Pet-Friendly Lakeside Cottage w/ Kayaks and Canoe!

Welcome to Cattail Cottage, your cozy retreat nestled on the shores of Lower Holly Lake, in Stone Lake, Wisconsin. This open-concept cabin, built in 2021, boasts a perfect blend of modern comfort and rustic charm.

First, some quick notes:

Parking -- We kindly ask for a 4 vehicle limit. The driveway is the only place to park and it is not very big :-).

Dock Install/removal -- Our dock for Cattail Cottage is located within short walking distance from the property. Check out the illustration we have in the photo gallery that shows where the dock is! We usually take the dock out of the water late October (we wait as long as we can) and we usually put it back in around mid/late April (we try to get it in as soon as we can). If you are looking at dates during either of these times of the year, don't hesitate to reach out to confirm status before booking.

If you are thinking of bringing your own boat, ATV's, snowmobiles, etc, get a hold of me so we can talk logistics. The road coming into the cabin is tight, and so is the driveway.

Cabin Highlights:

• Spacious Living: With 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a finished walk-out basement, this 2,000 sq ft haven comfortably sleeps 10 guests. The cozy ambiance, complemented by central air and heating, ensures a delightful stay year-round. Note: The 4th bedroom is an open loft. Great for kids. Check out the photo gallery!
• Scenic Views: Take in the fantastic view of 48-acre Lower Holly Lake from the large deck or unwind in the screened-in porch. The beauty of the lake is right at your doorstep.
• Entertainment Galore: The fully finished walk-out basement is a game-lover's paradise, featuring a ping pong table. For those seeking relaxation, the gas fireplaces on the main floor and in the basement provide warmth and charm during the winter months.
• Full Kitchen: The complete kitchen, with a spacious center island, is a chef's dream. The dining table, seating 10, is perfect for shared meals and memorable conversations.

Perfect Location:

Cattail Cottage is ideally situated just a 10-minute drive from the charming town of Stone Lake. Explore pubs, antique stores, a micro-brew/coffee house, and a wine bar, all contributing to the town's unique charm.

For those craving more excitement, the bustling town of Hayward is a short 15-minute drive away, known for its food, shopping, year-round events, festivals, and tourist attractions.

Outdoor Adventures:

The cabin sits on a snowmobile and ATV trail, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Cattail Cottage, with its own dock, is perfect for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. This hidden gem offers a quiet escape with amazing fishing opportunities, including Northern Pike and pan fish.

A perfect fall getaway
Beautiful, quiet property and a lovely home with all the necessities and thoughtful touches. Easy to follow communications from the host and helpful driving instructions to help with dicey GPS directions! Everything was just wonderful and we highly recommend this property.

Great place!
Very neat, clean and in a quiet location but yet close enough to town for activities and groceries. Cabin was well stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of games and space to keep busy. The beach area is not located directly on the property but it is a short walk down a nearby trail. Pretty sunsets. Overall we all had a great time.

Family Retreat - Short but Sweet
Our family had a wonderful time at the cottage. (Five adults and two dogs). It was really a beautiful area, sunsets lovely, the huge porch looking over the lake very relaxing and kayaking fun. The place is lovely, owners very responsive and I would highly recommend. Our dogs loved the dock area and chasing balls at the waters edge. Our kayak excursions to find the turtles and enjoy the water was a highlight. (We did not attempt to swim, it is more of a fishing lake) We did see the fish. Cottage is set up for anything that you would need and beautiful.

Excellent Hideaway
We had an excellent time at the Cottage. My whole family enjoyed the fire pit roasting smores on the warm summer nights. The ping pong table was a hit with my teen. My husband and son even ventured on the kayaks and went around the lake a couple of times.. The house was very clean with plenty of towels and bedding The welcome book was very thorough. It was really an enjoyable experience I would definitely stay here again.

For a small little lake holy smokes it was so much fun watching the fishing activity! Loved everything! Brad our property owner was so highly communicative and I certainly appreciate everything he did for us! I honestly wish that there was a higher level we could give! 👍

Easter Weekend
We used this cabin as a halfway meeting spot to spend Easter Weekend with extended family and we are so glad we picked this cabin. I was perfect for what we needed. Plenty of space for everyone. The kids really enjoyed having the ping pong table and the many board games to keep us busy since there was still snow on the ground. It was very clean and Brad and Sarah were very helpful and responsive. If we book again we will probably bring our own pillows as the ones provided are very firm and we will also be bringing more large bowls for cooking for larger groups. Other than that everything was perfect. Hayward was a short drive north, it had everything we needed and we enjoyed walking around the downtown area.

Old friends girls’ weekend
Eight of my good friends rent a cabin every winter for long conversations and lots of laughing. We enjoyed staying at the cabin and sign up to cook each meal. The kitchen equipment is limited and small for larger groups. We had to serve a fruit juice from a mixing bowl and ladle and cook food in batches in the small frying pan. The cabin was very clean and had a lovely view. Be sure to bring your own throws and cushions if the weather is cold.

Clean and high quality, host is super responsive
The cabin is very clean and high quality. Love how everything is labeled - especially all the lights! Double bonus that there was a sponge and dish soap since I always forget to pack that. Love that it’s pet friendly. The floors are not carpeted which makes it great for pets. We have stayed in multiple of Brads properties and he is super responsive and answers all my questions.

Family Winter Gathering
Our family had a winter get-together, which was a perfect location for our group to get together. The cabin was immaculate. We had a lot of gathering space and bedrooms for our group. We were close enough to Hayward to get our grocery and food needs. There were a lot of amenities included, most of which we couldn't use due to the time of year. But, we did enjoy the ping pong table, large family table, and downstairs lounge area. We were able to take some walks in the rural setting which were quiet and relaxing. We also had our dog with us, which was nice as he also enjoyed the outdoor walks. Our family's only complaint was the extra firm pillows on all of the beds, which wouldn't deter us from booking this cabin again. We would just bring our own pillows next time. I would love to come again during the summer months just to be able to enjoy all the amenities the property has to offer.

Family Fall Getaway - MEA in Minnesota
We had five adults, three kids, (18 months, 6 years and 9 years). It was perfect for everyone! We could see the water even though it was a short walk to get to the dock. The space inside was perfect on the rainy days. When the weather cooperated we had a bonfire each late afternoon into the evening! The road was perfect for walks around the area. The fall colors were amazing! If we had questions Brad was just a message a way. We had a special request and since he was in the area he stopped over in person to help us out! The main floor was great during the day and we headed down to the lower level in the evening to watch baseball and play ping pong. There is a high top table down there that allowed a few to get one more board game in before heading to bed. We would definitely say, this is a place that would be worthy of a return visit!
