The Space:
“We planned to go to the Dells or Castle Lake, but honestly, we were too comfortable to leave…Incredible stay!” - Cory
Welcome to Beach Cottage! When we first saw this property, we knew immediately we'd found something special. It wasn't just the great location or the sandy beach that starts right from our back door – it was the feeling that this was where families create those perfect vacation memories. We fell in love with having morning coffee on the deck with the rising sun reflecting off the water, evening bbq cookouts, and s'mores around the fire pit as the stars come out. You walk in and see the lake right away through the huge windows. Beyond that was a large deck where we had breakfast and dinners and watched our kids roll in the sand." - Cory
The heart of our home is really the connection between indoor and outdoor living. Those floor-to-ceiling windows aren't just for show – they frame the lake like living artwork that changes throughout the day. But what guests really rave about is stepping outside.
The screened in porch is where many of our guests spend their evenings – there's something magical about watching the sunset through the screens while staying cozy around the propane fire table. And yes, those are real wine glasses from Burr Oak Winery in the photos!

“The house was set up great for our two families - one family used the 2 upstairs rooms and other had their privacy with the 2 rooms downstairs. The kids enjoyed the beach right outside the back door & the adults enjoyed watching them from the deck.” - Nicole
OUTSIDE - Private Sandy Beach & Water Adventures:
An absolute guest favorite is the backyard and we love it too! What’s great is you can step out from the screened porch or walk down the stairs from the upper deck - so convenient! Right off the porch is an outdoor table with seating for 4. You can set up yard games, like corn hole, out on the grass or have a little picnic.
And just a few steps further and you’re on the sand. Set up the beach chairs and take out the kayaks and floaties and make a splash! Gather around the firepit for s’mores and head back up to the deck for some BBQ dinner.

“Every single person on our party of 12 absolutely loved the property. They all felt right at home and kept telling us that we should make this our yearly stay. Absolutely loved it.” - Beatriz

We really liked the house. Everything is beautiful, renewed and clean. Our 4 families with kids were perfectly accommodated in 4 bedrooms. The view from the window was pleasing. After a festive feast, it’s nice to take a walk around the lake. The house has everything necessary for life and rest )
I highly recommend choosing this house for your rest.

Fun week at a small lake
The walkout beach to a small lake (~25 total homes on the lake) is wonderful. Lots of sand for the kids to play in. The house fit all 14 of us pretty well. Had lots of entertainment options - water toys, outside toys, fire pit, foosball table, etc.

Wonderful sandy beach
Beautiful beach for young children. We had children ages 2 - 11. They loved playing in the water and sand. The small lake was wonderful. Big enough to have fun but not so big as to lose track of the kids.

This is an amazing property for ski season! Plenty of space for two families and it had everything we needed. We loved the ski in/ski out, heated garage, kids area downstairs and the hot tub! The kids had so much fun playing in the snow just out front also. Vicki was so helpful and responsive! Definitely can’t go wrong booking this place.

Awesome!
There were 13 of us, 8 adults and 5 children ages 2-7. We spent almost all of our time on the beach or in the water. Most fun was the Lilly pad. We were thankful for all the extra life jackets provided. The kayaks and paddle boards were also a hit, and the kids loved swimming out to the island in the middle of the lake. The kids loved catching all the frogs and turtles by the lake. The house had everything we needed. We loved our time at this property!
