Wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday

We truly loved our stay at Hidden Haven. The home was spacious, spotless, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable Thanksgiving holiday. We especially appreciated the peaceful setting and how easy everything was to access and use. Overall, everything was wonderful, and we’d be happy to return in the future. Thank you again for hosting us!

Family Vacation

The property was perfect for our family. The view was stunning. We enjoyed our time outside on the deck and by the fire. The pontoon was an added bonus. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Week long stay at hidden haven.

Was a great stay. Loved being right on lake and having pontoon right there. Deck was a great place to sit and watch the lake. Home is perfect for a big group with lots of sleeping space. Everything worked well. Thank you!

Great Family Weekend

Out family very much enjoyed the Labor Day Weekend at Hidden Haven. The cabin worked well for us, though the second queen mattress was quite uncomfortable and needs to be replaced. Unfortunately grandmother was unable to navigate the steep steps to ride along in the pontoon boat (it needs a more powerful motor. Please let us know of a cabin, lake, boat that is more accessible for grandmother. Thanks for the good time had by all.

Awesome Place

We had a great time at Hidden Haven! The property was well stocked with fun items and all of the cooking utensils that would you would need. It really felt like a home! Only a short drive to river tubing on the Wisconsin river and Golf at Sand Valley. There were plenty of comfortable beds. The property felt very clean and the dock and lake were great!

Relaxing week at Hidden Haven!!

We enjoyed our stay very much! The property was very nice, especially the large lakeside deck! We spent most of our time there. The house was nice and spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. Since we had family ranging in age from 2 months to 87 years, the only suggestion we have is to improve safety features on the stairs and pier on the lakefront. Great times!

My family and I had an amazing stay. House was clean and beautiful. One thing I was very disappointed about was the hot tub not working. One of the big selling points was sitting in there this weekend. *THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STAYIN WITH US! We were so bummed to hear the hot tub malfunctioned right before check in! We should have it up and running real soon! Come back and stay again!

A Wonderful Lake Home!

We loved our stay at this home. I thought the property was even prettier in person. We spent so much time on the deck overlooking the lake- it was just perfect. The home was very clean and had an easy check-in process. There was lots of space for the 11 of us to spread out. The master bedroom is upstairs in a pretty loft, but it did get very sunny in the morning when the sun came up. The kids enjoyed having the basement to spread out in. There were at least six beds down there and a pull out sofa. The kitchen was fully stocked with supplies for cooking. The home is about 40 minutes from the Dells, with a very easy drive. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Hidden Gem in Hidden Haven

Hidden Haven is a hidden gem amongst vacation rentals. This home had everything we could possible need to make our stay comfortable. Small things like tupperware and tin foil, large bath towels, tons of sizes/options for life vests to the big things like an incredible view and perfect sized pier. The kids loved taking out the kayaks (in the no-wake hours - we stayed during the 4th of July holiday, so the lake was busy with skiers and tubers). We loved playing pool & games when the weather didn't cooperate and finishing our day with a dip in the hot tub. The brick pathway that connects everything (each door, driveway, path to the deck & dock) was fabulous! I was barefoot the whole time! We were a group of adults and 4 teens and had plenty of room to spread out and more than enough beds and pillows. Thank you for a great holiday!

First-time Vrbo user from Milwaukee

Almost everything was great. The pictures - while very accurate - just can't do justice to the house. The deck on top of the boat house was just fabulous to look out over the lake. We loved the fire pit, and the hot tub was a huge hit with everyone. The house was so beautiful. There was plenty of room for the eleven of us, and we didn't even make use of all the beds. The kitchen & dining was great. There were plenty of supplies in addition to our own.This was the first time that we used Vrbo and the process couldn't have been any easier. Jeanette answered all our questions promptly before we left and when we ran into a problem, she got someone out to us pretty quickly. There were two minor things we didn't care for. The first nobody could do anything about, and that was the condition of the lake. Because it's such a small lake (218 acres) there was a lot of alge and weeds along the shoreline. You could swim and fish off the dock, but the weeds made it a little more tricky. I think we caught more weeds than fish, but I suppose there's not a whole lot that can be done. The second thing was that the boat motor caused us some problems. When we arrived, Shane told my son that the motor had been a little "wonky" in the past few weeks. On the last day my wife and I were fishing across the lake and the kids called and wanted to come out also. When we tried to start the motor it wouldn't start. We ended up having to paddle back and we're 70 years old. Not fun.
