Great place for a getaway
We stayed here during a SxS trip and found easy access to trails. We enjoyed the quiet location, pond, screened porch, hummingbirds, and more! Peg was great to work with and helped ensure our stay was top notch. We would definitely look to stay here again in the future.

Perfect Family Vacation
Peg did an outstanding job preparing and sharing her beautiful property with our family. The cabin is fabulous; well stocked, very comfortable and cozy and super clean. Everything you might need is provided including kayaks for two kids, sand toys, life vests for kids, inflatable rafts, charcoal and lighter fluid, a charcoal grill, lots of different seating for eating and relaxing outdoors, insect repellent, and lots more. The pond is just a gem and makes the property into an all inclusive vacation. Don't hesitate to book this spot. Your kids will have fun in the sun all day long playing in the sand and water, kayaking, swimming, fishing, catching tadpoles, and roasting marshmallows in the firepit at night. There is lots of privacy and peaceful space as the cabin is set back from the road and there are woods all around. We will remember and treasure this vacation for a long time!

About the host

Dave and I live in Holmen, WI where Dave is one of the pastors at First Free Church in Onalaska. We are both from Black River Falls but have lived throughout the US and England. My dad gave me the cabin property 44 years ago and the Amish built the cabin for us 13 years ago. We used the cabin as our main residence for 2 6-month stretches in the past until we found a house to buy. I actually loved living there. It slows you down. Something really needed in today's world.

Why they chose this property

My dad purchased the property about 60 years ago. He had a Christmas tree farm nearby and built a beautiful home that you see pictured in the cabin. We hope to keep the property in our family as we all love vacationing there because it is so private and the swimming pond is spring fed and the perfect air conditioner on a hot day.

What makes this property unique

Privacy and seclusion! Comfort and quiet with a tiny sense of roughing it as the nearest convenience store is still a 4-mile drive. The aerated pond is this great big natural swimming pool that cools you off and is always fun to watch as you rest or eat on the front porch. The night skies, because there are no city lights or other residences nearby, are fantastic.
