.🏖 Shared Beach & Pier 🛶
This sandy beach and pier are private to the property, but shared with our neighboring guest cottage.
Please relax, enjoy, and share the space kindly.

Roche-A-Cri Lake is a 217-acre gem with a maximum depth of 20 feet—home to Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Walleye. Enjoy quiet mornings with no-wake hours from 6 p.m. to 10 a.m. daily. And with the public boat launch just 500 feet away, your lake adventure starts right here.

If you're considering a stay at Relax & Reset, you're in for a treat. Let me give you a rundown of what you can do at the lake and around Friendship, WI.

First off, Roche-A-Cri Lake is right at your doorstep. You’ve got a private pier and a sandy beach perfect for swimming, fishing, and just soaking up the sun. The lake is great for catching panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye.

Hiking and Nature: Just a short drive away is Roche-A-Cri State Park. It’s a gem for hikers and nature lovers, with scenic trails and ancient rock formations. If you’re into birdwatching or just want a leisurely stroll, this park has you covered.

Activities and Museums: For some local history, check out the Adams County Historical Society Museum. It’s a quaint place packed with stories of the area. If you’re into more active pursuits, ATV/UTV and snowmobiles are welcome on the town roads, so bring your gear for some off-road fun.

Dining and Nightlife: For a classic Wisconsin experience, Mo's Pub and Grill is the place to be. It’s known for its Wisconsin Fish Fry. If you want to venture a bit further, head to Rome, WI. There you’ll find fine dining options, a new local brewery, and even a bakery for some sweet treats. Bucky’s Bar & Grill is another spot worth checking out for a casual bite.

Forests and More Lakes: Beyond Roche-A-Cri Lake, you can explore the nearby Petenwell Lake, the second-largest lake in Wisconsin. Buckhorn State Park is another great spot for outdoor activities, with its diverse ecosystems and recreational opportunities.

Need extra space? Relax & Reset Guest Cottage is right next door—available to rent separately for larger groups!

Great cottage overall! Very spacious living areas and kitchen. Kitchen was older but well equipped and worked great for our group. Great deck and bonfire pit. Our only complaints were the yard and swimming area. Unfortunately, there were weeds throughout the yard with small, very sharp burrs that were difficult to see and we all (including small children) kept stepping on them - could not safely walk around the grass without shoes on. The beach was great! However the swimming area was extremely weedy so we did not swim much - we did take our paddleboard & floaties out well past the dock and enjoyed swimming out there. It would have been great (especially for the kids) to have the shallow area with less weeds. We did ask about this prior to booking (since the pictures also show how weedy it is) and the owner told us that the water gets "weeded" by the county once a month in the summer, so we must have been unlucky on our timing.

Great yard and view on the lake! Enjoyed the outdoor games in the games shed. Kitchen well stocked with pots / pans / utensils!

This cottage was great for all of our needs and had the charm of a lake house of the past. Very comfortable and easy to clean despite the private beach!The only issue we had was with consistent heat on the flat-top stove. I would plan to grill or use the oven if you are eating in.
