Niki was amazing! Super responsive and the property was perfect. Lake couldn't have been better while we enjoyed our week on the lake. Really nice neighbors was a huge plus!

Thank You David! We are so happy your time at our lake house was an enjoyable one. We are so lucky for our neighbors on either side of our house. They truly are the best. Thank You again and always welcome back.
Was an excellent spot on the lake. We loved the large flat back yard and sand. Was perfect for families.

Thanks so much Mark! We love when are kids can run around and play all day and still be in eyesight. The sand beach was one of their favorite places to play when they were smaller.
Thank You
We did a weekend trip to play Sand Valley golf resort - house was great - 15 min to the resort, clean and just as described positioned on the lake, great property. As advertized!

We love how close Sand Valley Resort is to our home. They are doing amazing things over there. We are so happy our lake house provided just what you needed for your golf/lake weekend stay. Please come back anytime. Thank You
Awesome summer stay. The property was just as shown in the listing. Owners were awesome to work with. The streaming TV and no local stations was hard to get used to but we made it work. The kitchen area was great for dinners and family gaming. We loved the screened in porch to get away from bugs. Lake was great to cruise on. Frontage was not as expected a little weedy but we made do. Sat on the pier or floated in the water as we had great weather. They utility room had any kind of toy you wanted to play with. Great amenities! Rome is cute town, farmers market was good! We will be back.

Thank You Christine!
We are happy to hear our house accommodated your stay. We would love to have you back.
We have a new landscaping service this year and gave notice of the weeds, appreciate the note on that. The lake association does their best to clean up as close to the shoreline as they can too. Something we will keep an eye on. Thank you. We hope to see you back again. 🙂
Niki
We had a great time at the lake house & Niki was a very helpful & responsive host. It is by far the best equipped rental we’ve ever had. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, pots & pans, glassware, dishes & utensils and there were plenty of outdoor games & kayaks. The layout was perfect for our family & the screen porch & yard are great! We also rented SUP’s from Dave at Central Lakes Sales Watersports Rentals (includes delivery & pickup). During the week the lake is pretty quiet, perfect for paddle boarding. It does get busy on the weekends, but the no wake until 10AM is nice. We tried several restaurants in the area & visited Stevens Point & LaCrosse on rainy days. Overall, it was an awesome getaway week for us!

We are so happy you and your family enjoyed your stay. I loved all the places you took advantage of visiting when the weather did not cooperate. We would love to have you back anytime. Thank you
The property was exceptional.
Extremely clean and well maintained.
The pictures online are accurate. You cannot beat the location of this property, flat yard space, unlimited “toys” and easy boat rental.
The area near Rome is also great, everything within 10-15 minutes of property. Thank you for a great stay!

A beautiful home on a beautiful lake. There was plenty of room for a 6 of us. Our favorite spot to gather was the screen in porch. Our grandson loved crawling around while we enjoyed the view of the lake. We already booked for next summer.

Thank You so much, we are thrilled your stay was worthwhile. Please come back again, we would love to have you.
We stayed here recently and it was a wonderful weekend. It didn't feel too crowded, especially with the enclosed balcony and outdoor space. It was perfect for our group of 7 adults. There's plenty of lawn games and water toys - very thoughtful for guests!

We are so happy your stay at our lake home was enjoyable. We love the screened porch as well. You are welcome back anytime. Thank You
This place is great. Lots of room and the beds were so comfy. Tons of outside toys to keep any age busy. The only thing that I would complain about is that the lake has alot of seaweed. We had a great time.

Lovely home with a great screened in front porch looking out at the lake. Big sand area for the 3 and 5 year old to play. Lots of sand toys, kayaks and other water toys. Many activities close to the house. Fishing was great.

We are so happy your family enjoyed your stay at our lake house and the kids had lots to play with too. The screened porch is my favorite too!
Thank You
This is a great property right on the lake. The owner, Niki, was so helpful when we had a little hiccup with our arrival and kept in touch. While the weather wasn't conducive for using the kayaks, it was so relaxing which was just what we needed. I hope we will get to rent again the next time we are in the area.

Thank you Jodie! I was so happy you were able to enjoy the kayaks and get some relaxation after that long drive and "hiccup". Hopefully you can stay again and get your golfing in.
Wonderful Lakefront house - exactly as on the pictures. Location still unspoilt. House super clean and very well maintained. Will look forward to returning again in the fall.
