Great communication with host, easy check in, great location. We were able to launch our 24’ boat using their very own boat launch and tie it to their dock for the duration of our stay. The lake was lots of fun and some fun bars and restaurants that we can dock at. Great Times!!!

Jay, thank you so much for staying with us at Fish Tale! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience — especially being able to launch your 24’ boat right from the property and keep it at the dock all stay long. Lake Delton is such a fun spot for boating, and we’re glad you enjoyed the bars and restaurants you could pull right up to. We’d love to welcome you back for more great times

Nice home with a great supply of water toys (kayaks etc) with access to the water. A little smaller than I thought but good for a weekend getaway. There is no private beach and not really a place to swim on-site so was a little disappointed about that considering the price. But there are two nice beaches very close and Castle Rock Lake is great. Also a perfect location to be in between the Dells and Arrowhead Lake area. Would definitely recommend this place to others.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing your thoughts. We’re really glad you enjoyed the water access, the kayaks, and the location — being close to both the Dells and the Arrowhead Lake area is definitely a perk. We appreciate your feedback about the size of the home and the on‑site swimming. While the property doesn’t have a private beach, we’re happy you were able to take advantage of the nearby beaches and enjoy Castle Rock Lake. Thanks again for the recommendation — it means a lot. We’d love to welcome you back for another getaway.

Summer Get-Away

This home was as advertised on the VRBO site. What I appreciated most: decent beds in both bedrooms; cleanliness; a notebook on the counter that provided a checklist of what to do upon check-out as well as contact numbers in case of emergency; labeled light switches and informational notes; very prompt responses from the rental office when I emailed to ask a few questions. What I liked least: Unfortunately, we did not catch many fish which was the purpose of the trip.

Great stay at Castle Lake. We had a wonderful time with our son and daughter-in-law and just hanging. There was ample space for the 4 of us to do things together and separately. We had fun on the water with our kayaks we brought and the extra kayaks and paddle boards provided. A definite plus. The inlet is murky and green the lake a bit better, but definitely not suitable for swimming or fishing in the inlet. Still had good time paddling about. The house is adequately stocked with dishes and utensils. No wine or cocktail rock glasses which would be nice. After all, it is vacation. There are no extras like spices, paper towels or napkins. This is stated in the description so be aware it is true. No dishwasher. Extra dish towels would have been welcome. The house had comfortable beds and ample bath towels. TV had satellite channels and not hard to figure out. We did have to clean up dog waste bags left just by front stairs and sweep up sand and debris off stairs and driveway, as well as clean porch off of spiderwebs and debris. Also removed tree branch that had fallen in yard. Not huge issues but indicated no one had visited property prior to our stay to pick up. We had issue with refrig. and no garbage cans only dumpster down the driveway. Owner very responsive by email throughout. Rustic Ridge pizza was amazing and should be sought out. We had a great time walking around, visiting the beach a mile north. A great place to unplug and unwind with those you love. Thank you
