The Whimsical Cottage rental includes a turnkey 28' Pontoon Boat docked at your private pier ready when you arrive. The SS Stella seats 12 comfortably. Cruise on over to the Driftwood Ice Cream shop, Dockside Dan's Bar and Grill or the famous Sandbar in the middle of the lake, where you can drop anchor to relax and party.

Inside The Whimsical Cottage sleeps 12 guests with two master bedrooms, one on the main floor and one on the second floor. There are three additional upstairs bedrooms with one full/twin bunk bed, a triple bunk bed and two twin beds.

The living room has a 55" smart tv and opens to the 12" x 25' deck that boasts beautiful sunrise Round Lake views.

Just steps beyond the spacious front deck you will find your private lawn and sandy beach. Enjoy the log swing, lifeguard chairs or play a game of Cornhole bean bags. The shallow beachfront is perfect for kids and adults alike. Build sandcastles, catch minnows or just lounge with your toes in the sand.

Splash around the pier or paddle out to the swim platform with 2 pedal boats, 4 kayaks, float toys and life jackets. Or cast a line off the dock for the best bass fishing around (catch and release please)!

After a day of water fun, barbeque on the gas grill and roast marshmallows and relax around the large natural fire pit with complimentary firewood.

Grab a cool drink, head down the pier and hop on the custom 24' lighted Tiki Party Barge anchored at the end of the pier-Unique to the Whimsical Cottage on Round Lake for great night time views and memories.

Peaceful and Relaxing

The cottage is very clean and inviting! The outside amenities were nice, clean sandy beach, paddle boats, the Tiki Bar is a permanently docked pontoon, was great to hang out on! The back deck is gorgeous, great for enjoying the lake view, just no shade until later in the afternoon. Cottage is on west side of lake so you have the sunrise and lots of sun all day, we used the pontoon for coffee in the morning for some shade! Everyone on the lake was very friendly. Fishing from the pier was good, my husband caught some bass, just don’t forget the bug spray at night! Despite a few minor glitches - would definitely stay again!
