We arrived in the evening, after dark. The first thing we saw was a beautiful, elegantly-lit Christmas tree. Set the stage for a wonderful family weekend. Had a tiny issue with the water heater, and Sarah was so kind when we needed her help. This place is magical.

We had a wonderful weekend with family, friends, and our golden retriever! Everything was so clean, comfy and relaxing, not to mention beautifully decorated. There is everything you could possibly need from extra toiletries, extra, coffee, spices, utensils, pans, outside grill etc. Also plenty of things to do in the area . We had breakfast at Nicks in Cuba City totally recommend. Visited our son at UW Platteville and didn’t feel it was far. The sunrise here is amazing, directly across the field from the front door! We came home feeling relaxed which was an extra bonus . Already booked again !
