Waters Edge Cottage Reviews

Review Score: 8

We had really hoped to be swimming a lot since we paid a premium to be on the lake but the water was very gross when we got out after giving it a try we were covered in green slim. The dock was extremely wobbly. We asked where we could find more toilet paper and were told they only leave a “starter supple” which was half a roll for 4 people for 4 nights. The pots and pans were so damaged they weren’t usable and the knives were too dull to safely cut. If you come during Mayfly season be prepared to be swarmed. Two of the nights we couldn’t be outside at all. The place was clean and supplied plenty of towels. Host responded quickly. We had a great time at nearby Baraboo and the crane foundation.

Property needs some lovin. There were things that didn't work in the house; such as tv in bedroom. Exterior was ok but wasnt the cleanest. Kayaks were very difficult to get in the water and get into. We did enjoy our stay. Was a lovely sunrise from the deck!

cute little cottage right on the lake in a beautiful location. my kids (ages 4, 3, and 1) loved it. close to ski area and not far from other local attractions. a little on the small side, but was perfect for us as we were out and about most of the weekend, and a bonus was the cabin was pet friendly. the property manager was excellent with communication and replied to us right away when we had questions. would definitely return!
