Friendship Lakefront with Dock, Paddle Boat

Friendship Hill sits right on Friendship Lake, with a private dock, a dedicated boat slip, two kayaks, a 4-person paddle boat and a lakeside fire pit. Three bedrooms and two full baths sleep up to 10, with two separate living areas so kids and adults can spread out. Bring your own boat, fire up the grill, then end the day around the fire. Roche-A-Cri State Park is minutes away and Wisconsin Dells is about 35 minutes. Fast Wi-Fi, laundry and a full kitchen make longer stays easy.

Guest Access
You'll have the entire home, the lawn, the decks, the fire pit and the private dock to yourselves. The owners' locked storage closets and cabinets, their pontoon and small electric-motor boat at the dock, and the lake weed-control unit belong to the owners, are not part of the rental and are not for guest use. Self check-in is through the smart lock on the front door; your personal code arrives 24 hours before check-in once the guest-portal steps are complete.
