Birthday Weekend
We really enjoyed the location and the beautiful house! There was plenty of bedrooms and restrooms for 5 couples. Wendy & Mike are wonderful hosts and made sure we were comfortable and safe during our stay! We selfishly hope they don’t sell their property so we can come back!

Beautiful home
Stayed in this immaculate property while our group was on a Sand Valley golf trip. Well equipped with everything we needed, close to everything but far enough away for tranquility.

Beautiful home!!!!
House was beautiful and spacious and well stocked! Mosquitoes were a problem. Fishing and swimming from the pier was poor. Lots of weeds and stumps in the river. Fishing and swimming in the river were good. Lots of sand bars for kids to play and swim in.

Family reunion
The weather prevented us from enjoying all the property has to offer. The yard would be great for playing crocket, setting up a volleyball net or roasting marshmallows on a fire. The young children did have fun riding bikes on the driveway. The great room offered plenty of space to sit and read, play games and spend time together. I would caution families with young children that the drop off to the river is steep. It was easy to tie up a boat to the pier until the DNR opened the dam!

Beautiful river house
We have a group of couples friends that try to get together each year. This year we stayed at this beautiful river house. Plenty of room and fun amenities such as pier and dock, fire pit, pool table and huge dinning table for us all. We would definitely go again

Nekoosa WI River Vacation With Friends
We had a group of 10 adults. We really had a great time staying at this home. Lots of space, large bedrooms, and plenty of bathrooms. We enjoyed the large kitchen and living room. We also enjoyed playing pool in the basement family room. Plenty of seating for all of us around the fire pit and patio table. A beautiful house with good location near town, stores and shops. Things to note, the pier is big, but not the greatest for fishing off of or swimming. I highly recommend a boat. It will allow you to see more of the beautiful WI river as well as petenwell lake, there are many sandbars to stop and swim.
