It was a very restful visit. The property was clean and the location was great. Plenty of room to spread out and the neighborhood was quiet. The property has a very nice dock which provided both a scenic view for sitting as well as providing a good fishing location. All in all, a great stay!

The house was amazing. Plenty of room for our group if eight. Nice little touches like a Keurig with a wide assortment of coffe and hot chocolate flavors. Cozy soft blankets available in the large family room to snuggle in. Large windows that gave you great views of the lake. Hosts that were good communicators.

Relaxation

The house was as advertised. It was clean, spacious, and located in a nice neighborhood. The location had nice access to main roads. The fishing from the dock provided action from bluegill and largemouth bass. Overall, a very relaxing and nice stay and we'll be back!

Great Lake House for Large Group

The house was in a perfect location, right on the lake, and had everything my group of friends needed for a comfortable stay. The well water had a pretty strong metallic smell in the showers but I think that's to be expected in the area. Communication with the owner was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Fun house with all the amenities

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the house! The water amenities - the kayaks and the stand up paddle boards were so much fun! The extra large patio with the fire pit were beautiful and we made a fire in the fire pit every night. The house was big, with 2 family rooms and a pool table which we played on everyday. The kitchen was well appointed. We hope to return there in the future!

Perfect Vacation Home

Stayed on this beautiful piece of property in July 2024. The nicest vacation property that I have rented in 35 years! Beautiful and well-designed home on a beautiful lake. The home has more amenities than most including kayaks, paddle boards, nice gas grill, fire pit and very large stone patio. The views of the water are amazing!!! Fishing was great and caught my biggest walleye. I will be returning next year!

Extended family wedding stay

The house was more than accommodating! Loved the floor plan. Plenty of rooms/beds for family of 8 with room for more. Lower level is very spacious. Open kitchen was great for cooking with plenty of space and tables for dinning. With 2 areas to lounge allowed adult kids to do what they wanted. The real gem was the backyard patio and fireplace! We spent most of our time in the backyard enjoying the lake view,. This property has a spacious area to play in the water also. Highly recommend a stay.

There was a pipe leak of some kind. John's wife went to the place and had it fixed while we were out. The issue was resolved without us getting bothered us. They even let us checked out late which is very nice of them.

Great "Lake House" Stay

Exactly what we were looking for an Extended Family weekend. The House was great and we'll stocked for all kinds of activities for both adults and kids. Kids enjoyed the Toys, adults the beautiful bar. We utlized the Large patio, firepit, inflatable kayaks, paddle boards and nice dock. Fishing was great off the dock plenty of sunfish and even some decent Bass. The huge side room was great for some separation of louder activites from anyone resting. Internet worked well for us too. The area was nice, enjoyed walking some along the road and town had a few restaurant options and a nice coffee shop. I think we'll plan to come back at some point.

Lake Ripley House

Very nice, clean, spacious home (all as described). No first floor bedrooms, may be an issue if anyone in your group has trouble with stairs. Owner communication was simple, straightforward, perfect. Nice quiet neighborhood. We were near enough to Madison for our "event" that the distance (from Madison) was more of a plus. I wish I had brought a canoe (not the fault of the property!). They had inflatables and paddle boards, but the time of year we went (late fall), a canoe would have been a nice addition.

Beautiful and spacious cottage

This cottage was amazing! The property manager took care of the smallest detail - sugar and ample flour in the kitchen cabinets to bath soap and shampoo in the washrooms! Typically you won’t see that in rentals. So great to think about the little things that make an experience delightful. The cottage is super spacious on the main floor. We were 9 of us and a dog but didn’t feel tight ATALL as there was more room to hang out than what we needed. The open lake view is a great plus on rainy or cold days and Madison is 20 min away. All in all a beautiful and spacious cottage!
