Poynette Cottage | Island View Hideaway-Peaceful, On Water, Canoe, Scenic, Birds, Nature, Sandbars!

2 Bedroom Cottage in Poynette

Rent this furnished cottage to enjoy the beauty of nature on the Wisconsin River and Lake Wisconsin. Conveniently located on shallow Lake Wisconsin waterfront with sandbars to wade to between Madison and the Wisconsin Dells, just 1.5 hours from Milw and 3 hours from Chicago.
Bring some firewood (or buy it locally) and have a campfire in the firepit next to the water!
This 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2-story cottage has a bright, clean kitchen and a wonderful open layout on the first floor. Beautiful views out the large living room windows look onto green, sandy islands, sandbars and the undeveloped distant shores of the Wisconsin River as it opens up into Lake WI. Explore the many channels, sandbars, and islands of the WI River and Lake WI.
Same owner as smaller cottage next door.
SPRING, SUMMER, FALL & WINTER Adventures! Green trees, sunny sand-bars, and a lazy river await you. Tucked off the main channel the cottage has the best of both worlds…easy assess to the big water, a great view of the water and sunsets, but little boat traffic. Because of our shallow waterfront location, the choice is yours, launch your boat at one of 3 nearby boat launchs and head left for Lake Wisconsin or go right for the Wisconsin River. You’ve got it all right here! You can launch your boat daily and spend an exciting day on the open water of the lake (too shallow to get a boat of any size into our channel but you can park your trailer in front at the end of the day) or a quiet day exploring the Dells-like bluffs and the nearby islands, coves, and backwaters in your canoe or kayak. The shallow water in front is great for kayaks and canoes. Explore the many channels, sandbars, and islands of the WI River and Lake WI. Relax with friends or family on the deck after a day canoeing or kayaking around the sandy tree-covered islands.
Enjoy shallow water fishing from the sandbar in front, from our canoe, or use a boat to hit several of the best local fishing spots all within 5 minutes of the cottage: The Narrows, Fockes Bluffs, Tipperary Bluffs, and Camp Rest Park. Good fishing for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, White Bass, Catfish, Largemouth, Crappie and more.
The cottage has a green lawn for yard games or for kids to run around in, plus just a block away is a park with playground equipment and wading beach, perfect for small children and dogs. Tennis and basketball courts are just a mile up the road. Bike riding opportunities on winding country roads in the area are fantastic. Up for a challenge? Circle Lake Wisconsin on your bike, it's about a 50-60 mile trip with a free ferryboat crossing as a highlight!
This two bedroom, two bathroom house has a full kitchen and an open layout. The kitchen is equipped with all you’ll need to prepare any meal you like…or grill out on waterside deck on the gas grill! Feeling lazy? Kick back and enjoy the 47” flat screen LCD HDTV, so...relax, sip a drink, even surf the web, and watch the river go by!
Beautiful views out the large living room windows and across the 16’x25’ deck look onto green, sandy islands and the undeveloped distant shores of the Wisconsin River as it opens up into Lake Wisconsin.
FALL & WINTER FUN! After the summer crowds leave you’ll find unique beauty and tranquility on the river. Tucked in among the surrounding bluffs and hillsides you’ll find gorgeous fall colors and dazzling winter scenery. Hundreds of wooded acres across the street are home to the Red Bellied Woodpecker, Wild Turkey, and White Tailed Deer, while the ever-changing river offers views of Sandhill Cranes, Bald Eagles, Beaver, and Muskrat. Scenic drives in all directions make interesting day trips more fun! Many nearby day-trip possibilities including the Wollensheim Winery, Wisconsin Dells, Devil's Lake State Park, Baraboo Circus World Museum, and so much more. Nearby ski hills include Cascade Mountain (15 min) and Devilshead Lodge (30 min).
So much to see and so much to do! Relaxing!
Fish for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, White Bass, Catfish, Largemouth, Crappie, and more. Many nearby day-trip possibilities including the WI Dells, Devil's Lake State Park, Baraboo Circus World Museum, and more! Great bird-watching!

Summary: My husband and I celebrated our 42nd anniversary at this charming and peaceful cottage. It was a great location for our yearly canoe trip we take near Spring Green down the WI River. I had the occasion to speak with the caretakers and with Dave, the owner, and they are all so friendly.The cottage was very clean and welcoming. We really enjoyed the hot tub overlooking the River and saw bald eagles, cranes and many other birds daily. The cottage is well equipped with kitchen supplies, Everything you need to prepare full meals. We hope to return on one of our future anniversary trips!

Summary: We stayed here for a business trip to Poynette and really enjoyed this area. Very nice backyard with access to the river & lake.

Summary: Just what I was looking for. Quiet and relaxing stay in a cottage that felt like home.
Carole D. Mar 28, 2025 06:13:31 AM
Summary: The location of this house is lovely. The back deck overlooking the very peaceful water was wonderful. We appreciated the gate on the deck so the dogs wouldn’t get off the deck when we didn’t want them to. We really got a kick out of the sandhill cranes calling to each other and we saw bald eagles twice.We used the house as a base for many hiking adventures in the area and the nature could not be more beautiful.A few things that weren’t great: the upstairs bedroom is only accessible by a very very narrow spiral staircase. The dogs wouldn’t go up there and my 78 year old mom, who hiked several miles a day with me and my sister and is very fit, was not comfortable in the stairs. If I had little kids I wouldn’t have liked them using the spiral staircase. I think that should’ve been disclosed in the description. The pans in the kitchen had scratched Teflon and I don’t think they are safe to use. We had to go buy disposable pans at the piggly wiggly. The extra sheets for the pull out couch (where I slept since my dog would’ve cried all night if I had gone upstairs since she couldn’t go up the spiral stairs) were threadbare and scratchy and the extra blankets were stained so I wasn’t comfortable with their cleanliness. The upstairs bathroom wasn’t clean.We were graciously allowed a late checkout with we appreciated. The binder with suggestions about the area helped us find some great hiking spots. The local caretaker was friendly and unobtrusive.

Summary: Very clean nice place with a wonderful hot tub, and amazing views.
John K. Mar 9, 2025 07:00:07 AM
Summary: Our family had a amazing stay at the Island View Hideaway. Due to it's location we had many of opportunity to see and hear ambudance of water foul and other wild life. S'mores by the fire and use of the hot tube where hylites. If making day tripes such as the Wisconsin Dells or Milwalkee, this was a great location and match. I would like to come back during the summer and see so much more.John, Kathryn, Micheal and Gabe.

Summary: This cottage is wonderful! It was so clean and cozy. We came here for a ladies' weekend. 3 sisters and our mom. We LOVED the hot tub, the view was breathtaking, quiet neighborhood, and easy access in/out. The host was communicative during the VRBO process and was very accommodating with my questions. The rental manager, however, was not great. We had issues with the gas fireplace. (We came in February and it's still cold so we were excited for this luxury for extra warmth). I needed to call the manager our first night to get instructions on how to restart it as it was shut off. He was helpful, however, very short with me and I felt like it was inconvenient that I had to call him for this. I got it turned back on and we shut it off before bed. The next day, we were apprehensive on restarting it (the instructions in the binder were not aligning with the pilot, etc.). I called the manager asking him if he could possibly come over (the VRBO instructions stated he lived across the street) and assist us in a safe start and maybe go over the correct process. He refused and was annoyed with me and proceeded to blame us for 'messing around with it' and it will just have to remain off. I was really taken back by his demeanor and I only hope the host is aware of this so it does not happen to future tenants.Highly recommend this rental if the future of management can be improved.

Summary: It was a comfortable visit. We enjoyed the Christmas decorations and the hot tub. It was very convenient to have two bathrooms, and to be able to bring our dog with us.
Laura L. Oct 19, 2024 09:00:01 PM
Summary: Traveled from Milwaukee for the beauty and peacefulness of nature by the Wisconsin River. We enjoyed our stay in this very nice home with a great location. Well cared for property and we’d definitely return!!

Summary: We enjoyed staying at the cabin. Being tall, at first I was intimidated by the slope of the roof, but, I did not hit my head. The set up of the property was great
