I cannot say enough great things about both the property and the property owners. If you want a comfortable family-friendly home, this is your spot.
Owners:
The property owner that I was in contact with, Nate, was an excellent communicator and very attentive. I asked numerous Qs before arriving about all the various elements of the property and the surrounding area, and he responded very quickly and with great detail! I felt welcome even before I stepped foot on the property.
Once we did step in the door, the hospitality continued. The owners provided an adorable welcome basket filled with local treats and wine, as well as a welcome guide that gave recommendations for local attractions- which we used.
Home:
The house is absolutely gorgeous. We had multiple children under the age of 8, and sometimes rental homes can be difficult to accommodate for kids of different ages. This house had it all: playhouse (with toys!), sandpit, basketball hoop, big yard, tree swing, garden, fire pit for s’mores, hot tub, and multiple TVs for movies. My mom also rocked my 1 year old daughter to sleep out on the front porch swing. When the kiddos went to sleep, we had glasses of wine on the deck, then played some darts and lawn games. We had a blast, and there were activities and games for everyone.
There’s also a grill on the deck with plenty of outdoor deck furniture to relax for a big family. We grilled out multiple nights!
I also want to give a shout out to how beautifully decorated the home is. The log cabin, wilderness vibe throughout every room really adds to the overall experience if you are escaping from a more suburb/city lifestyle as my family was. The home has lots of blankets and pillows to make you feel comfortable, and it’s stocked with all the kitchen utensils you need for a family.
Property location:
This house is also located in a beautiful, convenient spot right along hiking trails on the Kettle Moraine State Park. We went out walking every day, and really enjoyed the trail closest to the house along the road the driveway is located, as it’s very easy with strollers and young kids.
We also spent a day at Palmyra Beach, only 10 mins away! Adorable swimming spot with a playground and picnic tables.
Our family had a fantastic time- on the last day, the kids were already asking when we can come back! We will definitely book this rental again! :)
