Cabin holiday rentals in Lake Mendota

Beautiful home right on the waters edge, great views, close to the dells.

We loved every minute of our stay, would definitely stay here again!

Had an amazing time at Kate's place for a low-key bachelorette party. It was super clean, extremely well-stocked, & we were all impressed with how updated/modern & cozy it was! The hot tub was clean & ready for use when we arrived. Totally awesome spot and exactly what we were looking for. I would 100% recommend!

This home was more than we expected—absolutely stunning! It was so cozy and welcoming, and the beds were very comfortable (we all slept great!). The views from the main window were just beautiful and made the whole stay feel extra special. Perfect spot for a relaxing weekend with friends!

If you are in need of a reset from the various pressures and stresses of life, I highly recommend securing a getaway to Beth’s Galena Haven property. We enjoyed quiet and tranquil mornings in which we were greeted by the beautiful songs of birds and whistles of wind. Like many, my wife and I needed time away from our busy lives in a much busier environment and this experience was precisely what we needed. Thanks Beth and Family for sharing your home. We look forward to our next stay.

For being our first family getaway, this was the best place for it! Under the circumstances, or family really needed family bonding and quality time. We found the perfect home! The kids had plenty to do even though it was too cold for the outdoor pool. They were very responsive and answered my thousand questions. 🤭🤪 I would definitely return!

My two best friends and I stayed at the fabulous Refugio Graziella for a relaxing girls’ weekend and it. was. perfect. Most of the weekend was spent lounging and chatting in all the many wonderful spaces the home offers: sipping coffee on the peaceful screened-in porch, relaxing in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows at the serene fire pit under the string lights with ample firewood and supplies, doing crafts and playing games at the inviting dining room table, cooking meals in the fully equipped kitchen, and listening to music in the cozy living room. We did not end up using the sauna (just didn’t have time), but are already planning a winter getaway to RG. We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend it if you are looking for a quiet getaway, surrounded by nature but still a short drive away from anything you need or want. Clearly, so much thought was put into anticipating the needs of their guests, and that makes Refugio Graziella a place you immediately feel comfortable. 🥰

My group and I were in town for a wedding, and we’re so glad we chose Tracy’s home. It was spotless - truly the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at - cozy, and tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. We loved spending time on the deck, enjoying our morning coffee, breakfast, and dinner out there. If you’re visiting Galena, I highly recommend staying here!

This place is beautiful inside and outside! The view while sitting on the porch is wonderful! Will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Beautiful and well done property with clear guidance for everything. Perfect spot for an overnight. We hope to return in the winter

My husband, two dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin! The point of my vacation was going somewhere we could take our dogs and this was the perfect spot to relax with them for a few days. Everything was clean and there was a perfect amount of space for us to relax. It was very quiet in the neighborhood and most of the time it felt like we were the only ones around. It was great to be able to walk to a very nice restaurant and bar a minute or two down from the cabin since we wanted to stay close. The only thing that bummed me out was we went at the end of May and the dock wasn’t put out - and I was hoping to spend time sitting out on the water. That could have been me not realizing the typical “season” but had assumed it’d be out so I recommend checking if that’s important to you :)

Great location. Every amenity you need. Good price. Responsive host and clear instructions. No complaints, we had a great stay.

My family and I stayed at the Driftless Escape Cabin and had a wonderful time! The interior was even more beautiful in person with plenty of space for my whole family. The Kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfy and they had everything you needed. The property was gorgeous with lots of open space and amazing views. We loved playing in the yard and s’mores by the fire. And even though the cabin is close to town, we still felt like we were miles away in nature and truly disconnected!!

Carolene's place is such a gem! Beautiful and peaceful. We especially appreciated the provided list of places to check out/things to do in the area. Highly recommend the local Amish bakery if you happen to be there on a Friday or Saturday.

We had an amazing stay! Dan was great with recommendations and instructions! The place was clean private area and just like the pictures. Look forward to booking in the future! My mom had a great birthday weekend!

Awesome stay! Perfect for a family get together - everyone had their own room. Close to tumbled rock- could hear the live music from the balcony!

This property was quite peaceful offering a very natural setting and quiet location where detachment comes easily. Many features such as the scents of fresh cedar which the interior is cloaked in as well as the rustic exposed beam trusses, and very spacious and natural shower which has a massaging river stone base. The kitchen is set for anything from pizza to gourmet meals. The short drive or reasonable walk to the lake front is quite convenient and the sunsets really something to sit on the dock and take in with your toes in the cool water. Seek this out if you are looking for a true getaway in a natural setting.

We’ve stayed here numerous times and have always had a great experience. Very peaceful location!

We enjoyed exploring Elizabeth and Galena by day, and relaxing on the deck with a peaceful view each evening. Perfect anniversary weekend. The house is cozy and welcoming.

Had an amazing stay in this very cozy Cabin. The hosts really take care of this cabin so it’s only right we do as well, even with frigid temperatures it still felt very warm inside. The hosts also work very diligent to keep everything running smooth. They were very responsive and flexible to help accommodate you. Thank you would visit again!

A great stay! This cabin in tucked away in the woods in a beautiful secluded spot. Very quiet and peaceful. House was immaculate. Wifi was also good. Would strongly recommend.

Our family of three plus two dogs had a great stay at Rebel's place! We loved that the cabin was set far back from the road, so our pups could safely explore the property. The setting is very serene and the only noises we heard were from the birds and frogs at the pond. The cabin itself was well stocked with everything we could need and the town of Hillsboro was just a short drive away. We would definitely return!

Quaint little cabin in the woods. Not much around, but was a dollar store nearby for any needed items. Snacks, coffee maker, and basic items in fridge were a nice touch. Host provided us with a bundle of wood which allowed us to have smores in the fire pit in the yard outside. Inside electric fireplace was nice too.

Beautiful location with great views of the countryside, about 10 minutes from the town of Avoca. Lots of wildlife along the drive. Wish we could have spent more time at the property, will look to stay there again next time I'm in the area!
