Situated in New Berlin, this charming house for $1,200 per night is a great option for your next trip. The Garden of Eden is a one of a kind oasis that will create memories that your friends, family, organizations and coworkers will talk about for decades to come. Trying to describe this 6000 sf 6 br, 7 bath home and it’s 17 secluded acres of forest and lake will leave you scratching your head. Let’s start with the obvious… Outside: This is a nature lovers paradise. It starts with the long private driveway that is draped with beautiful trees creating a canopy that says, “Welcome to the Garden of Eden.” You will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere even though you are just a short drive from Chicago and Milwaukee. The 3.5 acre spring fed lake is stocked with a ton of fish for catch and release. So whether your child or grandchild is catching their first fish or you are a seasoned angler, you will have a great time. We also have canoes, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and many more water toys to make the most of the warmer months. See if you can spot the family of beavers living on the island. The sandy beach is great for kids and adults alike. Many toys for kids and floaties will be provided. There are fire pits and s’more kits included so that you can eat and sing around the crackling fire while gazing up at the Northern Sky. Throughout the property there are fish ponds and beautiful wooden bridges to get around. Thinking about grilling? Fire up our gas grill and make a feast that your group never forgets. There is so much more to the outside but we will let the rest be a surprise when you show up. Let’s talk about the house… it was one of the most viral homes ever on Zillow and has been featured in numerous TV shows and many other media outlets. The great room of the home will transport you into another dimension. You might feel like you are visiting your favorite Rainforest Cafe, or possibly entering into a scene from Jamangi, or maybe even your childhood memories of the Flintstones. Whatever the case may be, any stress of the world will be melted away by the warmth of the sun being exposed through the 20 foot southern facing windows and sky lights. Whether you are watching the coy fish swim in the ponds, spending time under the banana trees, or Googling all the varieties of live plants, this is truly a special place. Right off the great room is the most unique indoor pool you have ever experienced. With a depth of around 5 feet this pool is perfect for kids and adults alike and will provide hours of fun rain or shine and warm or cold. We keep the pool around 78-82 degrees. With all that playing you will probably start to get hungry. Our fully stocked kitchen is ready to meet your culinary needs whether that is a gourmet meal or some frozen pizzas. We have invested over $20,000 upgrading all kitchen appliances to ensure an amazing cooking experience. Seating for 16 around the dining room and kitchen will allow for great conversations and many laughs. Be sure to pay attention to the 16 hand made custom butterfly chairs. They are truly one of a kind. Right off the kitchen/dining area is a first floor bedroom with en-suite bathroom for those who want to be close to the food or might have some mobility issues. There are 4 separate staircases leading up to the second level. Heading upstairs you will be greeted by 5 bedrooms. Each is quirkier and more unique than the previous. High end boutique hotel like linens and pillows are used in each bedroom so you can be confident that you will enjoy a peaceful night’s rest. Upstairs you will also find a TV room to watch your favorite movie or cheer on your sports team with a complimentary YouTube TV subscription. In that area there will be an epic game room with many games to compete with your friends and family. In the game and TV room there will also be a kitchenette for snacks and an authentic vintage popcorn maker with all the fixings to make it feel like an actual movie theater. Do you like card and board games? We got you covered there with over 50 games to choose from. Every inch of these 17 acres and 6000 sf are designed to create fun and special memories. After a few tough years during the pandemic I think we can all agree that memories created WITH friends and loved ones are some of life’s greatest joys and blessing that are more valuable than any amount of money. Tessa and I (Dustin) would be honored to have you as our guests. If you have questions or special requests please reach out and ask. You will feel like you are away from the city but in reality you are so close. We are 20 minutes from downtown Milwaukee and 90 minutes from the north side of Chicago. There is a Costco, Target, Walmart, and many other grocery stores within a 7 minute drive of our home. A special note from the owners: Tessa and I are obsessed with creating high end luxury experiences for large groups of people. This obsession has allowed us (at the time of this listing) to never have anything but a perfect 5 star review on any of our properties. We are currently in the process of putting an incredible amount of time, resources, and passion into updates and special features that our guests deserve. With a property of this size and magnitude it’s not an overnight process and we will continue to evolve and improve it over time based off our guests feedback. We have three kids three and under so we equip our homes with ALL the things you need for babies and toddlers (pack and play, high chair, bowls/plates/cups, and life jackets, but please be aware there is significant amount of water inside and outside of the home that could cause serious consequences to young kids if not supervised, so consider that before booking. With the custom design of this home there are many uneven and hard surfaces you could land on if you tripped and fell. The pool isn’t your typical standard pool and the surrounding pool deck is small and prone to being slippery when when wet.
