My husband and I have stayed here twice with another couple. Both times we made last minute reservations and the property manager was wonderfully accommodating, The house is gorgeous. There is plenty of room outside for pets or kids to run around. We loved all the bathrooms and towels. Everything you could ever need is provided in the kitchen, Unfortunately, I have two complaints. If you happen to be two adult couples staying at The Stoney Hill Guesthouse, prepare to duel over the "good bedroom." One of the bedrooms has been updated and has an amazing bed. The other bedrooms are acceptable. When we realized one of us was getting a far inferior room it was disappointing, I know renovations are expensive, but I bet most people would be willing to pay $10 more a day for another nice bedroom; I suggest the downstairs bedroom would be a good candidate. If you are a large family who just needs a lot of beds, you will be thrilled. And the room with all the bunk beds is really fun just to hang out in. My second complaint is why we will not be coming back to the Guesthouse. Our first visit was in fall of 2010 and there was a problem with the hot tub. When we went to use it the first night it was not hot. Every other place that I have stayed with a hot tub the property manager had it hot and ready for us. The next morning I called the property manager to inquire about the not-so-hot-tub, left a voice message, and got no response ever. Later that afternoon we found hot tub instructions under some other manuals by the television! We figured out how to turn the heat up, but it only raised a degree or two an hour. By night time the tub was an acceptable temperature, so we got in only to find out that the tub could not maintain the temperature with the cover off. So our time in the tub was greatly limited. We gave the Guesthouse a second chance this past May. With the knowledge of our previous visit we checked the hot tub before we unlocked the house. Sure enough, it was in Power Saver mode. So we turned it up and 4 hours later it was warm enough to get in. But again, after 20 minutes the temperature dropped so low that we had to get out. Same thing happened the second night. Since we came to the Stoney Hill Guesthouse for the hot tub and it really is just a tub, we will not be coming back. But I do recommend The Guesthouse for those who don't care about the hot tub, and want a nice, clean place with lots of beds and bathrooms.
Owner response:The hot tub is now hardwired and heats much faster than before, but it still does need a patient touch on the controls. Pushing the buttons in fast succession will change the programming. Many times it gets into vacation mode. One would think this is a good thing but it really means that the tub doesn’t heat as fast. There are instructions at the house that will guide you through it if by chance this does happen. Regarding the bedrooms. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs that have equally expensive and comfortable linens with queen sized mattresses. One bedroom is a suite with a private bath that overlooks the lake; the other bedroom does not have a private bath. Both have new and antique furniture. The master does have an impressive 4 poster bed while the other bedroom has a high quality & wonderful bed, it is not nearly as visually impressive as a the 4 poster. The bunk room has futon mattresses, 2 full and 2 twins, that are great for kids and in addition, this room has a roomy private bath. The first floor bedroom has a full bed and a TV. I am not sure why any rooms are “inferior” to the others but the first floor bedroom is the one I prefer when I stay at the house.

July 24-26, 2009 Had a wonderful time on our first family vacation with infant Aria! We took full advantage of the hot tub, fire pit and rocking baby to sleep on the front porch! Mauthee Lake was a fairly short drive away, so family dog Riley got to swim at the pet friendly boat launch! The weather was great and we hope to make it back soon! Thanks f or the great accommodations and fond memories! Sincerely, Cory, Linnea Aria & Ryley DeBraal

Where do I begin? This home is WONDERFUL! We had a very memorable family gathering at this beautiful, charming and spacious home. I am so happy we decided to stay a full week! The view of the lake was spectacular from the comfortable rocking chairs on the front porch. We enjoyed the hot tub and kayaks too. The home is beautifully decorated and the FOUR bathrooms were great!! We had a fun time playing Apples to Apples. The home is ideally located too. We visited Elkhart Lake of course, as well as Plymouth, FDL, Kohler and Sheboygan Falls. The kitchen is updated nicely as well. I appreciated having a dishwasher and large dining room table. I am very happy this is a pet friendly rental! My small dog and my parents toy poodle were very "at home" here. This is definately a home I would recommend to anyone. I just hope we can return again in the future! Thank you, Karen for making this wonderful, charming home available to rent.

July 2009 Once again the house on Stoney Hill welcomed us and made our friends and family feel relaxed and welcome too. Each day we bless the 4 bathrooms and the charming rooms. The hot tub was a blessing this chilly summer! Thanks for everything, The Baker Family!

June 2009 Karen, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Many a racing story was told while sitting outside on the patio and around the dining room table. I particularly liked the hot tub~watching the stars and relaxing my achy muscles from a day at the track. See you and Stoney Hill again next year! The Werths Silver Spring MI

June 22-29-2009Just a note to say how much we enjoyed your lovely “House on Stoney Hill”. We felt “right at home” the moment we came in. We spent many hours sitting on the front porch enjoying the beautiful view of the lake. We look forward to coming again with our daughter & husband. Bev & Ken
