With its warm wood cabinetry, a vintage stove, and modern appliances, this kitchen is both functional and nostalgic—ideal for cooking up family favorites. Just beyond, the large dining table invites everyone to gather for meals, games, and good conversation.

Off the dining room, a cozy screened-in porch offers additional seating—a peaceful place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening, bug-free.

The living room is designed for relaxation with comfy seating, board games, and a collection of movies, perfect for cozy nights in. The cottage features three bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating your entire group. Each bedroom includes two beds, soft linens, and rustic decor that evoke the warmth of simpler times.

Wander down the hallway to discover a unique bar and lounge area—great for casual conversations or an evening nightcap. Step right outside to the back patio, where a charcoal grill, outdoor seating, and a firepit set the scene for memorable cookouts and starlit storytelling.

Outdoors, the clean sandy beach and private dock offer the ultimate lakefront escape. Swim, fish, paddle, or simply unwind along the shore. The gentle slope into the water makes lake days enjoyable for both kids and adults alike. Guests are welcome to explore Roche-A-Cri Lake using the onsite canoe and rowboat, with paddles conveniently stored in the shed.

You’ll also find yard games, floaties, bikes, and a selection of life jackets available for guest use. Please enjoy everything the property has to offer and treat the equipment with care and respect so future guests can enjoy it too!

.🏖 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.
