About this property

Ultimate All-Season Cabin w/ Private Swimming & Fishing Pond at Castle Rock Lake

The home features vaulted knotty pine ceilings in the great room with a wall of windows overlooking the pond, an open concept kitchen with large granite island and stainless steel appliances. The spacious master bedroom/bath with king bed and an additional bedroom with adjacent full bath with queen bed, completes the main level. Overlooking the great room is a loft with two futons, and full-sized/twin bunk bed. The walk-out lower level includes a full bath and 2 more bedrooms with queen beds and twin bunk beds in both. The rec room has another pull-out queen sofa, a flat screen high definition tv above the stone fireplace and opens to a patio leading to the pond. The home features a Sonos Wifi 6 zone sound system for your listening pleasure, allowing you seamless access to your personal music accounts through your phone or ipad along with SiriusXM channels, Spotify, Pandora, and any of your other listening favorites.

Relax with a cup of coffee on the deck with the morning sun overlooking the clean, sand-bottomed 1/3 acre private pond (complete with Otter Island swim raft) while the kids enjoy swimming and chasing frogs. Deer, turkeys, owls and other wildlife can often be spotted from the home which is surrounded by pine trees on a spacious 3 acres. Walk alongside the lake on the public trail and enjoy beautiful views of the lake from the tops of the shoreline bluffs. Wind down your day by the outdoor firepit while roasting marshmallows and being serenaded by crickets and frogs. We even supply the firewood!

The pond is stocked with bluegill, black crappies, and large-mouth bass, allowing for a great catch and release fishing experience for the kids.

Enjoy our private beach volleyball court and horseshoe pits!

Numerous games are provided for rainy day fun. Stream your favorite apps on one of our 7 flat screen tv's with our Roku devices. Your short drive to The Dells opens a whole world of entertainment including a movie theater, casino, mini golf, go-karts, roller coasters and nearly any other adventure you can think of!

A county park is just minutes away to launch your boat or other water toys. There are reasonable dock rentals available 10 minutes from the home.

There are pontoon and jet ski rentals just a few short miles away. Several restaurants and lake bars with great food and nightly entertainment await you.

Plenty of activities surround the home in winter as well. Snowmobilers have instant access to the Juneau County snowmobile trails which are right across the street. If you are looking to ski or snowboard, Cascade Mountain is only 40 minutes away and Christmas Mountain a mere 25 minutes from the home. Trails along the lake make for great snowshoeing. Several sledding hills are nearby along with cross-country skiing and sleigh rides. After a long day of playing hard in the snow, relax with a cocktail by one of the 2 cozy indoor fireplaces.

You won't be disappointed in this fantastic home and the entertainment and beauty that Castle Rock Lake and the surrounding area has to offer!

Note: security cameras monitor the outside of the property including the driveway, front door, and pond areas.

A perfect Vacation

We had such a good time in the Dells, and a great time at our VRBO! There was room for all of us (14) including a table that could hold us all plus a high chair. The kids loved swimming in their own private pond that had all the inflatables and rowing options you could want, and they fished every night with lots of success. Everything we required was there in good shape! Loved it!

Wonderful stay

We just left this home and we all loved it. It is a beautiful property and is spacious and clean with plenty of room for all of us. It nearly has everything that you would need to a getaway from home - espcially for families with small children. Pack n play, strollers, high chairs, lawn chairs, life jackets, etc. Mark communicated everything in a timely manner. We really enjoyed our time here.

Great property with many amenities and plenty of room

Great property with many amenities and plenty of room. Sleeps 16 or a few more. Lots to do for younger kids...…..swimming, fishing, paddle boarding, relaxing on the floating deck on the private pond, etc. Sand Volleyball and horseshoes too. Firepit for burning logs on a campfire. This was our 3rd stay. Mark, the owner is a super nice guy and very responsive

Space for everyone...and a good stock of supplies. Found a waffle maker this year .... I see us having Pumpkin Spice! Big kitchen table for eating and games when it rained. Plenty of chairs, firewood, outside for fires at night, no need to bring. Our family loves it so much we have booked again for next year.

I don't even know where to begin! We had the most amazing family getaway weekend in this beautiful area and this beautiful home! Mark is the ultimate host - everything was exactly as expected, the home was fully stocked, and we had plenty of space for everyone in our family.

Great stay with everything you need

Rented this property for a second time. First time was with friends; this time with family. It exceeded expectations yet again. Very clean, well-maintained, spacious and with an abundance of amenities. The pond is the source of endless fun--fishing, swimming, kayaking, floating or looking for frogs. The kids loved it. Mark is very responsive and answered a few questions immediately. The Sonos sound system is a great touch, we had music playing all weekend and we were easily able to control where it was playing so the kids could nap. We are already planning our return!

Really great place!

First and foremost, the owner was a pleasure to work with! He was always very quick to respond, provided lots of good information, and overall just helped ensure that we had a great stay! Thank you again! The house is excellent - exactly as the pictures showed. There's a lot of outdoor space, which was perfect for playing lawn games. The volleyball court was in good condition (extra kudos for the excellent quality of the sand - little to no gravel!). The private pond was awesome. The garage had a bunch of much-appreciated supplies: float items for the pond, lawn chairs (lots of them), paddleboards, etc. The layout was great too - the walkout basement provided direct access to the pond and the fire pit. We had 14 people, so the massive dining room table was just the right size for meals and games. The sound system provided music to all common rooms and to the outdoor areas. Here is some additional information about the place that might be helpful: 1.) I have Sprint as my cell provider, and I had basically zero coverage. However, the house WiFi made that a non-issue. I think our friends with US Cellular and Verzion had the best cell reception. 2.) The house itself is basically 2 large common areas (the main floor dining+kitchen+living area, and then the basement family room) with the bedrooms directly off those areas. The loft is open to the main floor common area. So with that said, if you have a large group that isn't planning on being outside much (I don't know why you wouldn't, the outdoor area here is amazing), you might find it hard to find a quiet space. 3.) For the volleyball enthusiasts - the court didn't have lines. There may have been a set in the garage, but we didn't care enough to look / ask. If that matters to you / your group, you may want to bring your own. Again, the court itself was nice with good sand. Overall, this place is 10/10 and was perfect for our group. Highly recommended. Thanks!
