Reel in the Fun: @ Lakeside Getaways Lake Poygan
Such a wonderful experience! The place is perfect for a getaway or even a longer stay. The surroundings are beautiful—we enjoyed breakfast on the terrace, did some grilling, and even tried a bit of fishing. Everything was super clean with a stylish, tasteful design. I would definitely come back for a summer experience!

Charming and tidy lake home near Montello, a town with plenty to do! Neighbors were friendly! Beautiful sunsets over Buffalo Lake!

Silver Lake Home with Up North Panoramic Views
We had a family ladies weekend here. It was the perfect spot. Lots of extra blankets and pillows for our families comfort during this cold January weather. Jarin was so easy to work with.

The Bluegill on Little Green Lake
The best lakeside stay in our area of Wisconsin! Wonderful home. The setting is gorgeous. The home has three lovely bedrooms, a huge window in the living room, with an awesome view of Little Green Lake. The hosts, Phil and Judy, have thought of everything to make this place cozy with all needed conveniences. You will have wonderful surroundings, regardless of the season.

Fun Lake Kosh Private Pier, Decks, Fire Pit, Grill
Great Place!! felt right at home. The location is perfect as it is minutes from the main highway, going to Janesville or Madison was a breeze, also Local restaurants and bars within walking distance. The house itself is beautiful, rooms are big and the playroom was a hit with the kids and parents as is it next to the living room therefore making it easy to keep an eye on them while in the kitchen or living room. Thanks so much, traveling from Colorado, NC, and Fl to meet in this beautiful house made our family wedding a core memory.

Bonnie Banks - Private Dock for Guests
Ben was very responsive I didn’t have to text him multiple times to get a response he was very friendly although grocery stores are a little distance it was pretty nice especially if you are a person who loves nature and the wildness you would definitely love staying at his property

4 Bedroom Lake House Large Deck
Great place and a perfect location for our purpose! The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a smooth stay. I’d love to check it out during the summer to enjoy even more of what the area has to offer. Highly recommend!

Lakefront Home on quiet sandy lake! All seasons
Overall this Airbnb was great. Michael is extremely responsive and resolved any to all requests and questions in minutes. Only thing that was a suprise to us was that there was no tv in the family room, but Michael assisted us with that as well. Also the area of Wisconsin is great, very peaceful and amazing wildlife. We had an amazing stay here and would love to stay here again.

Rock River Escape
My sister and I were visiting family nearby over Christmas and need a place for everyone to stay. Fawn went above and beyond to create the perfect Christmas stay for our family. She communicated frequently and made sure to leave a pack'n'play, child's cot and stroller for the kids, and decorated the place to feel like Christmas. Plenty of space, nice winter views of the river, and a wonderful shower! Would definitely stay again!

Gorgeous Lakeview Balcony 4 Bedrooms next to pool
This is one of the best locations at NorthBay Resort. His second floor place is perhaps 100' from the lake and has a spectacular view of the lake and sunsets over the lake. The patio furniture is comfortable. The unit matches the photos and his claims. It has multiple screens but the one in the main room could be a bit larger, however it is adequate. The garage is stocked with bikes and lake toys. The unit had ample supplies. I would stay there again. Do note if you like to eat out and want something other then fried food or bar food the restaurant choices are few and far between. There is a good grocery store in Adams that is about 15 min to the east.

Island View Hideaway-Peaceful, On Water, Sandbars!
This is our second time staying here. It was wonderful with the hot tub and cozy, spacious, living room area. The kitchen is well equipped with items. And the view across the river is lovely. Thank you!

Peaceful Wooded Sanctuary- with private dog park!
Emily was probably the best host I've had yet. She was so communicative and checked in to see how my parents were enjoying their stay. lovely place. Thank you Emily!

Little Cabin in the Big Woods - Cabin #2
This was our second year at the cabin and it was absolutely spectacular! We enjoyed our stay again and appreciate your attention to detail with all the include amenities. Thanks Again, Dee

Lilikoi Resort LLC
We loved our stay. From the moment we reserved the Lilikoi to our checkout, Daryl was very attentive and responsive. It blew us away on how peaceful it was there. My girlfriend’s son rode a bike for the first time without training wheels, went kayaking for his first time, and learned archery. There was a lot of wildlife and we spent most of our time around the camp fire and surrounding woods. Dog friendly trails and lodging. Do yourself a favor a book a weekend or a week. You won’t regret it.

The Villa | 3BR Retreat for 14 w/ Whirlpool Tub
Best condo in Chula Vista we've stayed in! Condo is very spacious with a cozy warm feeling andd very easily fit our family of 7. We will definitely be returning!

The Driftless Escape! Modern, large cabin/57 acres
My family and I stayed at the Driftless Escape Cabin and had a wonderful time! The interior was even more beautiful in person with plenty of space for my whole family. The Kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfy and they had everything you needed. The property was gorgeous with lots of open space and amazing views. We loved playing in the yard and s’mores by the fire. And even though the cabin is close to town, we still felt like we were miles away in nature and truly disconnected!!

Giuseppe's cabin Vacation with great location
Kathy thought ahead and communicated what she thought would be helpful, to give us a good experience. Clean and comfortable. How nice to have multiple bathrooms for the different guests. The backyard was great! Peaceful and private. Thanks Kathy!
Your guide to Lake Wisconsin
All About Lake Wisconsin
Nestled just south of where the neighboring states of Minnesota and Michigan meet Canada, Lake Wisconsin is a large reservoir on the Wisconsin River that’s a popular spot for fishing and boating throughout the year. There are also many state parks and nature reserves within easy reach where you can hike and cycle in the warmer months and cross-country ski, ride snowmobiles, and snowshoe through pristine forests in the winter.
A handful of small towns dot this popular lake. Baraboo is home to the 10,000-acre Devil’s Lake State Park, one of the visited state parks in Wisconsin. In Lodi, one of the largest towns along the lake, you’ll find a winery, distillery, and the scenic Lower Wisconsin State Riverway. If you want to cross the lake without having to drive all the way around, the town of Merrimac offers a vehicle ferry crossing.
With its central location close to both Madison (45 minutes away) and Milwaukee (a 1.5 hour drive away), Lake Wisconsin is an ideal spot to stop on a road trip through this section of the Midwest.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Wisconsin
Lake Wisconsin experiences drastic weather changes from season to season. The summer months are warm and sunny, making this the perfect time for hiking, fishing, and boating. The early fall (an ideal time for viewing the area’s brightly colored leaves) and late spring have milder weather and cooler evenings, so you’ll likely need light layers. While the winter months can be frigid, this is a wonderful time to go snowshoeing or cross-country skiing and see the lake and nearby forests covered in snow.
Top things to do in Lake Wisconsin
Fishing
Lake Wisconsin offers ample opportunities for amateur and experienced anglers to try their luck. The waters are rich with walleye and white bass and it is possible to fish throughout the year. Popular fishing spots include Devil’s Lake, Walleye Lane Wayside Park, Summer Oaks Boat Landing, Richard A. Grant Park, and Parfrey’s Glen Creek. Boat and equipment rentals are available around the area.
Devil’s Lake State Park
Located in Baraboo, the Devil’s Lake State Park features two sandy beaches and nearly 30 miles of trails. Rock climbers will be happy to know there are plenty of routes for climbing and bouldering. During your visit, you can rent kayaks, paddleboards, and canoes to explore more of the lake. In the winter, it is also possible to have a guide take you cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.
Merrimac
Merrimac is a small town on the lake that’s well-known for the iconic Merrimac Ferry that has been whisking visitors across the lake free of charge since 1848. One of the more popular lake outposts, you’ll be able to find shops, cafes, and restaurants here, as well as an amazing ice cream stand right near the south entrance of the ferry.
