Private Isle-side, Waterfront Retreat with Stunning Views/Pet Friendly

Relax and play at this scenic waterfront retreat with stunning views. Paddle the lake, picnic on the nearby island, or enjoy ping-pong, shuffleboard, foosball, and other games in the spacious lower level.

Isleside Retreat is located on a secluded dead-end, just minutes from local Wineries, American Players Theatre, and Taliesin, amid the gorgeous Driftless hills. The lower level is the perfect space to gather, with a cozy fireplace, bar, and plenty of entertainment. Grab a canoe or kayak and explore Lake Avoca, or hike the peaceful Avoca prairie and savannah trails.

Thanksgiving Get together
We all loved our stay! The house is immaculate. It is located at the end of the road so the setting is very quiet. The river is just outside the big window and the star gazing was fantastic. The host were super easy to work with. We will be back soon! Thank you!

Amazing place!
Myself and four friends stayed here for a girls getaway, and we could not have hoped for a more perfect place to rest and recharge. Every detail was considered to maximize comfort and coziness, from views of the peaceful waterfront from inside and outside on the deck, to the gorgeous and unique decor in every room, to the comfortable and high-quality amenities. The host was super responsive and helpful. We plan to be back!

Wonderful, relaxing getaway
My spouse and I stayed for a weekend with family. We wish we could have stayed longer! The view from the deck is gorgeous and the home is quiet with practically no traffic. We cooked, hiked, and relaxed. Communication was great. I highly recommend this place!

Great Stay
House is in a nice location at the end of a cul de sac. Bedrooms are spacious. Kids loved the games downstairs. Deck had a nice sitting area and dining table. A couple of spots in the laminate were bubbled up and the whole floor would move up and down when you stepped in those areas. The dock was pulled out of the water already, which made it very difficult to use.

Cute and quiet
Overall a cute little place… a bit rough around the edges… They definitely did the best with what they had to work with… you can tell that a lot of thought was put into design/decor details which elevated the whole feel of the place. Clear instructions. Clean house. Quiet and peaceful.

Excellent Trip!
We had a blast and loved the small town atmosphere. The local pub was a great stop on our way between golf courses and was well worth the price and company! We will be staying here again.

Relaxing Getaway
My family and I enjoyed it very much. Caught some bass and northerns. We had a lot of day trips not far from the House on the Rock and Cave of the Mound. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Perfect Weekend Getaway And Views
We had an amazing cousins weekend at this beautiful house. The deck provided stunning sunset views over the river and forest. The location felt more private and remote than we expected, which was a delightful surprise. The basement was a hit with shuffleboard, foosball, and ping pong. We also enjoyed kayaking in the mornings. The caretakers were responsive and kind. Highly recommend this place, and we’d gladly rent it again for our next trip.
