About this property
BEAUTIFUL LOG HOME ON THE WESTERN SHORES OF LAKE PETENWELL
Welcome to Lakeside Lodge on Petenwell Lake. Nestled on a stunning 5.5-acre wooded lot, our log cabin offers a perfect blend of comfort and adventure, making it an ideal getaway for families and friends.
The location puts year-round adventure at your doorstep: boat, fish or paddle straight from the property, then explore the 44,000-acre Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, tee off at nearby Sand Valley, hit the Ho-Chunk Casino (10 minutes), or treat the kids to Wisconsin Dells waterparks (45 minutes). Snowmobile and ATV trails, downhill skiing and state-park hiking keep the itinerary full no matter the season.
***WIFI ***Pet Friendly, $150 per pet per stay ****Woodshed - help yourself ****Central Air
****Attention - The shoreline is owned by the Wisconsin River Power Company and the walk path along the lake is public land to be used for hiking. There is a nice sandy beach with no shoreline rocks just north of the cabin lot and a short walk from the backyard. This beach area can be used to load the boat or park during the day. Leaving the boat unattended is not recommended due to the changing lake winds. You will need to trailer your watercraft each evening since there is no overnight docking on the beach. The cabin property has plenty of space for trailer parking and the nearest public boat launch is just minutes away at Wilderness Park. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy your time at the lake!
Pontoon Rentals: If you’d like to enjoy a day on the water, pontoons are available to rent at The Lure (also Barnum Bay Marina, just across the lake) for $400/full day or $250/half day, plus gas. Advance arrangements are recommended — you can learn more here:
Barnum Bay Marina.

The lower level is designed for comfort and fun. It includes two more bedrooms—one with a full bed and one with a king—plus a full bathroom and a large common area.

Wonderful

We stayed over Valentine’s weekend for a Galentine’s trip and it was the perfect spot for our group of 11. The cabin had plenty of space for all of us to spread out and relax without ever feeling crowded. We walked out on the frozen lake, which was such a fun experience. It made the whole weekend feel extra “Wisconsin winter” in the best way.
Everything was clean and exactly as described. Communication was easy and check in was smooth. We’re already talking about planning our next trip back! Highly recommend for a girls trip or a larger group getaway!

Lakeside Lodge cabin on Lake Petenwell
Our family had an amazing time at the Lakeside Lodge cabin on Lake Petenwell! The home is spacious, fully stocked with all the amenities, and comfortably accommodated our group of 13. We enjoyed beautiful lake views and easy access to the water. We even rented a pontoon from Lure across the lake—it was a blast! The location is peaceful yet offers plenty to do. We absolutely loved our stay!
Stayed with family for a weekend. Went ice fishing straight out from house, did very well. Overall very nice stay, clean and comfortable.

Amazing Cabin Getaway!
Just got back from an awesome stay at this cabin! The lake views are stunning, and I loved having bonfires under the stars. I even saw a bald eagle!
As the first guest with the new owners, I was super impressed by how well they’ve done everything. This place is top-notch!
If you want a chill spot to relax and enjoy nature, I highly recommend this cabin. Can’t wait to come back!
We enjoyed our stay at the property. It has everything you need and was a perfect get away for our family of adult and teen children. The lake was just a short walk from the porch.

Nice cabin
The Cabin is very clean and spacious. Owners went above and beyond to make it feel Christmassy with not one , but 3 Christmas trees. Lovely cabin and surroundings. We will definitely rent it again.
This property is perfect for a family gathering. The house is beautiful and situated directly on the lake for stunning views. Each room is spacious and we'll appointed. The log cabin ambiance is exactly what we wanted for our holiday get together.
Our family loved our stay! The cottage has everything you could possible need and then some! We enjoyed relaxing on the deck with tons of comfy seating and a great grill!It is a wrap around deck and was perfect for the little ones to play on. Beds were also comfy - our family loves making meals together, and the kitchen was well-stocked with all of the dishes, pans, and other that we needed. The cabin is like 3 homes in one with room and space for all. It is like a luxurious 3 Bears cottage:-) Peacful area -
Our family had a wonderful stay at the cabin! There was plenty of room for everyone, and the cabin was clean and cozy!
We had a rare 80 degree Oct day so the kids enjoyed splasing in the lake. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and the beautiful, peaceful location.

Perfect Location to Relax
Our group enjoyed the amenities of the cabin, water, and local area. Plenty of room for our group of ten, and great autumn weather to enjoy the fantastic view and area. The cabin offered all it promised.

Memorable Friends Trip
We had the best time at this cabin for a friends' trip! The place was super spacious and plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax without feeling on top of each other. The common areas were great for group hangouts and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals together.
The outdoor setup was a major highlight. We spent every evening around the fire pit! The lake is just a short walk away and absolutely beautiful. Definitely a huge bonus!
The cabin was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed.
Highly recommend for any group of friends looking to unplug, hang out, and make awesome memories. We’re already planning our return trip!
This is a beautiful property with amazing shoreline. We weren’t able to get the tv to work but also did not reach out to report the issue so our bad. Overall recommend!

Thank you so much for staying with us! We are sorry to hear about your technical difficulties, next time reach out, we don't mind! :)
We really enjoyed our stay, our whole family got together and were able to eat, relax, enjoy the scenery, and sleep peacefully in one location. I will warn others attempting to go to this cabin that Android GPS might take you to the cabin next door, lol. Be wary of your GPS!

Not the first time
We’ve been using cottage keeper for many years for wisconsin mini vacations and longer weekends and each time was a nice experience. Their cabins are exactly what we are looking for in any season. We’ve been coming every year to different cabins and each of them are really nice.

Overall, it was good. Positives - location and lake view was great. Provision of the hammock and area outside the cabin was great. Negative: Could not use wifi or tv due to lack of wifi speed.

Mr.
Check in was very easy.
The cabin was wonderful !
Only issue was fireplace kept backing up into house when in use...flue was fully opened....
Will definitely stay again !
Thank you,
Dan
*****Thank for your 5 star review! We loved hosting you! I will have my team take a look at the fireplace, maybe it needs to be "swept" out. Thank you again, see you next time!******
The fireplace and rooms made it very cozy, but technology desperately needs to be updated. We stayed on a bitterly cold weekend and were looking forward to movies and football. The downstairs tv did not work and upstairs had limited app availability on a very old device.
