Paddler's Paradise on Lake McGinnis

Tastefully updated rustic cabin on a quiet lake

Our cabin is a short 30 minute drive to the Dells and is located just 3.5 hours from Minneapolis, 3 hours from Chicago, 2 hours from Milwaukee and only 1 hour from Madison!
Woodside (Dells) Sports Complex and Woodside(Mauston) Sports Complex are both 25 minutes away. This is a perfect place to stay for youth sports events. Why pay for a hotel when you can stay here?

There is an Arcade 1 up system featuring 516 old school video games including Mrs. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Frogger, and Dig Dug to name a few. Kids of all ages will enjoy hours of fun on this system. There is a walk-out exit into another screened in sitting area that leads to the fire pit and level back yard.

The town of Oxford is about 10 minute drive if you forgot something there is a Dollar General and liquor store. There are also several restaurants. On weekends in summer, they have flea markets. Westfield is about 15 minutes away and has restaurants, a grocery store and other shops.
Paddler’s Paradise is a welcoming space for a quiet and relaxing family/friends getaway. Sorry, but it's not the place you're looking for if you are looking for big parties or bachelor/bachelorette locations. We hope that all guests will respect the nature as well as the neighbors in the area.

Clean house; nice amenities
We went with friends for a long weekend and our families, including 4 adults and 3 kids aged 6-12, had room to spread out and space to sleep/play. The property is one of the cleanest I have stayed at and while the weather turned cold on us and we didn't end up using them, we appreciated that there were kayaks, a canoe and a fire pit available. Inside, there was plenty of entertainment too with board games, the video games and multiple TVs. The wifi/Roku setup gave us some troubles in terms of being able to log in but normally, if it were nicer outside, we would have been on the TVs less anyway. The dining area offered seating for 8 which was nice and then, outdoors there is another table on the deck...so, would consider coming back when it is warmer, for sure. A nice fireplace did keep us cozy indoors! About 30min from the Dells and really not much else around besides a couple of very small towns. The place is 'just off the road' and neighbors are on either side but didn't seem like anyone was in the homes when we were there in Oct. They probably are there in the summer which would probably be fine but it is definitely not secluded from other properties if that is important to you. Overall, a really nice, comfortable, stay with room for our group!

Very nice stay
The house was huge and comfortably fit 2 families. The house was well stocked, was clean and reasonably close to Wisconsin Dells for a couple of day trips. It was equipped with a canoe, kayaks and paddle boards which we got good use out of. The lake had a fair amount of weeds in it, but didn't bother the kids, and the fishing was good. Overall a great place to stay, would do it again.

Family vacation 2023
We enjoyed how big the house was. The water sports were enjoyed by everyone! Our grandkids had so much fun in the water and also we all loved the game room. A trip to remember. The house was stocked with plenty of dishwear, cooking, and utensils. The big fridge held all we brought.
