    • Gather around the custom outdoor firepit
    • Host game night in the indoor game room and poker/darts in the lower level
    • Enjoy cooking and dining together in the chef-style kitchen and spacious dining areas

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This home was spacious, well laid out and very well stocked. We selected this Home for our family vacation with our 3 children and grandchildren. It was perfect. Each family had plenty of room along with great spaces for entertainment and also little ones to play. The garage was set up with an assortment of games.(ping-pong, beanbags toss and a basketball free-throw game.) The Property is very close to Castle rock Lake and about a 25 minute drive from the Wisconsin Dells. It was a great location. We really enjoyed our vacation in this beautiful home.
