We needed a place for a wedding at a winery near by and found this on a whim. This is the first time staying in a vrbo, and it was better then expect. We had 4 adults, 2 teenagers and still had plenty of room for sleeping, moving around and just hanging out. The house was super clean every where, plenty of supplies, and even had a washer & dryer to use. The garage space was a great addition for keeping busy with games & tv..bikes and kayaks too. The area is quite, and beautiful. Definitely take the time to sit and watch the sun set from the front yard. The host was amazing. Very easy to get in touch with, always willing to answer my questions and super friendly. It's definitely a place we'd stay at again!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Sunset House! What a great place for the entire family to meet up and reconnect for a long weekend.We are a family that loves to spend time outdoors, playing games, and time together in the kitchen. Being on the river provided lots of time for fishing and paddle sports. The garage/game room had things for everyone (ages 4 -75 in our group). The kitchen was packed with every necessity and gadget I can imagine, we were able to create our favorite dishes as well as grill outside and over the fire! Comfy beds were a plus, and we enjoyed all the modern amenities throughout the home.There's a reason it's called the sunset house! WOW! We absolutely enjoyed ourselves, and were thankful to have the opportunity to rent this vacation home!
We had an amazing stay at this riverhouse! The home is modern, clean, and luxurious throughout, but the real surprise was the incredible garage entertainment space — part man cave, part clubhouse, and truly unlike anything we’ve seen in a vacation rental. We spent hours enjoying the putting green, shuffleboard table, and bar area - the huge TV was perfect for watching the Packers game!The sunsets over the river were absolutely incredible — truly the perfect way to end each day.This place is a major step up from the average hunting cabin and offers so much more than expected. Plus, it’s only a block from a great Packers-themed sports bar and grill.My husband and kids can’t wait to go back — and neither can I. Highly recommend this property!
