About this cottage rental
Winter fun for the family is great too!! We have skates, mini skis, snow shoes and sleds for the kids! Give winter at the lake a try!
Bring the family and your fishing gear! We are on the lake! Cozy, beachy cottage with AC, heat, wifi and all amenities. No dogs please.
We are Inspected and Licensed!
Sunroom with beautiful view of the lake for stunning sunrise views across the lake. Long pier with a large "L" portion and sturdy bumpers on 2 sides for your boat. We also have 3 kayaks with life preservers which are highly recommended. This lake gets very rough very fast so wear those vests. We recommend to trailer your boat if a storm is coming.
We have 2 bedrooms, sleeps 4 to 9 comfortably. Very comfy beds! One room has a queen platform bed. 2nd room has a double platform bed and a bunk with futon double on bottom & twin on top and space for a pack n play. Sunroom has a queen sleeper sofa. One bathroom with stand up shower and an additional heated, private shower outdoors to clean up after a day at the beach or lake.
On the west side of Castle Rock Lake 75' from the waters edge and near one of the best fishing spots on the lake. 50' pier to accommodate your boat. Boat launch is 1/2 mile south by The Dirty Turtle. Boat rentals close by at Caslte Rock Watersports.
Our lakefront is great for swimmers and non swimmers alike with a sandy bottom 2 to 6 feet deep depending on variable lake depth or use the public beach a 1/2 mile walk away. Campfire ring by the lake. Deer, fox and other wildlife wander the property on quiet days and nights. Close to snowmobile & 4 wheeling trails and great ice fishing in the winter. Yard games and kids toys in garage.
There's an Espresso machine at our coffee bar and a bean grinder. We supply the fresh roasted coffee beans, flavor syrups and whole milk to make your favorite espresso, latte or cappuccino. You won't miss your coffee shop at all! We also have a Tassimo coffee maker for pod style coffees, cappuccinos and lattes. Bed Bath & Beyond or Amazon has lots of flavors for the Tassimo so bring your favorites for a great cup of coffee to sip on the pier or in the sunroom while watching that sunrise! There is still a standard 12 cup coffee maker and an 8 cup coffee press for more coffee choices.
Great restaurants around the lake area for steak, burger, pizza & sandwiches. 15 minutes from Mauston, 25 minutes from Tomah for smaller town shopping and more restaurants or 30 minute from Wisconsin Dell's.
Fully stocked kitchen, over the range microwave, full size stove/oven, toaster oven, slow cooker, bullet mixer/ blender, a giant non stick frying pan for a feast, and a large pot for a fish boil or pot of soup. Dishwasher, disposer, washer & dryer for laundry and weber kettle charcoal grill. And again a private heated outdoor shower to free up bathroom time.
All bedding & pillows provided as well as all kitchen linens. Bring your own hygiene items, paper goods, firewood and charcoal. There's a brick paver patio with picnic table (converts to benches) and patio tables and chairs for plenty of seating and a well lit yard and pier.
Fast WiFi that reaches outside!
3 TVs, 2 with Directv, Netflix and Disney+. There is a PS3 with Bluray & 1 controller (bring your own games). The TV with only a DVD player is in the bunk room, child friendly DVDs are on the shelf.
Amazing hiking and climbing just north at Petenwell Bluffs. One of our favorite spots! Across from The Woodbine Restaurant you'll find parking along 19 th Avenue at the intersection of Hwy 21 just before the bridge and a little further south. Gorgeous views of Petenwell Lake even if you can't make it to the top. Plenty of hiking if you're not into the climb but don't miss this day trip!

Judy is excellent with communication. The cottage is comfortable and inviting. It's like being at home. Very family/children friendly. They have thought of everything you need for a comfortable vacation. We enjoyed a much needed family vacation on the lake relaxing, boating, and fishing. Fantastic backyard, dock, and view! The grandchildren loved the sand with sand digger and toys. We all enjoyed watching the deer and visiting with the neighbor. Truly like being at home away from home. Absolutely phenomenal!

This is a perfect lakehouse getaway. There are two huge bay windows in this house that offer the most gorgeous sunrise views!! The dock is in really good condition with a very nice set of stairs off the dock that go into the water, making it an excellent kayak launch spot. You walk right down into the stairs, line your kayak up with the stairs and launch!! Easy peasy! This cottage is perfect for those that don't like a lot of stairs. It's all one level which is fantastic and can comfortably sleep several people! The kitchen is fully stocked with all the equipment needed to make great breakfasts and dinners, including a nice larger charcoal grill! There's a few great places to get all the grocery items you need for your stay that are only about 10 to 15 mins away. The dock has a bench on it at the end which is great for fishing and watching sunrises with a cup of coffee or tea. Right as you walk into the cottage, there is this beautiful coffee and espresso bar stocked with everything from mocha and caramel sauce to vanilla and salted caramel syrups. Great selection of teas and hot chocolate for non coffee drinkers too! There's a great selection of all different cute mugs for your coffee or tea beverage! Definitely will be a place I will stay again!

This is a must stay! The location, view, pier, and house was exactly like the pictures. I couldn’t have been happier! Judy was so great at communicating. We had a storm when we were there and the power went out and she was so good about keeping us updated on the restore. She really was a wonderful host and we loved our stay!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful week-long getaway at this property. This was our second stay, first time in the summer. The communication and information from Dennis and Judy leading up to our trip was super thorough and helpful. We already knew the home would have everything we needed and more... they have even thought of the little things that make stays better (luggage racks, lots of seating, hooks for towels everywhere, blankets). Being right on Castle Rock was perfect for our boating vacation. The lake is great for cruising and tubing and our girls learned to ski this trip in the morning hours. And, the view before you ever leave the cottage is beautiful. Great memories were made! Our family is already talking about making this an annual trip.

The Cottage view was FANTASTIC!!! Basically, there is two living rooms that both face the lake. One living room as two LARGE picture windows. Had all the amenities that anyone would need. Amenities from firewood, to coffee, grill, to aluminum foil. Great to be able to use the kayaks with ease. Would not change a thing!!!!

We have been staying with Dennis and Judy for years now and run out of words to describe how special our time at the Cabin has become. They always have the cabin in perfect shape with all the details accounted for and there is not a better stretch of frontage on castle rock. The perfect place to let the stress of daily life fade away.

Wish the beds were made up with the sheets. Was kind of a puzzle finding which ones went where. Should have instructions on how do use the coffee machines. The people who drink coffee had a hard time using em. But everything else was great!! The view was excellent. Very comfy staying there. Would recommend it to anyone who is looking to staying in the area.

5 adults and a 3 year old. We had a nice time we were able to take a short drive to the Dells and do activities then come back for a relaxing evening or afternoon. Swimming was good and shallow enough for the 3 year old. Cottage was well equipped and clean and comfortable. It was nice to be able to stay out of the crowds of a hotel. Beautiful view.

Dennis and Judy are so easy to work with and very accommodating. The property itself is everything we could want for summertime fun on the water. We have already booked for next year. Highly recomend.

This is our 2nd time at the Speckman cottage and it was just as wonderful as the 1st time! Clean, cute cottage with an awesome view. Judy is wonderful to work with and the neighbor is so helpful and friendly. The only problem we had was the time at the cottage went by way too fast! Already looking forward to next year! Thank you so much Dennis & Judy for sharing your property with our family. We made many memories!

Perfect Family Vacation
Everything we could have wanted for our family getaway. I loved the quiet setting, peaceful sound of the waves, and the coffee bar. Husband enjoyed fishing from the pier and kayaking. Kids loved spending hours swimming in the lake and digging in the sand pit. The cottage is stocked with everything you need for a fun family getaway. It is clean and welcoming. Hosts are very friendly and provide excellent communication. The area is great as well- we would recommend Buckhorn State Park and Collin's Coffee. Great experience. We hope to return soon!

A Week at the Lake
This is our 3rd year staying at the Specman cottage. It is absolutely beautiful! I have really enjoyed my communications with Judy and she stays in touch and is easy to reach with any questions. She also has good ideas of things to do in the area.
Their cottage has accommodated all of our needs, from cooking both inside and out, sleeping arrangements and a great outdoor shower after coming in off the lake. They have a great table in the front living room for a competitive game of Mexican Train Dominos!
And then the lake, truly God’s country in every way!
The Specman cottage is an absolutely wonderful place to stay. We hope to spend time there again in 2023 😊! Thank you

This place was wonderful from the house to the view to the fishing to the neighbors.

The cabin is furnished very comfortably- like someone really lives here! It made it feel homey and relaxing. Well equipped; lots of room to enjoy a game, puzzle or looking at the lake. The hosts are wonderful and the neighbor too! The lake is big and a bit choppy from wind and boat traffic - so kayaking was a little challenging. The sunrise and birds were great. Forgot about the other gifts of nature - ticks and ants. Again - they have sprays,etc and that is the fun of a lake cabin in the woods. We look forward to going back!

Pure bliss every time!
Can not say enough about the home, owners, neighbors & of course the lake! We have enjoyed coming to the cottage for the last 5-6 years. We make it a point to come up at least once a year & it never disappoints. Just the best getaway, with the comforts of home, but the feel of vacation!

Fantastic lakeside home
We had a wonderful stay at this home. The home was clean and extremely well stocked. Everything you could need (or forget!) was provided and in ample supply so you wouldn't run out. This hasn't always been our experience in VRBOs and it was so welcoming and helpful. The coffee/tea/hot chocolate bar was amazing. The beds were firm but quite comfortable and linens and towels were plentiful. There are several games, puzzles, indoor and outdoor toys and kayaks. We focused on kayaking and fishing and had a great time doing both. We caught crappies and walleye right off the dock. The fire pit is also a lot of fun for cooler nights and the sunrises were great to watch. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful.
The pump in the second bedroom didn't really impact our group at all as we all kept similar hours so there wasn't a lot of water use when people were sleeping and it is a very short time that it is on when it kicks in. We suspect using a fan would have blocked it out entirely.
We would definitely recommend this property for a fun lakeside exerience!
