Absolutely loved this cottage and the location is perfect. Big private yard and dock right on Lake Wisconsin. We brought our boat (launched at Moon Valley) and our two small dogs. Fished right off the dock one evening and had bites/catches almost immediately, though we didn't have any keepers. We were only here for 4 nights but would loved to have stayed much longer. The owners, Dawn and Victor, have ensured you have all the amenities you could possibly need for a comfortable vacation. Disappointed that we didn't have time to enjoy them all. There is a paddle boat, canoe, hammock, screened in porch, beautiful deck with gas grill, fire pit, endless kitchen tools, comfortable living area, wifi, washer/dryer.......and the awesome views and private access to the lake is wonderful. We were not familiar with the lake so it was great that they provided lake maps that we used daily while out boating. Like any body of water, there are hazards and shallows to be aware of. Lake Wisconsin is well marked with channel markers/buoys and recommended that you stay within those when navigating as there are some stump fields and sandbars. The channel markers are on the opposite side of the lake, so we watched the boat traffic and quickly learned how to get to the cottage outside of the channel. There is the Merrimac Ferry in town that runs daily to move travelers from one side of lake to other. We did not use it as we had our boat to get to the other side if needed. We brought all our food and beverages, but if you find you need something quick there is a Mobil gas station just past Moon Valley boat launch that has an array of amenities, including liquor. The bedrooms and bathroom are small and without closets. Dawn has found a way to provide many little cubbies/hooks throughout to accommodate. Face it, you're not here to stay in the bedroom/bathroom. We stayed in mid July and preferred to just open windows and use ceiling fans (in every room) instead of A/C. There is plenty of room to park just up from the cottage. We found the down hill driveway a little tricky with our boat (20' deckboat), but with some fancy maneuvering we opted to park our boat at the top of the driveway until we could launch it the next day. We then tied the boat at dock and backed the empty trailer for storage in driveway. Check in (3pm) and out (10am) was easy. We brought a lantern/flashlight, couple extra lawn chairs for dock. No mosquitos to speak of. Wonderful! We'll be back again!!!!
