Shadyside Cottage at Terrace Beach Retreat

The Shadyside cottage is one of a trio of cottages available to rent at Terrace Beach Retreat on the northeast shore of Green Lake, WI. It is a 300 sq ft studio-style cottage that is perfect for a couple. Located about 80 feet from the shore, the Shadyside features one queen bed, a kitchenette, a bathroom with shower stall and a large screened porch facing the lake with patio furniture. WiFi, a smart TV for streaming, a charcoal grill, bath towels, dishes & cooking utensils are included. Guests are invited to swim, fish off the pier, play ping pong & corn hole, build castles in the sand, and enjoy the lakeshore fire pit. Kayaks, paddle boards, canoes and a rowboat are available to rent. We also rent a 3,600 lb and a 5,000 lb max capacity boat lift... please inquire about availability. Our beach has small stones for the first 20 ft or so, and then it is a nice sandy bottom. The pier ladders bypass the stones. The lake very gradually gets deeper along this part of the lake and there are no sudden drop-offs, which is perfect for swimming. The water is about 5 feet deep at the end of our pier. Guests will have access to their own cottage as well as shared access to the grounds, fire pit, pier and lake. Terrace Beach Retreat is family owned and operated. We live on-site and are available should our guests need anything. Beautiful Green Lake is the deepest lake in Wisconsin at 237 feet at its deepest. It is 7 miles long and 2 miles wide. Large and smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye, trout and panfish are abundant. The scenic Green Lake area has three golf courses, numerous hiking and biking trails, fishing guides and several boat rental facilities. We are located about 2 miles from the city of Green Lake, where one can find restaurants, shops, a weekly local farmers market and various festivals and music events throughout the year. Due to limited parking and backing space, only one vehicle per cottage is permitted to park down the hill by the cottages. Any extra vehicles must park at the top of the hill. If you have more than one vehicle here, only one is permitted down by the cottages at a time, even for loading/unloading. Large trucks may need to park at the top of the hill due to difficulty to maneuver. We reserve the right to limit the number of vehicles parked on the property. We are not responsible to any damage to vehicles, trailers, boats, etc., parked on our premises that may occur, including, but not limited to, damage that may occur due to falling branches. Rates vary depending on date. We are currently taking 7-night minimum stays for our 2022 season, which runs from May 27-Oct 12. We will take start taking shorter stays as the season gets closer. Guests are welcome to bring their own bedding (pillows, sheets, blankets, bedspread, etc). We will have a clean mattress pad on each bed. We are happy to provide all of your bedding with advanced notice. There is a $25 charge if you will be using our bedding. Please let us know whether you prefer to bring your own bedding or ours. If you or anyone in your group would like to bring a boat, it is very important to let us know ahead of time. Please tell us the type of boat you would like to bring and its weight so we can let you if it will work on our boat lift and if the lift is available during your stay. We do not allow boats to be tied to our pier or anchored off our shore. We have two ShoreStation manual boat lifts. The extra cost for using the 5,000 lb maximum capacity boat lift, which can accommodate both v-hull and pontoon-style boats, is $75/day or $425/week +tax. The extra cost for using the 3,600 lb maximum capacity boat lift (v-hull-style boats only) is $40/day or $250/week +tax. Maximum capacity includes the weight of the boat itself as well as gasoline, motors and all extra gear inside. Please note that there is not electricity by the boat lifts.
