Great Stay On the Lake

We had a wonderful time at this Castle Rock Lake property. The view is amazing and the house was very clean. The extra sunroom is a great space and there was plenty of room for 6 adults. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and items for cooking your own meals. Don was very responsive when we had questions. The fire pit was perfect as it was nice and cool when we visited. Would definitely recommend!!

Awesome Place

We had a wonderful time at this property on Castle Rock Lake! The views from inside the house and outside were exactly what we needed to get out of the city life. Downtown Dells was a quick 35 min drive so we went to town one day. I highly recommend renting their boat as well. It was awesome to have for the entire day and sunsets on the water. There are a few pull up beach bars to get out and enjoy some food, drinks, sand and water. The sunsets were breathtaking! The hosts were awesome and everything went off without a hitch! We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Schwass 2022 family vacation

My family and I had an amazing time at this lake house. The house is perfect, so nicely decorated, spacious, comfortable, very clean, everything you need to make some great meals. The views of the lake were breathtaking! The outdoor seating was perfect, big table and chairs to gather around deep seating area, fire pit could not have been better. Don and Stacie were fabulous hosts! I wish to thank them for opening their home to us, and the sweet welcome basket on the kitchen table when we walked in was much appreciated. Also being able to rent their boat was over the top! We would definitely return!

Wonderful Waterfront Property!

Thank you, Don and Stacie for sharing your beautiful lake house! It was the perfect place for my family’s vacation. You made us feel welcome the moment we booked our reservation. It’s very clear how much you love your property and how much you want your guests to have an outstanding experience and stay! The house fit our family of 7 adults and 2 children. It was spotless upon arrival. The kitchen is fully stocked: we cooked 2 big breakfasts and 1 big dinner. Our favorite things were enjoying the sunsets from the backyard, playing games at the large dining table, cooking s’mores and telling stories around the fire in the backyard, and cruising around the lake in the pontoon. Thank you again! Hope to be back soon!

Waterfront Wonderful!

The Hogan's Lake House was the perfect setting for our first family vacation with extended family. The lake front property provided endless hours of fun! Our 5 day stay didn't seem long enough with all of the opportunities the house and area provided. The swimming & fishing off of the dock was a highlight for all! We couldn't bait the hooks fast enough for the kids catching one after another :) The house was fully stocked with all of the essentials and all of the furniture was beyond comfortable! The lake house was spotless upon arrival with very simplified arrival instructions allowing getting settled in a quick process...& getting on the water within minutes! We will definitely be booking this property again!

Very clean rental home with an amazing view of the lake.

The rental home was very clean and well furnished. A welcome basket was waiting for us when we arrived, which was a nice touch. The view is amazing. We came in late March when the lake was still frozen in spots and it was too cold to be outside for very long and it seemed like we had the neighborhood to ourselves. The house had everything we needed for a quick getaway.

Nice house, modern and clean - rocky lake, not direct access to lake

Everything was really nice, the house is decorated with a very nautical theme. There are a lot of nats and mosquitos by the lake in the evening, so definitely bring your bug spray. The property is very modern and inviting. The lake is right there but it is rocky and I brought my dog with hoping he could jump right in but there is no sandy beach there or a way for him to get in and out. We walked about a few blocks to another little beach access and got him in the water. Please note- there are no markets nearby, this place is definitely in the country. There are some cute places to eat nearby like Costa Ricky's but for grabbing some convenience items, it is pretty much the Citgo.

The Lake house was very nice and beautiful sunsets were amazing! We also rented the pontoon boat, it was very relaxing being on the water. If you are a coffee drinker you might want to bring your own coffee pot there is only a Kurig( I like more than one cup).

Great family vacation for 10!

My husband and I rent property every year for our summer vacation and this spot was a fantastic one! This year we brought my parents and their lab dog plus our teenager invited FIVE friends. (Yes, that’s 4 adults + 6 teens and a dog) We never once felt cramped or without anything we needed during our 5-night stay (even when tornado watches were announced and we found flashlights)! The kids took over the beautiful sun room with DVDs and board games and lounging, while adults stayed mostly outside enjoying the blue chaise loungers and the patio couch. There were plastic Adirondack chairs around the fire pit, a nice dock to fish off of and play fetch with the pooch, and an array of kitchen necessities for the various cooking and drinking we did. Both bathrooms were well appointed and updated with ample soft towels and good water pressure. The fridge had a really nice ice maker and filtered water, and was plenty big enough for all our groceries. The Bunk room was great for our teens and the many extra blankets and pillows allowed them to cozy up in the sun room. The AC ran frequently but kept the house cool despite many bodies moving about and doors opening frequently. There are updated ceiling fans in every room, and little touches too like extension cords in the bedroom and nightlights in the bathrooms. The owners clearly take pride in their property as they should because it’s a great space. We felt it was well worth the cost especially with the size of our party and the fact that we had so much room! *We did not intend to use Internet on this trip and while we did try to link in a few times, the speeds were 1/10th what we are accustomed to in MKE at home. That being said - we didn’t mind being untethered AT ALL and it forced us to pay more attention to each other. Thank you Don and Stacie for sharing your property with us. We really enjoyed our time, and the memories our kids made after a year with little contact together - priceless! They’ll never forget their time at your place 😍.

AWESOME PLACE!!!!

I recently stayed at this lake house with a group of 7 guys. It was amazing!! Everything was clean and set up to perfection. Pontoon boat to rent right on the dock was a must! Boat ran awesome. We had Zero problems with anything which is hard to say anymore. Customer service is very hard to come by these days, But that was not the case with these owners. They truly care about every detail of their lovely place and it shows! I will be staying here again in the near future with my family. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Great stay at Castle Rock Lake!

The place was wonderful! Right on the lake with amazing views. We stayed in the same home last year and noticed the owner had made some improvements. There was also a gift basket with items for adults and my kids. That was a very nice surprise. The listing seems to need updating. I assumed we could use the grill and when we got there the notebook with information said we should have marked on the listing if we wanted to use the grill. I did not see that choice on the listing. So we did not grill. Also, I received an email from the owners they had a pontoon that we could rent. We had already made reservations with a company on the lake. So we canceled them and paid for and rented the pontoon that was part of the property for two days. We couldn’t get the boat in the water because the electronic lift kept clicking and the light on the device flashed red. We called the owner and did all his suggestions to no avail. He was not able to get someone to look at the lift either day we rented it. That was very disappointing, but we were promised a full refund.
