Wonderful accommodations and nice people

The owners were very friendly and easy to work with. They put a great deal of effort into making clear instructions, including labeling wall switches for ease of use. Kitchen was well appointed and loads of room. Washer and dryer were bonuses for us as this was the last stop in our tour of WI. Would definitely stay here again.

Family Gathering

Excellent accommodations. Hosts do an excellent job ensuring the property is set up for their guests. We were in town for a family wedding and enjoyed the location as it was close to all the events. Stayed there last year as well for another family event. If you are looking for a location with smaller group, this would certainly fit the bill. Would definitely book again in the future when in the area.

So relaxing....

What a relaxing stay away from home. Clean, organized, lots of essentials for cooking, and cozy. My son and I stayed there and loved it! Barb had games such as Yahtzee, cards, corn hole to keep us occupied in between wrestling camp sessions. Highly recommend and if we are ever in the area again, this is where we are going to stay!

Better than a Hotell

House, hosts and yard are all beautiful!! Like new accommodations and all very comfortable. All our needs were met!! Very easy access. In town for our daughters wedding. While a hotel may have been closer, the peace and quiet helped reduce the stress of the busy weekend.
