All-Season Beach House Castle Rock Lake - Larry's Lodge
Enjoy a FUN-filled escape in our home set on a 5-acre sand surrounded lake (Beach Lake) with your own private beach! Wake up to the sunrise glistening off the water or watch the gorgeous sunset over the lake around a smoke-less firepit on the patio. Just minutes from Castle Rock Lake (½ a mile from the nearest boat launch), close to great dining options such as Pine Cove Bar & Grill (mmm, smash burgers!), Dirty Turtle Bar & Marina (new tiki bar!), and Shipwreck Bay (gorgeous lake views) or stay in and grill on a charcoal grill. Plus, endless activities to enjoy throughout the year - swimming, boating, hiking, fishing, hunting, ATV/UTV trail riding, golfing, horseback riding, snowmobiling and do not forget, just relaxing. Book a long weekend, a week, or even a month with your family & friends! Our home, also known as Larry’s Lodge, was built as our 2nd home and we want it to feel the same for you! Larry’s can sleep 12 comfortably, but 14 in total – including a queen-size pull-out sofa, all bedrooms have a view of the lake and with three full bathrooms there’s no waiting in line to take a shower! A pack n’ play, various kids’ toys and crafts are kept at the house, so you do not have to tote yours along. On chilly evenings, gather around the stone fireplace on the main level - turned on with just the flip of a switch. And, if you really need to work, there is a workstation available with a monitor! What can you do at Larry’s Lodge? Outdoor Activities: In the warmer months, enjoy swimming, sand/beach toys, catch & release fishing (bring your poles!), full bag set including scoreboard & drink holders, Bottle Bash, yard Yahtzee, and jumbo Jenga. Outdoor toys are located in the garage. In the colder months, watch the autumn colors come to life and the lake freeze over where you can enjoy ice skating or even perhaps a friendly ice hockey game! Ice fishing and ATV/UTV/snowmobiles are not permitted on Beach Lake per the HOA. And of course, cap off your evening huddled around the outdoor fire pit for s’mores and convo, when the weather permits! Indoor Activities: Endless games and puzzles for all ages, including a foosball table! Two 55” Smart TVs in the main living areas plus a 40” Smart TV in the Master Bedroom for you to stream your favorite apps or for gaming enthusiasts, feel free to hook up your gaming device(s)!

This was a great place for our family. We had kids ranging from 14 months to 13 years old. Our adult children loved being so close to the beach, allowing their older kids a little freedom, but still in eyesight. We enjoyed our weekend
Property has everything you need! The beds were all super comfortable. It was the perfect space for a bachelorette weekend. Wish we would have had more time to enjoy there!
My families stay here was great. We had everything we needed and the house was decorated beautifully. Kristy was very welcoming and available at all times!! Definitely recommend!
Great location! Activities for all family members, water lovers or not. Keeps the family together in one house, one location. Great for bonding generations!
My wife and i went with our 2 daughter's and their families and we had an amazing time. Took my granddaughters fishing for the 1st time they loved it. The sand and lake was so much fun with little ones. And the home was beautiful and filled with toys for kids and water activities. We're already talking about going there next year again.
Our group gets together once a year and this year we chose WI. This is a great place to stay - very well stocked kitchen, toys for the lake and toys for kids. Very clean and well laid out for a group of friends. We highly recommend staying here. The hosts respond quickly to any issues you may have.
Great place to relax or enjoy the lake! Beds for all of us and ample dining space. Well stocked kitchen was used daily. Our hosts were quick to answer any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this property for a wonderful place to stay with friends or family!
Great property for young kids. Babies can nap while adults can still hang on the beach. Baby monitors work on the beach as it is so close to the house. Property is clean and beds are comfortably.

Our goals it make it feel like home, keep things simple and FUN! Very happy to hear everyone had a good time. Look forward to having you again!
This place was very accommodating to all of our needs. Plenty of room inside and out. Sitting on your private beach was very nice, no fighting for a place. This was our first vacation with all of our kids and grandkids (69 thru 14) and everyone had a good time. Will definitely recommend to others.
Wonderful property! Enough for family to do so didnt have to leave for anything! Beautiful, spacious, modern and clean. They have everything you could possibly need and more. Quick reply from owners with questions!!

Dave, we loved having you and your family! Thank you so much for the kind words. Hope to have you stay again at Larry's! Happy Summer!
The house was so clean! Plenty of room for the kids to play. The beach was so nice and clean - no seaweed or rocks. So many fun outdoor things for the kids to do! Also, we had great neighbors so that was a plus! Overall 10/10
Great location with tons of activities to do. The beach was a great place to play for the kids.
The water and sand were very clean.
The house had plenty of space and everything we needed throughout the week. Tim and Kristy were great hosts and did everything they could to make sure we had a positive stay. We are already looking at the calendar for a time to come back.
We had a great time at the lake spending time with our adult kids and four grandsons. The house was set up perfect for our needs. The lake kept the boys entertained on the hot days. We were close enough to the dells so we could take in other activities as well! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. 💕

About the host
Hosted by Kristy & Tim Mauer
We are the Mauer’s, Tim & Kristy. We met 14 years ago by chance (yes, at a bar!), married for 12 years and currently live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, about 45-minutes from the WI border.
Why they chose this property
After good friends told us about the Castle Rock Lake area, a quick visit, and some research, it was a “no-brainer” to build. Our excitement grew quickly and before we knew it, we gave it a name, Larry’s Lodge. While we feel the name is catchy, there is a meaning behind it and one you may not expect. Come stay and read the story!
What makes this property unique
Endless activities to enjoy throughout the year! A true all-season property.
