The owner has spared no expense to make this one of the finest accommodations you will find on Castle Rock Lake for your vacation getaway! Your luxurious lodge retreat is located in a hidden area of nature and plantation pines, which has been home to wildlife such as deer, fox, osprey, cranes, and an occasional friendly box turtle.



As you step into the slate foyer, you're greeted by the elegance of double beech wood staircases leading to two separate upstairs bedroom suites. An artisan chandelier illuminates the 20-foot grand foyer, setting the tone for the opulence that awaits. Throughout the 5000 sq. ft. modern lodge, Amish-milled cherry wood flooring creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The natural blending of various woods and textures, including travertine, granite, maple, basswood, and leather, adds to the richness of the space. The high cathedral great room serves as the focal point, featuring a patterned slate fireplace and two sets of patio doors leading to the deck overlooking the yard and bay. The open dining area and kitchen provide the perfect setting for gatherings, while the large screened-in porch offers an ideal spot for entertaining and enjoying the summer breeze.

Each bedroom suite boasts its own full bath, television, and window views from the extended sitting/reading room. The master bedroom offers private access to the deck, a walk-in closet, gas fireplace with sitting couch, and a luxurious whirlpool tub and shower. The lower level features a spacious walk-out recreation room with a wet bar and another fireplace.

Dock your boat in the quiet, protected bay just beyond the natural wooded shoreline for the duration of your stay. Your boat slip is located in the quiet waters of Timber Bay, a secluded inlet on the northeast side of Castle Rock Lake. Cruise out of the bay and within minutes you'll be exploring nearly 14,000 acres of open water. Spend the day fishing, tubing, swimming, or discovering hidden coves before returning to the peaceful waters of Timber Bay for a beautiful Wisconsin sunset. ✨

Explore the area's miles of connected trails with your bikes, hiking shoes, snowmobiles, or ATVs. Nearby attractions include state and county parks, canoeing, horseback riding, hiking, cross-country skiing, and more. And don't miss out on visiting the Sparta-Elroy Bicycle Trail, Necedah Wildlife Refuge, House on the Rock, or Frank Lloyd Wright homes.

After a perfect day of adventures, indulge in star-filled skies, fireside chats, and roasted marshmallows around a peaceful campfire. Come and enjoy this escape to nature in luxurious comfort.

Sleeping Accommodations:
The property offers sleeping accommodations for 14 guests, including two private king-size bedroom suites, one master suite with a king-size bed, and two additional bedrooms on the lower level, each with one queen bed. With a total of 5 bedrooms and 5 1/2 bathrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind.

Rental Details:
Weekly rentals are preferred during the summer rental season. Additionally, the property is pet-friendly, with additional fees applying for furry companions.

    Our family of 14 had an amazing stay! The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas! Plenty of room that nobody felt crowded. The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, silverware and dishes. Each bathroom had plenty of towels. The owners have done a great job making sure you have everything you need to feel at home. The host was great, quick to respond and answer any questions we had! We will definitely be back! Thank you for an amazing week long vacation.

    We had a great stay! Perfect location. Perfect holiday decor. Cleaning could be better (floors/ washing machine / kitchen equipment) when compared to our past stays. But overall, we had a terrific stay and look forward to staying again.

    This home is an absolute dream. Every one in our group, as we all separately arrived, walked in with some phrase of awe. The hosts missed no detail in the construction and design of this getaway. The atmosphere inside was as stunning as it was outside. It felt truly like a place where you could disconnect and wholly comfortably connect with each other. The amount of space, especially with dogs and a child with allergies who needed separate space from allergen food, was the absolute cherry on top to keep everything chill and present with as little stress as possible.

    The lodge is amazing and was perfect for our gathering. It says lakefront property but the property is on a channel of the lake without direct access to it.

    Another great vacation at the lodge.Accomodations were very nice as usual. This was our second year here as the house fits our large family Very well. Equipped with everything you need. Fire pit very nice also Walking path could be a bit wider with small children. Possible second fridge/freezer up stairs would be nice for large family food. We will be booking again next year. Thanks for sharing your house.

    This is our third year renting Waters Edge. We have already booked it for our family vacation in 2026. We love this property. The kitchen and dining space is huge which allows our entire family to gather together for meals. The kitchen is FULLY stocked, with multiples of every pot/pan (large and small), cookie sheets, glass and metal baking dishes, serving dishes, plastic containers (multiple sizes), utensils, plates, cups, coffee cups, and small appliances. If I had to think of something missing or in need of updating it would be minor (cheese slicer and sharper knives). The bedrooms are also fully stocked with ample blankets and pillows. Bathrooms are also fully stocked with towels. The basement bedroom below the dining space could use a new mattress. Over the years we have had a few different guests try it out all with the same uncomfortable conclusion. The outdoor space provides enough room to play bags and enjoy the space. We soo appreciate the owners adding the additional chairs (from a previous year suggestion) on the covered porch. The fire pit is always a good time and there are ample chairs. There is enough room for our 5 vehicles in the driveway too! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

    We could not have asked for a better house to celebrate our family Christmas! The house is beautiful! The kitchen is stocked with anything you could think of including crock pots, an air fryer (downstairs), ice maker, spices, Tupperware for left overs, the list goes on. The bedrooms are very large and the mattresses are comfortable. We never ran out of hot water or towels. The air mattress was a nice surprise. The house had plenty to keep us entertained, but we really enjoyed our walks down by the lake. For this time of year, the house was perfect for us!

    Beautiful house - each bedroom had its own bathroom which made it convenient for our group of married couples. Kitchen was also well-stocked. We had an issue with the fireplace not working in the master bedroom but other than that, the stay was great. The deposit policy though is a bit odd. You pay it with your credit card then they reimburse it back to you a month later via check. I’ve never encountered that from a rental on VRBO.

    We love this place. This is our second year here and already booked for next year. The owner listened to our request for additional outside porch chairs from last years review. Thank you! Still hoping for outdoor games (e.g., corn hole, later, badminton, or croquet). The second boat slip was very useful. However, a neighbor came down to tell us we were not allowed two slips. It was a little awkward. I invited him in and provided the information available at the property and what was provided to us. II suggested he call Cottage Keepers. It was resolve but, that was resolved pretty quickly and the neighbor returned to apologize. We appreciate how well stocked the kitchen is as we have to bring very little. Internet service is strong, but cell reception stinks (US Cellular).

    Our family had such a great experience at Water's Edge! Attributes: Very roomy and spacious; Very nice amenities; Very clean and beautiful; Very comfortable beds; Opportunities: Ice maker did not work in the frig; For a large family, a second full size frig would be nice; A game room-pool/ping pong would be nice for those rainy days; A wider path to the lake with small children would be nice. Overall, we would recommend this rental for any large family, and we so hope to rent again!! Thank you.
