Fun and family friendly
We enjoyed our stay very much! There was plenty to do for all ages. The home was warm and well lit upon arriving late at night. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood seemed safe. My only complaint is that it smells like pets ( which is under standable as it's a pet-friendly location) Bars and a little market all close by. We will be staying here again!

Annual Friends Christmas Getaway - Dec 2023
The house has the potential to be perfect for this type of wknd. Great location, nice bedrooms/bathrooms, clean, could have been a fun house. However, the badement entertainment area was missing a few key things. there were no darts for dart board and no golf clubs for the putting green. Not sure why you’d have either if you can’t use them. On Saturday mornkng, I could not get the heat to turn on. A 60 degree house in Wisconin in winter, is unacceptable. I know things happen, but when i reached out to the contact # provided, I got an automated response and was told they would call me when someone local could come and check on it. I NEVER received a call. When i reached out again on Sun, the reaponse I received was it may take time to warm the whole house. Needless to say, for that reason alone, I won’t be renting this house again. Definitely not happy that I spent money to stay in a cold house all weekend What a waste!!!
