Loved it. I will say if you stay in the summer the air will freeze out the basement bc of where the thermostat is on the main floor. I put the box fan at the bottom of the carpeted basement stairs and aimed it up the stairs, it kept things in the house much more tolerable. Otherwise it is an ice chest in the basement. I do recommend this place though.

This stay met all expectations! The rooms were comfortable, nice linens and beds, tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked, with a nice variety of coffe/tea supplies. Property is pet friendly with treats and poop bags, pooper scooper supplied. Nice layout: HUGE room downstairs for the grandkids, three large bedrooms upstairs for adults. Bathrooms had plenty of plush towels, including makeup towels. Every detail was checked. Very quiet area, right off the highway, easily accessible with outside outlet for EV charging. Communication w/hosts was easy and response was swift. We’ve already booked our next stay.

Wonderful

This was our 2nd rental in a year for a golf trip, the moment you enter it is obvious the attention to detail and comfort. Lisa has made this your home not just a rental. The beds are more comfortable than mine at home, will rent again if anywhere in the area. The house was the biggest consideration to return to the area, 5 * without a doubt.

Wisconsin Getaway

A great time in rural Wisconsin! A very nice home near the quaint town of Livingston. All the amenities as if you were coming to your own home! Nicely decorated and plenty of space, cups, silverware, housewares, grilling necessities, seating and beds! The host was easy to work with and answered all questions in a timely manner! Overall worth every penny!

Silver Birch Retreat had great space for our family ( 6 adullts and 3 grandkids) over the Thanksgiving holiday while we were visiting relatives in Montfort. The tri-level layout was spacious for gathering; the bedrooms on the upper and lower levels were away from the living area so provided a nice separation for those retiring early or sleeping later. The kitchen was impressively well stocked with coffee, tea, and even butter sticks in the frig! A welcome gift of specialty popcorn was a fun find. There was some outdoor play equipment that was enjoyed, helping to burn off a 5 year old's excess energy. Our host was very responsive. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend Silver Birch Retreat to any considering staying in this area.

A perfect place to stay!

The property was just as pictured, and the home was very clean and spacious. All beds were comfortable and plenty of linens were provided too. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The host was thoughtful and even provided charcoal to grill and wood for a campfire. The large yard was fun to run & play and ideal for an Easter egg hunt. The location is great with larger cities of Lancaster, Mineral Point, and Platteville each about 20 minutes away and local gas stations are close by for last minute wants. Lastly, the host was very kind, responsive, and welcoming. We definitely felt at home. Thank you!

The property was clean and relaxing. Everything that we required was provided. Bedding, towels, kitchen items and bbq items were all provided. Our time was relaxing and completely enjoyable. We had two families, 4 kids, the sleeping accommodations were great. Directions to the property from vrbo needs to be given plus the address. My car GPS did not take me to the property but the phone did. Other than that hiccup I recommend this property for a great place to relax
