This rustic Riverside A-frame definitely delivered on the secluded charm! Tucked away ever so slightly, I didn’t even feel like I was in Racine and I’ve lived here all my life! My newly husband and I rented this cabin for a me and the bridal party to get ready at, and for us to have our first sleep as a newly wedded couple! Our hosts treated us with champagne, a thoughtful card, a beautiful floor length mirror for photos and an amazing cinnamon roll Kringle!! ONE OF OUR FAVORITES!! This A-frame has such beautiful craftsmanship and comfortable amenities to make you feel right at home. By far my favorite historical home in Racine county. 1000/10 would rent again!

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here. We had a concert in milwaukee at fiserv on Saturday and didn’t want to stay in the city. It was about a 30 min drive to fiserv. The cabin is very clean. The beds were comfortable. Check in and check out instructions were clear and very easy to follow. The driveway to the property is sort of hidden and right off the main road so slow down when you get near it or you will miss it like I did at first. We spent a lot of time outside on the deck. Unfortunately, there were lots of mosquitos later in the day. There is a fire pit that we didn’t use but is nice to have. A friendly neighborhood cat also came to hang out with us on the deck. Overall, the cabin was peaceful, clean, and the location was great. There are some really pretty parks and beaches on Lake Michigan that were really close that we visited as well. It’s close enough to stores and things but felt like we were in secluded woods too. Overall we would give this place a 10/10. While this did not impact our stay or rating, we would recommend adding a full length mirror somewhere and maybe citronella candles for the deck area. Thanks for letting us enjoy your property. It was a relaxing and perfect girls getaway for us.

The property was unique, spotless, and just as described. I appreciated the communication from the owner and tips he provided for our stay. It’s a fun little house that makes you feel like you are out in the woods even though you are actually right in a main area. It was a good central location for us to do things like a trip to Lake Michigan, a day trip to Six Flags, and catch a Brewers game.

Cousins Camp
We had a great stay here for our cousins camp! The cabin was very clean, located in a quiet area—even with some construction next door, it still felt quiet and peaceful. The pictures don’t do it justice, it was very clean! The large backyard was perfect for hanging out, and we appreciated the fire pit (Solo Stove) with plenty of firewood available for purchase. The kitchen was stocked with basics like olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, along with all the essential cookware we needed. There are grocery stores within a few minutes drive. There’s no washer and dryer, but overall, it was a great spot and a lovely space to unwind - I’d definitely return.

Beautiful gem close to Chicago
We booked this stay hoping to be closer to nature but still close enough to Chicago, as we were traveling with kids. This house exceeded all of our expectations. Everything was absolutely spotless. It had everything a family with kids could need and all of the hiding places were great for our hide and seek games. The beds and pillows were comfortable, there were ample cleaning supplies which some of the other properties we’ve been to have lacked, and more than enough cutlery and kitched utensils, pots and pans for our cooking needs. The backyard was from a different dimension. You forget you’re in a city - the views, the sound of the river, the songs of the birds - incredible! The single downside of everything was that it ended! This property is going on our “favorites” list and will be visited again! We absolutely loved our stay! Steven was an incredible host - very responsive and accommodating! Thank you!!

Neat place!
Loved our stay! Place is super cute and well kept. Had everything you would need. Bed was a little soft for us but works. Cabin is close enough to see everything but far enough away to feel secluded. Loved being right off root river! Great place for kayaking. We caught a wide verity of fish just playing around off 1 lure the entire stay 😂. I would highly recommend this place! We will definitely be back! Thanks again!

Great location, beautiful property
My dad, brother and I stayed here for 3 nights for a fishing trip Racine. The host was extremely responsive, from the time of booking through the end of our stay.
The A-frame sits on a nice-sized lot a bit off the main road. It's easy to access yet is far back enough to not hear a ton of road noise. You can walk down to the Root River which is one of the reasons we booked it - and it did not disappoint. The house looks almost brand new and was squeaky clean. It has the feel of a cabin but with more amenities (and a Nest thermostat).
If you're looking for a nice "home base" when visiting Racine and the surrounding areas, I'd recommend checking this place out!

Beautiful Cabin
The cabin is beautiful and clean. You can smell the pine as soon as you walk in. Makes you feel as if it was built the day before you arrive. The host was amazing. Great communication, friendly, and attentive. He shared a lot of information on local fishing and makes everything super easy and accessible in the cabin. Definitely would recommend to anyone who needs few days to unwind and disconnect.

Winter Getaway with the Kids
My 6 and 7 year old daughters and I stayed for the weekend and had a wonderful time. They loved playing hide-and-seek in the house, which was clean, bright, and beautiful. The Racine Zoo nearby was also a big hit. We look forward to renting the A-Frame again in the summer so we can also enjoy the awesome backyard! It’s even a great getaway for one, with a lovely office nook that overlooks the backyard and river. I recommend it highly!

Great stay!
My fiancé and I decided on a last minute trip to Wisconsin as we’d never been. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Kringle Cabin was a beautiful home and it had everything we needed. The atmosphere was wonderful! The home, furnishings and outdoors amenities were great. You feel like you are in the woods but close to everything. Host was wonderful and responsive. Thank you Steven for the Kringle!! It was delicious! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!!
