About this property

ROBINS NEST FRIENDSHIP LAKEHOUSE RETREAT

Escape to our beautiful 3BR, 1 nook, 3 bath vacation home located on scenic Lake Roche-a-Cri. Rain or shine, you will find things to entertain at the Robin's Nest. Take a ride on a canoe, paddle boat or one of 6 kayaks…. or cast a line if fishing is your happy place. Our pole barn will not disappoint, especially on a rainy day. It includes corn hole, ping pong, foosball, a pool table, and other family games. It's a short drive to Wisconsin Dells or several championship golf courses nearby.

This 2200 square foot home has 150’ lake frontage on peaceful Lake Roche A Cri, sitting on a one-and-a-half-acre parcel with plenty of yard space for outside activities. There are 2 large full-length decks facing the lake with seating for the whole family to enjoy your morning coffee or the beautiful sunsets in the evening. If there is inclement weather, you can enjoy the recreation area in our pole barn which includes a custom dry bar and a variety of family games, including a foosball, ping pong and pool table, as well as a sitting area with a TV and DVD player with a selection of family favorites. Enjoy the large fire pit…roasting s’mores or enjoy gazing at the country sky.

Enjoy several professional golf courses near our home including Sand Valley, Lake Arrowhead - Pines Course, Castle Rock, Northern Bay, Wisconsin River and many more!! Add family memories in the Wisconsin Dells which is a short 35 minutes from our location. Find other local amenities within the welcome binder. High speed Internet access thru personal log-in on 5 televisions. The Outside Security cameras in pole-barn front and backyard are installed for safety precautions and the security of our guests. there is a fourth room on lower level with queen bed, and full closet but is considered a nook rather than a bedroom as there is no window in the room. We offer seasonal discounts for this property due to changes in temperature from September through May. The kayaks, canoe and paddle boat and outdoor lawn furniture are stored for the winter. The pole barn is not heated, but isopen year-round to use if temperatures allow. Due to the frigid Wisconsin weather.. this area can be difficult to use in the winter, which is why we offer a seasonal discount.

Awesome!

We had such a fantastic stay at the Robins Nest! The house is beautiful and well equipped for our large family. The large backyard and games provided gave all the kids room to run and play. We also enjoyed fishing from the dock, and kayaking. It is so peaceful and a very lovely place to stay. We are planning to make this a yearly family getaway. We woukd highly recommend the Robins Nest!

Perfect lakefront getaway

The house was everything my group needed it to be. Adults and kids were entertained. We enjoyed kayaking, the paddle boat, ping-pong, air hockey, and billiards. About a 10-minute drive to a nice public beach, and only a 40-minute drive down for a day at the Dells. We look forward to coming back next summer!!!

Beautiful Lake House

The host was absolutely outstanding to work with. The home was beautifully decorated with furniture and decor that said “lake house”. The home was spotless. Beds very comfortable. Plenty of space for family and friends to gather. All appliances and dishware that you could possibly need is available. When you step onto the deck you are greeted with a spectacular view of the lake. A great place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. Plenty of yard for kids to play . Grandsons enjoyed swimming in lake, kayaking and paddle boating. All available to use, along with life jackets. We brought our UTV and enjoyed lots of riding on the country roads. You can end your day with a relaxing campfire. I highly recommend enjoying a vacation at this beautiful lake home .

Jewel in Wisconsin

Kim is an amazing, loving host. Beautiful property with big backyard, fire pit, and pine trees along the shore line of a wonderful Big Roche 71 lake. Great location! As a family of 6 adults and 3 kids we had so much fun. Having a barn with variety of games to play during sunny or raining day was extra fun. Cannot thank Kim enough of such memorable vacation! Rent with confidence. You won't regret! Make sure to add a pontoon from local providers for additional lake enjoyment: swimming, fishing, etc.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Moravec and Robin Conn

Host profile image
Mother and daughter working to create a family friendly property for large and small gatherings. As our families grew and our trips to Adams County and Disney world became more challenging we wanted to create a space that you have never been to before. We have put our all into creating a cozy space that accommodates every type of group, when it comes to outdoors activities to being stuck inside on a rainy day.

Why they chose this property

Adams County has been a place of interest with our family of 14 since our children have been babies. It has lakes, beaches and attractions whichever way you travel down highway 13. It is in close proximity of the Wisconsin Dells and Wisconsin Rapids which brings a wide variety of entertainment and family fun within 30 minutes of the property.

What makes this property unique

It was never just one spot of our property that struck our eyes, it was everything we have put together to keep you comfortable and entertained. Enjoy our properties waterfront with a relaxing canoe ride, or launch our kayaks or 4 person paddle boat from your own backyard. In the evening gather the family around the fire pit enjoying s'mores and watching the beautiful sunsets. If you encounter inclement weather, no problem, venture out to the pole barn for a choice of family entertainment including an air hockey, foosball, and ping pong table and a variety of other game choices.
