Relaxing fall vacation

Our family enjoyed our stay on the private 5 acres, spending time making s'mores over a campfire, basketball, playing board games and a couple movie nights inside, and enjoyed the nearby hiking opportunities, especially the Big Hill Park down the road with trails to the Pentenwell Bluff. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware. The place was well furnished, nicely decorated, and overall we enjoyed our stay very much, and may look to return again in the future.

Quiet, secluded, peaceful and like new!

This "cabin" in the woods is perfect to get away from it all or access tourists attractions like the Dells in under an hour. Nearby fishing and nature trails make this a great getaway. The home is in perfect condition with nearly every imaginable amenity and then some (Foosball table, collections of movies and video games as well as board games). The only thing missing were top sheets on the beds upstairs.

Wonderful

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this property. It was extremely clean and well-maintained. The house provides privacy on a large, wooded lot just 5 minutes from Necedah. The main space (kitchen/dining counter/dining room/living room) has a high ceiling and tall windows, which provide plenty of light and an open feel. The decor is simple and tasteful. And the loft upstairs provides a great opportunity for kids to sleep and play with a little separation from the adults. My wife and I highly recommend it.

Absolutely Perfect!

This home is fantastic in every way. It's new, it's clean, and it's in a beautiful wooded property. I stayed there with 4 friends to do some ice fishing. There is not one thing that we could not give a 5 star rating. Appliances, dishes, cookware, bedding, linens, furnishings were all top of the line. I was impressed to see that there is a large library of dvd's, a foosball table, as well as other games, puzzles, and toys for kids. This is a great place to stay!

Clean and well appointed.

I along with 8 other women rented this cabin for Cranfest weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This cabin is VERY clean. The owner was very helpful and communication was prompt. The cabin is stocked with anything you would need for an extended stay. The owner even had added extras that were thoughtful and appreciated. There were no complaints about the comforts of the beds and our group age range was late 20's to 60's. We enjoyed a fire each night and then lounging and hanging out in the open concept kitchen and living area. I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to stay in this area.

excellent!!

This is a beautiful property! It is very private, and everything the pictures show and more. We arrived Friday and the property was ready, clean , and in fabulous shape. FYI, bring bug spray. Everything was ready, from the grill that was great, the firewood for the fire pit, and a wonderful kitchen that was stocked with all of the tools needed. There is more than enough room to have the family sprawl out and enjoy. The speakers on the outside of the property made it nice to listen while we cooked and even better with the bonfire at night. This a well managed property too! They had great follow up on all of the emails, good instructions on departure requirements, and just made the experience all the better. Thank you again!

Everything you need and then some

This property more than exceeded our expectations. We arrived a few minutes earlier than anticipated and though we werent able to quite check in yet, we enjoyed the beautiful outdoor area. There was plenty of room to park two vehicles and a boat. The home itself was very clean and provided all the amenities needed for a great weekend trip. The kitchen is well stocked and even has several items that are helpful, such as a crockpot, keurig, and regular coffee pot. The outdoor grill was also a great perk. There was more than enough towels to go aroound for our crew of 7. We enjoyed the Juneau County beach, which was a quick 20 minute drive, as well as utilizing our boat on the lake. The weather was not the best for us Saturday evening into Monday however the Foosball table, ping pong table, and the endless number of board games helped to keep three teenagers and two pre-teens busy and occupied. Overall a fantastic trip, we would love to come back again.
