About this property
Private Retreat offering solitude and relaxation
Welcome to Cedar Springs Reserve. The property is 170 acres, and surrounds 398 acres of shallow lake and wetlands. If you enjoy fishing there are perch and bluegill to be teased out of the lilies, but you will have to work hard to find them.
There's lots of wildlife. Fabulous river tubing just minutes away.
Canoes and kayaks available. The entire facility is undergoing on-going renovations, expect new carpeting, fixtures, appliances.
The space
Spread out into a comfortable King Master Bedroom with its own sitting area, TV, closet and ensuite bath. A second queen bedroom awaits with a full closet, TV, and its own exterior door. The "Hardy Boy Room" features two twin beds, bureau and closet. There is a loft with two more twin beds. We are constantly adding finishing touches so we apologize not all areas are complete yet. We will be adding photos over the next few weeks different areas are finished up.
The living room is open-concept, with a gas fireplace and Satellite TV and leads out to a large deck. Note on the TV: because sattelite service is our only option our here for TV and WIFI, we just want you to know that it can be spotty. Especially in bad weather. Which we have a lot of here in Wisconsin! If TV is essential to your vacation happiness, please don't book this house, as we have no control over this aspect. The wifi is good for light-duty surfing and emails, don't expect to stream movies.
Our house has surround sound now with bluetooth so you can play your own tunes and they will sound great.
Guest access
Guests may have full run of the property, except for the storage garages where we keep our equipment. There is a tent outside where we keep our wood pile for our construction materials, please instruct children to keep clear of that. For example we did not advertise a large bar/sunroom that is being worked on but not ready for occupancy yet.
Other things to note: We have one other rental on the property, a tiny floating house out on the lake. The aluminum canoe is reserved for those renters. It is usually rented by solo travelers seeking time alone or by couples seeking back-country camping experiences. They will park by the canoe landing area and won't bother you a bit.
Our place isn't 100% perfect yet as there are many planned amenities we are still working hard to complete. The sunroom is not complete, the dock had to be pulled out by an excavator early this year due to major ice damage this past winter. You can still launch your canoes/kayaks alrightm but just know its a temporary situation. The hot tub/pavillion are still under construction. The hot tub is working, just doesn't have the pavillion done yet, its functional (no bugs!) but not very "beautiful" . There is a tent outside where we keep the wood we are working on (all the wood we use is from the property and has to be be cut and sawn, hand-peeled, so you will see many things in progress ).
