This was a perfect fit for our group of 7 people! The property was well maintained and clean. We had enough space to spread out and "party" as much as 50 & 60 year olds do. The kitchen layout works well for shared meals and many games played on the dining room table. The front deck is perfect for napping in Spring Sunshine.The "Amish Walmart" was a fun adventure and we found quite a few good deals. Something to check out if in the area.We will hopefully be back again next spring for our annual get together. Thank you for your hospitality!!!
Our family which reside in the Milwaukee, and Minneapolis areas annually rent a house somewhere in between to enjoy the Christmas holiday. We chose the residence in the Wilton area this year for our get together. The host, much to our surprise decorated the home with a Christmas tree and other decorations which really made it a special time for us. The house was very neat and comfortable which also added to our enjoyment.
Have stayed in the past and fits our needs very well. Owner very responsive and always kind. We love our weekend girls getaway trip. A lot of space for all!
Myself and my 6 sisters all get together every September for a long weekend getaway. Plenty of beds for everyone, nice and peaceful and enjoyed the area Amish farms.
Awesome place to stay. Many bedrooms and lots of space. Phenomenal DVD movie selection in upstairs living room. Good yard space to play games and drink. Big fridge for plenty of adult beverages and hosts are very nice.
House was described perfectly in the listing and met all of our needs and more. Everything you would want to be here was available and the internet was great for those who may need it. Had a pile of kids from 2 to 9 and all of their needs were met and the yard was amazing. Would stay here again without hesitation!
The location is very quiet and peaceful within a very gorgeous landscape. The house is extremely spacious and has plenty of rooms for individuals. We brought extra items with us (ie. Coffee filters, paper towels, toilet paper) only to find out that everything needed for an extended stay was cleverly supplied. We're planning a trip a year in advance already just to make sure we can stay at this exact place!
This was a great place to stay for our group of four couples. We liked the private location in the country with no visible neighbors. We biked the Elroy-Sparta trail and were able to bike from the property to the trail (about 4 miles on country roads). Very accommodating owner, allowed us to check in early so we could get ready for our bike ride. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials for cooking, plenty of towels for everyone, comfy living room furniture, and a great amount of space! Good value for the price. Very minimal checkout requirements, which was nice!
We would absolutely stay here again! Loved sitting out on the porch or by the fire enjoying all the trees and stars. Plenty of beds and bathrooms, and so much kitchen space!
House is everything you would want in a VRBO home! Lots of room for a very large family if needed. House is very clean and Rose is just down the road if you need anything. Definitely a 5 star and I would book with her again!!
Quiet and secluded with lots of space inside and out
We stayed here with another couple as a home base for riding our motorcycles in the area. It was in a great location to ride out from any direction and enjoy the sites/scenery.
We loved the driveway as it had ample room for 2 vehicles pulling enclosed trailers to park, unload/load and turn around.
We also loved the garage so after riding we could park inside and not have to put into our trailers each day. We also used the garage to sit in lawn chairs and watch it rain the day it rained all day.
We loved that we each had our own space at night as 1 couple used the master bedroom on the main floor and the other a basement bedroom with access to a bathroom on that level.
The deck was a great place to sit and visit at the end of the day. The main floor living room had plenty of seating for us to hang out when not outside.
The owner was fast to respond when I reached out.
Enjoyed our stay here.
This place is everything I could hope for in a vacation rental. It was meticulously clean, well stocked, and located in such a quiet and beautiful part of Wisconsin. There was an abundant amount of clean towels and blankets. The house rules and checkout process were minimal unlike other places we have been. And the owner was only a text message away and a real person which is so much better than trying to communicate with a third party house managing service.
Our family came for the purpose of riding the Elroy Sparta trail which was a short five minute drive with Amish farms all along the way.
What a fantastic property! There were 6 of us for a Girl’s weekend and we were very comfortable. The house was beautiful with 5 bedrooms, kitchen and bath well-stocked with everything you could need, and very clean! It is a very remote location which was great for us. It was 45 minutes to LaCrosse which did not bother us, but something visitors should not glaze over in the listing as Rose is sure to note that. This property was even better than we expected. We are already talking about a return visit to the property.
The property is well kept and in a beautiful surroundings. The spaces in the home were conducive to our enjoyment of the family gathered. Rose was great to work with.
We greatly enjoyed our stay once again at the property. It is a nice midway point for our family travelling from different states. The house and location are great. We love the layout, the furnishings, and the decorations in the home. We appreciate having the Christmas tree up to put our gifts under. Fun was had by all. We look forward to booking here again in the future!
My family and I had a wonderful stay over Christmas 2023. The property is beautiful and quiet. Pictures do not do it justice. The views from the house of rolling hills are stunning. The house is very welcoming and cozy, and we all felt like we were at home. It was clean and well equipped. Beds were comfortable. The kids were happy to find the toy closet! There was a Christmas tree and lit garland inside, and some lights on the outside. The host responded to messages in a friendly and timely fashion. Wifi was adequate for video streaming and staying connected. Overall, Rose does a really nice job hosting and I would definitely recommend this property.
Visiting our son and family over Thanksgiving and grandsons hockey tournament. We wanted someplace where we could all be together. This was perfect! Highly recommend!
The house worked great for our group. There was plenty of room for everyone. The area is beautiful. We enjoyed using the fire pit on the crisp evenings. We would be happy to stay again.
