LAKEFRONT FAMILY RETREAT ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF CASTLE ROCK LAKE - PET FRIENDLY

The owner has spared no expense to make this one of the finest accommodations you will find on Castle Rock Lake for your vacation getaway! Your luxurious lodge retreat is located in a hidden area of nature and plantation pines, which has been home to wildlife such as deer, fox, osprey, cranes, and an occasional friendly box turtle.

As you step into the slate foyer, you're greeted by the elegance of double beech wood staircases leading to two separate upstairs bedroom suites. An artisan chandelier illuminates the 20-foot grand foyer, setting the tone for the opulence that awaits. Throughout the 5000 sq. ft. modern "lodge," Amish-milled cherry wood flooring creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The natural blending of various woods and textures, including travertine, granite, maple, basswood, and leather, adds to the richness of the space. The high cathedral great room serves as the focal point, featuring a patterned slate fireplace and two sets of patio doors leading to the deck overlooking the yard and bay. The open dining area and kitchen provide the perfect setting for gatherings, while the large screened-in porch offers an ideal spot for entertaining and enjoying the summer breeze.

Each bedroom suite boasts its own full bath, television, and window views from the extended sitting/reading room. The master bedroom offers private access to the deck, a walk-in closet, gas fireplace with sitting couch, and a luxurious whirlpool tub and shower. The lower level features a spacious walk-out recreation room with a wet bar and another fireplace.

Dock your boat in the quiet, protected bay just beyond the natural wooded shoreline for the duration of your stay. Explore the area's miles of connected trails with your bikes, hiking shoes, snowmobiles, or ATVs. Nearby attractions include state and county parks, canoeing, horseback riding, hiking, cross-country skiing, and more. And don't miss out on visiting the Sparta-Elroy Bicycle Trail, Necedah Wildlife Refuge, House on the Rock, or Frank Lloyd Wright homes.

After a perfect day of adventures, indulge in star-filled skies, fireside chats, and roasted marshmallows around a peaceful campfire. Come and enjoy this escape to nature in luxurious comfort.

Sleeping Accommodations:
The property offers sleeping accommodations for 14 guests, including two private king-size bedroom suites, one master suite with a king-size bed, and two additional bedrooms on the lower level, each with one queen bed. With a total of 5 bedrooms and 5 1/2 bathrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind.

Rental Details:
Weekly rentals are preferred during the summer rental season. Additionally, the property is pet-friendly, with additional fees applying for furry companions.

Beautiful house - had a wonderful stay
Beautiful house - each bedroom had its own bathroom which made it convenient for our group of married couples. Kitchen was also well-stocked. We had an issue with the fireplace not working in the master bedroom but other than that, the stay was great. The deposit policy though is a bit odd. You pay it with your credit card then they reimburse it back to you a month later via check. I’ve never encountered that from a rental on VRBO.

Beautiful Home
Absolutely beautiful home that accommodated 12 of us at Christmas. The owners had decorated every room of the house to make our holiday gathering even more enjoyable. Excellent communication with the property management staff as well.

Large home
Very large space and was clean when we stayed. Yard has flat areas good for playing outdoors. We would stay again. One note is that this area generally has a lot of bugs so make sure to bring bug spray!

Boating Vacation
Everything was good…bugs are insane! The walk to boat dock and quality of water surrounding dock was undesirable. The depth was also 1.8’ in most places heading out to main water.

The house was large, spacious and included everything it was advertised to be. The Property Manager was very responsive and helpful through the entire rental process. One drawback was that there is limited boat slip parking. If planning to bring more than one boat there is no space to park as there is no lakefront access in front of the house. In addition, the house is located in a very undeveloped area and online maps show no neighbors within 200 yards which was one reason we selected this home. Upon arrival we discovered that there is a neighbor located to the west in very close proximity to the home.

The layout of this home was perfect for our large family to gather for meals, games, alone time or visiting. The kitchen was STOCKED!!! You don’t need to hall crockpots, bowls, pans, dishes or anything. It has it alll!!! Kitchen island was great for staging food. The bedrooms are large and very nice. The individual bathrooms per bedroom was a treat and we never ran out of hot water. The extra family room in the basement offered us the options for different television program preferences. WiFi was strong and the cooling system kept us all comfortable. Nice porches and fire pit. Wish list would be to have some folding chairs for the porches and outside games. The wooden outdoor chairs are sturdy, but not very comfortable. We have already rebooked for 2024. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We love this place. This is our second year here and already booked for next year. The owner listened to our request for additional outside porch chairs from last years review. Thank you! Still hoping for outdoor games (e.g., corn hole, later, badminton, or croquet). The second boat slip was very useful. However, a neighbor came down to tell us we were not allowed two slips. It was a little awkward. I invited him in and provided the information available at the property and what was provided to us. II suggested he call Cottage Keepers. It was resolve but, that was resolved pretty quickly and the neighbor returned to apologize. We appreciate how well stocked the kitchen is as we have to bring very little. Internet service is strong, but cell reception stinks (US Cellular).

Good Experience at Water's Edge
Our family had such a great experience at Water's Edge! Attributes: Very roomy and spacious; Very nice amenities; Very clean and beautiful; Very comfortable beds; Opportunities: Ice maker did not work in the frig; For a large family, a second full size frig would be nice; A game room-pool/ping pong would be nice for those rainy days; A wider path to the lake with small children would be nice. Overall, we would recommend this rental for any large family, and we so hope to rent again!! Thank you.
