Nice secluded home with beautiful landscape. Perfect for family from different locations to get together and relax in front of the fireplace and converse. Since we had a family wedding all the bathroom space was a must and that definitely did not disappoint. Would like to return in the summer when we can enjoy the outdoor activities on the River
Loved staying at this property - the photos are 100% accurate and the place was as lovely as portrayed. Everything has been thoughtfully designed for visitors. Plenty of comfortable sleep spaces, bathrooms, and a cool overall layout. I wou

About the host
Hosted by Megan N Fifarek
Brian and I are a couple of Illinois transplants living life in Wisconsin. We are raising four busy kids in the Milwaukee Suburb of Wauwatosa. We love water front properties and our blessed to own the Origami House with 250 ft of riverfront property on the Wisconsin River and easy access to Lake Wisconsin. We love sharing our unique modern family riverfront retreat whenever we are unable to be there ourselves. There is so much fun and adventure in the heart of Wisconsin within 30 minutes of the vacation rental in any direction you wish to go.
