Poynette, Wisconsin
Oooh, look! Here’s an awesome cottage right across the street from the Wisconsin River. Relaxation and “re-creation” are what you’ll find here with plenty of fresh air, sunshine and river views. The home is located on nearly an acre of land with open yard space to stargaze by the fire pit as well as mature trees perfect for bird, deer, woodchuck and squirrel watching from the patio.
OK! What about the house Here’s the lowdown: Three bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, sleeps 8. First floor master has a queen bed, walk in closet and a great view. The ensuite sports a double vanity, honed Italian marble floors and huge tile shower.
Lower level has 2 bedrooms with a queen bed in one and two twins in the other. Family room with futon leads out to the patio with gas fire pit/table for light conversation and morning coffee. Another full bath and laundry room are also located on the lower level. Family room has books, games and a projection tv with BlueRay player and is wi-fi capable.
Back upstairs, we have the fully equipped eat-in kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and center island with stools to gather around and give helpful cooking tips to whoever’s making dinner…”Letting the brats sit in the beer before grilling will dry them out.” Whatever Nancy, whatever!
Next to the kitchen is the living room with a gorgeous gas fireplace, vaulted ceiling and an incredible picture window with views of the river. Smart tv (Roku) above the fireplace has an antenna for local stations (doesn't work well) but is wi-fi capable for you to sign on with your various accounts – DISH On The Go, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc . We do not have cable!!
Outside we have a gas grill to throw those brats on along with a picnic table, lawn chairs and a bunch of yard games. Further out in the yard there’s a big fire pit to toast marshmallows over. Wood is available for purchase on the honor system.
The property was lovely however it lacks a dining area. The huge, unnecessary walk-in closet in the master bedroom could easily be half the size as well as the adjacent foyer closet to make room for a table and chairs. There are no blinds or curtains on the front picture windows or in the master bedroom so the bedroom at night never gets dark and the sun comes up around 4 a.m. There's a motion sensor light that goes on and off most nights, too. More towel hooks or racks are desperately needed. It's as if the remodel wasn't quite finished. The half bath really needs a new toilet. If your poop lands too far up the bowl, it won't flush without pouring water into the bowl to dislodge the deposit. This has nothing to do with the house being connected to a septic tank. And those friendly neighbors, aren't! Guy who lives across the street did nothing but glare at us every time we drove past, even when we waved. Overall, it was a good trip but there were several small things that could have made it better.
Very lovely cottage! Kitchen has everything you need to bake/cook for a family. Beds are so comfy and everything was spotless.
Our family enjoyed arriving and staying at this property. The pictures were accurate but also didn’t do the place justice. Even the hard to impress teens were very happy with the house layout and finishings. This was a comfortable stay for us and a nice place to return to after a long day on the slopes!
This was the perfect place for our family to gather together for the holidays.
A newly constructed house with everything you might need.
The house was perfect for our small group on our ski getaway to Cascade Mt. The house was very clean, organized, and stocked with the essentials. We loved sitting by the fire chatting and playing games. We would definitely recommend!
