Cottage includes a portable air conditioner on the 2nd floor, where the bedrooms are, to keep you cool at night. Ceiling fans and an open air design on the 2nd floor allows for flow of air, but minimal privacy, please keep this in mind when renting. Great for families.

Enjoy the wraparound screen porch for relaxing, playing games and enjoying coffee/dinner with a view of the Wisconsin state capital at night. Outdoor sofa, chairs and dining table will allow you to spend all your time on the screen porch.

Once the weather turns cool in Wisconsin the cottage will not be available as the electric heat and gas fireplace are not enough to keep the upstairs warm. We do have a plug in electric heater upstairs for cool nights.
