Off the dining room, a cozy screened-in porch offers additional seating—a peaceful place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening, bug-free.

The living room is designed for relaxation with comfy seating, board games, and a collection of movies, perfect for cozy nights in.

.🏖 Shared Beach & Pier 🛶
This sandy beach and pier are private to the property, but shared with our neighboring guest cottage.
Please relax, enjoy, and share the space kindly.

Roche-A-Cri Lake is a 217-acre gem with a maximum depth of 20 feet—home to Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Walleye. Enjoy quiet mornings with no-wake hours from 6 p.m. to 10 a.m. daily. And with the public boat launch just 500 feet away, your lake adventure starts right here.

If you're considering a stay at Relax & Reset, you're in for a treat. Let me give you a rundown of what you can do at the lake and around Friendship, WI.

First off, Roche-A-Cri Lake is right at your doorstep. You’ve got a private pier and a sandy beach perfect for swimming, fishing, and just soaking up the sun. The lake is great for catching panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye.

Hiking and Nature: Just a short drive away is Roche-A-Cri State Park. It’s a gem for hikers and nature lovers, with scenic trails and ancient rock formations. If you’re into birdwatching or just want a leisurely stroll, this park has you covered.

Activities and Museums: For some local history, check out the Adams County Historical Society Museum. It’s a quaint place packed with stories of the area. If you’re into more active pursuits, ATV/UTV and snowmobiles are welcome on the town roads, so bring your gear for some off-road fun.

Dining and Nightlife: For a classic Wisconsin experience, Mo's Pub and Grill is the place to be. It’s known for its Wisconsin Fish Fry. If you want to venture a bit further, head to Rome, WI. There you’ll find fine dining options, a new local brewery, and even a bakery for some sweet treats. Bucky’s Bar & Grill is another spot worth checking out for a casual bite.

Forests and More Lakes: Beyond Roche-A-Cri Lake, you can explore the nearby Petenwell Lake, the second-largest lake in Wisconsin. Buckhorn State Park is another great spot for outdoor activities, with its diverse ecosystems and recreational opportunities.
