Behnkes Bungalow
The Space:
Travel to a secluded and tranquil getaway along Dead Pike Lake, where you can connect with nature, escape the humdrum of everyday life, and create memories that'll last a lifetime. This is a fantastic retreat, no matter what time of year you visit. Guests will love fishing, kayaking, sailing, and paddleboarding on the lake in the summer and ice skating and ice fishing in the winter. Experience great hiking trails, golf courses, and local ski resorts to enhance your Wisconsin vacation, and don't forget to sample some cheese curds in the local eateries!
Upon entry, you'll be met with a bright interior and a warm feeling of welcome throughout the two-bedroom space. Relax and make yourself at home by resting on the plush furniture, streaming your favorite movies on the large TV, or curling up with a good book by the crackling fireplace. Hobby chefs will love preparing grand meals and lake picnic snacks in the full kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances, a countertop dishwasher, and a formal dining table. Comfortable beds and spacious bedrooms ensure that everyone will receive a restful night's sleep from the day's adventures. Enjoy roasting marshmallows at the firepit and sharing stories until the stars come out to dot the crystal-clear sky.

Our stay at the lake house was absolutely perfect! The home was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The views of the water were stunning, and we loved spending mornings with coffee on the deck and evenings by the fire pit. The location was peaceful yet close enough to town for anything we needed. We would highly recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing escape—we can’t wait to come back!

Great place.
Nicely updated very clean cabin. Great for 4 people. Nice furniture, deco, and modern appliances, with a comfy bed too. An easy level short walk to the lake with a soft sand bottom so you can swim from shore. Very quiet area. We saw some amazing sunsets and there's a great view of the lake from the cabin. We hope to visit again.
Long driveway bud couldn’t get my snowmobile trailer to the property.
Very beautifully done with stunning views! Loved this place!

Comfy and Charming, and More than a Cottage
Don’t be misled by the word “bungalow” because this is a real house, solidly built with modern amenities. The front windows are large, and the lake is so close you could hit it with a pinecone. I will be back!
