10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
This was the perfect house for us, had everything that we needed. Traveled with three adults and three kids (10, 7, 3) - having a ballfield right across the street was a HUGE selling point for us since we are a big baseball family, we were at the field every day. The village is very cute, also really quiet (minus July 3rd when a few very rowdy drunk people decided they needed to honk horns and scream-sing at 11pm). Kitchen had everything that we needed, basement was great to have the kids go play on a different level. They thought taking the ferry across the lake was pretty cool and the ice cream shop on the other side of the lake in Lodi is awesome with yard games and a really big sandbox for them to play in.Hosts were amazing to work with, answered all my questions prior to arriving, price was on point with what we wanted to spend. Close enough to the Dells for fun adventures but far enough away to be in a quiet area in a little town. Will book with them again in the future.
