We love our lakefront property and our family has created many wonderful memories here! As your host, my goal is to help you create these same great memories with your family and loved ones!

Our lakefront cottage combines a peaceful and enjoyable "up north" setting yet provides easy access to many attractions in the greater-Milwaukee and Chicago areas.
Perhaps most important is that we work hard to connect with our guests to make sure their stay is memorable and enjoyable! We appreciate you choosing Red Bench Cottage for your vacation!
