Location: Castle Rock Lake, Wisconsin, USA
Accommodations: House, 5 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
This House is on the site where one of the first houses in the area was built circa 1940's. It was an old stucco house with no indoor plumbing and a wood stove. My Grandmother bought it along with the 40 acres that surrounded it, in the 1960's from an elderly woman that was fond of cigars. A new house was built next to it in 1974. The old stucco house was eventually tore down 1998 and buried on the site.
The Newer Home now on 3 1/2 acres, has 2 living rooms. Upstairs living room has 2 large picture windows that have a scenic overlook of 2 ponds. Deer and turkey are present quite frequently in the mornings and evenings. There are small fish to catch and release along with plenty of frogs and turtles. There is a Paver/patio area with chiminea and tiki's to relax and barbeque. The pavers were saved from when the old brick (paved) courthouse street in Mauston was tore up and black topped. There is a trail that leads to a private campfire site that has huge Oak logs hewned into fireside benches.
The house is walking distance to Castle Rock lake (.43 mi), which has multiple taverns, eateries and boat landings. It is about 9 miles from Mauston 9 miles from New Lisbon and 11 miles to Necedah. It is roughly 30 miles from the Wisconsin Dells. I began this rental with the idea to have the lowest rates with the most to offer so more families could afford to have a GETAWAY vacation. Come and enjoy a worry free vacation with everything you could ask for. If you would like to stay at our home, please send email requesting a short term agreement and I will email it back.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1966
Taken at the Dirty Turtle Bar on Castle Rock Lake. We have 3 children (one still in the nest) and have been married for 23 years. I am a Correctional Officer and my wife is a Nursing Assistant.
Why the Owner Chose Castle Rock Lake
My Grandparents John and Wahneeta, bought this property in the early 60's. It became Johns Castle Rock Acres Subdivision. My Grandfather named all streets with words that started with a 'W' in honor of my Grandmother. I was raised on the property and bought it from my Grandmother in 2001. It has a lot of memories and happens to be located in a wonderful vacation getaway area. I decided to turn it into a vacation rental and let others enjoy it as much as I have.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The Lake area businesses are awesome with scenic veiws everywhere, all within walking distance. The house is comfortable has a historical type feeling of how it used to be before it became 'built up' in the area. There is a nice secluded path through the woods that has a private campfiresite. It is one of my wife and I's favorite places to relax.
