Sandy Beach⊹Lake⊹Firepit⊹Deck⊹Porch⊹Kayaks⊹Toys

Summary:
Escape to a perfect lakefront home for families with children of all ages! Enjoy this amazing, new beach house on Beach Lake - a 5-acre, private, sand bottom lake for swimming, fishing (catch/release HOA rules), canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc. Step to your own private beachfront area with a fire pit or enjoy sunsets from the upper deck or screened in porch. You'll be mere minutes away from Castle Rock Lake, boat launches, hiking, golf, restaurants, bars, and much more!

The Space:
“We planned to go to the Dells or Castle Lake, but honestly, we were too comfortable to leave…Incredible stay!” - Cory

Welcome to Beach Cottage! When we first saw this property, we knew immediately we'd found something special. It wasn't just the great location or the sandy beach that starts right from our back door – it was the feeling that this was where families create those perfect vacation memories.

We fell in love with having morning coffee on the deck with the rising sun reflecting off the water, evening bbq cookouts, and s'mores around the fire pit as the stars come out.

"You walk in and see the lake right away through the huge windows. Beyond that was a large deck where we had breakfast and dinners and watched our kids roll in the sand." - Cory

The heart of our home is really the connection between indoor and outdoor living. Those floor-to-ceiling windows aren't just for show – they frame the lake like living artwork that changes throughout the day. But what guests really rave about is stepping outside.

The screened in porch is where many of our guests spend their evenings – there's something magical about watching the sunset through the screens while staying cozy around the propane fire table. And yes, those are real wine glasses from Burr Oak Winery in the photos!

CONVENIENT LAYOUT - Main Level:

• Open-concept living room with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling lake windows.

“The house was set up great for our two families - one family used the 2 upstairs rooms and other had their privacy with the 2 rooms downstairs. The kids enjoyed the beach right outside the back door & the adults enjoyed watching them from the deck.” - Nicole

OUTSIDE - Private Sandy Beach & Water Adventures:

An absolute guest favorite is the backyard and we love it too! What’s great is you can step out from the screened porch or walk down the stairs from the upper deck - so convenient! Right off the porch is an outdoor table with seating for 4. You can set up yard games, like corn hole, out on the grass or have a little picnic.

And just a few steps further and you’re on the sand. Set up the beach chairs and take out the kayaks and floaties and make a splash! Gather around the firepit for s’mores and head back up to the deck for some BBQ dinner.

“My kids and I enjoyed kayaking and parking at the sandbanks they thought were their private islands.” - Cory

Here’s what you’ll have:

⭐ Direct walkout to pristine sandy beach
⭐ Beach fire pit with seating area (s'mores station included!)
⭐ Complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, fishing rods, sand and water toys
⭐ Floating island for ultimate water fun
⭐ Sand bottom lake - perfect for kids!

Fun time at the lake, lots of sand for the kids to play in and the lake water was pretty warm since it is not a large lake or too deep.

This is an amazing property for ski season! Plenty of space for two families and it had everything we needed. We loved the ski in/ski out, heated garage, kids area downstairs and the hot tub! The kids had so much fun playing in the snow just out front also. Vicki was so helpful and responsive! Definitely can’t go wrong booking this place.
