We were in town for a wedding and booked this home. It was perfect! Very clean and the home had lots of room. Just a short walk to town. Thank you for the use of your lovely home.
This is a beautiful older home in a great neighborhood. It’s very spacious and had everything we needed for a wonderful girls’ trip. The check out process was one of the easiest we have ever done. The house is very close to the quaint and fun downtown area, with shops, restaurants, and bars.
It’d been 19 years since we all got together last!! We had a great weekend hanging out and catching up. The Duerst House was just perfect! Plenty of beautiful and homey space to enjoy. It had everything we needed and was just a couple blocks from eating and shopping.
The house is huge with lots of character! We loved that it fit all seven of us comfortably. It was within walking distance to downtown New Glarus and the Sugar River Trail. The house had plenty of space to hang out in and there were lots of extra pillows and blankets. Thanks for a great space to spend the weekend, Jane!
Two families stayed at this lovely New Glarus home and had a memorable New Year celebration. The house was full of wonderful charm and impeccably clean. We were able to walk to the main downtown and close enough to drive to neighboring towns and attractions. Thanks for the stay!
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.
Just a few minute walk from downtown New Glarus and 40 minute drive to Madison, this was a great home base for our short stay. More than enough room to visit and a very well equipped kitchen. The house is in beautiful shape and would love to stay in the summer when we could take advantage of the porch and backyard..
We just had a girls weekend here - we had 11 ladies and had more than enough space to sleep & hang out. The house is adorable and so much fun to explore! Very spacious with plenty of seating for a large group.
A gorgeous home full of warmth, comfort and beauty. It was a treasure to explore with many surprises! It was completely furnished with everything any group could want or need. Strongly recommended as a place to stay. The host was very responsive and friendly.
This is such a beautiful place! It has all these great spaces for reading or studying or visiting
Really relaxing. Very nice I hope to come again someday.
This home was perfect for five childhood friends of 60 years getting together for a few days. There were so many sitting areas and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The home was clean and nicely decorated. Thank you!
We loved spending the night here - there are so many beds and spaces to explore! It was a little tight in the morning with only two bathrooms, but we made it work. We’ll DEFINITELY stay here again!
