About this property

Rifugio - your lakefront refuge on Whitewater Lake

  • Rifugio | A Relaxing Lakefront Retreat on Whitewater Lake

    Rifugio, an Italian word meaning refuge, retreat, or a place to rest and recharge, is exactly what this comfortable Whitewater Lake home is meant to be.
    Tucked along the shores of beautiful Whitewater Lake in Wisconsin, Rifugio is a welcoming three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath lakefront home where families and friends can step away from the everyday and enjoy a little more time together. Start your morning with coffee overlooking the water, spend the afternoon swimming, boating, fishing, or relaxing outside, and end the day gathered together for dinner, games, or a quiet evening by the lake!

    Main Floor Queen Bedroom
    A comfortable queen bedroom is located on the main level and features a pull-out single sofa sleeper, making it a flexible option for one additional guest or child.

    Primary Bedroom
    Just six steps up from the main level, the primary bedroom offers a little extra privacy and a beautiful place to unwind. The room features a king bed, comfortable sitting area, and private ensuite bathroom with a jetted tub and shower combination. Step outside onto your private balcony!

    Stay, Sleep & Play Bedroom
    The third bedroom on the second floor is designed with kids and the young at heart in mind. This fun space features two arcade games, a window seat perfect for curling up with a good book, and a pull-out full-size sleeper sofa (Please note, stairway from main level to second level is open without door to bedroom. See photos)

    Parking is available for 2 large vehicles or 3 smaller vehicles. Must park in the driveway. Street parking not permitted.
