I am so very sorry that you did not feel like it was cleaned to your standards. I was on another job in Florida and was not here myself to clean, but my husband said don’t worry I’ll clean it for you you and I said well as long as you do it to my standards but now I know so once again, I apologize this was a last-minute family emergency that made me Have to leave and go out of state and not be around to do it myself.

Amazing weekend

This was an awesome stay for the weekend in February! The host (Dana) was great. It's more spacious in real life than in the pictures! Comfy mattress and a cozy room.

The apartment was spotless and well equipped. The location was fabulous with two separate docks and access to two lakes. Dana, the host, was a hoot; extremely personal, funny and gracious. My friend from Peru said it was the most relaxed he has been in months. We both highly recommend this property.

Cozy getaway

We were in the area for a funeral and to visit with friends. We didn't really have much opportunity to spend at the rental. Everything was cozy and clean, Dana was so friendly and willing to make our stay enjoyable. Such a beautiful place!

Had an amazing 4th in Barnes

My husband and I were in Barnes for a friend’s birthday on 4th of July weekend, found Dana and Greg’s place, and loved it. They are so friendly and wonderfully accommodating. Plus Sophie is the best doggie greeter in Wisconsin. Thank you for the amazing fire pit and great tour of the lake!! You guys are the best. See you soon.

Great place on the lake

My husband and I enjoyed a few days in Dana's comfy place. It is on the bottom floor and walks right out to an amazing lawn and water on all sides. We loved being out in the quiet, our dog especially enjoyed splashing and playing with Dana's dog Sophie. Will be back
