Cozy Cottage
The property is as described, very clean, and has all the amenities you'd need. Having access to the lake from both sides of the property is a plus. The owner is so sweet and very accommodating. We can't wait to come back again soon!

Our first VRBO
We needed a place to stay for thanksgiving at my Mom's. Her extra rooms were already spoken for. I was actually surprised Friendship, WI actually had VRBOs for rent. Richard met us at the house and showed us around. It was right on the lake as advertised. It was only 1.8 miles from my Mom's place. Too bad it was cold out. Would love to do this again in better weather to take advantage of the lake.

Hidden gem.
We lived in the area for 40+ years, had driven within a couple hundred feet of the lake this cottage sits on, and had never heard of Lake Friendship. Although the lakes all had weed issues this year, it was still very pretty (we didn’t do any boating). Want to fish? Try both the front and back docks. The cottage is FULLY furnished with everything you need. There was plenty of room when our grandkids visited, and the owner of the adjoining resort let them enjoy his swimming beach. Using the garage was a bonus for getting our car out of the weather, and to store luggage during our stay. Our host has a canoe and fishing boat for use by guests, and even has fishing poles and life jackets available. We met a neighbor who offered his pontoon boat to us, although we didn’t take him up on the offer (great neighbor). If we strolled lived on the area, we’d try to buy this property for a weekend retreat. A grocery store, restaurants, gas stations, and more are only a few minutes away (have a Bucky’s pizza delivered 😋). The local golf course is five minutes away - also try their breakfast, lunch, or dinner 😋). Did we like this property? Absolutely!

Comfortable and quiet
Nice house, clean, everything we needed in the kitchen was here, although we didnt use much. Bikes and equipment in the garage to use. Close enough to the Dells and state park. Quiet place, comfortable beds. The host was great at check in and told us everything we needed to know.

Get getaway home away from home!
We love this home! Perfect location for us since we have family nearby, but this home has everything you could think of to enjoy a fantastic lake vacation. Craig is a great host and we could want for nothing. Wonderful stay and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect Wisconsin getaway!

Comfortable
The cabin was perfect for what we needed. Plenty of comfortable space, all the bedding, towels, and kitchen utensils you could think of, and most of all...quiet. Unfortunately, the lake was much weedier and smaller than we were expecting (DNR needs to update their website), so we couldn't use our boat much at all. LOTS of small bluegill to be caught off the docks. Check-in was in-person and smooth with an older gentleman who could tell you the entire community's story if you had the time, but very generous. Neighbors next door at Island Resort were kind enough to let us swim from their beach, all you had to do was ask. Quiet neighborhood for walks with dogs. The town really needs a coffee shop, but that's nothing against this particular cabin. Very comfortable stay.

A good place for a weekend
It's nice that there is a boat and kayak, and we could sail them on the lake, but it is quite overgrown. It would be nice to refresh this house and clean it up carefully so that there would be no surprises like a mouse in a basket. Great there are bikes and outside grill but needs good cleaning. The covers on the bed needed to be washed or replaced, the sheets weren't nice We left this place an hour earlier because a team was already waiting near the house to clean the property, and when we were still sitting outside, a young man began to mow the grass. We have never had such an experience. It's great that we could make a bonfire by the lake. The weather was fine, so we had a good weekend outside and thank you very much.

Great Place!!
Very nice experience. Owners were great and helpful. The lake was wonderful. We swam in the lake. Fishing was good caught a good number of blue gill, the last day something big grabbed our little guys bait.and snapped the line. Thinking it was a northern. House was clean and well stocked with essential items. Beds were comfy. The fireworks show on July 3rd was awesome. The town of Friendship was awesome, ate at Buckys pizza. Good pizza and appetizers!!

Perfect Getaway
We went for peace and quiet. Exactly what we got! Relaxing on the deck and fishing off the dock. Not far from town so we enjoyed a couple cafes as we didn't want to cook. The bait shop is just a couple minutes away! Cute little town from what we saw. Everything in the house was fully stocked the only thing we had to bring was clothes and food. Seriously a little peace of paradise!

Peaceful Retreat!
This cabin was exactly the type of getaway we were looking for in a vacation. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck, grilling, and using the canoe & the rowboat to explore the lake. It was also nice to be be so close to a great state park, Roche-A-Cri. Our stay was short, but it was so peaceful.

Perfect family vacation!
This was by far the most relaxing family getaway with two young kids and a dog! Being able to fish from both sides of the house, take out both the row boat and canoe, hike at state parks and short distance to the Dells made certain there was plenty to do while not feeling like we HAD to do anything! We will definitely go back and appreciate the cabin for all it provided for our family memories!!!

Excellent Stay
The property was nice and had mostly everything we would’ve needed. The fire pit was nice with plenty of wood. We caught at least ten fish between Blue Gills, Small-Mouth Bass, and Perch. Owner was very nice and was helpful to point out anything we might use. Would definitely recommend for small families!
