What a great house! It had everything we needed with plenty of room for our 17 guests. The basement game area was awesome. So close to lake access, parks/beaches and bars/restaurants. Couldn’t have asked for a better property for our vacation. Thank you!

Great place that met our needs for 21 people— 14 adults and 7 children ( ages 1-16). House was lovely and well equipped. Amazing screened in porch. Great spot for swimming and kayaking (brought our own) was a short walk away, on the community path by the lake. More kayaking/boating/ swimming opportunities close by at Buckhorn State Park. Owner was very responsive to any questions or needs. Minor quibble: a note on how to use the microwave would be helpful. Took some fiddling about to figure out just how to reheat something. Great place!

Great Weekend Getaway!

Truly a gem for a large family getaway. We hosted three generations for a reunion, and there was ample space for everyone and plenty of activities between the lake and game room. And the three season porch was a huge hit! Would absolutely come back.

We had a great stay at this rental house over the weekend with multiple families – there was plenty of space for everyone. The house was very clean and well-maintained, and the owner was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Being in a wooded area, the bugs were really bad (hard to spend any time in the evenings outside), but that’s to be expected in such a natural setting. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Great convenient paradise home for all ages

Our multigenerational (6 mo to late 70s) large (19) multifamily family recently stayed for extended weekend and could not recommend it more highly property had an outstanding ambience inside and out. Plenty of stuff for people of all ages to do. A chefs kitchen (supply your own chef). Very near all the stuff you want to do in the Dells but outside the madness.

Wonderful property for family reunion

My siblings and their spouses enjoyed a wonderful time at the beautiful spacious house. There are multiple gathering areas. My sisters stated that it was the best stocked kitchen they have seen in a vacation home. We especially enjoyed the massive screened in porch. We were able to take a nice hike along the lake. The path to the dam is just steps outside the back of the property.

Beautiful Home

We had 15 people from age 13-85 gathered for our family vacation. Check-in was easy, parking plentiful, the house was sparkling clean, and the kitchen well appointed. Our whole family could sit around the table. We used every inch of the property- the screen porch, fire pit, game room, the lake, and the trails. Our only suggestion would be adding a door to the basement or some soundproofing for the game room. We had a wonderful week. Thank you.

Amazing New Home on a Beautiful Lake

Every year my family and I plan a trip with all the kids to a lake house. This one did not disappoint. The layout is perfect for entertaining and has everything you need to keep the kids busy. Loved hanging out on the deck and by the fire pit at night. There is a nice trail alongside the lake that we walked one morning. Jason was awesome and made everything very easy for us. If you are looking for a relaxing weekend I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Beautiful brand new house !

Me and my friends had the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful brand new house during the 4th of July weekend . The house is very spacious, perfect for large groups /multi family . The kids loved the bunk beds and the game machines in the basement. The adults enjoyed fishing (1 min walk-in distance) and the “screened in patio “ (no mosquitoes bites ) . Not too far (2,3 miles) we were able to lunch the boat/jet skis which was a big plus for us . The house overall is gorgeous with lots of beautiful modern touches , will definitely stay again in the future . The owner was very helpful with all the questions we had .
