Waters Edge Cottage S

Summary:
Experience lakefront living at Waters Edge Cottage on stunning Lake Wisconsin! With over 100 ft of water frontage, this home offers unobstructed views of the sparkling lake. The large windows in the living room create a seamless connection to the water, making you feel as though you're sitting right on top of it. This cottage is ideally located in the heart of Merrimac, minutes from the public boat launch and popular attractions like Devil's Lake State Park, Merrimac Ferry, and Parfrey's Glen.

The Space:
Waters Edge Cottage is the ideal getaway for family and friends to create lasting memories on Lake Wisconsin. This property offers year-round activities for everyone, including swimming, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, boating, water skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing.

Inside, you'll find a range of amenities to make your stay comfortable and convenient. Each room is equipped with a TV, and the cozy memory foam mattresses ensure a restful night’s sleep. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need, including Tupperware, a NutriBullet, a coffee frother, and a Crockpot! The open-concept kitchen and living room offer plenty of space to spread out while still enjoying time together. For the little ones, there are coloring books, crayons, and plenty of family-friendly activities.

Step outside and enjoy the lakefront access, including a dock (boat not included), a canoe, kayaks, and a stand-up paddleboard. Note: Lifejackets are limited, so bringing your own is recommended. The spacious deck offers spectacular views of the sunrise and sunset every day of your stay, along with a Weber charcoal grill, a pellet smoker, a Char-Boil gas grill, and a firepit (wood not provided).

In the master bedroom, you'll find a closet with baby gates, an iron, an ironing board, and crayons. The second bedroom's open closet has additional bedding and more activities for kids.

Please note, boats may not be docked or tied to the pier overnight.

For your entertainment, the living room TV has a Firestick, but guests will need to log in and out of their own streaming accounts. The master and second bedrooms do not have SMART TVs, but you are welcome to bring your own SMART-compatible device if you prefer.

A true lakeside retreat, perfect for making memories all year long!

On the Lake Weekend

You can't ask for a better spot "on the lake.' We enjoyed relaxing on the deck with great lake views. The house was welcoming, clean, and the perfect size for our family. Check-in was easy and our host was responsive and helpful. Perfect weekend get-away.

Star gazing at devils lake

My son wanted to go to Devil’s Lake State Park for his birthday. We wanted a small quiet getaway and we got it! The added bonus was the kids catching fish right behind the house. Very close to state park. Great little lakehouse. Very clean! Will definitely stay again.

Great for furbabies

For people 'of a certain age' like us, there was NO TV for 3 days because we do Not has streaming services.....so there was absolutely NO television option. It was in the fine print/description, we just didn't realize that meant NO TV options at all, so be aware of that. That being said, the location and view was ideal and beautiful!
