About this property

A Brown County Family Retreat, Luxurious & Private

Surrounded by eleven acres of serene woodlands and tranquil pond, your peaceful paradise awaits. Ground-level entry with keypad check-in makes it easy to unpack and start enjoying everything 4 Paws Getaway has to offer.
You’ll love the open-concept living area with a six-person dining area and kitchen fully equipped with modern stainless steel appliances, A large, marble-topped island centers the space.
The kitchen spills out into an open living room with large windows framing a forest of oak, beech, and maples. Comfortable sofas and chairs (doggie beds, included!) provide the perfect setting for conversation, a good book, or a catnap. Just outside is a deck with a grill and generous space for a barbeque.
Three spacious bedrooms are found on the south side of the home. Two with queen-size beds, flat screen TVs, closet space, and views of the forest. Down the hall, past their shared bathroom and linen closet is the master suite. A king-size bed, reading nook, and huge walk-in closet set it apart, along with an EnSite bathroom with tub, his-and-her sinks, and fantastic lighting!
Downstairs is another large social space – the entertainment room. Enjoy perfect movie nights or game nights with the extra long wraparound sofa, 65” TV, Nintendo, XBox, pool table, card table, and the best board games to choose from. Two French doors open onto the covered patio where you can relax in the hot tub taking in the peaceful environment. Another bathroom with a shower is just a few steps away.
While “staying in” might be tempting, you’ll be just 8 minutes to Brown County State Park, where you can explore 16,000 acres of trails, forests, and lakes. You’re also just 10 minutes to downtown, bursting with galleries, breweries, shops and restaurants.
Where you and your loved ones make your memories is up to you.

Luxury Amenities

Every detail has been considered to ensure you and your guests are over-the-moon during your stay. With new fixtures, new flooring, new paint, stone accents and unique and fun decor throughout, you’ll love every bit of this space.

Each bedroom is private, cozy, yet spacious with large windows that show off the woodlands and little details that make life easier, like USB lamps by each bed for easy charging and Roku TVs.

The six-person hot tub is a true treat, and we make sure comfort is key, with plenty of towels, bathrobes, and even a portable Bluetooth speaker you can use for music.

The remodeled kitchen is fully stocked and offers the most up-to-date amenities to make every meal fun and hassle-free. A deep double sink, new dishwasher, gas range and oven, electric kettle, microwave, and french door refrigerator accompany all the cookware a chef would need, along with a few special touches, like a cappuccino maker and a KitchenAid mixer.

Wi-fi is dependable, there’s plenty of parking, and the home is fitted with a modern washer and dryer. And for those who are bringing their four-legged friends, you’ll love all the thoughtful details that will make your life as a pet owner that much easier, like dog toys, bowls, beds and a place for their stuff, too.

**All pets must be pre-approved. Fee is $100 PER pet with a 2 pet limit.

Eclipses All Others!
To say we were pleased with our stay at this rental during eclipse weekend would not do justice to the effort that Marisa and her team put into making their guests feel welcome and comfortable. It is obvious from the moment you enter the house that you are in the hands of someone who cares about what they do and will go the extra mile to make your visit special. The house is clean, well-appointed, and lives up to its listing description. We brought our two dogs and, even though we are dog lovers, we appreciate a home that doesn’t have an overwhelming look and smell of dogs and this property does not. (Not at all in our opinion). The neighborhood is relatively quiet, and the property is somewhat secluded (mainly at the back of the house). It is very relaxing and peaceful. It is a short drive to the town. The communication from Marisa and Brett was stellar from throughout the entire process. We really couldn’t have written a script for a better rental experience thanks to the care and thoughtfulness of Marisa and Team.

Peaceful, Spacious and Thoughtful
We have stayed in several VRBO rentals over the years and this one tops the list in terms of the managers thoughtfulness. While it doesn’t have huge walk in showers (nor does it claim to), it DOES have plenty of bath towels. It also had PLENTY of toilet paper. It was impeccably appointed as if you were entertaining family. Board games, phone chargers, sound machine by the beds, coffee, even spices in the kitchen. While these may all seem like little things, they can be uncommon when renting a place. We have been in newly built, very impressive and massive homes that don’t even have one bath towel for each of the bathrooms. Not to mention only a partial roll of toilet paper in each of the bathrooms. I feel like the way people do anything is the way they do everything. EVERYTHING here seems like these people care. We look forward to coming back. All this said, they do need to work on the exterior door deadbolt that leads to the hot tub. It has issues. Also the kitchen faucet needs attention, too.
