    The house is super cute and so nicely decorated. You can tell the owners know what people need for a comfortable stay. They had everything we could need and the management service was very accommodating when we had a small issue.

    Overall a very nice property. Pictures were exactly how the place showed up. The only bummer was the garbage disposal wasn’t working and we had to fix it as the troubleshoot options didn’t work. There was also no body wash or shampoo in the downstairs bathroom. But everything else was good.

    The home was exactly what was pictured on website. Clean, organized, and nothing extra was needed to have a pleasurable stay. There was enough towels for a family of 7 and amenities to be able to comfortably return the property to its original condition when we had to leave. 10/10 would consider to rent again for next summer. Homely

    The house was absolutely charming. It was newly remodeled and everything was in great condition. Dishes, knives, and silverware was also new. Loved the location, plus the outdoor privacy!

    Coffee and things in the fridge were expired. Corners and under furniture did not seem cleaned for a while. Needed a warning about turning on the heat in upstairs bedrooms as the central heat did not seem to bring heat into the upstairs bedrooms. (Doors were closed when we arrived making it so so cold)

    Perfect for the 7 sisters to bond for the weekend Only drawback was initially finding our way into it and then when our pizza delivery person also had a difficulty finding us. Otherwise nice location for walking to the downtown area for shopping , food and drinks.

    The house a big disappointment. There is a big bug/critter problem all around and no proper “partial A/C” units in the rooms. I took this house because I needed to make sure it was a comfortable house as I had a family trip planned with my in-laws who are elderly, disabled and have other conditions. I specifically asked questions to the representative from Vacasa to make sure they would accommodate my guests but it was far far from comfortable. We all woke up with bug bites especially my kids upstairs and the AC units DO NOT work as they should! It was a vacation we were all looking forward to that ended badly and I will never book through Vacasa!!!

    Awesome home with lots of character. House was clean and accommodated to our family of four with no issues. Great host with top notch customer service. Close to downtown Baraboo and restaurants and shops.

    This place has a great location in relation to Wisconsin Dells. However, upon arrival we were greeted with cobwebs, dust on the fans, dirt on the floor, filthy air-filters on the air conditioner units, stained and slimy shower curtain, spiders in the upstairs bathroom and a sign by the sink that stated if we wanted our plates, cups and silverware to be sanitary we needed to wash anything before we used it. For the price we paid for a weeks stay this place was beyond pathetic. Oh, and don't forget that they didn't make it a priority to let you know that this place DOES NOT come with a washer or dryer on the property. How inconvenient is that for a family of 6, coin operated in the listing means go find a launder mat down the street. We were not given enough TP, paper towels or Kleenex. We mentioned all this and they sent out a cleaning lady who stayed for 5 minutes and complained the whole time she was there. The hot tub area was covered with bird droppings, leaves, weeds and dirt was everywhere. We wanted our kids to be able to use this area so it was up to us to sweep, clean and hose down the entire area before use. All I can say is that for the cleaning fee we were charged we felt cheated. So, needless to say our expectations were NOT met at this property. Word to the wise-look at all reviews and all the small print before booking.
