The Johnsburg Estate is a great place for a larger group to hang out. The home has a lovely area to gather all together, as well as many nooks and rooms for individuals to get some down time. The home comes equipped with all you need for a great time away, and the hot tub and lake views were amazing for winter! The owner is super responsive and was very helpful to us!

The host responded quickly to any questions we had. The house definitely let our family spread out for a birthday weekend celebration. Kitchen amenities were abundant and plenty of seating for meals and games. Hot tub warmed us up during the cold three night stay. Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy all the outside amenities.

Great Location. Roomy, with Bonus Lakefront!!

This is a fantastic property. We had a group of about 20, and were all able to sleep in beds! The large room and large TV screen meant that our meetings and group games were wonderful. Having the large back yard, lakefront, and the kayaks made it perfect.

Very nice stay

Our group of 11 business colleagues were very happy with the property. There is space for privacy, and also for gatherings and meetings. We really appreciated the rapid communication with the host, and never waited more than a few minutes for a response from him - we will be happy to stay here again in the future. The view of the lake was peaceful, the house was clean and well-outfitted.

Fantastic

Can't speak to what's nearby or anything, but the place itself was fantastic. Easy check-in, great amenities and plenty of space, and a beautiful property. Great kitchens for cooking huge group meals and the lake and everything was fantastic, I loved going out on the lake a little in the kayak, the chairs out by the water were a wonderful touch, we had a great night grilling, too! Just fantastic all around, couldn't have asked for a better place to hang out and catch up with the folks I care about.

We had a fantastic stay! The host was very accommodating and made check-in incredibly easy—allowing us to arrive much earlier than the usual time, which we really appreciated. The property layout was perfect for our group, with a separate unit that offered added privacy for some family members. The kitchen was impressively stocked, including three refrigerators and all the pots, pans, utensils, and plates we needed (though the can openers didn’t work, it wasn’t a big deal).The hot tub was warm and inviting, and the outdoor space was perfect for both kids and adults to play and relax. We loved the lake view and the spacious playground area. The game room with table tennis and a pool table, plus other indoor games, added even more fun. Beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of towels and toiletries provided.Overall, this was a super comfortable and well-equipped home that made our large group trip smooth and memorable. We would absolutely love to return in the future!

Great house for large gatherings - a bed for everyone!

Our extended family (ages 2 - 85) gathered here for a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. The weather was cold, so thank goodness we had such a comfortable and spacious house to stay in. It was perfect for us and incredible that we had 22 people all sleeping in beds! The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking great meals. The open living / dining / sitting area with large gas fireplace worked great for all of us being together, while doing any combination of playing cards and games, doing crafts, eating, watching a movie, chit chatting, etc. We also had a blast playing pool, foos ball, and ping pong in the large garage (with a space heater provided). The whole property is quite beautiful and private. We'd love to come back in the summer when we can take advantage of being on the lake and playing on all the outdoor courts. The host was friendly and great on communication. We loved it here!

Very clean and well-kept house. You won’t believe how quiet and peaceful the place is until you experience it in person. The full-size basketball and volleyball courts were a great bonus, and we really enjoyed them. The firepit by the lake made the evenings even better. I never thought much about Johnsburg before, but honestly, I liked this place even more than Lake Geneva. Brian is a great host, very accommodative .

We rented this home for our kids’ prom weekend, and it could not have been more perfect. The house had absolutely everything we needed for the kids to have an amazing and memorable time. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out, relax, and enjoy the weekend, and the property was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described.The amenities were fantastic and kept everyone entertained all weekend long. The kids especially loved the kayaks, foosball table, pool table, and ping pong table. It truly felt like there was something for everyone.The owner was incredibly responsive, helpful, and wonderful to work with from start to finish. Any questions we had were answered right away, which made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.We truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the home and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and well-equipped place for a group getaway or special occasion.

We had a group of 12 guys for our annual guys trip. We had such a good time, and it was such an awesome property. There are multiple wings of the house and also a separated bunk room so there was plenty of room and everyone was able to have a good level of privacy. Just a huge property with so much to do and wish we had more time to get to it all!

Clean, fully equipped with sporting/recreational stuff, loads of bedrooms and bathrooms. The only real negative is that almost all the bathrooms are attached to bedrooms. Pickle ball, basketball, cornhole, volleyball, pool table, kayaks, all great. Perfect for a large group.
