Excellent place for our family to stay while gathering together from Northern Wisconsin and Central Illinois. Lots of space. We particularly enjoyed that there were enough bedrooms for everyone, enough table space both for serving and sitting and even two living areas for everyone to spread out and enjoy different games and activities. Beds are low and firm; our family was split on this element of our review. Plenty of bath towels. Sheets were very soft. Neighborhood is quiet. Plenty of parking for multiple vehicles. House was not cluttered with decoratives, so it was easy to keep track of our belongings. With multiple family members, it was a bonus to have two showers and three bathroom sinks.
I believe we stayed here in this property’s infancy, so here are a few suggestions only mentioned to improve an already great experience: some additional hooks for hanging towels in the bathroom would be helpful. To improve the first impression upon arrival, trimming of the bushes and removal of the ragged flag out front would make a big difference; perhaps the exterior improvements will be made more easily in the spring. Place settings for more than 8 people (more than what the house can sleep) would allow for serving plates, cooking plates, prep plates before “running out” or needing to run the dishwasher. An extra blanket would be helpful in the closet for those who are colder at night. We’ve also seen “Welcome Binders” at other VRBO’s that is helpful upon arrival with information in it such as local attractions, wi-fi password, departure instructions, etc. But the host was very quickly responsive with answering these types of questions for us!
Overall, our family was very pleased with our stay. We were more than comfortable, did not feel at all crowded, were happy to have a great space to play games, cook meals and spend time together, and would most definitely book here again!
