About this property

Castle Rock Lake Cabin Near Lake ~ Close To Wisconsin Dells ~ Peaceful Retreat!

Come stay in our 3 bedroom / 2 bath cabin - only 30 minutes from the Dells and steps away from Castle Rock Lake. Come to relax, boat, fish, swim, golf, snow mobile- Too many options to describe! The fire pit is a great way to end the day and enjoy the stars or the sunset over the lake. The game room is great for rainy days- with pool table and darts - not to mention the board games and puzzles. Each bedroom has a TV and the twin bedroom and living room both have a DVD player.

Sleeps 8 and pet friendly! We provide the bedding and towels - The kitchen is fully stocked and we have a gas grill and a charcoal grill for you to use. Close enough to the Dells and yet - nice and quiet after busy days. There is a public beach less than a mile away and a public boat launch - just blocks away.

Pets are welcome- please ask first:) Internet/WIFI is installed and working great - and we just put in a beautiful new gas range with convection cooking. The master bathroom complete with washer/dryer was just installed and we couldn't be happier:)

Has everything you could need!

My family had a wonderful stay. The cabin was clean, comfy, and had everything you could need. There was plenty to do. We enjoyed a delicious fish fry down the road at The Rustic Ridge, did a little shopping in town, grilled out, had a nice fire, and followed the path to the lake to take some family photos. Oh, and we played lots of euchre! There just wasn’t enough time in the weekend to take advantage of it all. Will definitely be back!

Another great weekend

We have been coming to this cabin for the last 4 years and already booked for next year. The home is beautiful, the neighborhood is peaceful, we couldn't ask for more. My favorite thing is drinking coffee in the game room watching deer come out of the woods.

I absolutely love the castle rock area

I grew up east side of castle rock. It was nice to be back for a long holiday weekend. Love the property and the house. Kids were in the lake every day. Walked four houses down to a nice sandy point. Also Carlsons Rustic Ridge on the big beach is walkable and a great spot. Sunsets are amazing, boat ramps are close by and free, the whole area is atv/ golf cart friendly. The house has everything you would ever need. This is the most equipped rental I've had. There's even firewood provided. Overall, a great stay for the value. Thank you for opening up your home to my family.

Yearly family vacation

This rental was absolutely PERFECT for our trip!! The location was small town Wisconsin, middle of nowhere. Yet we were only 30 minutes from the Dells and most everything else we wanted to do. My wife and I love going for a nice peaceful drive, so anytime we went anywhere we got that. The home itself was exactly what we wanted. It wasn't fancy, but it was really clean and really well maintained, and there was plenty of room for everyone! We are a family of 4 and our sons each brought a friend so there were 6 of us altogether. Myself and my boys are all over 6 feet so it was nice to feel like we weren't on top of each other. There were a TON of games and puzzles and other activities provided, which was great. We planned on being at the beach most days and outdoors the rest, but mother nature had other plans and kept us indoors with rain most of the week, so to have so many things to keep us occupied was fantastic. The ping pong table was a huge hit and the sound of it was our background noise for the trip. We were able to bring our dog with, which was amazing!! All we had to was ask, and there were treats and leashes and tethers for the yard when we arrived. With the different things provided at the house we truly felt that it was being prepared specifically for us , and we loved it! My wife and I already talked about the potential to come and stay with a group of our friends. Thank you so much for the wonderful time!!

Quiet spot in the woods

We walked in to a very clean and cozy cabin with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. We loved that we were allowed to bring our Yorkie...plenty of room for him or a big dog. Anytime i had a question it was answered by the owner within minutes. Instructions for the cabin for check in and check out were excellent. Anything you would need to cook or do laundry is provided for you. Just a minute walk to the water. We brought our kayaks and were able to go a short distance and put them in the water. They do have 2 if you want to use them. Also was able to wash off the sand with the hose provided outside.

Quick Family Get-Away

We really enjoyed staying in this cabin. With 2 adult children and 2 dogs, we had plenty of space to both come together and to spread out! It's too bad the room with the pool table wasn't heated-- we were looking forward to playing. Guess we'll have to come back in the summer!

About the host

Hosted by Amy L Knutson

Host profile image
My parents have owned a place near Castle Rock Lake and we've enjoyed our time spent here- so much so that we purchased our cabin in the woods and we couldn't be happier. We'd love to share it with you- in the winter it's quiet and peaceful and the fireplace makes it cozy and warm. In the summer - there's always something to do and the fire pit is a great way to unwind and enjoy Castle Rock Lake. Lots of parking for bringing your sleds, ATV's and boats! Come enjoy the great area!

Why they chose this property

We are on a nice quiet corner and the lake is across the street in front of the cabin - you can walk along the lake - and enjoy the unbelievble sunsets - absolutely amazing. The public beach is a short half mile walk and Rustic Resort Ridge Resort formally - Carlson's Supper Club. Costa Ricky's has outdoor drinks and live music. Right across from the public beach -
It's just a perfect spot

What makes this property unique

Everyone loves the game room - for those rainy days or late nights - board games, ping pong, puzzles, dart board, corn hole game - checkers - Fun for everyone
