About this house rental

The Rookery is a 4-bedroom, mid-century family home. John Turner built it for his growing family in 1949. His business was oil. There is still a Turner Oil Station on Highway 12. Many of the local residents still remember playing in the house as children. It was built with all the modern conveniences of the time, and has a spacious yet cozy feel. You'll find 4 bedrooms in the upstairs level: The master bedroom is an elegant room with a king-sized 4 poster bed, a cozy chair for reading, a huge closet, and a large chifferobe. The next room is a spacious queen room with a sleigh bed, vanity, large closet, and another beautiful chifferobe. Next is the twin room. It's perfect for kids or for those who prefer their own bed. Facing the back yard, this quiet room has 2 comfortable maple twin beds, and a large closet. The last bedroom is another queen room. It's cozy, quiet, and oh, so comfortable. Facing the east, it overlooks the large back yard, and greets you with a sunny "good morning." There is also a bathroom with tub and shower, vanity, and double sink. The main floor consists of a large living room with a gas fireplace, a formal dining room, cheery breakfast nook, fabulous mid-century kitchen, and a relaxing three-season sunroom. There is a video camera located outdoors.

We stayed with family for a short trip. Overall, it’s a nice old house. Although it’s on main road, it felt quiet as there was not a lot of traffic. It’s short drive to Devil’s lake state park where we went. We didn’t end up going to WI Dells but it’s close enough. We were able to check in early which was nice. Dining table was big enough to fit us. Living room had plenty of furniture for us to relax and chat. There were enough beds for us. Basement beds are both sofa beds. Wifi worked fine. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. Only drawback was that upstairs bathtub didn’t drain well so water would collect for a bit before draining out. Downstairs bathroom in basement worked fine. Kitchen was functional but small as expected with older houses.

House was beautiful. Enough room for all of us. There were only 7 adults and 2 children due to a last minute cancellation. Everybody enjoyed the convenience of being together, without being on top of each other. Were able to walk to most places.

The house was comfortably large in a small town neighborhood located 10 minutes from Devils Lake and 20 minutes from Wisconsin Dells. It is a beautiful and fun area and we enjoyed it.
