Lake Time, Tee Time, Cabin Time: Your Guide to Cottage Keeper Vacation Rentals in Central Wisconsin. A Listing Partner on RentWisconsinCabins.com Since 2012!

Cabintimers, this is the good stuff. Wide water, sandy islands, tall pines, and a lineup of private homes that make it easy to unplug without giving up comfort. Cottage Keeper manages a collection of vacation rentals around Castle Rock Lake and Lake Petenwell in Adams and Juneau Counties—right where lazy beach days, big-fish mornings, and golf-obsessed afternoons all live happily together.

Why Cabintimers love this corner of Wisconsin

Castle Rock Lake is Wisconsin’s 4th-largest inland lake; Lake Petenwell is the 2nd-largest. That means room for everything: pontoon cruising, tubing, paddling, and those glassy sunrise fishing runs. The counties sit just north of Wisconsin Dells, so you can dip into the waterparks or attractions, then steer back to quiet shoreline.

Winter doesn’t slow the fun. Sled the frozen flowages, explore miles of snowmobile trails, and warm up by a crackling fire. Shoulder seasons shine too—birdwatching at Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, stair climbs at Roche-A-Cri State Park, and fiery fall colors that make even grocery runs feel like scenic byways.

What stands out about Cottage Keeper homes

Cottage Keeper focuses on privately owned homes with the kind of layouts that make group trips easy. You’ll find:

  • Waterfront cabins and homes on Castle Rock Lake and Lake Petenwell.
  • Pet-friendly options, so the four-legged crew tags along.
  • Full kitchens, wifi, washers/dryers, grills, and outdoor spaces made for cornhole and camp chairs.
  • Big gathering areas indoors, plus decks and fire pits outside for nightly debriefs under the Milky Way.

Sample stays that set the vibe

  • Cozy Cabins with Lake Petenwell pier – Two side-by-side cabins for smaller groups who want fishing mornings, hammock afternoons, and starry nights by the water.
  • Sunrise Cove on Lake Petenwell – Waterfront setting with a front-row seat to daybreak and easy lake access for kayaks and SUPs.
  • Harbor View on Castle Rock – Family- and dog-friendly, with a generous yard and room to spread out after a day on the water.
  • Tee Time at the Pines (Lake Arrowhead) – A tri-level hangout steps from the fairway. Golf in the AM; grill and games in the PM.
  • Endless Possibilities (Arkdale) – A comfortable two-bedroom launchpad for couples or small families exploring both lakes and nearby trails.

(Inventory changes often; new homes pop up, favorites book fast. That’s part of the fun—browsing the current options and finding “the one” for your crew.)

Trip planning cheat sheet

On the water: Rent a pontoon, chase walleyes, or island-hop for a picnic. Calm coves = great paddleboard sessions. Windy day? Kite flying on the sandbars is wildly satisfying.

On the greens: You’re in a golf hot zone—Lake Arrowhead’s Pines and Lakes courses are local legends, and Sand Valley is a short drive away for bucket-list rounds.

On the trails: UTV/ATV routes crisscross the area. Hike Roche-A-Cri’s staircase to a broad view of the central sands. Buckhorn State Park brings quiet backwaters and birdlife.

With kids: Splash around at Castle Rock County Park, build a stick fort at the shoreline, roast marshmallows, repeat. Add a day trip to the Dells for log flumes and funnel cake.

Winter: Ice fish for panfish and pike, then thaw out by the stove. Local taverns handle the chili; you handle the tales.

When to go

  • Summer: Peak lake life—boats, beaches, and nightly sunsets that refuse to quit.
  • Fall: Crisp air, leaf-peeping, and empty coves perfect for paddling.
  • Winter: Quiet beauty and trail time. Fewer crowds, more stars.
  • Spring: Running sap, migrating birds, and early tee times.

Booking tips for Cabintimers

Book direct with the local manager to get honest answers, the best price, and zero surprise fees. You’ll talk to folks who actually know the shoreline, the ramps, the bait shops, and which tee boxes play into the wind.

  • Bring layers. Lake breezes can flip the script.
  • Reserve boats and tee times early in summer.
  • Pack headlamps and a deck of cards. Cabin tradition.
  • Traveling with pups? Ask about yard setups and nearby dog-friendly beaches.

Ready to plan it?
