We had a wonderful stay at this home for our family celebration weekend. It was a great setup for bringing our family together, with multiple spaces to gather while still feeling connected.The layout worked especially well for a large group, and having a private bathroom for each bedroom was a huge convenience. The large dining table gave us plenty of room to enjoy family meals together, while the garage clubhouse—with a pool table, ping pong, and foosball—provided entertainment for guests of all ages.We also loved the large yard and beautiful lake view. It was a lovely place to relax, spend time together, and enjoy the surroundings throughout the family festivities.Overall, the house gave our family plenty of room to gather, relax, and make memories during an especially meaningful weekend. We would definitely recommend it for family gatherings or special events.

Very clean and well-kept house. You won’t believe how quiet and peaceful the place is until you experience it in person. The full-size basketball and volleyball courts were a great bonus, and we really enjoyed them. The firepit by the lake made the evenings even better. I never thought much about Johnsburg before, but honestly, I liked this place even more than Lake Geneva. Brian is a great host, very accommodative .

Nice property that worked well for us, so we were satisfied although not enthralled. Property was clean but not well maintained. AC in one area did not work correctly and one of the large refrigerators took two days to finally reach proper cool temperature after we filled it with room temperature items. Lack of ramp access made things difficult for our wheelchair family members. Host was extremely cooperative and did what he could for us. Labor day price was high but that was to be expected. Lake access for swimming was not good for anyone over 30. Too slippery and pebbly for most of us. Toilet paper was awful so it would be wise to bring your own.

The Johnsburg Estate is a great place for a larger group to hang out. The home has a lovely area to gather all together, as well as many nooks and rooms for individuals to get some down time. The home comes equipped with all you need for a great time away, and the hot tub and lake views were amazing for winter! The owner is super responsive and was very helpful to us!

The host responded quickly to any questions we had. The house definitely let our family spread out for a birthday weekend celebration. Kitchen amenities were abundant and plenty of seating for meals and games. Hot tub warmed us up during the cold three night stay. Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy all the outside amenities.

We rented this home for our kids’ prom weekend, and it could not have been more perfect. The house had absolutely everything we needed for the kids to have an amazing and memorable time. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out, relax, and enjoy the weekend, and the property was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described.The amenities were fantastic and kept everyone entertained all weekend long. The kids especially loved the kayaks, foosball table, pool table, and ping pong table. It truly felt like there was something for everyone.The owner was incredibly responsive, helpful, and wonderful to work with from start to finish. Any questions we had were answered right away, which made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.We truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the home and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and well-equipped place for a group getaway or special occasion.

We had a group of 12 guys for our annual guys trip. We had such a good time, and it was such an awesome property. There are multiple wings of the house and also a separated bunk room so there was plenty of room and everyone was able to have a good level of privacy. Just a huge property with so much to do and wish we had more time to get to it all!

Great place for a large family

This place is great for a large, multi-generational family weekend. Tons of space. Lots of bathrooms! Outdoor fun with the lake, pier, volleyball court, basketball/pickleball court, firepit & hot tub. Games in the garage too-pool, pingpong, etc. Nice accomodations & great location.

Awesome reunion lakeside compound

Clean, fully equipped with sporting/recreational stuff, loads of bedrooms and bathrooms. The only real negative is that almost all the bathrooms are attached to bedrooms. Pickle ball, basketball, cornhole, volleyball, pool table, kayaks, all great. Perfect for a large group.
