The space
The House on Edgewater is located on the historic Wisconsin River. Guests can look forward to enjoying the peaceful river on one of two exterior decks or in the hammock, and may even spot the neighborhood bald eagle! The backyard has steps down to the river for direct access - perfect for kayaking! This adorable three-bedroom, cape-cod style home was built in 1930. Most of the home's woodwork is original, including the doors and door handles. The home has also settled through the years, and developed a charming slope!

Bedrooms:
The master bedroom has a cozy King Size Bed and wingback chair that looks out to the river and is the perfect place for reading a good book. The second upstairs room is great for kids, with two twin beds and a desk. The space could also be used as an office for productive teleworking or just answering a quick email. The third bedroom is located on the main floor and has a Queen Size Bed with a dreamy canopy bed with fairy lights. All mattresses are memory foam and have a down-alternative comforter.

Bathrooms:
The main floor has a full bath with a shower and tub combo, vanity and extra storage. A half bath is located at the top of the stairs.

Parking:
Parking is free. As a courtesy to our neighbors, all guests are asked to park either in the garage or driveway.

Guest access
Guest access will be through a keyless smart lock touchpad. Each guest will receive their own unique 4-digit code.

We can’t wait to host you!

Celebrating first wedding anniversary

Such a beautiful & welcoming feel as soon as you walk in the door. Relaxing in the back yard, visiting with family, we just enjoyed the view of the river! All four of us +my 4 year old was very pleased of the place over all. The thought of doing our family get together here, annually, has crossed our minds.

Vista on the Wisconsin

The inside of this modest looking Cape-Cod style home has been beautifully restored and is a work of art with original woodwork and doors. The updated kitchen was well stocked with paper products, a wide variety of complimentary Keurig coffee, and bottled water. The rooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable. But the most spectacular feature of this rental is the view of the Wisconsin River from the back porch or the upper deck. Both provide outstanding vistas of this stunning waterway, and they each have comfortable chairs and tables. We enjoyed breakfast alfresco each morning. Portage is a small, relatively quiet city, which is conveniently located within driving distance to the Wisconsin Dells, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin, and Devils Lake State Park, as well as the Cascade Mountain ski resort. My wife and I enjoyed the boat rides at the Dells, followed by fine dining at nearby Fields restaurant located at the Wilderness Resort. We also visited historic sites in Portage, including the Indian Agent House and the Surgeon’s Quarters. The latter is located a few hundred feet from where 17th century French explorers, Jacques Marquette (a Jesuit missionary) and Louis Joliet, “portaged” from the Fox River to the Wisconsin River and then down the Mississippi.
