Lake Ripley Lakefront Cottage

Our peaceful lakefront cabin is 20 minutes from Madison’s “big city” amenities. The closest town is Cambridge, just 2 miles away, with grocery, cafes, galleries, and numerous outdoor amenities.

Single-level living, cool summer breezes, and plenty of lake-specific activities, including kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, and a traditional pontoon boat. Sunsets from the dock, from the deck, or from the Adirondack chairs by the fire pit. Decorated in updated MCM / 1950’s decor, including a Viking oven and cane furniture. Lake breezes mean that many summer evenings you will want to run the heater rather than the air conditioner! Central air-conditioning, high-speed internet, Weber gas grill, and all other modern conveniences.
