Lakefront 3-bedroom cottage with private dock & amazing sunset view

This charming lakefront cottage gives you a bright & airy feel throughout with a stunning sunset view over Lake Petenwell. Our cottage is decked out in a beach theme and the 3 bedrooms have a total of 5 beds. The 3rd bedroom is tucked off the back corner of the house for ultimate privacy. Fast streaming internet allows you to stay connected or binge watch your favorite series. Watch our smart TV in the living room or enjoy the 65" TV in our rec room where you can raise the garage door to enjoy the lake view or tailgate and grill outside while the game plays on the big screen. If you are into coffee then you might enjoy our well received coffee bar in the kitchen.

If you’re into the outdoors, you’ll find fishing from your own private dock during the summer & ATV/snowmobile trails along with miles of hiking trails right out the front door. Enjoy cooking smores or a tasty beverage at our lakeside firepit while the sun sets. Within walking distance to the county park, gorgeous beach, boat launch, marina & bar / restaurant. Lake Petenwell is the 2nd largest lake at 23,000 acres and connects to the Wisconsin River offering over 20 miles of boating for all types of watercraft. There are multiple beaches, restaurants / bars, pontoon rentals, and even a marina with gas on the water. Enjoy great fishing year round.

A short drive from golf courses such as Sand Valley, Lake Arrowhead, & Northern Bay, public hunting, casino, Dyracuse Recreation Park, Wisconsin Trapshooting complex, and 35 minutes from the WI Dells & so much more!

For security purposes, our cottage has two external audio video recording devices. One above garage door facing driveway and front door and a second one on the southeast corner of our cottage facing the back yard.

The place that has it all !
This place was extremely clean and well stocked! The notebook in the cottage was very helpful. It included every emergency contact you could think of. Places to go and places to eat. Also explained what to and what not to do in the cottage. Most of all, slept like babies which was most needed. Thanks for sharing your place with us!

Nice place, good location
We had a nice stay but it was foiled by misrepresented listing on private boat dock and enjoy fishing all year round. The dock was pulled the week before we got there and no one let us know even though I specifically said we were there to fish. It made for an annoying weekend of driving and putting in and taking out. Other than that it was a nice clean place in a prime location.

Beautiful location!
We had such a nice time at the cottage. The view of the lake is beautiful, and the yard/firepit are perfect for enjoying the scenery. The location is also close to a nice beach. Would definitely stay again!

Family lake weekend
We enjoyed this cabin on the lake for a weekend with our adult kids. Nicely appointed, comfortable and great location with access to the lakefront for beautiful sunsets. Close to boat launch so we could be on the water in no time.

Girls weekend
Location is perfect for a lakefront vacation. House had plenty of room for all of us. Enjoyed the use of the dock and built in bench, very nice dock with even a ladder to get in/out of the water. Short drive to campground beach if preferred.Had snacks, water, coffee station like listed and streaming services on tv was nice. Can semi-tell the neighbors dont like guest even though we were respectful. Some things to appreciate for next time: Extra folding table (use outside or in garage), cleaning person was still there at check in and had to let us in because the code didnt work. They do have a Ring security system attached to garage that faced the front yard/entryway which i didnt see listed in the house description.
