Luxurious Country Retreat

We were part of the Cindy Geier family staying here for Thanksgiving this year. The house is beautiful, but could use a few improvements. For a house that accommodates 16 (and charges close to 1500/night) we were surprised at the sparse number of plates, cups, glasses and coffee mugs. There were 10 of us and 8 of us drink coffee. There were only 6 mugs found, no wine glasses. The bedrooms were sparsely decorated. I did not expect to stay in a professionally designed space, but when I am staying in the 2nd of 2 rooms with a king bed, I did expect something more than just a bed in the room. There were no bedside tables, no lamps, nothing on the floor in the second king bedroom but the bed. I appreciated the hangers in the closet, but prefer to have some sort of horizontal space for putting some of my items (purse, jewelry, phone to charge, book, etc.) We were also told there was a hairdryer in the house, but never found one. Fortunately a member of our group brought theirs so we shared. Towels, although available, were not stored in the hall closet or bathroom. We found them after looking in the laundry room. I have stayed in other VRBO's and am curious as to how the reviews are decided/posted. After reading them, it appears they are being extremely screened and only the best ones posted. OR the 'well equipped' nature of the house has changed. Again, beautiful house in a lovely setting, could just use a few improvements on the items available in the rooms.

The property had everything that we needed as a family to enjoy our stay and was just close enough to Madison to enjoy the football weekend and then retreat to the house for some quiet, family time. Would definitely reserve again and try to take advantage of all of the other amenities (i.e. sand volleyball) that we did not have a chance to take advantage of. Plus, Maggie, our host, was very responsive to our questions and easy to deal with.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property is large and has many wonderful features for hosting many other guests. Host was very prompt with communication responses, which we greatly appreciated. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing property This house is great and most of all clean! As a large family we have stayed in a lot of rentals and cant tell you how many never matched the pictures and are scary gross. This house is so nice, large and the property is gorgeous. We vacation in WI every summer and this house will be the house we always stay at now. The privacy and view are amazing yet you are still close to Madison and area to go out to eat/explore/get delivery etc. My kids had the time of their lives playing outside on the trampoline, playground and sand volleyball court. The host was also immediately responsive every time to my questions prior to arrival (we had no issues while there).

Fantastic Property Luxurious and spacious house on a large and beautiful piece of land. Was equipped with everything we could want. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay here again.

It was very nice place and the host was very responsive.

Girl Weekend This was an excellent location for our girls weekend trip. The house allowed us to have plenty of space for sleeping, enough bathrooms and the huge kitchen table was perfect for our card games. We did not have time to enjoy the lower level for games and movie watching. Host was very responsive. Would love to stay there again.

Amazing property Very comfortable for a family reunuion. Wish we had had more time to just enjoy the house.

Fantastic for large grpups! The property was great for a large group. Plenty of beds, baths, and spaces for everyone to use.
