The Space:
“We planned to go to the Dells or Castle Lake, but honestly, we were too comfortable to leave…Incredible stay!” - Cory
Welcome to Beach Cottage! When we first saw this property, we knew immediately we'd found something special. It wasn't just the great location or the sandy beach that starts right from our back door – it was the feeling that this was where families create those perfect vacation memories. We fell in love with having morning coffee on the deck with the rising sun reflecting off the water, evening bbq cookouts, and s'mores around the fire pit as the stars come out. You walk in and see the lake right away through the huge windows. Beyond that was a large deck where we had breakfast and dinners and watched our kids roll in the sand." - Cory
The heart of our home is really the connection between indoor and outdoor living. Those floor-to-ceiling windows aren't just for show – they frame the lake like living artwork that changes throughout the day. But what guests really rave about is stepping outside.
The screened in porch is where many of our guests spend their evenings – there's something magical about watching the sunset through the screens while staying cozy around the propane fire table. And yes, those are real wine glasses from Burr Oak Winery in the photos!

“The house was set up great for our two families - one family used the 2 upstairs rooms and other had their privacy with the 2 rooms downstairs. The kids enjoyed the beach right outside the back door & the adults enjoyed watching them from the deck.” - Nicole
OUTSIDE - Private Sandy Beach & Water Adventures:
An absolute guest favorite is the backyard and we love it too! What’s great is you can step out from the screened porch or walk down the stairs from the upper deck - so convenient! Right off the porch is an outdoor table with seating for 4. You can set up yard games, like corn hole, out on the grass or have a little picnic.
And just a few steps further and you’re on the sand. Set up the beach chairs and take out the kayaks and floaties and make a splash! Gather around the firepit for s’mores and head back up to the deck for some BBQ dinner.

We had our family of 13 stay and it couldn’t have been any more perfect! The lake and beach area was just right for our grandkids aged 6 and under. So many activities provided with the beautiful house. We especially loved the screened in porch. Will definitely stay again!

This property was perfect for our Bachelorette Party weekend. Beautiful home, exceptionally clean, with great amenities such as beach chairs, beach towels and water floats. Neighborhood around the lake was extremely friendly as was surrounding restaurant and bar area.
