Holiday rentals near The Octagon House

Great location for outdoor activities with the Glaciel-Drumlin trail right behind the house for biking/walking and the lake and marsh for swimming and water activities. The lake wasn’t too crowded. We saw a lot of wildlife! The quaint town of Lake Mills is nearby and offers some nice restaurants if you don’t want to cook every night. We rode our bikes to pick up a few groceries. Our host was, Stacy, was great and very responsive. The house was very clean with a nice patio. The only negative was the Aztalan Inn Bar which is just outside the town of Lake Mills. It was 7 on Sunday and some of the in-town restaurants were closing at 8. Weird experience! The waitress told us she would “get to us when she gets to us” when we walked in. Then some patrons kept turning up the music on a jute box type machine and replaying the same song while they looked at us and laughed. (We are a polite bunch and had two kids with us) The music was deafening. Literally my ear was starting to ache. After about 20 minutes without any service we just walked out and went to a very friendly and delicious El Mariachi restaurant in town. I’m 64 years old, well traveled and never experienced anything like that - a bit scary, very rude place if you’re an average bear.
