About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Northwoods retreat: walking distance to the Castle Rock Lake.

Welcome to our custom-built cabin situated on a 2-acre deeply wooded lot, within walking distance to the Castle Rock Lake. Definitely one of the most prominent locations of the lake!
With over 3600 square feet of spaciousness, our home sleeps up to 12 guests without compromising privacy or comfort.

Our three level cabin is decorated with a country cowboy and Indian vibe to create an inviting and memorable atmosphere.

The design of this home has been featured in a number of log home magazines including Log Home Living, Country's Best Log Homes, Log Home Design Ideas and Log Home Illustrated.

The cabin features all up-to-date conveniences including a fully equipped kitchen with solid hickory cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. A large peninsula provides additional sitting and casual dining options for six.
Secured wireless internet WIFI access is included in the rental.

The main floor open concept design features a great room with 42' flat screen TV above a stone wood-burning fireplace, wall of viewing windows, sliding door to the deck, hardwood floors, and a 25-foot vaulted ceiling.
Two bedrooms (both with queen-size beds), two bathrooms, and a laundry room with Maytag stackable washer/dryer complete the main floor.

A hand-hewn stairway connects the main floor to the loft overlooking a great room. On this level the guests can find two full-size futons, a flat-screen TV, and a sitting area perfect for relaxing, movie watching, a game of cards, or just quiet reading.

The walk-out lower level game lounge features a TV area with 55' flat screen TV, ping pong table, and a large selection of board games.
Two additional bedrooms (one with king size and one queen size beds) plus two bathrooms complete the lower level of the house.

With several gathering areas indoor and outdoor, this home is an ideal retreat for several families or a family reunion where the three generations make memories.

In the summer, enjoy grilling, sitting by the fire-pit or choose from a variety of outdoor activities. Boating, canoeing, kayaking (two kayaks and a canoe are included in rental), parasailing, hiking, golfing, biking at the State Bike Trails or horseback riding are all within close distance.

There are a few watercraft rentals available nearby, and they offer pontoon boats, jet skis, and stand-up paddleboards.

30-minute drive to the Wisconsin Dells, where you can find entertainment for the entire family: water parks, mini golf, restaurants, bars, go-karts...... there is something for everyone.

In the winter, skiing, sledding or snowboarding at two ski hills, Cascade Mountain and Devil's Head, both within less than an hour drive.

So whether you are looking for a relaxing hideaway, an exciting place for outdoor activities or just passing through, we can accommodate your desires.

Located on Rte G and east of Rte 58, just 30 minutes North of Wisconsin Dells.
So welcome, and we hope that you have a great stay while you visit us.

Great cabin for family vacation

Excellent cabin for family vacation. Great amenities for kids and adults. The beach within walking distance is not really a beach, but a shoreline. Castle Rock Park beach which is 5 min drive is a perfect beach for all. Beds are very comfortable. Lovely place to get away from it all!

Great cabin!

We had a great time at the cabin. The pictures barely do it justice. Ursula was great to deal with and made check-in/check-out a breeze. The rustic cabin had all the amenities listed. We were able to rent a boat and dock it at The Dirty Turtle bar (7 minute drive) for $20. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

Nice property, but it isn’t on a lake like the listing says. It is off a subdivision road, and it is a considerable walk down to the water. You are secluded in trees so it has a private feel, but no lake views.

Beautiful house nestled in the woods fully stocked with everything you need. Listing is a bit misleading. It is not located on the lake and more of a walk than we expected. But overall, we loved our stay here. Everything was very clean, and the beds were very comfy.

The house is stocked with EVERTHING you would need, we way over packed. One of the greatest parts, every single bedroom had a full bathroom either in it or right outside the door . Such a huge plus!

Wisconsin Dells 30 minutes away. Nice brewery in Mauston. Restaurants a bit spotty, but eatable. Ursula very responsive. VRBO went down shortly before we arrived and able to reach her quickly via cell to get in. Reached out a couple other times and always quickly responded.

Wonderful Vacation Home

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin in the woods. It was scrupulously clean and beautifully decorated. The bedrooms are separated from each other, two with ensuites and the other 2 bedrooms had a beautiful bathroom located just outside each bedroom. There is also a wonderful loft where are 2 boys slept. The location is perfect with more things for the family to do than we had time for. The host was wonderful to work with. Everything was just as she told us it would be and she was available for help at any time if we would have needed it. We would give the highest recommendation of this cabin to anyone who is considering it.it.joutside the bedroom.

Memorable Thanksgiving

We celebrated with our family at this gorgeous cabin for Thanksgiving. It was incredibly beautiful and we had all that we needed to pull off an amazing meal for the holiday. Ursula, the owner, could not have been more accomodating with us throughout renting her property. It truly felt like she was part of the family who was sharing her beautiful cabin with us. Furthermore, she set out her own huge turkey platter, a baster, a meat thermometer and a beautiful bottle of wine when we arrived. Now that is outstanding and very thoughtful service! We will highly recommend this cabin to stay at. We all said, if you wanted a more quiet and cozy home away from home near Wisconsin Dells, this is the perfect place to rent!

Great Family Time

Beautiful log home, loved the layout with bedrooms on each end of the house on both the main level and lower, walkout level. 2 of the 4 bedrooms are ensuites, with all 4 bedrooms having access to their own bathroom and large closets, (3 walk-in)made our stay so comfortable. The additional sleep/lounge/loft area upstairs provides sleep/activity area for older kids or work/computer area for adults. Lower level is another couch/actvity/tv area, in addition to the bedrooms. A pantry space that was empty except for a few small appliances (crockpot, hand mixer, etc) made a great space to organize ALL of our snacks etc. The hosts were great with communication and followed thru with all follow up and communication. We made wonderful family memories on this multi family vacation. Thank you to Ursula and Eric.

Misrepresented & Worn Out

The pictures shown are old, and in no way represents what is correct now. The furniture and beds are old and worn out. The home was dirty, and we had to call the landlord when we first arrived. There was food in the sinks, hair and dirt on the stove, refrigerator was dirty, floors and windows were dirty. For the property we thought we leased vs what we received was a rip off and we never would have rented it. There should be a refund and Verbo visit the property and her ability to do this to other people!!
