Secluded Cottage with Beautiful Views on Lake Wisconsin!

We had a great time spending a week on lake Wisconsin and staying at this wonderful cottage! The cottage sits right next to the lake and when you are sitting on the deck listening to the water it is perfect! The cottage was very clean has everything you need for your stay. The awesome fire pit was great to sit around in the evenings and having a wood pile there is nice. Having several restaurants on the lake helps when deciding on what to have for dinner. We took in some hiking at Devils Lake State Park which is close to the cottage with some golf at Devils Head. When staying at this cottage just bring your suitcase and be ready for the perfect time at the lake! Thanks again Dawn for a wonderful week! We will be coming back!

The cottage is on a unique parcel of land. Not only is it lakefront, but the trees in the yard offer so much shade and the wind off of the lake is nature's airconditioning. We sat by the lake and ate on the deck most every night. It was so relaxing.

The cottage was well furnished and utensils for cooking were just what a person needed.

Fishing off the dock was not successful for us, so we went to the grade by Harmony Grove and caught a nice mess of blue gills for our fish fry. We love pan fish and they did not disappoint. Thank you for a very nice time!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! From the moment you pull onto the property, the views are breathtaking. A big yard leading out/down to a dock on beautiful Lake Wisconsin.

Outside (where you will be spending most of your time): Very well landscaped yard. An awesome fire pit that is surrounded by four rocking chairs. A swing and hammock for relaxing and taking in the views. A canoe and paddleboat for getting out on the lake (though we did not use). A shed with life jackets, paddles, tubes, and other items to use while enjoying the lake. Plenty of firewood chopped for the firepit. Nice big deck with a table and chairs and a gas grill.

Inside: Very clean and well taken care of. The kitchen is stocked with plates, cups, utensils, pots and pans, toaster, coffee maker, and pretty much anything else you could possibly need. There is Wi-Fi, though it didn't always work great while we were there (not a big deal since you don't come to this property to surf the web or work). Bedrooms and bathroom are small but functional. One bedroom even has a washer and dryer, plus the owners include supplies to do laundry (soap, dryer sheets, etc.). The bathroom is stocked with all the essentials, plus items that you may have forgotten, e.g. toothbrush.

Location: Besides the aforementioned views of beautiful Lake Wisconsin, this cabin is also close to Devil's Lake State Park, Parfrey's Glen State Natural Area, and other parks. Devil's Lake has tons of hiking trails, rocking climbing, and of course the lake to swim and/or fish in. There are also several restaurants within 20 minutes from the cabin.

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!!!!

My wife and I needed an affordable vacation spot. I found this cottage and we fell in love with it the moment we pulled in. It had everything we needed for the stay. The cottage was very clean and kept up. The fact that we could bring our dog made the stay even more enjoyable since we didn't have to board her. This is exactly what we needed. I've stayed in cabins before that were about the same price and they didn't have half the things this place. Excellent experience!
