Please note that during the peak weeks of late June July and early August we have weekly rentals that are Friday to Friday. Please contact me about alternative blocks during that time.

Set on a 3/4 acre LAKEFRONT lot on beautiful Lake Ripley, this home features luxury amenities. The 1000 SF lakeside deck features a 6 person outdoor hot tub kept at 102 degrees year round. Also on the deck, is an extra large, 5 burner Genesis II Weber gas grill available year round. Gas supplied. There is a built in outdoor fire pit for chilly nights- firewood supplied. The "open floorpan" lake house has modern construction and was remodeled in 2019 for entertaining and family fun. There is a full size shuffle puck table in the main living area which is open to the kitchen and dining area. The owner of the house is an audiophile and there are high end speakers, TV and audio equipment located both indoors and outdoors. The gourmet kitchen features a professional Kitchen Aid range with microwave and range hood. The owners are foodies, so everything you need to cook is provided and ready to go- including sharp high end knives and professional cookware. There are 2 full size refrigerators and a beverage fridge. The home features soft, filtered water as well as bottled drinking water. You won't be "roughing it" at all in this super comfortable home! The beds are new, sheets are high end and the home is kept immaculately clean. If you are the kind of person where high end details matter to you, this your place! Kayaks and stand up paddle board use included, in season. With easy access to the Madison area the East side of Madison is only a beautiful 15 minute drive. Only 2.5 hours drive from the Chicago Loop and an hour from Milwaukee. Feel like you're way up north without the long drive at this special, charming lake house. We trust pet owners to be responsible, so we we allow beloved pets!!

The house was lovely and perfect for our family of 4. We did a long weekend and were able to visit Madison multiple times from this location. We highly recommend this home for its cleanliness, amenities, and the hot tub on the lake late at night with the stars above is a major highlight!

Great house, great location

Gorgeous spot on beautiful Lake Ripley. The house is very comfortable and very well stocked down to supplies for s’mores. Hot tub was great and shuffle puck was a lot of fun. Jason was a fantastic host - very responsive and friendly.

Great home on lake Ripley

Stayed at this cabin/home for 3 nights. Needed a relaxing weekend to get away and rest. This home has everything one would need to do just that. There’s enough space to spread out but not so big that it lacks the cuteness I was looking for. Lot is level to the lake so the view out is awesome. Host was very generous in offering foods and beverages in the house but we brought our own anyway. Kitchen is well stocked so you don’t need to bring essentials like salt, pepper, sugar etc. Highly recommend this cabin for those looking for a well kept place with great view.

Great winter getaway with all of the comforts of home. The wood burning fireplace was great along with the hot tub. Thanks again
