About Lakestone Storage
A Dane County Company, Not a National Chain
Lakestone Storage is part of Lakestone Properties, a real estate company founded in McFarland, Wisconsin in 2010 by Brett Riemen and Brian Spanos. Both grew up in or around McFarland and still live there today with their families. From the start, the idea was simple: build and manage properties that actually fit the communities they sit in.
For a storage renter, that shows up in a practical way. When you call Lakestone Storage, you're reaching a team headquartered a short drive from Cambridge, De Forest, Sun Prairie, and Stoughton — not a national call center that's never seen your unit or your town.
At a Glance
- Founded in McFarland, Wisconsin in 2010 by Brett Riemen and Brian Spanos, both longtime Dane County residents.
- Four Wisconsin locations: Cambridge, De Forest, Sun Prairie, and Stoughton.

- Month-to-month terms across all four locations, in keeping with the flexible approach the company has applied to its residential and commercial properties since 2010.
How the Company Started
Brett and Brian founded Lakestone with a straightforward goal: build multifamily developments in the Dane County area with real attention to quality and to the neighborhoods they were part of. Over time that grew into a broader portfolio — residential communities across McFarland, Stoughton, Oregon, Sun Prairie, and Deerfield, commercial properties, a marina, and eventually storage. The storage side grew out of local demand for the same flexibility the company was already offering elsewhere.
A Local Team You Can Actually Reach
Lakestone Storage's day-to-day operations are run out of the company's McFarland office, alongside the same accounting, marketing, and maintenance teams that support Lakestone's residential and commercial properties across Dane County. A billing question or unit size recommendation goes to someone who knows all four locations personally.
Part of a Larger Dane County Portfolio
Lakestone Storage sits alongside Lakestone's residential communities in McFarland, Stoughton, Oregon, Sun Prairie, and Deerfield, along with commercial properties and a marina, all under one locally based company. That means over a decade of experience specifically in Dane County real estate — understanding the local market, weather, and demand patterns firsthand.
Our Approach to Storage
Across Cambridge, De Forest, Sun Prairie, and Stoughton, Lakestone Storage applies the same approach the company has used since 2010: month-to-month rental with no long contracts, drive-up access built around how Wisconsin households and local businesses actually use storage, and temperature-controlled units available at our De Forest location.
