room has hosted decades of friendly ping pong tournaments and rainy-day competitions.
Outside, the lake naturally becomes the center of every day.
Launch the vintage canoe or tandem kayak.
Swim from the dock.
Read beneath the trees.
Roast marshmallows around the fire.
Watch the sunset paint the lake.
Walk fifteen minutes into the charming Village of Elkhart Lake for exceptional restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, live music, and one of Wisconsin's most beloved small-town atmospheres. Road America is just minutes away, making the cottage equally perfect for race weekends or peaceful escapes.
A Different Kind of Luxury
Today's luxury often means more technology.
We believe true luxury is having less of it.
There are intentionally no televisions in the home.
The satellite internet is reliable for checking email, planning your day, and staying connected when needed, but it isn't designed for binge-watching or spending your vacation behind a laptop.
This home rewards guests who come here to be present.
If your perfect vacation includes endless streaming, working remotely all day, or staying glued to devices, another property will likely be a better fit.
If your idea of a perfect vacation is laughter around the dinner table, children discovering how much fun they can have outdoors, conversations that last long after sunset, and making memories you'll still talk about years from now, you'll understand exactly why Villa Von Baumbach has remained so special for more than a century.
Is This Your Kind of Vacation?
Villa Von Baumbach is perfect for:
• Families who value time together.
• Multi-generational vacations.
• Couples and friends celebrating life's milestones.
• History lovers.
• Road America enthusiasts seeking a peaceful retreat after a day at the track.
• Guests who appreciate historic homes and treat them with the same care and respect they would their own.
This home is not a party house.
We welcome guests looking for meaningful experiences, quiet evenings, respectful gatherings, and the simple joy of living by one of Wisconsin's most beautiful lakes.
Before You Book
Villa Von Baumbach has been thoughtfully preserved for future generations.
We ask every guest to appreciate its history, respect its character, and help us care for this extraordinary home so families can continue creating memories here for another hundred years.
If that sounds like the kind of vacation you've been searching for, we'd be honored to welcome you to become part of Villa Von Baumbach's story.
