Enjoy the wraparound screen porch for relaxing, playing games and enjoying coffee/dinner with a view of the Wisconsin state capital at night. Outdoor sofa, chairs and dining table will allow you to spend all your time on the screen porch.
Once the weather turns cool in Wisconsin the cottage will not be available as the electric heat and gas fireplace are not enough to keep the upstairs warm. We do have a plug in electric heater upstairs for cool nights.

Summary: I, and my 5 friends from college, who are now all grandmothers, stayed here for our annual weekend celebration of friendship. We enjoyed kayaking, biking, but mostly talking and laughing. This lake home was very welcoming and perfect for us; clean, comfortable, plenty of amenities - which made our gathering so special. We would all love to come here again some year!
