About this property

Wonderful home on beautiful Rock Lake!

Amazing vacation destination! Enjoy this 4 bedroom / 3 bathroom 2860 square foot lake home on beautiful Rock Lake. This wonderful lake home features walls of windows to capture amazing lake views from almost every room. Our home has plenty of space for being together, a rec room, game room, screened-in gazebo, and a fire pit near the lake. We can accommodate 14 (8 adults max, sleeping double). A big yard has room for outdoor activities and a level walkout to the lake with 96 feet of lake frontage. We have high speed wireless internet so if you are working from home, why not make this your home for a week?!
Large living room with beautiful views of Rock Lake. King size bed in the primary bedroom, queen size beds in bedrooms 2 and 3, three sets of bunk beds in the 4th bedroom bunk room to accommodate up to 6 children, and a full futon in the rec room. We do not store things in the dressers and closets so there is plenty of room for your things. You do not have to live out of your suitcase! A spacious kitchen offers sit down dining for the whole crew. We have a large pantry and cupboards that are available so you can stock up on groceries to minimize your trips to the store and maximize your time at the lake! Propane and charcoal grills are located right outside the dining room. The rec room provides plenty of additional space and a game room off of the garage has an air hockey table. We also have 2 kayaks, a pedal boat and life jackets for use while using them. Whether you're looking for a change of scenery, to relax in a quiet peaceful setting or you are excited to fill your days with swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating and local activities, our home is a great backdrop for your family vacation on Rock Lake. Bring your own boat or rent one and dock it on our pier (the pier is in from mid-May until the first weekend in October) . We are situated on a dead-end road on the southern shore of the lake and have parking for 4 vehicles and a boat trailer. The location offers beautiful views, a sandy bottom for swimming, and is ideal for fishing, kayaking, or boating from our private pier. This affordable vacation destination is a wonderful place to make memories and get away from it all.
Rock Lake is a 1365 acre lake with 4 public boat landings (one right on our road) and 2 public beaches. The lake boasts clear water clarity.
Rock Lake is located in Lake Mills, which is a charming lake community featuring a picturesque downtown square surrounded by shops and restaurants. Lake Mills is home to Aztalan State Park, bike trails, and wildlife areas.
Our home is ideally situated minutes from the Glacial Drumlin State Trail and Korth Park and approximately 1 hour from the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport.
Enjoy the Glacial Drumlin State Trail which stretches for 52 miles through farmlands and glacial topography. The trail travels through 10 small towns from Cottage Grove to Waukesha. The trail is open to walking, bicycling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and in-line skating. The Glacial Drumlin State Trail also connects to numerous miles of county snowmobile trails.
The Glacial Drumlin State Trail corridor is open to hunting for the 3,600-foot, re-routed section of the trail within the Lake Mills State Wildlife Area. Portions of the trail property in the town of Lake Mills and the town of Aztalan are open to hunting and trapping during the Wisconsin state parks hunting time frame.
You can access 89 acre Korth Park from Elm Point Road. Korth Park is situated on the shore of Rock Lake and offers a sweeping view of Rock Lake from the top of a glacial drumlin dominating the center of the property. This park includes an 8-acre restored oak savanna, 60+ acres of tall grass prairies. Korth Park is an excellent location to either host large events in the pavilion and shelter, or just enjoy a picnic and playground in the park. For those interested in hiking and running, the park offers 3 miles of mowed trail system as well as a gravel path along the lake that connects to the Glacial Drumlin Trail. During the winter months, the trails are groomed for classic style cross country skiing and the hill to the east of Korth Pavilion is great for sledding. The park also offers great opportunities for simply viewing wildlife or enjoying a moment of solitude in your busy life!
For those seeking to explore outside of Lake Mills, additional restaurants, shopping, and dinner theatre are available in Cambridge and Fort Atkinson, which are a short 15-30 minute drive. Enjoy a scenic hike, mountain biking, or cross-country skiing on the trails within 422 acre CamRock County Park. Bike rentals are available from the Cambridge bike store. The Johnson Creek Premium Outlet Mall is 25 minutes away and downtown Madison is a 35 min drive. Sportsmen will appreciate the Milford Hills Hunting Club. Located 25 minutes away, it’s an easy drive to one of the Midwest's premier hunt clubs and wing-shooting destinations. Enjoy a demolition derby and stock car races at the Jefferson County Speedway.
Watch the seasons change from spring, summer, fall, or winter, since the community offers year round activities. Swim, kayak, fish, or relax in the sun during the summer. Autumn offers gorgeous foliage throughout the area along with hiking, hunting, and fishing.

Great place to stay

A very clean, cute house on a very clear nice lake. The town of Lake Mills is just a few minutes drive and has good places to eat and some cute boutiques. We had a great time staying here. Our teens enjoyed the air hockey table and we were able to get Jet Ski Madison to bring a jet ski to the public launch that's just a few houses down. We would stay here again.

Perfect Getaway

My family had an amazing time! Weather was beautiful. House was spacious and very clean. The views were amazing...loved waking up to the beautiful lake every morning. We rented a pontoon, went fishing, swimming, kayaked and paddle boarded. The lake was peaceful and not too crowded. It was a perfect getaway for our family!

Great "Old Lady" college reunion vacation!

Every year 7 to 10, 65+ year old ladies pick a place in the U.S. to rent and spend some time together as we all went to college together. This house was one of our favorites. Beautiful lake view, quiet neighborhood and within easy distance to some of the sightseeing we wanted to do. I guess the only criticism we had was please get 2 ply instead of 1 ply t.p. bit, all in all a fabulous stay. I'd recommend it to all, young and old!

Perfect home

I booked this home for a girls weekend get away and it was all we could have hoped for. The house was in a great and beautiful location, close to the Kettle Moraine trail for some walking as well as close enough to town if you needed provisions. It was clean and just as advertised. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you needed and the space flowed great for just hanging out. There is nothing I have would have changed about the property.

A Magical Experience

I stepped through the aqua door, took one look at the view through the massive windows, and stopped to call one of the girls that was joining me. "We're not going to want to leave", I said. The house itself is incredible. The bedrooms are so comfortable. There's just so much space! We didn't even utilize the downstairs, and it is just as beautiful as the main room. The owners were 100% available and responsive. I felt so welcomed. What a privilege to spend time in this space. It's absolutely glorious. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Lovely getaway for a group

Cindy's home was perfect for our group of 3 couples and a single. The living space on the main floor is open with lots of counter-top/table/couch seating. There is an extra fridge in the garage which was very handy for a group our size who wanted to stay in the house for meals. Huge windows to watch the sunset from the living room or Master. Lovely firepit with several chairs in the back yard as well as a picnic table. The dock is wonderful if you have/rent a boat. Communication with Cindy was easy and prompt. The home was spotless and had all the kitchen items and extra towels we needed for showering. Do not hesitate to rent Cindy's home!

Family Gathering

We couldn’t ask for more. The home and property were 100% accommodating. They entire home was so homey and clean. Communication with the owners prior to our stay was thorough. And once there, instructions were clear. We will not hesitate to return and also to recommend. While there, we rented a pontoon from a local establishment. With the warm weather, it was perfect for going out on the lake. We packed lunches and you should have heard the laughter when everyone was out floating!…. Bonfires in the evening. Games at the ling kitchen table once the kids were in bed! The kids enjoyed the ducks and turtles. We all went to a local park and met a photographer for family pics. We left exhausted and happy.

Perfect family getaway!

I can't say enough about this perfect family lake house! We were two families traveling from the northern suburbs of Chicago that needed a weekend vacation! It was less than a 2 hour drive away but felt like we were in a different world! The owner, Cindy, was very sweet and let us check in early and check out late b/c no one was renting before or after us. As all the other reviews has mentioned, the house was immaculately clean! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen completely stocked. Rock Lake is a medium sized lake that is very clear with minimum kelp and the kids loved swimming and fishing off the very nice new dock! The paddle boat was so fun and we enjoyed using this for exercise and fun with the kids! We also rented a Pontoon from Pontoons on the Move that was delivered to Rock Lake to a launch that is literally a few houses away. There is also a local place to rent the pontoon if you only want one for a few hours, but we wanted one for our entire stay. We used the fire pit every night with plenty of Adirondack chairs for everyone! Book this house, you'll love it!

Rock Lake Vacation

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful home on Rock Lake! Cindy and Brad are terrific owners and were very responsive. It is obvious they care a great deal about their home. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us, although we could have easily fit a few more people! Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glassware, and cooking utensils. We rented a pontoon boat for the week from Pontoons on the Move, and a jet ski for two days from Madison Jet Ski Rental. The Elm Point boat launch is practically right next door which made picking up and dropping off the boat super easy! We also drove to Backyard Bikes and rented some bikes for an 18-mile ride. We loved being able to go out on the boat in the morning, stop back at the house for lunch, and go out again for the afternoon. The house is located close to the town of Lake Mills and the grocery store. Milwaukee is only 45 minutes away with lots of activities and great restaurants. This was our first lake vacation, and we would love to return to this home and Rock Lake!

A Christmas Reunion

We entered the beautiful home greeted by a wonderfully decorated and light Christmas tree!! The incredible vista over the frozen lake, with the winds whipping up the snow, was the back drop to our entire stay. Lake Mills is near our hometown of Waterloo where family remain. So the house was filled with the JOY of Christmas and family fun, an incredible place to create new memories. The house met all our needs and the owners were thoughtful and kind throughout the entire process. Thank you Cindy and Brad!

Wonderful Lake Home

Excellent spacious lake home. Clean with many wonderful features, an open concept,great lake views. Great floor plan for a large family. Kitchen equipped with everything. The view of the lake is seen throughout the house. It's awesome to see the lake as you prepare food and still be able to be with family and see the lake. The screened porch was amazing. We loved the lake. Minimal boat traffic for a holiday weekend. Other great features were the kayaks, paddleboat, air hockey and the bunkroom for kids! We loved having these extra things to do. Our only negative is that the beds were rather uncomfortable. There isn't a box spring and the mattresses are light weight. The owners are easy to communicate with and are helpful. We would love to rent this aesome home again!!

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Recker

Host profile image
It has always been a dream for us to own a lake home. We are so excited to be able to have our children and grandchildren enjoy the lake with us. We would love for you to do the same!

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be able to be close to our primary residence near Rockford, Illinois so we could go to the lake for just a day if we so desired. We loved Rock Lake from the first time we saw it and are so grateful to have been able to purchase a home here. It is a beautiful, clear lake and exceptional for boating and fishing. It offers year round activities to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful lake views from almost every room in the house. The property provides 96 feet of lake front for outdoor activities. This premier lake offers clear water quality. The home is located in Lake Mills, which offers year round activities along with the surrounding towns of Cambridge and Fort Atkinson.
