About this property

On the water! Rain guarantee. Boat lift. AC. Pontoon boat, SUP's, Kayaks, canoe.

Rain guarantee: If there are two or more "inside-only" days in a week, we will let you shift the dates, extend (so long as no conflicting bookings), get a discount, or rebook last-minute to a different week ... we'll work with you, because we want you to enjoy your cabin rental.

This cabin has one of the best locations on Lake Ripley.
- Directly on the lake (no road between cabin and lake)
- Private (no public beach or group access nearby; private dock)
- North side (great breezes, sunsets, and road for walking)
- Large property (formerly an orchard, still with apples, pears and cherries and other mature landscaping, including oaks and native plants)
- New modern pier
- Lakefront deck
- Quiet single-family-home neighbors

The midcentury decor is updated with new appliances, central AC, remodeled bathroom with walk-in shower, new beds and bedding, and fast internet. Single-level, one step up to enter the cabin.

From the dock you can fish, swim, or launch one of our many SUP paddle boards, canoe, rowboat, or pontoon boat. An extra boat lift allows you to bring your own motorboat (for rear-engine single-hull boats). Fast boating only allowed between 11:00 am - 7:30 pm (although mostly concentrated on weekends). Other times reserved for those with a slower pace (kayaks, swimmers, fishing).

Closest city is Cambridge, a gem with a quintessential American small-town main street, pottery/arts community, good restaurants & coffee-shop & ice cream (and laundry). Madison is a short drive away. Other nearby attractions include Camrock trail system, a winery, drive-in movies, and oval racetrack.

Host profile image

I've been coming to this cabin for every year of my life, as it has been in the family for three generations now.

Why they chose this property

Step back in time to a more peaceful lifestyle, with sunsets, swimming and indoor/outdoor Wisconsin summers. All the boats are available to use, including a pontoon boat, two rowboats, and a canoe ... along with standup paddle boards. We keep it immaculate, with pesticide-free lawns (so run around with bare feet without any concerns). All guest who are under 18 must know how to swim!
