Very clean and well-kept house. You won’t believe how quiet and peaceful the place is until you experience it in person. The full-size basketball and volleyball courts were a great bonus, and we really enjoyed them. The firepit by the lake made the evenings even better. I never thought much about Johnsburg before, but honestly, I liked this place even more than Lake Geneva. Brian is a great host, very accommodative .

The Johnsburg Estate is a great place for a larger group to hang out. The home has a lovely area to gather all together, as well as many nooks and rooms for individuals to get some down time. The home comes equipped with all you need for a great time away, and the hot tub and lake views were amazing for winter! The owner is super responsive and was very helpful to us!

The host responded quickly to any questions we had. The house definitely let our family spread out for a birthday weekend celebration. Kitchen amenities were abundant and plenty of seating for meals and games. Hot tub warmed us up during the cold three night stay. Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy all the outside amenities.

We had a group of 12 guys for our annual guys trip. We had such a good time, and it was such an awesome property. There are multiple wings of the house and also a separated bunk room so there was plenty of room and everyone was able to have a good level of privacy. Just a huge property with so much to do and wish we had more time to get to it all!

We rented this home for our kids’ prom weekend, and it could not have been more perfect. The house had absolutely everything we needed for the kids to have an amazing and memorable time. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out, relax, and enjoy the weekend, and the property was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described.The amenities were fantastic and kept everyone entertained all weekend long. The kids especially loved the kayaks, foosball table, pool table, and ping pong table. It truly felt like there was something for everyone.The owner was incredibly responsive, helpful, and wonderful to work with from start to finish. Any questions we had were answered right away, which made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.We truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the home and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and well-equipped place for a group getaway or special occasion.

Awesome reunion lakeside compound

Clean, fully equipped with sporting/recreational stuff, loads of bedrooms and bathrooms. The only real negative is that almost all the bathrooms are attached to bedrooms. Pickle ball, basketball, cornhole, volleyball, pool table, kayaks, all great. Perfect for a large group.

Great Location. Roomy, with Bonus Lakefront!!

This is a fantastic property. We had a group of about 20, and were all able to sleep in beds! The large room and large TV screen meant that our meetings and group games were wonderful. Having the large back yard, lakefront, and the kayaks made it perfect.

Our group of 11 business colleagues were very happy with the property. There is space for privacy, and also for gatherings and meetings. We really appreciated the rapid communication with the host, and never waited more than a few minutes for a response from him - we will be happy to stay here again in the future. The view of the lake was peaceful, the house was clean and well-outfitted.

Fantastic

Can't speak to what's nearby or anything, but the place itself was fantastic. Easy check-in, great amenities and plenty of space, and a beautiful property. Great kitchens for cooking huge group meals and the lake and everything was fantastic, I loved going out on the lake a little in the kayak, the chairs out by the water were a wonderful touch, we had a great night grilling, too! Just fantastic all around, couldn't have asked for a better place to hang out and catch up with the folks I care about.
