About this house rental

Located on 20 acres in the Helvetia Township, this vintage hobby farm provides wooded land, marsh, fields, and 650 feet of lake frontage for every type of activity. Relax by the wood fireplace on the main floor, sit outside and watch the stars, or enjoy a stroll throughout the wooded trails trimmed for your enjoyment. One guest shared, "I didn't know places like this existed anymore."

With 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms and just under 2,000 square feet of space there is plenty of room for the whole family, or a spacious retreat for a couple.

Centrally Located:
- Just outside of Iola, WI. Approximately 4 miles to the Iola Old Car Show Grounds; convenience of a nearby grocery store.
- 18 miles to downtown Waupaca, WI, or 20 miles to the Chain of Lakes.
- 27 miles to downtown Stevens Point, WI

Special Note: In order to maintain this special and well kept 1908 farmhouse we kindly ask that pets stay outdoors, guests smoke outside, and everyone removes their shoes while indoors (thank you in advance!). We love this home, and think you will too - all floors are hand washed and the place is spotless on arrival ensuring you have a cozy and comfortable stay with all the amenities you could need.

This was the perfect getaway and our first VRBO experience. Dan and Kathy were communicative, honest, and easy. The fish were biting non-stop (your mileage may vary, but live bait was getting us serious pan fish). The house is tasteful and relaxing, while the property was large and private. It was comfortable, easy, and just what we were looking for. We were looking to take our family out of the city for a week of privacy, fishing, and no stress. We found it. It reminded me of childhood fishing trips, but with a hottub and wifi. I'd be happy to go back, and I definitely recommend this place to others.
