About this property

Available May through September - Quaint and secluded cottage on one of Wisconsin's most beautiful lakes. Perfect for a week getaway or stay the whole summer. With excellent fishing, you can fish right off of our user friendly pier or hop in your boat and explore all Lake Wisconsin has to offer. Enjoy grilling out on the deck over looking the lake or making S'Mores down by the fire pit. If grilling out or eating in, is not your thing, then visit one of the many fine establishments on the lake. Either way, you'll be sure to enjoy and make memories that will last a lifetime. If you are an avid photographer or bird watcher, don't forget your camera. Between the sunrises and sunsets and the abundance of wildlife, you will capture photos that will speak for themselves.

Beautiful and quiet place!

The property is absolutely beautiful! Stunning lake front property perfect for a great getaway. The dock makes it so nice if you like to fish or dock your boat. It’s so cozy for crisp fall nights. The TV channel selection is excellent and the WIFI is super fast. Highly recommend and we will be staying again if available.

Peaceful location

Great little place! We were close enough to the Dells and far enough away to enjoy the cottage which was peaceful. The owner recommend H’s for us to try out pizza and it didn’t disappoint, the pizza was amazing so check it out!

Perfect cabin get away

This is a cozy, private cabin with a beautiful lake view. Perfect for a peaceful get away. Easy drive to Devils Lake for hiking and Portage for a day on the river. Plenty of nearby options for groceries, gas, and places to eat out. Definitely will be back!

Great Property, Great Stay

The property was great. Yard, views, and house were all beautiful and well taken care of. Also the check out process didn’t put to much on us to care of, making for an easy pack out. We also liked that the property is close enough to state park and Wis dells, but nit so close that you felt like a resort. We got cabin like feel on the lake but close enough to take advantage of everything the area has to offer.

Mesmerizing views!

We had a great time. Communication was great and immediate. Host thought of everything- even the last day, we would open a cabinet and find more thoughtful items, I.e. extra toothbrushes, extra towels, etc. Great views of the lake from the porch. Will defenetely stay again next year. Thank you!

Relaxing retreat

View was wonderful! Coming from a big city, we enjoyed the peace and quiet and slower pace. Great central location/hub to see the sights such as the Cave of the Mounds, Ringling Brothers, Crane Preserve, Frank Lloyd Wright house, the Dells, or just to hang out around the cabin. Dawn is very easy to work with. We had a great stay!

Beautiful/Relaxing

What a wonderful place for a ladies week away. We found the cabin very clean and well stocked. Gas grill ready to go & extra tank of gas available. Plenty of wood for the fire pit. We took our float loungers and enjoyed floating in the lake. Highly recommend this cabin on the lake.

Absolutely Beautiful!

This review is long overdue considering we were there last May. Nonetheless, my husband and I were there for two nights for his 30th birthday. We were looking for a quiet weekend by the lake and we got that plus so much more. The house itself is at the end of a lane so it really does have a secluded feeling. When we walked in, the house was immaculate! It was apparent the owners take pride in their property. The views of the lake were breathtaking and could be seen from the deck and inside the house. It almost felt like you were in a houseboat when cooking :) We had an amazing time having meals on the deck, sitting by the fire, and even used the paddle-boat one of the days. Thanks again for letting us stay at your beautiful lake house! We cannot wait to return soon!

Eager Future Guest

I have not yet had the pleasure to be a guest at this cabin; however, I'm very impressed with the pictures and the description offered. In addition, I love the response that the owner provided to the person who left a somewhat poor review. It is clear that the owners take great pride in their cabin and have spent a lot of time, money, and energy to give families the opportunity of a lifetime. Having two little girls, ages 2 and 4, I can only wish to have this experience some day (when finances are not eaten up by the cost of daycare). :) This is a good reminder to me to be grateful for what I have and respect that others for their efforts. Looking forward to being a guest someday!

Weekend getaway

Our family had a wonderful time for a extended weekend get away. Our boys had plenty of room to run, play and explore without us having to worry about cars or neighbors. And the inside of the house was perfect for 4.

Fabulous place to get away and relax

This little cabin reminded me of the cabin I spent summers in at Lake of the Ozarks. It's not fancy but it has everything you need to have a relaxing time on the lake. It's nestled in the trees at the end of a little gravel road, so quiet and peaceful. Dawn was great to work with, very responsive and provided basic necessities such as shampoo, laundry soap, dish soap, etc. Highly recommend if you're a simple person looking for a quiet get away!

Totally awesome

Property was everything as advertised and more! Everything we could have needed was supplied. From the upper deck overlooking the grounds and lake to the firepit with big comfy chairs right by the water we loved it all. Views in the morning and evening from the pier were what I dreamed about when I booked. Kayaks provided were great especially evenings and mornings! We will book again for 2023!

Great vacation rental right on the lake!

The house is right on the lake. Breathtaking views. It has a wonderful deck, screened-in porch, swing, dock, and great fire pit. Everything was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, it really had everything we needed. Has a huge yard, great for our dog. And a good distance between this house and the neighbors. And its about 20 to 30 minutes from all kinds of things to do. Other lakes, hiking trails, shopping, etc. Just wonderful, highly recommend.
