Loved the area. Very quiet most of the time. The place was very nice and welcoming. Enjoyed the decorations and really liked the screened in porch. Would recommend this to friends/family.
Cute, super clean, fully equipped cozy cottage near Castle Rock Lake (the boat launch less than a mile away). The home is located in a quiet neighborhood which was great for long walks. Enjoyed a great holiday getaway and will plan to return!

Sunset cottage is super clean and nicely decorated. We enjoyed our long weekend in the woodsy and quiet neighborhood; relaxing and taking Long walks together.
It was the perfect place, everything we needed, and the location was code to boat ramp. Our grandsons (9 and 11) loved it, they didn’t want to leave. We will be back, and our host was so easy to work with.5 stars
The property exceeded our expectations in overall appearance, cleanliness and functionalitySo much care and thought is put into this property and it shows. Appreciate it so much.

We absolutely loved the cottage! It was super clean, truly a home away from home. There was no detail missed. Our favorite spot was the screened in porch where we spent 90% of our time. It is super quiet out there and relaxing. We will be back.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. Knowing guests left happy is music to our ears and so appreciated. It really helps others make their vacation lodging choices. Thank you also for popping our towels in the washer and running the cycle. Big help!! Have a lovely summer and we look forward to having you back!
The place is like brand new with top notch lighting furniture mattresses appliances ect.... Very well stocked with everything a person could need. The roku tv was awesome cause I got it at home. Just signed in on the apps and watched the pack and the Talladega race which is always a must watch. Looking forward to another stay next year if they'll have me. Wish Id win the lottery so I could have my own cabin just like this one. Highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed

Thank you for such a nice review of our home and for taking such good care of it during your stay. We are so glad you enjoyed your time away and look forward to your next visit!
Check in was very efficient & accurate. I’m from Necedah & my parents live 5 mins down the street. My only concern regarding this property was the strong odor of animal pee in the living area. When you walk in, you smell a very distinct smell.

I want to point out that the wool area rug in the living room can present a “distinct smell” of damp wool at times and has been this way since we purchased it new. This may be present at times when the home has sat empty and is closed up several days between guests without leaving the air on. This was the case before your visit. We have experienced a long period of very high heat and humidity recently which I’m sure hasn’t helped. I’m sorry this bothered you. None of our previous guests have ever mentioned this before but we will have a professional guide us on a treatment or replacement. Thanks for your review and for bringing this to my attention. Janette
This is a great place! Everything you need is there. One of the very few rentals that I have stayed at where the kitchen knives are actually usable! Clean, comfortable, and Janette is the best host ever! I would like to give this place an 11 out of 10 rating.
My son had a LAX tournament and we chose to VRBO. This cabin was awesome! Dad/son time that does not happen much. Fire pit and screened porch are great. All your needs are included and the beds are comfortable. Location has nearby restaurants/supermarket.

Very quiet neighborhood until the Packers kicked a field goal in the last 3 seconds to win the game. Everything you need is there and easy to find
We'll be back for sure.

So glad you had a great time. Thanks for choosing our home. Hope to see you soon! Janette
The rental was amazing, photos do not do this place justice. Fully stocked with cooking supplies, games, and movies. The neighborhood was quiet. 5 minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute walk to a hiking area. Would definitely stay in this rental on my next visit to the area.

Our kids called it the best house on the lake. They loved the area very close to the lake beaches and fun We were near great fishing spots and beaches. The state park was a whole 5 mins away where there was a great kids fishing pond. 4 mins from the general store. Quiet day and night. Kids loved the fire pit s’mores and hotdogs. Husband love the screened in back porch sat and read his books. The house they did an amazing job renovating and decorating. So clean. Definitely took some decorating ideas home with me to use. Worth the stay.

Thank you for choosing our home. So glad both the kids and adults enjoyed it.
This was a great stay in a well stocked and nicely decorated VRBO. Two bedrooms, one with a double bed, and one with a queen, very comfortable bed with nice linens. The unit is stocked with everything and anything you would possibly need during your stay. Communication with the owner was fantastic, she is a very nice lady and so helpful. The unit is stocked with tons of movies to watch along with some great books and reading material. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. One of our favorite things was the delightful screened in porch where we enjoyed The evening sunsets and early morning sunrise. We would definitely stay here again.

By the way, just to be clear so people reading this review understand, the second bedroom also has a Queen bed. 😉 Janette
The property is exactly as described. It is very clean, organized, tastefully decorated and is in a great location. The owner's attention to details were greatly appreciated. There is plenty of room for a truck and a boat trailer. We also appreciated Janette's promptness in her responses to our messages.

The cottage living room now has a new Roku TV. Thank you for making us aware of the issue you experienced with our TV. The Roku stick, albeit new, was likely defective so we replaced both it and the TV. Thanks again for choosing our cottage and for your suggestions.
This was the best VRBO home we have stayed in! In other rentals, we have always needed to go out and buy something (there was one that only had ONE roll of tp for the whole week, and no paper towels, and had to go to the store for it. This house had everything, and more..even extra light bulbs, food wrap, etc! The beds were very comfortable. The living room furniture was comfy, they even had firewood for the firepit! The kitchen was so well stocked with every tool you can think of! The bathroom closet had baskets filled with things like soap and other toiletries. The house was extremely clean and in a beautiful neighborhood. The Host was wonderful to work with. I had a few questions right after I booked it, and she responded very quickly! I wouldn’t hesitate to book this VRBO home again, and highly recommend it to everyone!

We are so glad you enjoyed our home and appreciate that you shared your experience. Supplying the little extras really makes a big difference and suggestions are always welcomed. We also thank you for taking such good care of our place. We hope to see you again! Janette
We have stayed at many cabins and cottages throughout Wisconsin as well as the East Coast. By far, this has been the best house with the most amenities and the most well taken care of property that we have ever stayed for a far better price than the others.
When we have a couple of weeks, we will definitely ask to stay here again and enjoy the lake and staying in to bake bread and grill some fish and steak over the fire pit.
I have traveled the entire world from Siberia to the tip of Argentina to China to the center of Wisconsin, and we believe this has been the best place we have stayed. Thank you Janette.
