Great place to stay

The house is huge with lots of character! We loved that it fit all seven of us comfortably. It was within walking distance to downtown New Glarus and the Sugar River Trail. The house had plenty of space to hang out in and there were lots of extra pillows and blankets. Thanks for a great space to spend the weekend, Jane!
