This local spot is so cozy, beautiful and scenic! It's right on the lake with an amazing deck. The owners are so accommodating and go out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The rooms are adorably decorated and very comfy. Close to Castle Rock and Petenwell Lakes and easy driving distance to Dells. Hidden gem for sure!!!

Cabins on the lake is in the process of being renovated in a few ways. The exterior deck has gone a long way towards the finish line. Not all the cabins have been renovated yet. The inside of each is pretty compact but it has everything that you may need to cook, clean and wash up and sleep. The lake is very pretty, has 110 acres. Averages 6 ft deep to a 15-ft maximum depth. There's lots of fish in the lake but also a lot of weeds. Funny, I caught a crappie on a Rapala, and then the next cast it got bit off by a northern. The hosts are very nice and cordial and the prices are very reasonable. Is very nice to sit out on the day and listen to The birds, we saw an eagle once too.

Stayed at the cabins while on a golf trip. The owners welcomed us in the parking lot, helped us get settled in. They were both just so fantastic. Rooms were great and the A/C worked phenomenally. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be staying there again.
