My wife and I loved it. Definitely more bang for your buck then any hotel. Very peaceful, and welcoming. Would highly recommend to anyone.Thank you, K. Ewald
Everything was as advertised and then more, such a great area to visit. Thanks again for helping make our stay memorable, we highly recommend and plan on coming back.
Great stay in a wonderful location. The boat loft was very cozy and complete. The shower is a quite small but that's a function of the space available. The view is unbeatable - animal life, bird song and river breezes dominate and the balcony furnishings are incredibly comfortable. We spent most of our time sitting out there. The walk along the river is lovely and it is impossible not to relax. The host's phone number as listed in the unit led to a busy signal when we attempted to get in touch with a question but his wife's number worked. All in all an excellent value for a couples getaway.
The place was cozy and nice and the view was great. Even got to spend some of the night time looking at the moon from the very comfortable lounge chair!
Excellent fishing ! I caught 6 species and 15 fish in my short stay. Right off the dock I landed Perch, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Common Carp and Channel Catfish. There are lots of big Bass back in that bay ! I got a 15 pound Common Carp and 8 pound Channel Catfish off the dock as my best catches at that spot. The trails on the peninsula led to another great spot under the power lines. I caught more Perch, large Suckers, and even more Channel Catfish, 2 more being 8 pounds each. Ther are many other shore fishing spots in the area, several being blow spillways. Food is just 4 minutes away at Rusty's. Very quiet, and secluded location ! I would recommend to people who enjoy fishing and people who don't !
Cute little boathouse. Had lots of cute things to do. Campfire, kayaks, gorgeous water. Grills to cook. And the bed was very comfortable. Would stay here again.
Cozy little cabin for 2. We enjoyed our stay. The cabin is nothing fancy and that was OK. I would not do an extended stay as you have limited room in the refrigerator and a very small freezer. But for us and what we were doing in the area for 3 days it was perfect.We loved the trails connected to the property. It was very quiet with wildlife all around you.
We loved our stay at this beautiful spot! The loft is small but very clean and cute. It's a lovely place for one or two people. The surrounding property is just gorgeous! Beautiful view of the river and a relaxing yard area. If you are like us and prefer not to see the hosts, you do have to drive thru their driveway and past their house to get to the loft and they did come a couple times to use their boat but they were very nice and it was very private when you get back to the boat house. The beauty and peacefulness of the property was so wonderful that we would definitely go back again.
The view is great. The bed was hard and very uncomfortable. Coffee maker did not work properly and if you advertise a fire place it should be in working condition. We left a day early so we didn’t have to sleep on the bed.
Beautiful, private, quiet nature getaway on the Bay
The loft accommodations and amenities were very well planned and comfortable for the small space The porch and many lawn seating areas were all perfect to enjoy sunrises, sunsets, frog calls and multiple varieties of birds calls. Favorite sighting was the Green Heron that hung out on a branch just off the dock.We enjoyed the well groomed walking trails that follow the shoreline. The river is a quick paddle away. Our hosts were very nice and respected our privacy. I look forward to another getaway at this gem of a property.

Peaceful,
Over priced for what you got. Would not recommend
Great stay overall. Visitors should know: the area you're staying in is basic accommodations, it's a flat on top of a boathouse after all. Think country cabin -- it's cozy and clean, has basics but it's nothing too fancy. A smaller bed and the shower is utilitarian. Great water by the way. The immediate property however is a stunner. Private waterfront, areas to explore, nature all around. We saw various wildlife grazing the area right from the deck, and a distant storm roll in at night from the gazebo which was breathtaking. Even the private road coming in was super charming. We loved the property and wish we had more time to make use of it our trip. Would stay again.
This place is a little slice of heaven. It was very clean, beautiful decor, and all the amenities you could possibly need. From an outdoor griddle overlooking the water, a porch lounger swing, fire pit with provided wood, canoe and kayaks, a Keurig with coffee provided, comfy bed, gas grill down by the water, cornhole and other games, a nicely groomed trail that runs by the river, and so much more. I only use charcoal at home I wasn't sure how to light the gas grill and the host came right down and lit it for me and even invited me on their pontoon the next day. There was even some beverages in the little fridge. This place is PERFECT for one or two people. You could get a 3rd or 4th if you had air mattresses for the living room as there is only one bed. I chose this place for my solo bday getaway and it was absoutely perfect.
This cabin was the perfect getaway! Tucked away on the Wisconsin River, it’s private, peaceful, and full of charm. The porches were a favorite spot—we ate lunch overlooking the water, birdwatched (spotted over 10 species!), and enjoyed the beautifully lit backyard in the evenings. The property has so much to offer: trails where we saw deer in the morning, a gazebo with grills and music, yard games, and a cozy fire pit with wood provided. It was very romantic. My favorite part is the actual entrance to the property, it’s breath taking! Inside, the cabin is warm and rustic, exactly what you’d want for a relaxing escape. While the shower and bed are a bit small, the overall comfort and experience far outweighed that. Our host, Pat, went above and beyond—checking in after our arrival, recommending great local restaurants, allowing food delivery, and even gifting us a painting upon departure. Such a thoughtful touch!We left with wonderful memories and would absolutely return. Highly recommend this beautiful and unique property.
What a beautiful property. It is so welcoming. The host is so thoughtful about how the property is kept. I was in the area on business but would love to bring a lady friend for a true escape.
This was the perfect place for a little getaway! It was super clean. There is also a grill and many other things there to use that made it enjoyable. The kayaks were perfect to take out on the water! There is also a very well maintained trail to walk on, that had many clearings and places to sit, rest, and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
