A really fun place to stay for a short getaway with friends and a toddler. We enjoyed the amazing game room, the hammock, the deck, and the view of the lake. The place is decorated super cute and with very comfy and homey bedrooms. The host was easy to reach and great to communicate with. Thank you!

Our host was a great communicator and very responsive. The house decor was cute. Our kids appreciated the games in the basement and the record player in the living room. We made several meals and the kitchen was well stocked (except for salt—we never did find the salt). The view of the little lake behind the cabin was beautiful too. We had a comfortable stay, just 30 minutes from House on the Rock and Taliesin.

We had a blast and loved the small town atmosphere. The local pub was a great stop on our way between golf courses and was well worth the price and company! We will be staying here again.

Fantastic house in a very peaceful location. Loved spending time outside on the deck, on the hammock, by the firepit, or on the other comfy outdoor furniture. Kitchen was well stocked, which was helpful for making big family style meals. Tons of games, puzzles, ping pong, and water amenities to enjoy the lake. Easy to get into town for groceries or if you want to check out any local haunts. Hosts were super responsive and house was spotless.

Quiet getaway

Isleside is at the end of a a nice quiet street with a nice deck and lovely view of the water. We did not get a chance to go out on the water on this trip but appreciated that kayaks were there for our use if we wanted. House was exactly as described and we enjoyed our stay.
