There's Lakefront. And Then There's Tipperary Point.
Most lake rentals put you within arm's reach of your neighbors. You can hear their conversations, smell their grills, see their docks lined up like parking spaces. Tipperary Point is different.
Tipperary Point sits on a private, gated peninsula jutting into Lake Wisconsin — 4.5 acres of land, wrapped by water on three sides, with over 1,000 feet of shoreline. To put that in perspective, most lake rentals have 100 feet. Shaded by mature trees and set well back from neighboring properties, the cabin itself feels wonderfully secluded — far more so than the typical lake rental. You can sit in complete quiet and watch the water. This is the rare kind of lake property that feels like it belongs to another era — because in many ways, it does. Our family discovered Tipperary Point in 1979, and we've been protecting and loving it ever since.
Sunrise and Sunset — From the Same Chair
Because the peninsula extends out into the lake, you have open water views in nearly every direction. Watch the sun rise over the water in the morning. Watch it set over the water that same evening. No repositioning, no walking to the other side of the house — just you, the lake, and the sky doing something extraordinary twice a day.
The Cabin
This rustic Norwegian-style log cabin is warm, comfortable, and built for a proper lake week. Step inside to soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, a classic stone fireplace, and an open-concept design that feels generous and alive — the kind of space that makes you exhale the moment you walk in. Three bedrooms sleep up to 8 guests, plus a futon on the screened three-season porch for those who want to fall asleep to the sound of the water. Bedroom 1: Queen bed. Bedroom 2: Queen bed. Bedroom 3: Bunk beds, perfect for kids. Three-season porch: Futon, sleeps 1-2. Fully equipped with a nicely furnished kitchen, washer and dryer, WiFi, and ceiling fans in every room. Please note: the cabin is heated but does not have air conditioning. Lake breezes and fans keep things comfortable throughout the summer.
Perfect for Families with Young Kids
This is where Tipperary Point truly stands apart. Over 40 years ago, the family carved out a protected sandy lagoon along the shoreline — zero-entry, open to the lake, calm and shallow, perfect for little ones who aren't ready for deep water. It's the kind of thoughtful feature that takes decades to build and can't be replicated overnight. Right alongside it, a full Rainbow Play System — slides, swings, climbing wall and more — gives kids their own destination from the moment you arrive. Parents can relax at the water's edge while the kids play safely in the lagoon or on the playground. There is simply no comparable family setup on Lake Wisconsin.
Room to Roam
You're not renting a cabin on a postage-stamp lot — you're getting a wooded, waterfront peninsula, gated and entirely your own for the duration of your stay. Plenty of space for lawn games, hammocks between the trees, kids exploring the shoreline, or simply finding a quiet corner to disappear into with a book.
The Waterfront
With water surrounding the peninsula on three sides, you're never far from the lake. The property has far more elbow room than a typical lake rental — you'll see neighboring docks on the water, but the cabin and grounds feel genuinely set apart. A private dock extends into the calm water for fishing and swimming. Take the paddleboat out for a morning tour around the point, or let the kids spend the entire day between the lagoon and the dock. Lake Wisconsin offers over 20 miles to explore by boat. A nearby public launch accommodates guests trailering their own watercraft.
The Fishing
Lake Wisconsin is serious smallmouth bass country, and Tipperary Point puts you right in the middle of it. Guests consistently rave about the fishing — kids and adults alike. "The perfect spot to collect our thoughts, spend time with family and catch some MONSTER small mouth!" "There is a lucky hot spot that our littles were excited to find."
Evenings at Tipperary Point
As the light fades, gather around the fire pit — firewood provided — and watch the stars emerge over the water. Grill dinner on the gas grill, let the fire burn down slowly, and experience the kind of quiet that only comes from being genuinely away from it all. Just the lake, the fire, and your people.
The Location
Tucked in south-central Wisconsin, Tipperary Point gives you seclusion without isolation. You're within easy reach of the region's best — but you'll find yourself wanting to stay put.

If you need anything during your stay, we're always reachable.
