Awesome quarters! Beautiful interior! We enjoyed hanging in the house watching the tubers.

Hosts were wonderful to work with. We will definitely go back. They let us use their tubes which saved us money. And it's an easy walk to betty's store.

Graduation Trip

This trip was to celebrate my son’s graduation. And it could not have been more special for he and his friends. Stephen, the owner was very responsive and friendly, offering great information and suggestions on things for these young men to do if it rained or they got bored. Advised on the best fishing holes, and where to get fishing licenses. The house is absolutely gorgeous and just a quick walk to the town center! We would love to return without a bunch of boys next time. Thank You Stephen and Monica!

Octoberfest in a water tower castle!

We know it’s not a castle, but staying in the Wasserhaus gave us the feeling of being inside a castle turret. Well-appointed and so conveniently located near all the fun of Helen. This is a gun and unique spot. The hot tub was used nightly and we gathered as a family to enjoy the living room and kitchen but also had several balconies and rooms to get quiet time when needed. Great spot to stay in a unique town.

Great for families

We stayed a few days with family and had lots of space!! The inside is awesome and you must see it to believe how well it’s been done. Stephen was great, and was available to help with any questions. He let us use the tubes in the garage and that saved us money. Great property, fun to sit on the decks and watch tubers pass by. Would recommend this for large family or a few couples.
