Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard check-in and check-out time? Can we get early check-in and late check-out?
Our standard check-in time is 4:00PM and check-out is 10:00AM. This allows our professional cleaning crew to get the property sparkling 🫧 clean 🧼! Early check-in and late check-out is often available. However, during the busier summer months we may not be able to grant it due to a same-day turnover. We appreciate you understanding!
Is there a nearby grocery store if we want to take advantage of the property's well-equipped kitchen?
For groceries, there is a wonderful Festival Foods in Mauston about 10 mins away. They have an extraordinary selection, and even have delivery available via Instacart. There is also delivery available from the local Wal-Mart. We pride ourselves on providing a well-equipped kitchen with a variety of pots, pans, basic spices, and even a pizzaz pizza oven!
We have a smoker in our group. Can we still book?
Of course! We just kindly ask all smoking is done OUTDOORS and away from the property. Just as a heads-up, we have deployed recreational smoke detectors that will detect, alert, and document any violations. Please help us keep the space enjoyable for all.
How big is Sunset Lake? Can we bring our boat?
Sunset Lake is a quaint spring-fed lake perfect for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. The lake is clear, warm in the summer, and weed-free. Motorized craft are not allowed on Sunset Lake, however Castle Rock Lake is just down the road a couple miles and is over 17,000 acres and is great for boating, fishing, etc.
Do you offer any discounts or flexibility on pricing?
Sometimes! Go ahead and give us a call at (608) 315-2008 or email us at golden@goldenmapleproperties.com and we'll see if we can work out a deal! Please understand we may not be able to accommodate all requests.
What's there to do in the area?
A LOT! For families, our properties are a quick and easy 30 minute drive via the interstate to the Wisconsin Dells area. The WI Dells is known as the "Water Park Capital of the World," and has enough entertainment options for all ages. Check out https://www.wisdells.com/ to plan your activities. A couple miles down the road is Castle Rock Lake -- one of Wisconsin's largest recreational lakes. Bring your own boat and use one of the public launch spots, or rent a pontoon for the day! For adults, there are many uniquely Wisconsin-based breweries, wineries, and distilleries within driving distance. Just ask us for a list! For nature lovers, there are multiple state parks nearby. Our favorite is Devil's Lake State Park, which is Wisconsin's most popular park. Made from a glacier during the ice age, the park has activities ranging from swimming, kayaking, picnics, and different levels of hiking with breathtaking views.
Are there restaurants or bars nearby?
Yep! Just down the road are a handful of great places right on Castle Rock Lake. The Dirty Turtle has a massive open-air pavilion with live music on the weekends. Pine Cove is known for its famous smash burgers. Enjoy a flatbread and beer at Gravitybox Brewing in Mauston. Travel a little further and you'll unlock dozens of places in the WI Dells. Our favorite spot is Ishnala Supper Club. Situated right on Mirror Lake, Ishnala is located on an old Native American trading post and offers a variety of steaks and entrees. Don't forget to order a world-famous Wisconsin Brandy Old Fashioned!
Are pets allowed?
At this time we do not allow pets due to allergy concerns of our family and other guests.

Why our guests

Love Staying Here

This was an amazing getaway for our bachelor party. The house held our group well and everyone had enough space, hot water, and places to sleep. We especially loved how close it was to the Dells and a local pontoon rental. The property itself was so much fun and we enjoyed the amenities. We would absolutely come back and do it all again.

We had a great time, the kids had so much fun, that we didn’t even go to a waterpark in the Dells. The Host, Luke and Abby were very responsive. We plan on returning next year. My husband said this was by far the nicest and best rental we have stayed at, and I agree. -Nicole

This was our second stay at Sunset Shore. Words aren't enough to describe what excellent hosts Luke and Abby are! They are extremely attentive to details, their place is full of extras....like soaps in the showers, plenty of towels, dishes, etc. to accommodate a big group, coffee for the morning pick-me-up. What especially stands out is their quick responses to any of our needs and inquiries. 5-star hosts and more! You won't regret staying here.

This has by far been the most accommodating host and stay I’ve had on a trip. From the quick communication, online guide with information, down to the little details of providing everything a guest would need - especially big groups! Many things to do outside with the outdoor lake toys & inside with the arcade room, massage chairs, & karaoke! Would definitely recommend & stay again - very well done.

We had a fantastic stay! The house was beautiful, comfortable, and easily accommodated our group of 11. We especially loved spending time by the pond and enjoying evenings around the fire pit. Everything was clean , well maintained, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.
