About this cottage rental

Near Cascade Mountain Ski Resort, Devilshead, Christmas Mountain!!! Great XC skiing nearby at Lodi Area Ski Trails and at Mirror Lake State Park. Great place to come back to after a day of skiing for a soak soak in the hot tub with a GREAT view of nature!

Rent this furnished cottage to enjoy the beauty of nature on the Wisconsin River and Lake Wisconsin. Conveniently located on shallow Lake Wisconsin waterfront with sandbars to wade to between Madison and the Wisconsin Dells, just 1.5 hours from Milw and 3 hours from Chicago.

Bring some firewood (or buy it locally) and have a campfire in the firepit next to the water!

This 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2-story cottage has a bright, clean kitchen and a wonderful open layout on the first floor. Beautiful views out the large living room windows look onto green, sandy islands, sandbars and the undeveloped distant shores of the Wisconsin River as it opens up into Lake WI. Explore the many channels, sandbars, and islands of the WI River and Lake WI.

Same owner as smaller cottage next door.

SPRING, SUMMER, FALL & WINTER Adventures! Green trees, sunny sand-bars, and a lazy river await you. Tucked off the main channel the cottage has the best of both worlds…easy assess to the big water, a great view of the water and sunsets, but little boat traffic. Because of our shallow waterfront location, the choice is yours, launch your boat at one of 3 nearby boat launchs and head left for Lake Wisconsin or go right for the Wisconsin River. You’ve got it all right here! You can launch your boat daily and spend an exciting day on the open water of the lake (too shallow to get a boat of any size into our channel but you can park your trailer in front at the end of the day) or a quiet day exploring the Dells-like bluffs and the nearby islands, coves, and backwaters in your canoe or kayak. The shallow water in front is great for kayaks and canoes. Explore the many channels, sandbars, and islands of the WI River and Lake WI. Relax with friends or family on the deck after a day canoeing or kayaking around the sandy tree-covered islands.

Enjoy shallow water fishing from the sandbar in front, from our canoe, or use a boat to hit several of the best local fishing spots all within 5 minutes of the cottage: The Narrows, Fockes Bluffs, Tipperary Bluffs, and Camp Rest Park. Good fishing for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, White Bass, Catfish, Largemouth, Crappie and more.

The cottage has a green lawn for yard games or for kids to run around in, plus just a block away is a park with playground equipment and wading beach, perfect for small children and dogs. Tennis and basketball courts are just a mile up the road. Bike riding opportunities on winding country roads in the area are fantastic. Up for a challenge? Circle Lake Wisconsin on your bike, it's about a 50-60 mile trip with a free ferryboat crossing as a highlight!

This two bedroom, two bathroom house has a full kitchen and an open layout. The kitchen is equipped with all you’ll need to prepare any meal you like…or grill out on waterside deck on the gas grill! Feeling lazy? Kick back and enjoy the 47” flat screen LCD HDTV, so...relax, sip a drink, even surf the web, and watch the river go by!

Beautiful views out the large living room windows and across the 16’x25’ deck look onto green, sandy islands and the undeveloped distant shores of the Wisconsin River as it opens up into Lake Wisconsin.

FALL & WINTER FUN! After the summer crowds leave you’ll find unique beauty and tranquility on the river. Tucked in among the surrounding bluffs and hillsides you’ll find gorgeous fall colors and dazzling winter scenery. Hundreds of wooded acres across the street are home to the Red Bellied Woodpecker, Wild Turkey, and White Tailed Deer, while the ever-changing river offers views of Sandhill Cranes, Bald Eagles, Beaver, and Muskrat. Scenic drives in all directions make interesting day trips more fun! Many nearby day-trip possibilities including the Wollensheim Winery, Wisconsin Dells, Devil's Lake State Park, Baraboo Circus World Museum, and so much more. Nearby ski hills include Cascade Mountain (15 min) and Devilshead Lodge (30 min).

So much to see and so much to do! Relaxing!

Fish for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, White Bass, Catfish, Largemouth, Crappie, and more. Many nearby day-trip possibilities including the WI Dells, Devil's Lake State Park, Baraboo Circus World Museum, and more! Great bird-watching!

Cozy little getaway place, great view, enjoy the hot tub, fishing, campfire, and grilled out on the deck. Did a lot of cooking in the kitchen to.

The location of this house is lovely. The back deck overlooking the very peaceful water was wonderful. We appreciated the gate on the deck so the dogs wouldn’t get off the deck when we didn’t want them to. We really got a kick out of the sandhill cranes calling to each other and we saw bald eagles twice.We used the house as a base for many hiking adventures in the area and the nature could not be more beautiful.A few things that weren’t great: the upstairs bedroom is only accessible by a very very narrow spiral staircase. The dogs wouldn’t go up there and my 78 year old mom, who hiked several miles a day with me and my sister and is very fit, was not comfortable in the stairs. If I had little kids I wouldn’t have liked them using the spiral staircase. I think that should’ve been disclosed in the description. The pans in the kitchen had scratched Teflon and I don’t think they are safe to use. We had to go buy disposable pans at the piggly wiggly. The extra sheets for the pull out couch (where I slept since my dog would’ve cried all night if I had gone upstairs since she couldn’t go up the spiral stairs) were threadbare and scratchy and the extra blankets were stained so I wasn’t comfortable with their cleanliness. The upstairs bathroom wasn’t clean.We were graciously allowed a late checkout with we appreciated. The binder with suggestions about the area helped us find some great hiking spots. The local caretaker was friendly and unobtrusive.
