Late Xmas Celebration with Nana

We had an amazing time - gathered the troops (kids & grandkids) from Minnesota and Illinois and we played Air Hockey, Table Tennis, Solved a Murder (murder mystery game), took family pictures and on and on. What a perfect place to do all of this and most importantly made a family memory (my Christmas Wish). Thank you.

Much better than a hotel

Being able to accommodate a large group under one roof was great. Lots to do with the game room, tvs everywhere to watch the Packers and a large fire pit for smores and conversation. We spent a ton of time on the spacious front porch, especially with little ones. Location was peaci, but close enough to all the Wis Dells activities!

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a fabulous time! Some things that you may be unaware of; recyclables were nearly full, not leaving much room for ours. Missing a can opener and potato peeler. Looks like you may have a water leak in the roof near the upstairs bedroom on the roof in the hallway near the bedroom on the Left - looks like there is mold forming. We had a great time and would definitely consider rebooking!!

Enjoyed our stay

House was very clean and nicely decorated. Lots of space and everything needed was there. Game room has some wear and tear - but that's to be expected with a rental. Kids could not get enough of it and spent all free time playing pool, ping pong and air hockey. Property is big and wooded - very quiet neighborhood. Spent a lot of time in the Dells which was an easy 10-15 minute drive to everything. Overall had a great time and would recommend this house!
