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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Charming spot with wonderful lake view

This house is at the end of the road so it is very quiet and private. Lake views from everywhere. Nice big propane grill on deck and nice fire pit next to the lake. If you use map app it ends on cedar ave and then you need to make a right up the gravel road and drive to the end. I enjoyed using the ferry, but it can get backed up on Sunday afternoon going south. Best grocery is Festival food in Bariboo. The ice age trail is as close as a ten minute drive and devils lake and the glen are a short ride.
