great youth trip locations

Had a great time on our youth trip. Lot's of hiking all around and a great set up. There isn't a TV/DVD which would have been good to know in advance but is FAR from being a deal breaker. Would stay here again.

Wedding Weekend

We were in New Holstein for a family wedding. The house was adorable! Mary was so kind and quick to respond to any questions we had. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The AC was great in the 90 degree weather! We will definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

Better than expected!

This was the only option I could find in the area to accommodate our 10 person group in a single home, so I wasnt too picky. I was VERY happy with this place! It is as advertised and even better. Ceilings are TALL and there was a LOT of space for kids to play. Thank you!

Ample space in this charming house. It was clean and nice. We had trouble with the a/c but thought it was operator error so I never contacted the homeowner until we left. Bring your own trash bags if you think you'll need more than one.

Thanks for your review. Yes, notification is appreciated at the time of trouble. The repair was complete within 20 minutes of the technician's arrival. Sorry for your discomfort. Also, please alert the host when there will be 3 adults and 3 children vs 2 adults and 2 children. Thank you for your stay.

Just like Grandmas

This property is as stated a very old home. Linens are dried on a clothes line so towels are not dryer soft. The home is well cared for inside and the beds were comfortable. Overall we had a pleasant stay with 4 adults 2 children even with no tv or internet.

A quaint house in a quaint town!

The house fit our needs perfectly. The four of us enjoyed the spacious main floor and each bedroom was more than adequate. The kitchen and dining room is fully furnished, just add food and go! We only had time to use the fire pit one night but it sure is a great feature. The hostess even supplies the wood. The home has many board games for relaxing. Each bathroom is fully stocked, so if you forget anything, you're all set. Thank you so much for the dessert you made for our arrival; what a thoughtful gesture. Would we stay again? YES!

Some things could be better, but this wasn't awful by any means!

The house was pleasant and quiet. Being an older house makes it difficult to get the house cool enough upstairs while not freezing out the down stairs. 2 things I would change. 1, the entry lock. The keypad entry is great, but not with the additional hassle of the 2nd knob, a keypad deadbolt would be better. 2, I would get rid of the throw rug in the kitchen. Tripped on this multiple times per day. Would be nice to have access to laundry. No TV was not a big deal. It would also be good if the upstairs bathroom had a shower. Overall, a nice older home. We stayed for three nights during Airventure. I would stay again, I would just bring a few things of my own to help out (more fans, and maybe a large modern nonstick skillet, cast iron is nice, but can be a pain too).

Excellent place to unwind and relax. Old home, but immaculately clean. Although there was a hiccup checking in, Mary promptly rectified the situation and was very attentive and communicative. Great for families and get-togethers where the focus is on getting together and bonding without tv and technology.
