    We stayed at this property a year ago and liked it enough to return. The house is clean and the pictures are accurate. The beds are very comfortable. We had two issues this time. The first we took care of ourselves - cleaning the basement toilet bowl which had a lot of black lining the bowl. The second was the total absence of the host. I called the phone number in the welcome book and found the number was no longer operable. I called the number that was on the listing and got the same response. If we had a significant issue we would have been in our own. That is the main reason why we chose a different house for our reunion next year.

    My Son is getting married soon. His request for me and his brothers (wedding crew) was to fly fish the Wisconsin River for Muskie and Smalles mission complete. The stay in this VRBO made the difference between an always great time with my sons to (to date) the most memorable. The house is warming and comfortable. Big yard for games, and a fish fry at the Eagles club couple blocks away.We’ll be back.

    I stayed here with my boyfriend and a few of his friends for a bowling tournament. It is such a beautiful home! We all loved the boat kitchen island and have now decided we want one at home too! Thank you for such a great place to stay!

    Great 3br home on a dead end street. We had 6 adults and 2 under 2. The bedrooms were big to accomodate pack-n-play sleeping for the littles. Open floor plan to move about. Full kitchen with all the utensils, cookware and dishes you would need. It was nice to have the breezeway to store extra luggage, chairs and boxes. There was a toilet and shower in the basement. The yard was big and flat. Patio furniture clean and comfy. Walking distance to DC Park boat ramp and Eagles Club bar, if that is part of the vacation plan. The pier was sturdy and in great shape. This was a great place. We all agreed we would stay here again.
