This was a great place to stay for 2 families. Excellent location near the utv trails as well as only a hour away from The Dells. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and booked for next year.
Super layout with lots of different spaces for various family activities. Very well stocked with everything we needed for both inside and outside. Our family had a wonderful stay.
My family and I absolutely loved our stay. Very welcoming and cozy with plenty of room for a family of 7! Cooking Thanksgiving dinner was amazing with the large kitchen. Kids were entertained with the game room and board games which was crucial since the weather was not the best. Only regret was we were not able to stay longer.
We had a fantastic stay here! It is a great location, spacious, clean, and well stocked. Great outdoor space as well. Couldn’t ask for anything more for my family and I!
Our family has greatly enjoyed staying here the last two years for a pre-Christmas gathering. The layout and decor of the home is perfect for winter coziness. The game room can’t be beat.
This is our second time staying at this home. We have an annual UTV trip and this house has it all! Great location close to the trails and the house is equipped with everything you need! Highly recommend staying here!
We love this location! You are right in the heart of town, but it's still so quiet that you feel like it's the middle of nowhere. House is amazing with plenty of indoor and outdoor space.Hubby informed me we forgot a bunch of drinks in the garage fridge - enjoy!!
This was our second time staying here. This property has such a cozy, cabin feeling! We loved celebrating our holiday here. Very clean and nicely decorated. The game room is a nice plus! We hope to be back again!
Had a great week, weather was beautiful, the house was very nice, clean and the owners were great to work with. very nice area and the trails were great. would highly recommend.
We were totally happy with everything about our stay.
Maybe could use a lamp in the back bedroom, otherwise it’s just a bright light.
Place is better than we expected!!
We will be staying again!!
Hopefully I can stay with my grandkids next year!!
This house is exactly as advertised - really nice place with lots to do inside and nearby. We had a great time. The owners made everything very easy and answered all of our questions. We would definitely come back.
We had an awesome time off-roading. This home is beautiful and amazing to place to stay. Shay & Sarah were wonderful hosts and were quick to respond if we had a question. We will definitely be back! Thank you 😊
