Super clean and easy to get to. Great parking. Quiet. Multiple kitchens and plenty of bedrooms for some seclusion. Everything worked fine (even 3,000 video game box).

Our group of 25 spent our family Thanksgiving at this property. The surrounding area was beautiful and it accommodated our sleeping needs. From our group, the top complaint was that the main living room needed more lighting and because of that, we couldn't utilize that area for many activities.

It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we hope to welcome you back again!
Great setting house surrounded by pines, beautiful rustic house plenty of room for a large group four bathroom would have been nice with one more on main floor. Very clean loved all the walk out porches on all levels of the house. Very dog friendly on a dead end road.

Celebrated a wonderful Christmas with Family at Eagle Bluff Estates. 24 family members enjoyed the spacious acommodations with plenty of room to spare. We also had a birthday party for my father who turned 94 years old. Two separate living spaces allowed for additional space and and an area for those who were early to bed and early to rise. Rustic charm and cleanliness throughout. The home had everything you needed to enjoy your stay. I would highly reccomend Eagle Bluff Estates.

Was very grateful to find this place! I had a different place booked for months, but it received storm damage and they had to cancel it. I was able to find this place within 36 hours of over 13 people attending from all over the Midwest and Texas. Overall, we had a very good stay. Communication with the owner was great. It fit a group of people with plenty of space. Only thing I guess wasn't clear up front, but it could have been my fault, because we booked so quickly with the new property. Dogs are welcome, but you have to pay a fee per dog. Not a deposit that you get back. Just an FYI. Still had a great time! Beautiful view of the stars and super close to a lake/beach front! Maybe a 3

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review and for trusting Eagle Bluff Estate on such short notice—glad the home fit your 13-person group comfortably and that communication was smooth. Sorry for any confusion about the pet fee. We do charge a per-dog fee (not a refundable deposit) to cover extra cleaning and wear, but we’ll make that policy more prominent in the listing and pre-arrival messages. Happy you enjoyed the starry nights and quick access to the lake/beach. We’d love to host you again any time!
Chris was a great host! He was very accommodating to our requests for my mom’s 80th birthday. Check-in instructions were clear and helpful. The house was clean and well appointed and fully stocked. We had a small maintenance issue which was addressed quickly. The on-site contact person was very sweet and helpful! We could not have asked for a better visit. The space is ideal for multiple families with plenty of space to be together and to spread out. Overall a wonderful place; we would definitely stay here again easily!

I have been going outdoors for Memorial Day for that past 11 years and have stayed at various cabins throughout the years. Eagle Bluff was fantastic, would count it amongst the top. Very well maintained, lots of room, lots of amenities. The cabin has several patios and plenty of seating. Loved the outdoor firepit. Very close to the Black Rock Lake and the Wisconsin river. It is walkable distance. Half an hour away from Wisconsin Dells for an afternoon walk and ice cream. Would recommend visiting the Dirty Turtle and take a hike at Chapel Gorge Trail by Wisconsin Dells.

Family of about 18 spent 4 nights in July! Plenty of room, lots to do and everyone wants to go back next year. Beach is 1.5 miles away. We rented a pontoon, 2 waverunners and a kayak from Shipwreck Bay. Had a campfire at the house every night. Mosquitoes were terrible but we survived. The house is huge and comfortably fit us all. However, the most important comment is that Matt the host and owner was always available and responded promptly. The kids didnt have much luck fishing but they still had fun. GREAT FAMILY vacay!!!! Thanks Matt!!!

Decent place...
Stayed with a group of about 20. Not many lamps, so it was pretty dark. Found one of the light bulbs broken and another had an electrical socket with only one plug and the other was broken off. Place was not well stocked for 20 people (shortage of cups, dish washing solution, garbage bags) so we had to buy some of that on our own.There was also a funky smell to the garage/converted to house. Two of the TVs did not work as well.Owner was quick to respond but very pushy on adding more days to what was already a costly stay.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We truly value your feedback, as it helps us improve for future guests.
We're sorry to hear that the lighting and stocking fell short of your expectations. We strive to provide a comfortable and well-equipped space, and we’ll ensure these issues are addressed, including replacing broken bulbs and checking electrical outlets. We'll also review our inventory to better accommodate larger groups like yours.
Regarding the TVs and the garage smell, we apologize for any inconvenience caused. We’re working on resolving these issues promptly. Lastly, we regret if our communication about additional days came across as pushy—that was not our intention, and we appreciate your understanding.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope you’ll give us another chance in the future to provide a better experience.
Property attendants were very responsive with issues and questions. The mosquitoes were terrible. The pond in the front was stagnant which caused a mosquito hatching ground. The amount of space was amazing. We had infants- grandparents and everyone was able to have their own space and find activities provided by rental. We always make dinner at our landing spot on our bonding trips. The amount of fridge space was great. Along with the cooking space options. The pool table and game room were hits with kids. The yard space in back gave the kids the opportunity to play outside while we were there, but the mosquitos limited the use.If the mosquitos were so awful the fire pit would had been great. We tried twice having a fire, but the mosquitos were just too much. Bug spray didn't help. Most days when we pulled in we were fortunate to see wildlife! One day 2 turkeys were laying in the road and a little fawn was sniffing them out. So cool! For being so far out, the internet worked great! They also had a good selection of movies for the littles.

Hi Leslie,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that your group—from infants to grandparents—had plenty of space to relax and enjoy the home. It’s great to know the game room, pool table, kitchen space, and movie selection helped make your stay more enjoyable, and we’re especially glad you got to experience some of the local wildlife—what a special moment!
We truly appreciate your feedback about the mosquitoes. Being in a wooded, natural setting does unfortunately come with some seasonal challenges, and we’re currently exploring options to treat the pond and better manage mosquito activity for future guests. We know how much memories are made around the fire pit, and we’re sorry the bugs kept that from being part of your experience.
Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing both the highlights and opportunities to improve. We’d love the chance to host you again under better conditions next time!
Sincerely,
Matt

About the host

We’re a family who believes in hard work, community, and making lasting memories. I own an automotive repair shop, and before that I taught high school band. My wife continues to inspire young musicians as a middle school band director, and our kids are active in sports and music—keeping us on our toes, but also reminding us daily about the importance of balance and joy.
Even with our busy lives, we always make time for family, friends, and giving back. Volunteering and community involvement are central to who we are, and we carry that same spirit into hosting. We love helping people feel welcome, cared for, and set up for success in whatever they’re doing—whether it’s enjoying a family vacation or relaxing after a day of adventure.
To ensure the best possible guest experience, we’ve partnered with My Favorite Home Away From Home Property Management, a professional team that helps us provide seamless stays with excellent service. With their support, you’ll have the peace of mind of local expertise and reliable communication, while still enjoying the personal touches of a family-run getaway.
Why they chose this property
Our family absolutely loves going to the Wisconsin Dells. We love the water parks and arcades and recently we went and played airsoft. That was a blast. There is so much to do and the people are very friendly. Eagle Bluff Estate is unique in that it is so close to Castle Rock Lake and has some great on-the-water restaurants. We really love relaxing in the area and at the house.
What makes this property unique
Eagle Bluff Estate – A Grand Northwoods Retreat
Eagle Bluff Estate is a property with a story. The original owner built the home using logs harvested directly from the land itself, giving the estate a deep connection to its surroundings. That craftsmanship laid the foundation for a lodge that blends authentic log construction with thoughtful updates, making it both timeless and inviting. Inside, the cabin transitions into a brighter, more modern design, complete with a pool table, dart board, and open spaces that encourage gathering and fun.
One of the home’s highlights is the wood-burning fireplace in the living room—a place where our family loves to settle in, watch a movie, and simply enjoy the warmth and glow of a true cabin experience. Whether you’re competing in a game of pool, enjoying a lively family dinner, or relaxing by the fire, Eagle Bluff Estate offers the perfect backdrop for both adventure and rest.
What truly makes this estate stand out is its size and flexibility. With accommodations for 25+ guests, plus ample room for additional air mattresses, it’s designed for large family gatherings, reunions, or group getaways. From immediate family to extended relatives and friends, there’s space here for everyone to come together under one roof—something rare and special.
More than a vacation rental, Eagle Bluff Estate is a place where traditions can be created, memories shared, and families celebrated. Once you experience it, you’ll understand why we knew it was the perfect retreat—and why we believe your family will feel the same way.
