The whole process from rental to leaving was simple. Loved the two docks available to fish from (front and rear of the cottage). Husband loved that there was kayaks , canoe l, and row boat available to get out on the lake. Home was very inviting and home like. Would definitely stay again!

Get getaway home away from home!

We love this home! Perfect location for us since we have family nearby, but this home has everything you could think of to enjoy a fantastic lake vacation. Craig is a great host and we could want for nothing. Wonderful stay and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect Wisconsin getaway!

Cozy Cottage

The property is as described, very clean, and has all the amenities you'd need. Having access to the lake from both sides of the property is a plus. The owner is so sweet and very accommodating. We can't wait to come back again soon!

Fantastic location for golf, paddle boarding, hiking, going to to the Dells, and just hanging out with your dog. Craig was a great host and easy to reach if you need him. Clean and capable of handling 4-5 people on good and rainy days. Lots of nice stuff available for you to use indoors and out. Thanks Craig.

Comfortable and quiet

Nice house, clean, everything we needed in the kitchen was here, although we didnt use much. Bikes and equipment in the garage to use. Close enough to the Dells and state park. Quiet place, comfortable beds. The host was great at check in and told us everything we needed to know.

This was a very cute cottage on friendship lake. Very clean and comfortable except for the queen size mattress needs to be replaced because it didn't support my back. property could use some gardening attention. It would have been nice to have some of the weeds/saplings cut back near the pier behind the place. Overall, cute place.

Fantastic

This place was incredibly nice. Craig, the owner was just a delight. He has everything there that we would ever need. From the kayaks to the bicycles and even fishing equipment. Even had The long forks for cooking s’mores over the fire pit!. didn’t expect to need to use the washer and dryer but with a nine-year-old grandson even that came in handy! we cooked on the grill every night, saving a lot of money from not having to go out to eat. Definitely hope to return and stay there again!

Our first VRBO

We needed a place to stay for thanksgiving at my Mom's. Her extra rooms were already spoken for. I was actually surprised Friendship, WI actually had VRBOs for rent. Richard met us at the house and showed us around. It was right on the lake as advertised. It was only 1.8 miles from my Mom's place. Too bad it was cold out. Would love to do this again in better weather to take advantage of the lake.

Hidden gem.

We lived in the area for 40+ years, had driven within a couple hundred feet of the lake this cottage sits on, and had never heard of Lake Friendship. Although the lakes all had weed issues this year, it was still very pretty (we didn’t do any boating). Want to fish? Try both the front and back docks. The cottage is FULLY furnished with everything you need. There was plenty of room when our grandkids visited, and the owner of the adjoining resort let them enjoy his swimming beach. Using the garage was a bonus for getting our car out of the weather, and to store luggage during our stay. Our host has a canoe and fishing boat for use by guests, and even has fishing poles and life jackets available. We met a neighbor who offered his pontoon boat to us, although we didn’t take him up on the offer (great neighbor). If we strolled lived on the area, we’d try to buy this property for a weekend retreat. A grocery store, restaurants, gas stations, and more are only a few minutes away (have a Bucky’s pizza delivered 😋). The local golf course is five minutes away - also try their breakfast, lunch, or dinner 😋). Did we like this property? Absolutely!

Comfortable

The cabin was perfect for what we needed. Plenty of comfortable space, all the bedding, towels, and kitchen utensils you could think of, and most of all...quiet. Unfortunately, the lake was much weedier and smaller than we were expecting (DNR needs to update their website), so we couldn't use our boat much at all. LOTS of small bluegill to be caught off the docks. Check-in was in-person and smooth with an older gentleman who could tell you the entire community's story if you had the time, but very generous. Neighbors next door at Island Resort were kind enough to let us swim from their beach, all you had to do was ask. Quiet neighborhood for walks with dogs. The town really needs a coffee shop, but that's nothing against this particular cabin. Very comfortable stay.

A good place for a weekend

It's nice that there is a boat and kayak, and we could sail them on the lake, but it is quite overgrown. It would be nice to refresh this house and clean it up carefully so that there would be no surprises like a mouse in a basket. Great there are bikes and outside grill but needs good cleaning. The covers on the bed needed to be washed or replaced, the sheets weren't nice We left this place an hour earlier because a team was already waiting near the house to clean the property, and when we were still sitting outside, a young man began to mow the grass. We have never had such an experience. It's great that we could make a bonfire by the lake. The weather was fine, so we had a good weekend outside and thank you very much.

Great Place!!

Very nice experience. Owners were great and helpful. The lake was wonderful. We swam in the lake. Fishing was good caught a good number of blue gill, the last day something big grabbed our little guys bait.and snapped the line. Thinking it was a northern. House was clean and well stocked with essential items. Beds were comfy. The fireworks show on July 3rd was awesome. The town of Friendship was awesome, ate at Buckys pizza. Good pizza and appetizers!!

Perfect Getaway

We went for peace and quiet. Exactly what we got! Relaxing on the deck and fishing off the dock. Not far from town so we enjoyed a couple cafes as we didn't want to cook. The bait shop is just a couple minutes away! Cute little town from what we saw. Everything in the house was fully stocked the only thing we had to bring was clothes and food. Seriously a little peace of paradise!
