There were many areas of the property that was well utilized. The dock for fishing, the hammock for relaxing, the fire pit for great stories, and the dining room for great meals and games. Thanks for being a part of our memories in the making with our children and grand children.

Great cabin in the woods, super cozy
Our group had a wonderful stay. We were going to explore the Dells and also wanted a place that we could hang out together and relax. The cabin is wonderful and we had so much fun. Kayaking was fun in the lake and just relaxing at the house was just what we needed. Having the house all ready to go and we could just get settled was just great. Everything we could need was there and it made our trip super easy. Highly recommend the cabin and the hosts were wonderful. Thanks for the great stay.

Beautiful and Relaxing
We rented this property for a multi-generational family get-together and were very pleased. The sleeping spaces were comfortable, the common spaces were nice and large, and the outside of the home had all the amenities that each of us needed / wanted for our week of relaxation. The owners were very good about communicating / responding to questions... it was great. We're already considering going back again in the future.

Wish we could have stayed longer!
Such a cozy, peaceful property and inviting home to relax and reconnect with family! There is plenty to do onsite or you can spend time exploring the surrounding areas too. We did a bit of both. Fished off of the pier and caught bluegill and perch, enough for a nice meal for the three of us. We also enjoyed kayaking on the lake, dining outside on the deck and relaxing by the bonfire in the evening. Spent a day golfing and hiking around the John Muir Memorial County Park, and also took a day trip to visit the Aldo Leopold Farm and Shack in Baraboo and ended our day with a nice meal at Ishnala Supper Club in the Dells. Played board games in the evening in the cozy upper level of the cabin and had time to catch up on some reading, as well. Good communication with the property owners before and during our stay. So much more to do and explore in the area and would love to come back another time soon! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

We didn’t have access to the grill and it was a few days into the stay before we were advised how to access. It’s very peaceful and we did enjoy it. The fishing was great and we would consider staying again. The hosts are responsive.

Great Time Under the Oaks
We had the best time at this property for a birthday get together with friends! The house is super cute with comfortable beds, large front yard, deck, fire pit, grill and kayaks, all as described. We comfortably fit our group of 13 people each night. The hosts were really communicative leading up to and during our stay when we had any questions. When booked months prior, we did think we would be able to swim in the lake, however it is only usable if you rent boat. Despite what another review noted, we did not have any major issues with bugs. We packed eye masks for those sleeping in the game room and living room. The Lodge at Buffalo Lake is just a few houses down and great for food or drinks. Thank you, Dan and Meg!

Beautiful and clean home
The home was spotless and beautifully updated inside and out. The beds are very high quality with plenty of pillows and bedding - we all slept well. Note that there are no window treatments in the living room with the pull-out couch or the upstairs game room with the futon (both of which were extremely comfortable for non-traditional beds!) -- anyone wishing to sleep in those may wish to wear an eye mask to block the early morning sun. The kitchen was well-stocked. The lake was a little smelly but we did enjoy the kayaks nevertheless, and enjoyed the beautiful sunset views. The area seems to have a midge problem (due to the lake) - they were super active at night, and since we arrived after sunset, they swarmed our van as we were unloading our luggage and then flew into the house as we brought it inside. Harmless to humans, just annoying to deal with when we needed to open the door after dark. We spent most of our time there at the Dells and didn't mind the drive - would definitely stay again!

Great spot for a bachelor gathering
I booked this awesome location for my bachelor getaway weekend with 7 friends. It was a perfect spot for kayaking, yard games, and sitting around the campfire. Really close to the "downtown" area of Montello for supplies, restaurants, and bars as well. The house itself is a really cool place. Great seating, dining and bed situation. The only issue was missing some key supplies. Only had 1 bag each for trash and recycling (which filled quickly with 8 people) No paper towels and no multi surface spray to clean counters and tables (there were Lysol wipes though)

Our family had a great stay at this home over the Memorial Day weekend! We comfortably fit 3 adults and 6 kids. There's a great little town 5 minutes away with excellent food and everyone was so friendly - we really enjoyed the local boutique shopping. The kids had a great time fishing off the pier; catching one fish after another where we could barely keep up! The hosts had perfect communication with us before and during our stay. The home was clean and cozy. Thank you for hosting us! The kids already want to come back!

Beautiful Home Away From Home!
What a beautiful home! This house was such a perfect fit for our family of 6! It was so nice going and being able to relax, getting away from busy day life. We so enjoyed playing fun new games (darts was a big hit with our kids!), trying new restaurants (Sparks Grill for breakfast was great), snuggling under all the cozy blankets while watching tv/movies as a family and taking in the views of the lake. The sunrise on our last morning was just beautiful! The weather was still cold when we went, but sure would be a fun place to check out in the warmer months, to enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the deck, backyard and fun times in the lake!
