Great Experience
This house was in a perfect location. Close enough to the Festival grounds in Cadott, but far enough away to be out of any commotion. Jim falls is a nice town to stay in. They have a couple restaurants and a nice gas station just down the road from the property. The house being right on the water was nice for fishing or drinking coffee from the coffee bar on the deck in the morning. The yard is well kept and has a nice fire pit for use. Inside the house, all the bedrooms (beside the attached studio) are in the basement which was nice because it was cooler. The kitchen is larger enough for many people to hang out, and the living room had plenty of seating even with the pull out bed pulled out. The communication with the host was amazing! Their response rate was quick and the messaging was informative. Our group would 100% stay there again.

July family get together
Nice place; loved the view of the river. Kitchen was perfect for our group of six adults. Nice and plentiful towels. Two very small things that would really be nice: 1. a deck of cards and some board games (if there were any, we couldn't find them) and 2. newer brochures from the area. The brochures were from 2020!

Well-appointed home
Our family really enjoyed our extended weekend. The brick paved firepit area was a big hit for us as was the short stairs down to the dock making getting in the boats super easy. The home is very well equipped with towels, bedding, cookware and service ware. The appliances were all beautiful. The only cons I would have to mention are the bedrooms are all downstairs on basement level and the homes' location is pretty much as far upriver as you can go by boat so the ride down to the actual lake takes some time, but the scenery makes the trip well worth it!

Perfect downtime retreat
A perfect setting for our (adult) family's week of downtime. Clean home with plenty of gathering spaces for reading and game playing. We all enjoyed relaxing right on the river. We prepared almost all of our meals, and the kitchen was great! The owner and property manager were extremely responsive to a minor issue we experienced.

Great home and location
We had a group of 10 and the home fit well for all. We had 6 teenagers and four adults. The two king rooms worked well for the adults. The kids loved the dock to fish from and the fire pit to sit around. We loved the extra beverage fridge which was very helpful. Home had all conveniences including extra paper towel, garbage bags, tp and laundry detergent. This was awesome and we wish we had known as we wouldn’t have hauled everything with or bought at store on our way in. We had two issues with our stay one was check in. When we arrived at the property the code for the box was not accurate. We immediately emailed the contact and tried the phone number for contact. The phone number was also wrong and went to a telemarketing firm (which has resulted in numerous scam calls since). We were able to track down the owner through an internet search and he called back. One other issue was the phone service was not good, we were however able to get connected to the wifi when standing by the front door so that we could make a call. The other item not mentioned in the description is that the garage os converted into another unit that was rented out to another couple. We were aware there was another unit but we didn’t know how that set up was as pictures were not included. We sort of assumed it might have been a detached unit. It was a bit awkward hearing conversations and TV from our bedrooms when it was not from our group. Overall it was not a huge issue and we really enjoyed the stay and would recommend it.

Angler’s Dream
Our father-son fishing reunion was a big hit at this property! The fishing pier/dock was great for catfish and smallmouth bass. The yard served up some mean bocce ball matches. The Old Abe Trail was a short walk away. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed to make dinner for 11 each night. The owners were immediately accessible with the one minor, self-inflicted issue we encountered. This is a beautiful property, in a great location. Highly recommended!

Great location for family trip
We had a great extended weekend trip here in the early (but hot!) summer. Plenty of room for two families to share the space. We loved the outside backyard area. It was a little closer to neighbors than we'd realized - definitely more in a neighborhood than in the woods, but it was fine. We drove to the close state park for swimming, and went on the bike trail. Lovely!
