The home is beautiful, very clean and had all the amenities one could have wanted/needed. The owners were very quick to answer questions we had. Hot tub was amazing, it had a radio with Bluetooth hook-up and was nice and hot. We had a little trouble getting the LP firepit lit but once we knew you just had to hold the button in longer than expected it worked perfect. We were already talking about booking again next year!

We had such a wonderful time at the Rosewood Lodge! The property is absolutely stunning with the most thoughtful hosting details and touches throughout the home. The thoughtfully stocked kitchen was a highlight! We had such a pleasant experience from our first to final exchanges with the property owners. The property is very clean and we appreciated the notes of sanitization measures upon our arrival. This property is an absolute dream home and was such a special place for us to spend time as a family. The 12 person hot tub in the absolutely stunning, perfectly manicured backyard put an exclamation point on our stay. We plan to return in the future!

Wow. Just wow. Incredible place. This host knows hospitality. So many thoughtful touches. All of the amenities you could think of and more. The property was very clean with comfortable beds, fully stocked bathrooms and kitchen. Easy check-in and checkout. Great communication with our host, Kelli. The hot tub was fantastic. This is one of the best properties our group has rented in more than 25 years of annual girls’ weekends. 10 out of 10 all the way around! Great place for the cost! We’ll be back!

Kelli had been very responsive and their home is gorgeous! Our little kids had so much fun and really enjoyed the outside where there was plenty of space to play. The large hot tub was an incredible amenity we all enjoyed. We could tell there was a lot of thought and details put into this location and space to make the stay memorable. Would return!

About the host

Hosted by Kelli Brandenburg - 715-797-3345

Host profile image
Hi, My name is Kelli Brandenburg - Brave and my husband is Mark. I have been a Flight Attendant for 36 years and work for Delta Airlines. So, YES! I love to travel and have been all over the world but still yearn to see more. Mark and I enjoy horseback riding and have 10 horses, 5 cats plus many barn cats. We are strong community minded people and enjoy participating in community groups and helping others.

Why they chose this property

The ROSEWOOD LODGE is named after the street which was named after my deceased mother, ROSE. I designed this log home back in 2000 and it is accented with many items from my travels. I truly LOVE this home and hope you will too. Please enjoy this very special place.

What makes this property unique

Each room has a basic theme. The logs are 11 inch northern white pine. The log design is Swedish cope. Most of the furniture was custom made by a local Amish man. Many of the rugs I brought back from INDIA. The carved bears were created by a wood carver in northern WI. and he used one single 100 year old willow tree. The kitchen cabinets are maple and specially designed. Wishing you a wonderful stay.
