Cabin vacation rentals in Lake Mendota

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!

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy cabin! It’s rustic in all the right ways—full of charm and character—but also very clean and well maintained. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The property is a real gem. One of our favorite parts was fishing off the pier—we caught lots of small bass and even landed a 4–5 pounder! The pool and gazebo were also wonderful spots to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Noam was welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better. We recommend checking out this spot if you’re looking to unplug, enjoy the outdoors, and stay somewhere that’s both comfortable and unique!

Perfect location. Loved all the activities and yet super quiet

We were all very satisfied with the stay. It was super clean and the location was wonderful. We will definitely be staying there again in the future.

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 :)

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. It was the perfect place for our family of 5 (three kids 5 and under). The kids loved all of the games and had a blast in the hot tub and with the kayaks! They also loved going on walks to look for deer and to see the nearby horses. Good fishing close! We really enjoyed our stay and if we find ourselves in the area again will be booking with Meg and Brian again! Great hosts and very responsive! I highly recommend this place! Also, I recommend Candy’s Merrimac Cafe for breakfast and On the Rox for pizza (and goats!)

Nicole’s cabin was beautiful! It was perfect for our group. It was very clean, neat and tidy. She was very quick and prompt to hear back from if I had a question about the stay and made the check out instructions very clear and reasonable. I will definitely be coming back the next time I am in the dells!

Steve and Carrie are wonderful hosts who live on the property and there to assist with anything you need. They provided kayaks, paddle boards and a peddle boat which everyone loved. It was one of the best stocked Airbnb’s we have stayed in. Perfect for a family of 10 in town for a graduation.

Excellent experience. This home is magnificent! We had a group of 11 girls, the size, layout and details of this home are truly spectacular. We enjoyed the large balcony, the spacious rooms, and the beds are so comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Each bedroom has its own bathroom- great for 11 girls getting ready. The location is perfect - remote, peaceful but only 15 minutes from downtown Galena. Kapil, our host was great! Very responsive and helpful and kind. Made sure we had everything we needed. They take wonderful care of this home. Great experience overall! Can’t wait to go back!

The cabin was spacious, clean, and lovely. So many incredible amenities, particularly the hot tub. Lovely and quiet surroundings leading down to the river. Just awesome.

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.

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!

Highly recommend, especially for families! Alex had so many things for kids, including a bounce house, bikes, plates, etc. Not to mention the pool! We will be returning!

Debbie was very communicative before and during our stay. The property has plenty of yard room for outdoor activities and we loved that we didn’t feel stacked up against a bunch of other houses. The driveway can accommodate a group of cars and we loved the reclining couch in the basement. I’d highly recommend this property.

The cabin was awesome and comfortable. The porch overlooking the hills was really relaxing and we spent most of our time there. The fire pit was terrific and we loved all the accessories (fire starter, grate for cooking). Perfect location too, just outside of Richland Center and a short drive to stores if needed. If you are in the area , I would definitely recommend staying at this cozy cabin! Jason

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

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

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!

There is not a single remark that would be remotely negative about Joe and Nadine’s place! If you’re looking to beat near the dells, but have peace and tranquility this is the place you need to stay! This was the perfect place for My family of four to unplug and unwind to start summer off right! Thanks for the amazing stay Joe and Nadine!

John and Sue were sooo sweet!! She made us a giant tub of delicious granola which our family devoured with our fruit and yogurt. He gave us a tour of the cabin and where to find things. We had our family's children for lunch and they LOVED the game room! The cabin is BEAUTIFULLY decorated and I loved the cabin theme throughout the entire house, including the bathroom. In addition to all of that, my family LOVED the peace of the cabin both inside and out.

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!
