About the host
Hosted by Gregg McArthur.
My name is Gregg McArthur and I am the President of McArthur Towel and Sports out of Baraboo Wisconsin,
The property on English Lake has been in our family since 1972 and after debate we decided to demolish the old family cabin and build our new custom log home. We enjoy sharing the property with responsible indviduals and families that enjoy a backwoods retreat.
We personally enjoy Snowmobiling , ATV rides, hunting, fishing and regular trips out to the many northwoods establishments in the area. Great people and great fun.
We look forward to hearing from you and don't forget to sign the guest book before you leave.
