About this property

Modern Waterfront Getaway on the Wisconsin River – Between Castle Rock & Lake Petenwell

Your next riverfront getaway starts with us! Tucked away along the tranquil banks of the Wisconsin River, this inviting waterfront home offers the perfect blend of comfort and natural beauty. Located conveniently between Castle Rock Lake and Lake Petenwell, it’s the ideal basecamp for boating, fishing, exploring, or simply unwinding in every season.

Step outside and you’ll discover a thoughtfully designed outdoor space that invites you to relax, unwind, and enjoy the riverfront setting. A man-made sandy sitting area offers a beachy, laid-back vibe right in your own backyard—complete with plenty of lounge seating and uninterrupted views of the water. It’s the perfect spot to sip a drink, read a book, or simply watch the river roll by.

The deck is covered, providing shade and comfort throughout the day. It features additional seating, a dining table for meals outside, and easy access to the pellet grill, making it a great space for entertaining or family cookouts. Just steps away, a fire pit is perfectly placed for evening gatherings, allowing you to enjoy the warmth of the fire while still staying connected to the main outdoor area.

With a large yard, beautiful river views, and multiple places to sit and socialize, the outdoor space is built for both relaxation and memory-making—day or night.

This home is pet-friendly, so your four-legged family members are welcome to join the adventure. There's also a camper/RV hookup with 30/50 amp service available right in the driveway, perfect for guests traveling with extra equipment or hosting additional family.

**$150 per pet per stay***
**$75 camper hook up fee - per camper, per stay***

Dock & Water Access Information:
Our home is located on a scenic channel, making it ideal for boating. The dock is shared with our friendly neighbors — you’ll have full access, but you may see them from time to time.
Please note:

Overnight docking is not permitted due to county regulations.

Swimming is at your own risk, as there is no lifeguard on duty.

Things To Do
Start your adventure with a visit to the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, where you can explore trails like the Boghaunter Trail, Meadow Beauty Loop, and Observation Tower Trail. These paths offer opportunities to observe diverse wildlife and enjoy the serene landscapes.

For those interested in more rugged terrain, Buckhorn State Park provides hiking trails and water access points, perfect for kayaking or fishing.

If you're looking to venture a bit further, Wisconsin Dells is approximately 45 minutes away and offers a plethora of attractions. Experience the thrill of waterparks like Noah's Ark, America's largest waterpark, or the Kalahari Resort, known for its expansive indoor waterpark.

For a more relaxed experience, consider a scenic boat tour with Dells Boat Tours®, offering views of the unique sandstone formations along the Wisconsin River.

Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a round at Castle Rock Golf Course in New Lisbon or MoundView Golf Course in Friendship, both offering well-maintained greens and facilities.

When it comes to dining, Necedah offers local favorites like the Woodbine Inn, known for its classic supper club ambiance, and the Roadhouse, offering a casual dining experience.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by an open-concept living space filled with natural light and river views. The living room features a large sectional sofa and a big smart TV, creating a cozy space for gathering after a day outdoors. The fully stocked kitchen offers everything you need to cook and entertain—including two full-size refrigerators, all major appliances, cookware, utensils, and a breakfast bar for easy dining.

Each of the three private bedrooms is furnished with a comfortable queen bed, its own flat-screen TV. The two full bathrooms are clean and convenient—one with a walk-in shower, the other with a tub/shower combo—ideal for groups or families. A fully stocked laundry room includes a washer, dryer, and all the essentials for extended stays.

Upstairs, a lofted bonus area was created with kids in mind. It’s a fun and casual open space with TVs and plenty of room for sleeping bags—perfect for movie nights, games, or a little extra breathing room.

The entryway is more than just a place to drop your bags—it’s a thoughtful hub stocked with everything you might need for your stay, including board games, pellets for the grill, extra outdoor seating, tiki torches, and even s’more sticks for making memories around the fire pit.

Everything we needed!

This home had everything we need for our extended weekend. The 2 fridges were super helpful as we were travelling on our way to another destination and had food with us. All the beds and pillows were super comfy. The front deck/ porch is where is it at, we thoroughly enjoyed this area especially while having our morning coffee and overlooking the river. Our group would definitely stay here again.

Loved

Such a serene and beautiful place to get away from life. We actually felt at home, all the amenities one would ever need. The only negative-the pet smell on the couch and recliner. We could not sit on those pieces of furniture as we have allergies and the smell was very noticeable right up front. Otherwise, beautiful property and experience all in all
