Quietwater Cottage- On the Water, Scenic, Sandbars, Birds, Nature, Hot Tub!

Near Cascade Mountain Ski Resort, Devilshead, Christmas Mountain!!! Great XC skiing nearby at Lodi Area Ski Trails and at Mirror Lake State Park. Great place to come back to after a day of skiing for a soak soak in the hot tub with a GREAT view of nature!

Rent this nicely furnished cottage to enjoy the beauty of nature on the Wisconsin River and Lake Wisconsin in this rustic, yet cozy river/lake cottage. Beautiful views out the large living room windows look onto green islands, sandbars and the distant Baraboo Hills and the shores of the Wisconsin River as it opens up into Lake WI. Deck with great view of river and hills.

Conveniently located on shallow Lake Wisconsin waterfront with sandbars to wade to. Located between Madison and the Wisconsin Dells, just 1.5 hours from Milw and 3 hours from Chicago.

Bring some firewood (or buy it locally) and have a campfire in the firepit next to the water!

Watch crimson sunsets from the 16' x 25' deck or from a shady grove of maple trees at water's edge. Whether it's the knotty pine walls of the living room and kitchen, the view of sunset over the water from bed, or the wooden twin bunk bed in the second bedroom you’ll always feel cozy and welcome at Quietwater Cottage. You'll enjoy yourselves so much you'll be anxious to come for another visit!

There is so much for your family to see, so much to do year round in the area!

SPRING, SUMMER, FALL & WINTER Adventures! Green trees, sunny sand-bars, and a lazy river await you. Tucked off the main channel the cottage has the best of both worlds…easy assess to the big water, a great view of the water and sunsets, but little boat traffic. Because of our shallow waterfront location, the choice is yours, launch your boat at one of 3 nearby boat launchs and head left for Lake Wisconsin or go right for the Wisconsin River. You’ve got it all right here! You can launch your boat daily and spend an exciting day on the open water of the lake (too shallow to get a boat of any size into our channel but you can park your trailer in front at the end of the day) or a quiet day exploring the Dells-like bluffs and the nearby islands, coves, and backwaters in your canoe or kayak. The shallow water in front is perfect for kayaks and canoes. Explore the many channels, sandbars, and islands of the WI River and Lake WI. Relax with friends or family on the deck after a day canoeing or kayaking around the sandy tree-covered islands.

Enjoy shallow water fishing from the sandbar in front, from our canoe, or use a boat to hit several of the best local fishing spots all within 5 minutes of the cottage: The Narrows, Fockes Bluffs, Tipperary Bluffs, and Camp Rest Park. Good fishing for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, White Bass, Catfish, Largemouth, Crappie and more.

The cottage has a green lawn for yard games or for kids to run around in, plus just a block away is a park with playground equipment and wading beach, perfect for small children and dogs. Tennis and basketball courts are just a mile up the road. Bike riding opportunities on winding country roads in the area are fantastic. Up for a challenge? Circle Lake Wisconsin on your bike, it's about a 50-60 mile trip with a free ferryboat crossing as a highlight!

This two bedroom, one bathroom house has a small but full kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with most anything you’ll need to prepare any meal you like…or grill out on waterside deck on the gas grill! Feeling lazy? Kick back and enjoy the 46” flat screen LCD HDTV....relax on the deck, sip a drink, even surf the web, and watch the river go by!

Beautiful views out the large living room windows and across the 16’x25’ deck look onto green, sandy islands and the undeveloped distant shores of the Wisconsin River as it opens up into Lake Wisconsin.

FALL & WINTER FUN! After the summer crowds leave you’ll find unique beauty and tranquility on the river. Tucked in among the surrounding bluffs and hillsides you’ll find gorgeous fall colors and dazzling winter scenery. Hundreds of wooded acres across the street are home to the Red Bellied Woodpecker, Wild Turkey, and White Tailed Deer, while the ever-changing river offers views of Sandhill Cranes, Bald Eagles, Beaver, and Muskrat. Scenic drives in all directions make interesting day trips more fun! Many nearby day-trip possibilities including the Wollensheim Winery, Wisconsin Dells, Devil's Lake State Park, Baraboo Circus World Museum, and so much more. Nearby ski hills include Cascade Mountain (15 min) and Devilshead Lodge (30 min).

So much to see and so much to do! Relaxing!

Fish for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, White Bass, Catfish, Largemouth, Crappie, and more. Many nearby day-trip possibilities including the WI Dells, Devil's Lake State Park, Baraboo Circus World Museum, and more! Great bird-watching!

Quiet at Quietwater cottage
We had a nice short getaway to this cottage on the river. Because the area is only residential, it's quiet. Definitely a different pace for us. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking and there were plenty of linens. There were several birds around the river (cranes?) as well as a visiting hummingbird. The hottub was a nice addition for when it got chilly after September sunset. Great nearby hiking within 30 or so minutes!

Beautiful Location
We had a great stay in the cabin. The view is always a treat, and the hot tub on the cabin is perfect for chilly evenings. Lighting a fire in the pit outside was pretty difficult as it was full of ash and the wood was wet (nothing to protect it from rain). The heat in the cabin is only in the central room, which was okay in 40-50 degree weather, but might be chilly in the winter. Overall a great stay though, with plenty of touches to make it feel homey.

Cute cabin with a beach
We enjoyed our stay here over Labor Day weekend. My 2 year old and baby enjoyed the beach area right on the property. It was sandy so they could play. Also the water was shallow so they could wade out in it. There was a fireplace with lots of wood, a big deck with a nice table and grill. They also have a hot tub on the deck with the nice view but we didn't get around to using it.

Our family of four had the best time here! Our girls ages 8 and 5 loved the bunk beds, hot tub and canoe/kayak adventures. The cabin had everything we expected and more. Loved watching the hummingbirds and every morning a doe and her fawn would wade across the river. Loved every second and can’t wait to return!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay at this lovely location! Despite the crazy weather and some parts of the area being flooded, we had an amazing time. Getting to see all the wonderful birds was such a treat! Thank you for having the feeders! I cannot say enough about the beautiful area - the walks were wonderful and checking out Lodi & the village of Poynette was fun! The hot tub was especially lovely to enjoy at the end of the day. We look forward to coming back again! Thank you for being so accommodating!

Great summer getaway
This turned out to be the perfect rental for our getaway to Wisconsin. We really enjoyed being able to use the hot tub, the beautiful view of the river and the peaceful location. Sitting on the deck with our coffee in the morning, listening to and watching the birds was idyllic. The owner was responsive and gave us great tips for fishing in the area. The cottage is exactly what is pictured. It’s small but perfect for a couple or family with young kids. We loved staying here and will definitely keep it in mind for future WI trips.

We were looking for a kid free weekend and this delivered everything. The home was so cozy, and there was music on when we got there. The view was beautiful, the bed comfortable, and the hot tub/deck was amazing. We grilled the first night and had dinner outside. Everything we could have needed was provided. It was close to a lot of different things so we had our pick of where to go. We got great hiking in at Devil’s Lake and dinner in the Dells, and got lots of relaxing and soaking time in. We will definitely be back.
