Very clean, cozy. Great amenities.Great location for us going to Devils Head ski.Walking distance to the local pub, which we loved. We met the locals, who are so friendly and entertaining.Perfect.
Very nice property! The house was very clean, well maintained, the linens, towels were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed as well. We enjoyed the deck and grilling out. The location was perfect for us to go to The Merry Mac campground to visit family and to go to Wisconsin Dells. We enjoyed our stay!
Property was precisely as advertised. Clean. Excellent location near the ferry landing. Comfortable bed. Wi Fi was a little weak, but everything else was well done.
Very quaint town of Merrimac, and the home is situated very near the Merrimac Ferry. We came to this area for the many hiking trails and beautiful views, let alone beautiful Lake Wisconsin. We were definitely not disappointed! The home is immaculate and newly remodeled with a huge deck in perfect view of the lake and awesome sunrises. Definitely a place we will come back to visit!
It's a beautiful, clean rental. We had family the area and the ferry made it very convenient to join in the fun. We will definitely be back for next year's event
We have been to many rental properties. This by far was the cleanest we have ever been to. The space was comfortable and simple to make it feel cozy. Location made it convenient to all the attraction around. We would definitely stay again!
So nice, clean, and comfortable! Perfect for a home spot during a weekend of touring the area. Easy check-in, check-out, everything we needed! We ate at the Varsity Club and Candy's and enjoyed both. Sadly, the ferry was not running this AM when we hoped to check that out, but we will be back for sure.
Perfect house for our weekend ski trip to Devils Head. Check in was easy, had to call Justin cuz we messed up the door lock process, he was great. 5 minutes to the slopes, super clean and had everything we needed, plus a great view! We will definitely be coming back!!!
Great experience!We spent the weekend with SIL and her husband golfing and biking the Great Sauk State Trail. We were very impressed with the layout, cleanliness and amenities at the house. Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast and evening cocktails on the deck, even got to watch a Little League game across the street! The neighborhood was quiet with little road noise. Highly recommend!!!
Perfect home base for a two-family vacay. Four teenage boys and two moms and we never felt crowded. Easy drive to the Dells, Devil’s Lake, and Baraboo. Beautiful views of Lake WI from the deck and a quick walk to fishing at Memorial park and ice cream at the ferry crossing. The house was very clean, stocked with basics, and communication with the owner was so easy. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the kind review. We would welcome you back anytime!
Everything about this house was perfect! My fiance and I along with our kids had the best family getaway ever. The house is in a perfect location with everything you need for a great time no more than 20 mins away. My fiancee loved it so much she wants to return for our honeymoon minus the kids so we can really enjoy the lake and everything the community has to offer. I will definitely be returning for a second stay! 10 stars!
We stayed there for 2 nights with our 2 kids and it was perfect. They got to share a queen sized bed and the beds were pretty comfortable! The owner let us know before checking in that there was an issue with the furnace and it was fixed very quickly before we even got there! It was so clean and well maintained. The neighborhood was quiet. The road its on seemed alittle busy, but you'd never notice it or hear it from inside the house. We will definitely be renting it again in the future!
We enjoyed our stay at the property. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and close location to Devil’s head made for a perfect family ski vacation ! We would definitely stay here again !
Wonderful place to stay for visiting Devil's Lake and a the great nearby things. Right near the car ferry to cross Lake Wisconsin! Owner was quick to respond, the place was immaculate and very comfortable. We were sad to leave today!
Everything was very well communicated, beautiful property with everything we needed. You can tell everything is new and we enjoyed reading the list of activities. We took the Ferry over to hike the rock and had a wonderful time. Views are so beautiful. Would for sure come here again to do more hikes. Thank you for the beautiful property!!
New and clean, comfy beds, great location, quiet, can see the lake, which was nice. Not a big deal, but adding dishrags (rather than sponge) would be great, as well as am ottoman for the big, comfy chair.
