Family Weekend Retreat

Beautiful Country Lakefront setting! Large yard. Peaceful, yet still close to neighboring homes & short driving to local attractions & towns. So many extras with this property and a very kind & accommodating host! Unique & lovely spiral staircase feature to all 4 second level bedrooms (plus outdoor straight staircase to master bedroom balcony/deck) Games, Books, Video Library + abundant TV channels, fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grilling area, firepit, paddle boats and kayaks. We traveled to visit an elderly relative who resides in the local area...we invited them over for a meal and their wheelchair easily had access to the main floor living room/kitchen/dining open floor plan. A good time was enjoyed by all as we shared memories, food and laughs! The teenagers and young adults absolutely LOVED the kayaks and paddle boats! They could have stayed on the water all weekend! The lake offers much to explore and the mid-October weather was beautiful! We also enjoyed time shopping/dining locally in Fox Lake, Beaver Dam and Columbus...and a creative craft/art session at the "Art On The Town" studio in Beaver Dam. After each day's activities out & about we enjoyed a good rest in the comfortable beds and were ready for the next adventure! ,,,inspired by all of the travel decor and collection of world globes in the home!

Renter Beware-we were accused of stealing a paddle boat

Honest review. Kathy had to come in to measure floors upstairs during our stay. not sure why this was not done outside of our stay or why she didn't know the square footage of her home. Upstairs bathroom leaked into downstairs bathroom one day. I could not get ahold of Kathy via text or phone and she did not respond until 12:20am. Thankful it wasn't worse. We found 3 year old food left in the kitchen that I threw away: pancake mix and mayo that expired in 2021. We did enjoy using the kayaks, paddle board, and paddle boats as well as I brought my own kayak. We enjoyed fishing also. We only let the kids swim off one dock as the other one has a motor with exposed spinning blades on it and did not want the kids too close to this. Kathy asked me to leave a 5 star review and if there was any reason I couldn't. I told her I thought I could. That changed today. I had a phone call & text from Kathy on 7/25/24 in the morning asking me to call her ASAP. I asked what it was in regards to as I was working. She responded at 3am on 07/26 advising something had went missing but it was found. She had filed a claim but it would not affect me as I had taken insurance out. I rec'd an email today for theft of a paddle boat. Not sure why/how she thought I had taken this or how it was "misplaced" as she has cameras everywhere & we stacked them neatly. Seems sketchy & VRBO can't advise if claim was cancelled or not. Sounds like a way to pay for new flooring by filing a false claim.

SO well-equipped, Great hostess

There are some rentals where they give you barely enough (i.e. 3 towels, 12 knives, 4 spoons, and 1 fork) but that is NOT this rental. This rental seriously has MORE than ANYTHING you could need. We appreciated the abundance of towels/washcloths, eating utensils, outdoor seating, etc. The owner shares the duplex and should anything go wrong, I am confident she would make it right. She is a delightful person and wants to make sure your visit is more than you expect. She is very accommodating when plans change. And the VIEW! Loved looking out on the water and listening to all the birds. So relaxing, peaceful, and wonderful. Was a fantastic property to visit with our family, which was the whole point of our visit to WI. LOVED it all!

Low Cleanliness Standards

My family would like just to forget this trip and move on, but I am writing this review because I wish someone had left a truthful review so that we had never gone there. Kathy told us in the private messages if we leave a bad review, she would trash us in her reply so other owners would not want to rent to us. We have date stamped pictures to support our complaints. When we arrived the place was filthy. We called, and when she arrived, Kathy insisted that the house was clean, she cleaned it herself, and had no idea where the hair and dirt came from. We weighed our options: turn around and go home; go to a hotel for the night, and give Kathy a chance to clean; clean it ourselves and ask for a partial refund. She offered to refund the cleaning fee (she didn’t), and go to hotel at our own expense. But we had no confidence that she would clean because she kept insisting that she cleaned and sanitized the house before we arrived. My whole family spent 3 hours cleaning, and it was disgusting. There was dust, dirt and debris on the floors, hair on the bathroom floor, the toilet bowl had residue of the previous residents stuck to the inside. The kitchen was equally disgusting. We made the best of a bad situation and managed to enjoy a few days of our only family vacation. Later Kathy accused us of stealing her kitchen tools, letting our dog pee on the towels, extorting money out of her, and having too high of a "pucker factor".

50th Reunion Fun!

We were so grateful to find this VRBO for our 50th class reunion in Beaver Dam. We were looking for a place large enough to comfortably sleep four spirited gals who prefer to avoid a hotel any time we can! We booked this a year in advance and then didn't worry about it again until a few weeks before our event and it worked out just fine! The property is on the lake, which was great for photos, and the outdoor deck was perfect for morning coffee and girl talk! We didn't spend much time there except for evenings and there were plenty of bedrooms to allow each of us our own room. Access to the home was by code, so access after our reunion celebrations each night were simple and required no need to search for keys. You'll find the host, Kathy, to be available should you need anything, and she enjoys sharing a conversation or two about her interesting adventures in life and her own entrepreneurship experiences! She even shared some fresh 'sweet treats' with us to enjoy with our morning coffee. We were aware that her home has a unique spiral staircase ( also great for photos), but had to laugh when it came time to transport luggage up and down......we are women and have a lot of stuff! Beds include all linens and the kitchen is fully stocked with coffee and coffee maker (not k-cups) and most dishes and cookware you'll need during your stay. We did have some trouble figuring out the shower water system, but she is in process of replacing faucets and that should take care of the issue. We think you'll enjoy this VRBO for whatever event brings you to Dodge County! Check out Derge Park and Zigs Parkside Bar and Grill when you're in the area too, since both are very close and are a part of Beaver Dam history!
