We had a great girl’s weekend here. Everything we needed and very comfortable. My elderly mom uses a walker and was able to get around perfectly. Host was very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful stay at this property. The home has many amenities. It was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. Richard was always available and gave us of all the information we needed to make our stay comfortable.
Had an absolutely amazing stay! Beautiful home and wonderful host!! Very peaceful and relaxing place to stay but not far from places to visit. Will definitely stay again if we can get back sometime soon!!

Thank you for your kind words!
Awesome, pleasant guests who would be welcome back anytime!!
No complaints from our group. We had everything we needed. It was a great place for us to regroup, cook meals and clean up after long days at a local cattle show. Beautiful home and host was accommodating to any of our needs/requests. Would stay here again!
Our family traveled to the area to watch our college son play baseball, and this was a perfect home base. The home was spotless and comfortable, and the host was gracious and hospitable. We really enjoyed the quiet setting, and watching the birds in the trees and feeders. We would 100% stay here again!
Rick was one of the kindest and overall best hosts we’ve ever experienced on any platform with rentals. Incredibly responsive in communication and with information about things ‘to do’ around the area, we couldn’t have asked for a better host experience. The cabin was perfect for us. Quiet, off the beaten path, but close to restaurants and other experiences. Definitely a wonderful experience and retreat. Even though it was cold out, plenty of wildlife made their presence known as well. Would be delighted to stay once again in the future!
A quick trip for us to see our two nephews graduate. Beautiful property! Nice location between Johnson Creek and Watertown. So much better than a stuffy small hotel room! Highly recommend this property for a peaceful vacation!

Thank you very much for your kind words; it was a pleasure hosting you and your family. I really appreciate your review.
In a single word....Perfect!!!
We drove up from Ohio and rented the log home for 5 nights as a "base of operation" to attend a family reunion in Oconomowoc, WI. The house was clean, roomy, beautiful, and affordable (compared to what we would have experienced in a hotel). The host was great!
Rick was great host! Property surrounded by the Wisconsin cornfields meaning very quiet and beautiful property. But also short drives to small towns as well as Madison and Milwaukee. Perfect spot for our 3-state golf swing - Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa. Thanks Rick!

Brian and his friends were wonderful to have as guests! I sincerely hope they'll be back!!!😁😁
First time staying in a lived in Vrbo, kind of strange to me. I will inquire before I book in the future. That being said property was beautiful, host communicated well.

To clarify, for those reading this review, Lori's comment makes it sound like I live here when I have guests, which is NOT the case. I move out and the guests have full run of the house (except my office and basement storage). Lori was a great guest, but her comment needed clarification since I'm getting calls asking why I live here while I have guests.
Thank you!
