The space *LIVING AREAS* There are two living areas in the home. Both have flat-screen TVs with apps that guests can access using their own accounts (Netflix, Disney+, etc); the living room also has an Xbox 360 with games that guests can enjoy.
*KITCHEN* The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc. We offer a Keurig as well as a drip coffee maker, and provide Keurig pods and ground coffee with sweeteners and creamers.
*BEDROOMS* This property sleeps up to 14 people. There are 5 bedrooms, plus a sofa bed in the family room, and an inflatable mattress available upon request.
Bedroom 1 (king bed with TV) connects to the master bathroom, which has a full bathtub and walk-in shower. It also connects to the master closet, which holds all the “extras” – ironing board, extra pillows, etc.
Bedroom 2 (full bed with TV) and Bedroom 3 (full bed + twin over full bunk bed) are connected by a jack-and-jill bathroom that has a shower/tub combo.
Bedroom 4 (queen bed with TV) is connected to the third bathroom, which has a shower/tub combo. This bathroom also has a second entrance to the mud room, so can be utilized without accessing the bedroom.
Bedroom 5 (twin over full bunk bed) is the only bedroom that does not connect directly to a bathroom.
*LAUNDRY* A washer and dryer are available for guest use in the mud room. We provide detergent pods and fabric softener sheets (both are dye-free and fragrance-free).
Amenities *HOT TUB* The hot tub is available for guest use year-round. We provide beach towels for guests to use, as well.
*GRILL* The grill is available year-round. We provide propane for the grill, so no need to bring your own!
*DOCK* The dock is approximately 75 yards down the lake from the house, along a shared path that is easy to find. The dock is generally accessible May - September.
*BOAT LIFT* Guests are allowed to use the boat lift with prior approval. Our boat lift accommodates many fishing/sporting boats and does not fit pontoon boats or any boat with a large tower. Boats cannot be left tied to the dock without being on the lift. If you need to pull your boat out of the water at night, Michael’s Landing is just 0.2 miles down the road and offers a dockless launch where you can easily pull your boat in and out.
Guest access This property is accessible through a key pad on the door. The codes to access the home will be provided prior to your stay and are unique to each booking.

This was a perfect place for our multi-generational family gathering. We had lots of space, and loved the kitchen island for chatting during meal prep. The dining table was big enough for 10 of us to fit. The hosts were very responsive and helpful.
Comfortable, roomy, clean, fun place for a family to stay. Bedrooms have plenty of beds and space, nice clean restrooms, plenty of cooking equipment for preparing meals. Really enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub in the evening. Short drive for renting boats and other equipment for having fun on the lake. Would definitely stay here again.
Thank you for opening your rental to us! Our family deeply enjoyed our time and the space along with the number of bedrooms was perfect. The rental is very clean and comfortable for a large family.We plan to return year!
My group and I had a great time at this property. Everything you need for a quick getaway. Jennifer was also so nice and great with communicating. Such a great experience all around.
Very nice space for our family christmas! Close to a nice sledding hill and the house had everything we needed for cooking and grilling. Excellent place
Great place to stay. We loved the 2 living rooms and open concept living so we all felt together while still having our own private rooms. (5 couples, 2 toddlers and an infant) Outdoors was beautiful. Hot tub was perfect for a cool fall evening. Quiet, private area, and a deer family we saw regularly. The host was very accommodating and very responsive to any questions that came up. Would highly recommend and will surely be booking again.
House was great! Plenty of space inside and a big deck outside with seating for everyone. House was clean when we arrived, and had everything we needed
The property overall was great. The only negetive comment i have is access to the lake was not easy unless you have a boat.

Margie, thank you for the feedback on lake access. I'd love if you could share more details on how access was different than you expected. We try to be really clear in the listing about where the dock is, and include pictures of both the dock itself and the staircase to it. But if there is something we should further clarify to properly set folks expectations, we'd love to know the specifics. Please just drop me a note, and thanks for being our guest!
Everything was as advertised. Easy in and easy out and the home/property was perfect for what we needed. Very modern and clean. Will definitely consider booking again next year.
Our family of 7 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs had a wonderful stay at this wonderful lake home. The home had everything we needed to keep all of us entertained. The home was filled with wonderful amenities including the lovely welcome basket. The gated deck was wonderful for our furry family members. Communication with the owners was exceptional prompt. The information about the house and property was exact, no surprises. Thanks for sharing your beautiful property.

Loved our Stay on Castle Rock Lake
We loved our stay in your property. The house was huge and very well decorated. It accomodated us well with three bathrooms and four bedrooms. We loved the back yard fire pit and you could put in your kayaks within walking distance. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the hot tub, too. It was very clean and the owners were super to work with. This was also our first time to Castle Rock Lake. There are two boat landings that were very close and we used them both. The lake is huge and has some fun restaurants, especially on the southern side of the lake. For a great time, I definitely recommend you stay here!

Beautiful lake home
Beautiful home with LOTS of space to spread out, which was perfect for four kids and three adults. Home is close to restaurants, beaches, and two state parks. The hot tub was wonderful, but by the end of our stay it desperately needed maintenance we weren't sure how to do. The only big con for us is that we rented the home specifically for the dock that was pictured on the listing, but when we arrived there was no dock. We had four very disappointed kids and three frustrated adults who then had to go off site more than we planned to seek water entertainment for the kids.

It's Incredible Being Home... Away From Home
My kids decided that they really wanted to spend this last spring break in the Dells, all together. With 7 and 2 kids, we really needed a VRBO rather than hotel rooms and that is when we found this incredible home. With 4 bedrooms, 1 with bunk beds, 3 good size baths (the master suite being WOW), 2 huge living spaces, an office, washer and dryer, a hot tub, and a beautiful view of the river (and all of nature's woodland creatures, this was PERFECT. The owners were super responsive when needed and they had all of the amenities of actually being home. It was the PERFECT place for all of us to put down our phones, play games, talk, grill out, and just be a family. I can't thank you enough for providing not only a wonderful home away from home, but also at a price we couldn't have imagined. We will be back again and again.
This was absolutely a steal at the price! 4 great bedrooms, 1 with a full and bunkbeds. 3 good sized bathrooms. with the master being... WOW! Skylights and plenty of windows to flood the place with natural light. 2 HUGE living spaces, an office/ extra bedroom, washer and dryer, grill, hot tub and all of the amenities of home! Simply great communication by the owners and everything was better than expected (and as a former hotel manager, we expected a lot!). Clean, comfortable and a great space for everyone to spread out when needed or come together and play games. What a wonderful way to spend a week away. I couldn't recommend this house and team enough. It was perfect.

Perfect for our family
House was the perfect size for our family of 5. We were all spaced out and had our own rooms. There were deer in the the backyard every morning to greet us. The hot tub provided some much needed relaxation.
