About this property

Lakeside Cottage With Pier, Great For Family, Swimming, Fishing, Close To Dell's

Winter fun for the family is great too!! We have skates, mini skis, snow shoes and sleds for the kids! Give winter at the lake a try!

Bring the family and your fishing gear! We are on the lake! Cozy, beachy cottage with AC, heat, wifi and all amenities. No dogs please.
We are Inspected and Licensed!

Sunroom with beautiful view of the lake for stunning sunrise views across the lake. Long pier with a large "L" portion and sturdy bumpers on 2 sides for your boat. We also have 3 kayaks with life preservers which are highly recommended. This lake gets very rough very fast so wear those vests. We recommend to trailer your boat if a storm is coming.

We have 2 bedrooms, sleeps 4 to 9 comfortably. Very comfy beds! One room has a queen platform bed. 2nd room has a double platform bed and a bunk with futon double on bottom & twin on top and space for a pack n play. Sunroom has a queen sleeper sofa. One bathroom with stand up shower and an additional heated, private shower outdoors to clean up after a day at the beach or lake.

On the west side of Castle Rock Lake 75' from the waters edge and near one of the best fishing spots on the lake. 50' pier to accommodate your boat. Boat launch is 1/2 mile south by The Dirty Turtle. Boat rentals close by at Caslte Rock Watersports.

Our lakefront is great for swimmers and non swimmers alike with a sandy bottom 2 to 6 feet deep depending on variable lake depth or use the public beach a 1/2 mile walk away. Campfire ring by the lake. Deer, fox and other wildlife wander the property on quiet days and nights. Close to snowmobile & 4 wheeling trails and great ice fishing in the winter. Yard games and kids toys in garage.

There's an Espresso machine at our coffee bar and a bean grinder. We supply the fresh roasted coffee beans, flavor syrups and whole milk to make your favorite espresso, latte or cappuccino. You won't miss your coffee shop at all! We also have a Tassimo coffee maker for pod style coffees, cappuccinos and lattes. Bed Bath & Beyond or Amazon has lots of flavors for the Tassimo so bring your favorites for a great cup of coffee to sip on the pier or in the sunroom while watching that sunrise! There is still a standard 12 cup coffee maker and an 8 cup coffee press for more coffee choices.

Great restaurants around the lake area for steak, burger, pizza & sandwiches. 15 minutes from Mauston, 25 minutes from Tomah for smaller town shopping and more restaurants or 30 minute from Wisconsin Dell's.

Fully stocked kitchen, over the range microwave, full size stove/oven, toaster oven, slow cooker, bullet mixer/ blender, a giant non stick frying pan for a feast, and a large pot for a fish boil or pot of soup. Dishwasher, disposer, washer & dryer for laundry and weber kettle charcoal grill. And again a private heated outdoor shower to free up bathroom time.

All bedding & pillows provided as well as all kitchen linens. Bring your own hygiene items, paper goods, firewood and charcoal. There's a brick paver patio with picnic table (converts to benches) and patio tables and chairs for plenty of seating and a well lit yard and pier.

Fast WiFi that reaches outside!

3 TVs, 2 with Directv, Netflix and Disney+. There is a PS3 with Bluray & 1 controller (bring your own games). The TV with only a DVD player is in the bunk room, child friendly DVDs are on the shelf.

Amazing hiking and climbing just north at Petenwell Bluffs. One of our favorite spots! Across from The Woodbine Restaurant you'll find parking along 19 th Avenue at the intersection of Hwy 21 just before the bridge and a little further south. Gorgeous views of Petenwell Lake even if you can't make it to the top. Plenty of hiking if you're not into the climb but don't miss this day trip!

Great Location

We so enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The view was just beautiful. The host and hostess were amazing and they met all of our needs and wants. We enjoyed the deer in the front yard as they munched on the apples. they also got their needs met. The lake was beautiful and it was a very peaceful environment . They or the neighbor had an American flag on a pole with a light on it. It's nice to see such patriotism. The neighbor was nice also. Overall was a great vacation.

Peaceful with great pier fishing

Judy and Dennis are the most thoughtful hosts we’ve ever encountered. All we needed to bring was food and fishing poles. They supplied many condiments and great cooking equipment. We fished right off the very stable and large dock. We caught walleye, small and large mouth bass that were 8 to 14 inches long. We saw deer, a red fox and a bald eagle flew right above the pier. If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is the place.

Cute little cabin at a great location on a big lake. They have a yard with room for games, a campfire area, and a nice dock.They provided everything we needed and were very welcoming and responsive. They even had kayaks for us to use. Walking distance to the public beach and the Dirty Turtle for entertainment too. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful cottage and view!

Judy is excellent with communication. The cottage is comfortable and inviting. It's like being at home. Very family/children friendly. They have thought of everything you need for a comfortable vacation. We enjoyed a much needed family vacation on the lake relaxing, boating, and fishing. Fantastic backyard, dock, and view! The grandchildren loved the sand with sand digger and toys. We all enjoyed watching the deer and visiting with the neighbor. Truly like being at home away from home. Absolutely phenomenal!

A special place

We have been staying with Dennis and Judy for years now and run out of words to describe how special our time at the Cabin has become. They always have the cabin in perfect shape with all the details accounted for and there is not a better stretch of frontage on castle rock. The perfect place to let the stress of daily life fade away.

Terrific Cottage and Weekend

The Cottage view was FANTASTIC!!! Basically, there is two living rooms that both face the lake. One living room as two LARGE picture windows. Had all the amenities that anyone would need. Amenities from firewood, to coffee, grill, to aluminum foil. Great to be able to use the kayaks with ease. Would not change a thing!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Dennis & Judy Speckman

Host profile image
We have been married 40 years. We have 6 kids, 13 grandchildren. We are a 5th generation dairy farm family from southern Wisconsin. Our trips up here are usually short but always fantastic little get away's. So much to do and yet we so enjoy not doing much as well. Great place for quiet time, praying and bible reading, sunshine, snowfalls, swimming, kayaking, fishing, boating, hiking, animal watching, we just love it up here! It's close enough to our home for a day trip.

Why they chose this property

We've been visiting this area for about 40 years with family. We love the small town feel and yet a short distance from Wisconsin Dells. The swimming, fishing, boating, hunting and hiking are great. Sunrises on this side of the lake are stunning! We have been looking for a place of our own for our family. This cottage was an answer to our prayers and God's provision and blessing in so many ways! It went on the market on our 30th Anniversary and we knew it was meant for us.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful cottage! Previous owner did an amazing remodel job and there just wasn't much left for us to do but add our furniture. The sun room draws you in as you enter and it's wonderful to relax and take in the view.
Great views from the sun room
Great fishing spot just off our pier
Sandy bottom
Dead end road for quiet walks
Seeing deer almost every visit
Great cooking kitchen
Great restaurants nearby
