We had a great time staying on Castle Rock Lake. The townhome was great and clean. There was room for all 12 of us. The area that the townhome was located in was a little disappointing since the pool area was not allowed to be used by guests, the restaurant wasn’t open for the summer, and the beach area wasn’t great for swimming. We didn’t realize until we got there that there was a big drop off into the lake from the townhome as well. The drop off made it that we couldn’t fish right out the back like we had planned.While the townhome was nice, there are definitely some things that need fixing and improvements. A lot of the light bulbs were burnt out, including the one on the back of the house, so it was pretty dark back there at night for letting a dog out. There were also bulbs burnt out over the dining table. None of the clocks in the house worked. They all needed new batteries. The TVs were very limited to what could be watched on them. The ones in the bedroom really only had the availability to watch dvds. It would be a good improvement to upgrade the TVs. Alternatively supplying dvds, if that’s the only option, would be good as well.

Annie’s Townhome was just the right size for our family. It’s well stocked with everything you need for cooking your own meals. Lots of room in the great room/ kitchen/dining area. She was very responsive when I had a small issue. They were there in a few minutes to help fix the issue. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay near Castle Rock Lake.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Good layout, plenty of room, nice location near the lake, but 2 of the 3 bedrooms had dirty sheets, clearly were not cleaned. One of them had crumbs. That sort of ruined it for us. Showed a photo to management. Disappointed we did not get compensated in some way. They also did not have soap or shampoo. Good thing we brought our own. Happy that it was pet friendly, but garage smelled like dog food. Disappointed the bar/restaurant that is walking distance was closed for the season. And doesn’t seem fair that there is a community pool but renters cannot use it. It was super hot and would have been nice to cool off in the pool in the evening. Nice little patio but could not sit outside to drink our coffee in the morning, nor dinner at night. Too many mosquitos and flies.

Lovely, quiet location!

Our family enjoyed a lovely stay on Castle Rock Lake. Annie was very accommodating to our needs. A large, clean space was perfect for our family of 9 to gather. The area is very quiet and praceful. We enjoyed renting a pontoon, the lovely beaches, nearby playground, state parks and the proximity to the dells. We enjoyed the boat tour to Witches gulch and the visit to the deer park. The local meat market had a wonderful selection! The only thing that was missing from the kitchen was a large casserole dish which would have been handy for a large group like ours.. We comfortably slept 8 people but did need an air mattress for the 9th as the advertised pull out couch is not sleepable at all. Other than that, it was perfect.

great place to stay

large townhome very comfortable for 8 of us, well-stocked kitchen, great communication with questions, check in process, etc., king bed is super comfy, cousins has fun sleeping in bunk bed room together, gas grill worked perfectly. and best of all, during the week the lake is dead which made our wake surfing and boarding, and anchoring with lily pad very enjoyable, we were also able to get a slip at the marina (but, beware they will not call you back if you try to reserve beforehand; we got it when we arrived, luckily they had a few open spots) Cons: TV in living room was small which made it tough to watch the olympics at night, no great view of the lake from the living room

Overall a great stay

We vacationed around the dells and found this to be a great location. It was about a 30 minute drive from the Dells. It’s a quiet and peaceful area right on the water (no beach access directly on property but a short walk to). There is some places near by to rent boats. The beach area has the softest sand we have ever felt. Overall, our stay was great. We did have some concerns that the sheets were not clean. There was some crusty yellow stuff on one set of sheets and the other was just in general dirty. We also were surprised that for a house that lists it could accommodate up to 12, it didn’t supply bigger dishes for large meals, seating in the living room only fits 4 and the kitchen table only seats 6 but others can sit at the island if need be. Closet in master room is locked so no where for hang up clothes unless borrowing a closet from other rooms. Property manager did not need to be contacted during our stay but we had great communication leading up to our stay. We did not have an issue with internet during our stay. It would be nice if there was some activities for the house (such as yard games, additional board games, lake floaters). Overall it was nice.

Not worth the price

This property was disappointing. Beware of small details. They do not provide shampoo, soap for in the shower/bath (unless you want to use liquid hand soap), coffee, facial tissues or beach towels. I have not stayed at a rental property before that did not provide these basic amenities. Because we flew with carry-on bags only, space was limited in our luggage. The grounds around the townhome were not well-kept--lots of overgrown grass and weeds. Things seemed relatively clean inside but there were wrappers on the floor in the master bedroom, and coffee grounds and coffee in the coffee pot from the previous renter. The development that the town home was in was eerily quiet (even on the Saturday we were there.) The on-site restaurant (which does not get very good reviews) was closed during the week and the pool is not open to renters. The beach was deserted. The setting is pretty in the trees with views of the lake, but the best view is from the master bedroom balcony. The patio downstairs has only a round log table with benches and a grill. There were two folding lawn chairs and one beach chair in the garage, which we planned to use to watch the sunset--but then realized the beautiful sunset pictures on the site are actually pictures of the sunrise which, in July, beams directly onto the bed in the master bedroom. There was just an overall atmosphere of "hanging on" and doing the minimum to get by. I would not stay again. Way overpriced for what you get.

Jules from Missouri

The property was very nice and convenient to the highway but pictures misrepresented access to the lake from the house. While it is lake facing there is a major drop from the yard to the lake which creates no access to swim. However, there is a beach nearby. Back yard is shared with neighbors who have 2 very large dogs staked out there and gives limited access for kids to play.

Castle Rock Lake Townhouse

Everything was great except that the pictures in the listing were distorted making the refrigerator look huge when it was actually much smaller which made things challenging for us during our week long stay. The photos should be more realistic so one knows precisely what to expect. The master bedroom walk-in closet was locked and not available for use which was not stated in the listing.. The master bedroom king bed blocked the outlet for the left side of the bed preventing one from placing ones alarm or phone charger on the bedside table. A power strip should be plugged in behind the bed for use on the table or floor for guest use since this bed is too large to move to get access to that outlet. The washer/dryer is a space saving stacked unit in a closet upstairs. Be prepared to climb 21 stairs to get upstairs and back down! Overall, this house is very nice and the management was very responsive when the wifi went out toward the end of our stay. We would stay there again and give it a thumbs up aside from the master bdrm issues.

Family Fun

We enjoyed the home very much. We had 8 adults and 4 children ages 6 and under. There was a lot of space and it was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen could have used more serving/baking ware to prepare the amount of food you need for 12 people (large serving bowls, 9X13 baking dish, more flatware, e.g.) but had plenty of pots and pans for the stovetop. Be aware that the backyard ends at a 12 ft bluff, especially if you arrive at night. Loved the driveway being in a culdesac for kids to ride bikes and play safely. Overall an excellent stay and we highly recommend!

Beautiful serene retreat

Beautiful townhouse set within a serene woods and lake view. Close to everything you need and within 30 minutes of Wisconsin Dells. Townhouse was spacious and beautifully decorated. We had an issue with the oven and within a short phone call was addressed and fixed. Only downfall was the establishments near by were closed during our stay, but others were a quick drive down the road. Took advantage of the nearby water sports rentals and enjoyed the beach which was a short walk. I highly recommend!! We had a great time!

It was very easy to set up and the owner was amazing to work with for changes or questions. We were so impressed with how beautiful and spacious the home was. It met all our needs but wish we would have known it wasn’t directly on the beach like the pictures made it look. However, even though it wasn’t on the beach, it was very close and we loved the quiet peacefulness. We will definitely go back again!! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
