Lakeside 5 Bedrooms Hot tub & Pier
Absolutely worth the stay. The view of the water is beautiful and the place is spotless. I’ve recommended it to a few people already. I’ve never done that so fast with an Airbnb. The location is great close to all the shops of Lake Geneva. The hosts were beyond fantastic and responsive. Thank you. We’ll be back later in the summer

Ground level Poolside Villa on Lake Delton
Everything was really nice, and the binder has some interesting stuff to check out.

Relaxing 3 Bedroom Cabin with Hot Tub and Scenery
Absolutely loved spending our 13 year anniversary here! Got to do a lot of bird watching, trail walking and hot tubbing. Enjoyed going to the local state parks and recreation areas and eating in Argyle. Would definitely recommend and want to come back again!

2BR Serene Riverfront • Spacious • Pool & Hot Tub
We loved our getaway to the Dells. If you've ever been there, you know how busy it is. The condo was just blocks from the hustle and bustle but felt like a world away—peaceful and relaxing! It was spotless and very comfortable. The four teens we brought along loved 'their room'. We loved that the couch was big enough to accommodate us all!

The stay with the story
Great people. We had a swift check-in and were welcomed by a beautiful space that provides absolute privacy. Could have been better if it was warm so you can enjoy the enormous space around the property. Can be suitable for retreats, intimate wedding venue.

Our Sweet Retreat is waiting for you
This home was very cute and very comfortable. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The home is well stocked with everything you need. The neighborhood is super peaceful. Lake is just down the street with 2 small park areas with swings/play equipment for the kids. There are also 3 restaurants along the lake with one in walking distance. Downtown Lake Geneva is minutes away. We had a very nice and peaceful time.

Geneva Suite |1st Floor |Walk to Lake|
Our family of three adults was in town for a speech and debate tournament and Samantha's place was a perfect place for us to relax and rest. Very convenient location.

Beautifully home with 5 bedrooms
Our FAVORITE place to stay as a family. What a pleasant surprise—tons of toys for the kids, a Nintendo Wii (with Wii Sports), an arcade console, pong pong and pool! Plus all four kids had their own bed. Newly renovated space with all new amenities. So great!!!

Hot Tub-Dog friendly-fire tables-pools
We enjoyed our stay! The place was clean, charming, cozy and comfortable, and as described. Plus there were several welcome hospitality touches. We really enjoyed the outdoor space - deck, hot tub, view, etc. The location was quiet and peaceful. Doreen's communications were always prompt and she provided timely, helpful information. We would definitely stay again and recommend the place and working with Doreen.

Charming country home - great vacation area.
We were staying in down for a family emergency, so our plans kept changing. Carol was so flexible and helpful when we needed to extend our stay. The rental was clean, accessible, and private. Really made my rough week a little less chaotic.

Grandma's House: Spring is Springing!
Seamless process, comfortable home, very close to skiing. A private and peaceful country home.

Holy Cow! New Glarus Guest Haus
the Holy Cow Guest Haus was a perfect location - we didn't use our cars once they were parked and were able to walk to everywhere we went in New Glarus! Lots of wonderful local spots to eat/drink/shop nearby. Teri was flexible about our arrival time and had a binder of menus and local suggestions to page through!

Doty ★ Walk to Everything -Hotel Quality- Downtown
Nice spot, amazing location. We slept 6 for a conference and it worked out. Recommended.

Home away from home, close to historic square
I was in Monroe for a funeral and to spend time with my friends. Morgan's place gave me a peaceful, private environment, which is exactly what I needed for my stay. The house is well kept, clean, with plenty of light and comfortable. The roof over the parking area next to house provided cover from the rain when coming and going and was especially appreciated when packing and unpacking things from the car. The neighborhood was quiet and conveniently located to everything in town and roads to other areas. Morgan communicated well with me from the time of my reservation to when I contacted him on my departure. He was responsive, helpful and courteous. Staying at Morgan's place was a great experience and cost about the same as one room with a queen bed in a near by hotel, which couldn't provide the peace and privacy I enjoyed. If you're staying in the Monroe area, I highly recommend you book Morgan's place for your stay!

Spring has sprung at Beach Garden Bungalow!
Great house and close to Cascade mountain. Very clean. Bedrooms were nice. Lots of options for games or movies. Quiet neighborhood. Host was responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend

Beautiful Oconomowoc Log Home on 5.7 acres
John and Sue were sooo sweet!! She made us a giant tub of delicious granola which our family devoured with our fruit and yogurt. He gave us a tour of the cabin and where to find things. We had our family's children for lunch and they LOVED the game room! The cabin is BEAUTIFULLY decorated and I loved the cabin theme throughout the entire house, including the bathroom. In addition to all of that, my family LOVED the peace of the cabin both inside and out.

✧Driftless Chalet✧ Secluded cabin on 5 acres
Molly and Brian’s cabin was super cute and secluded, perfect for a little getaway from the city! Tons of lowkey hiking, architectural hotspots (some great Frank Lloyd-Wright history — including his original gravestone!) and weird tourist traps within driving distance. This area is great for casual birdwatching and the owners even provide binoculars to help! We had a great time and will definitely be back soon!

Private Baraboo Bluffs Cabin with Peacocks!
We had an amazing stay at the cabin! Kristen was very helpful and responsive. The place was very cozy and peaceful. The peacock was a major highlight during the stay!

The Retreat: 5 Acre Log Cabin
Omg!!! All I can say, it's well worth it. The place is BEAUTIFUL, Yecenia put so much thought in decorating. You don't need to bring anything, but your change of clothes. Everything you need is there. Yecenia thank you so much, for taking the time and effort to make your guests feel at home. I'm definitely coming back, and please whoever book this airbnb, treat the place as if it's your home.
