We had a great experience at this wonderful home. Everything was well prepared for us and communication with the host was seamless. The private lake with kayaks, a canoe, and SUPs was definitely the highlight for us and we spent multiple hours each day out enjoying the water. The air conditioned game barn was also a nice touch and great for the evenings when the baby was in bed and the adults could still be loud without worrying about waking him up. Although the house is expensive to rent, with everything that is included that you would have to pay for otherwise, it easily makes up the difference. We would happily stay again!

The property is breathtaking! Our family had a wonderful long weekend. The two year old loved the playground and "fishing" from the beach using a stick :-) We played a little in the game barn which was a great indoor space to get out of the rain one evening. We were surprised to find one of the bedrooms is an open loft but it was not an issue with our 20 something staying up there. We did not use the water toys but there were kayaks, paddle boards and a canoe with lots of life jackets. Jeremy is a wonderful host and has thought of everything. Definitely recommend!!

We enjoyed a girls trip at this beautiful cabin. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. The property itself was so beautiful. Large lake to look at from the house; lots of outdoor seating; plenty of spaces to walk and meander. We never utilized the game barn, but it's there if you want it, as well as lots of kayaks and a hot tub. The cabin itself was very nice. Kitchen was well stocked; nice sun room off of the living area for a more "nature" feel; the bedrooms were great and beds were very comfortable. The host was the quickest at replying to inquiries of any host I've ever experienced in a rental. Very helpful with even the smallest question. I highly recommend this property if you are looking for a place to stay in Brown County!

Very clean and cozy! We would love to stay here again and highly recommend it to others. Due to the large amount of snow, the drive near the house could have been cleared off more to allow for better parking with several cars but that has in no way made our review turn negative. Communication was great, we felt safe, and we had a great time!
We saw several birds, deer and a coyote.

We loved our stay at this cabin on its own little lake. The boats were the highlight for us and well as the beauty of nature all around us. Was a perfect family vacation.

A true get-away. Beautifully peaceful except for the squeals from the kids trying kayaking and fishing for the first time and crickets and frogs at night. It's a definite repeat vacation!
