Awesome Accommodations

This is a beautiful home that was perfect for our book club 25th anniversary trip. There were six of us and there were plenty of bedrooms, beds and seating areas for all of us to enjoy spending a couple days together. We enjoyed the shops and restaurants of New Glarus and ventured to other small towns in the area. We would definitely stay here again.
