Lake Accessible Apartment
Very clear, beautiful location on the lake, background and restaurant was awesome. Jake was very friendly and just a nice guy!!!

Villa @ Chula Vista Resort w/FREE Waterpark Passes
Perfect for our little family of 4 that included a baby and toddler! Having a little kitchen was so helpful. We enjoyed being across the road in a more secluded area not within the hotel too! Eric sent multiple messages with all the info we needed! Would definitely stay again!

The Riverview Retreat, unique spacious upper.
Tyler’s place is a great place to stay. You won’t be disappointed! It is close to downtown. Very clean and all the pans you need for cooking if you decide to stay in and cook. Tyler’s place is comfortable. Highly recommend!

Riverview Big Family Condo 3 bedroom/3 bath for 16
Syed was very helpful and responsive the duration of booking the condo and the stay. The place was just beautiful with a nice scenic view from both balconies. Attractions, entertainment, and restaurants (outside of the property) were minutes away, along with gas stations and convenience stores such as Dollar General and even Walgreens. The kids had an amazing time. You don’t have to bring any cookware, just food and seasonings. Check-in was extremely easy. Put the code in and you’re good to go. The condo was a slightly modernized cabin. I personally loved the 14’ ceilings and the fact that every room had a separate bathroom. The kids loved the in-room jacuzzi. The beds were comfortable and the shower water was hot! Shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and air fresheners were in all bathrooms. We plan on visiting again in the soon to take advantage of Noah’s Ark discounted tickets!

The Albert Inn - Located near Riverside Park
We had the best time at the Albert Inn! It was such a clean and cozy space. Ericka has done such a great job of providing everything to make it a highly functional home away from home.

Stylish Historic Upper+King Bed/ Walk to Downtown
It was so comfortable and quiet, which was nice. And what I especially remember is how soft my skin felt after taking a shower.

Paradise by a serene river, relax, play, explore
Great location. Looks just like the pictures. Very clean. Joel was a friendly host.

Spacious 2 bedroom Apartment on river
The host has a beautiful home. My kids loved the space. It was clean and had everything you might forget available if needed. I love that there were drawers with little things like panty liners or an extra tooth brush. The cabinets were full of paper products and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Even the neighbors were friendly and the kwik trip across the street really came in handy.

Willow Lake Getaway Cozy for 2 - or large families
We LOVED this Airbnb! Everything was perfect for our "Mom's get-away trip"! The house was immaculate & had a great floorplan. The kitchen was even bigger & nicer than the pictures looked & fully stocked with everything you would need. The groundskeeper came immediately & got the water toys ready. We met neighbors across the lake & even hung out at their house the 1st evening! Everyone was super friendly. Roger was on it! Very responsive & easy to work with. 10/10 all around!!! Even left us beautiful flowers on our arrival! The lake was beautiful. The only negative was we weren't there long enough. Definitely went too fast! We hope to return again in the coming years!!! ❤️

Robin's Roost - One night stays available weekday!
This was a great stay! Great host, great communication. It was 20 minutes from Cascade Mountain, which was perfect for us. Loved the view of the river, even in winter it was so pretty. The place was adorable, loved the chalet and the spiral staircase. Great place to relax after skiing. Highly recommend!

Lake Geneva cottage with private beach access
If you are looking for a great place to stay near Lake Geneva, Jennifer’s place is the spot to choose. She has thought of EVERYTHING to make your stay pleasant. The location on the lake couldn’t be more perfect. Beautiful lake view front the front porch. The backyard is fenced-in and is so peaceful and relaxing. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the luxurious bedding! I’ve never slept so well away from home! Each bedroom and the family room has a tv with plenty of channels to watch if that’s your thing. I could go on and on about the coffee bar, luxurious towels and great shower in the bathroom, as well as the great cocktail bar set up in the kitchen. If you are thinking of staying in the area, you can’t do better than staying at Jennifer’s place. We will definitely be back and hopefully stay longer!

Country lakeside home near the city and shops
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5-night stay at Diane's place. She has clearly put a lot of thought and effort into creating a terrific guest experience. The house was very nicely laid out, with a well-equipped kitchen, ample seating, plenty of linens, and comfortable beds. It was also very private, located at the end of a cul de sac. We very much enjoyed the views of the lake, to include from the deck and outdoor seating. Very convenient to Verona (and Epic), with good restaurants and other services located within a short drive. Very much recommended!

Meracle Acres
Very nice, unique stay. Very quiet and private. Google maps takes you to the host's house which is one driveway off. She was very understanding and helpful though. Great value and would highly recommend.

Yahara River paradise!
Perfect home for a relaxing getaway. Beautiful home, very clean, with amazing views. The hot tub and grill we're a hit with us! We would definitely go back. Mike was a wonderful host. Thank you! Amy & Sam

Fun Lake Kosh Private Pier, Decks, Fire Pit, Grill
Wonderful home for a big family or group! Lots to do (if you’re not already busy!). The home has everything you need to rest, relax, and make killer meals. Madison is a quick 30 minute drive away as well. Highly recommend.

The Lake House on beautiful Mason Lake
This house is completely renovated and is set on Lake Mason (just 15-20 minutes from the Dells). The quality of the renovations (including a new pier on the lake) coupled with the cleanliness of the property, make it a gem of a find. The owner, Mike, is easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this property and will definitely be back.

Amazing place .highly recommend!!

Penthouse, Lakefront, Pontoon Ride, No Resort Fees
getaway weekend at Jody and Jana's was just what we needed. a cozy couch and comfy bed, ample space for the two of us and that view of the lake was unbeatable! loved the little snacks they left us and the home was perfectly clean and comfortable.

1BR UpperDells Riverfront: Jacuzzi, Pool & Hot Tub
Walkable from the main street in downtown Dells (Broadway). Felt right at home, comfy furniture, clean, thoughtful amenities, clear instructions. On the water, immediately next to a public launch. Giant jacuzzi bathtub in bedroom. Wish we'd stayed longer, would rebook.

*Pool/Hot Tub | 2 BR Condo | Waterfront | Downtown
Really nice apartment in a beautiful location right on the river. So peaceful in the morning. Very easy to find and get into. Exactly as described. Coffee pot with coffee bags, sugar and creamer including microwave popcorn and chocolate biscuits. Nice welcome pack. Lots of cutlery crockery and pans but didn’t see any oil or condiments. If you are going to cook you’d need to bring some. Had problems with the tv instructions but after contacting Ashley somebody came to the condo within 15 mins and sorted out for us. May need to update instructions or check settings haven’t been touched to save inconvenience. Just to note the smaller bedroom has the boiler in it which is very noisy. We had ear plugs so was ok for us but if you come in the cold weather and need heating you would need to bear in mind. Overall a lovely stay in a quiet area of town within a short walk to all amenities. Would recommend.

2BR Serene Riverfront • Spacious • Pool & Hot Tub
Our stay at the Dells was such fun! The host was extremely responsive and helpful providing us with recommendations for sights, restaurants and things to do. The condo was exactly as described with 2 beds and baths and had everything you might need to stay in or not in a breathtaking location on the River. It was peaceful and such a delight. I would stay again!

Upper Dells River Walk [1BR]
What a perfect place to enjoy downtown Dells! The location is ideal for walking the Riverwalk, taking a boat tour, enjoying the live music downtown, or whatever else you have in mind. The property grounds were well-kept, including a spotless outdoor pool. The unit itself was clean and comfortable, everything in good-working condition, and plenty of extras for things you might need. Alex messaged us early on our arrival day letting us know the unit was vacant and we could check in whenever we wanted - so nice! Highly recommend.

The Docksider for Couples & Young Families
Great location and very clean!

Beautiful Condo at Chula Vista!
This condo was very nice and comfortable for our group. Thanks Ryan
