I want to move in. We had 13 guys for a bachelor retreat and this place was perfect. Plenty of room for us all and plenty to do. We expected to spend plenty of time exploring Milwaukee, but found ourselves hanging out at the pool or fishing in the pond when we weren’t relaxing in the game room. 10/10 would recommend!

Very unique house nice to have the pool because it was so hot . Our grandchildren enjoyed the fishing and our dog had lots of place to walk. Had a great time thinking about staying there next summer if we get together again. Even the pool was very clean and the kids had fun fishing. Close to the main roads so the kids could drive back to Milwaukee for work . Very pleased with our choice of this beautiful place!

There were a lot of things to keep kids busy from the fishing pond and pool to the game room and yard activities. We stayed during some very hot weather so the upstairs and game room were rather warm, but there were several floor fans to help. Robert was very good about communication throughout the trip.

The house and property were great. There were six of us and we had plenty of room. We thrive outdoors and there was everything we could have wanted to do out there. There is a lot of traffic noise and airplanes, but you get used to it pretty quickly. You are within 20-30 minutes or so many fun things to do, as well!

Relaxing getaway

My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out, comfortable couches and beds, great hot tub and beautiful private property. My kids enjoyed the game room and we loved relaxing by the fire. It was also nice being able to have the dog along with us. The host was responsive and we had no issues. My kids have already asked to go back!

Great for groups

This place is a great venue for a family or friends gathering. For us not what we hoped for. We were looking for privacy and nature. Daily maintenance of property and pool required daily texts with owner who tried to be very considerate but still had a ton to do before opening for summer guests. Place is great for groups.

Great Weekend to celebrate graduation

Our family had a wonderful time to celebrate our grandaughter's graduation. Everyone fished, paddled around on the pond, played cards, relaxed in the hot tub, enjoyed an outdoor fire, let the dog run in the wonderful large yard, relaxed in swings... a great time. There is plenty of room in the house for people to be close together or have quiet time in a secluded corner. This couldn't have been a better spot for us.
