This really is a lovely place located in the rolling Wisconsin woods. The house was immaculate and very well thought out. Any communication with the owners was replied to promptly and cheerfully. We had stayed there as part of attending a concert at Treasure Island and the entire experience was well worth the trip. Our only regret is that we could not have stayed longer…
