This was our third stay at "the Chalet" where our family has gathered for a family reunion of sorts. This home has suited us well for cooking and entertaining our extended family for everything from coffee, to brunch to cookouts. The yard has been used for everything from 15 person giant frisbee to wine and cheese on blankets in the shade. Went to sleep with the sound of frogs from the pond and was awakened by a cacophony of bird song. Quiet, peaceful and roomy.

Thank you so much for sharing your house with us! The house is very spacious and cozy, it fit our 3 families perfectly. The kitchen is well stocked and a dining table by the fireplace is big enough to gather around after a day of skiing. One of the highlights was a beautiful view from the great room - we enjoyed sitting by the sunlit windows there in the mornings.

Family reunion

Loved the place as soon as we pulled into the driveway. The grounds were gorgeous and watching the wildlife play in the yard was an added bonus. We played games and did crafts with our grandchildren and just reconnected with them. Highly recommend this lovely place.

Fun Ski Weekend!

We recently stayed at Spectacular Garden Chalet for a weekend ski trip and had a fantastic time. The chalet was exactly as described: clean, and well-equipped. The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals after a long day on the slopes, and the living room was spacious enough for our group to relax and unwind by the fire. The basement offered a fun foosball table as well! Thank you for hosting us!

We had a wonderful time staying in this really lovely house. The yard and property surrounding the house are exceptionally well maintained and beautiful. Everything was as promised on the website description, and we especially appreciated the well-appointed kitchen. We had everything we needed for a short family get-away to see the Wisconsin fall colors. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to other travelers.

Family Friendly Gathering

This was a great property! Everything was sparkling clean. Plenty of space to spread out with a family gathering. Toys and family friendly spaces for children. Just a bit out of town, but we’ll worth the extra 5-8 minutes. Beautiful scenery, quiet and private. Doris was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay!
