This grand, spacious historic home located on beautiful grounds was a lovely setting for our family reunion. There was LOTS of room to spread out with many nooks for individuals to do a quiet activity, as well as larger areas where we could all gather. We especially loved the large, light-filled room (conservatory -- a glassed-in porch of sorts) that offered beautiful views of the lake. It also included a large table where our group of 12 could all eat together in a more casual setting than in the formal dining room. Joan responded extremely promptly to the few small things that came up during our stay (though there were a couple of times prior to our visit that I had to ask a question multiple times before getting a response). There were places in the home that needed some TLC -- a surprise given the premium price we paid. Overall, though, they didn't diminish our enjoyment during our stay. I provided a detailed list of these items to Joan, who assured me that they would follow up promptly to remedy them. We enjoyed some beautiful, wooded hiking options in nearby Kettle Moraine State Forest. There was also much to do in and around the home that kept all generations happy.

We loved the mansion. My grandkids especially liked the heated pool and hot tub. The sandy beach was great and many fish were caught off the pier. Joan, the authorized agent, answered any and all questions. Wonderful place and personnel.

This has become an annual trip and this house is the staple of it. There are so many options, from the yard, to the pool/jacuzzi/hot tub, to the firepit and lake area for everyone to hang out and have a great time! Can't wait til next year!

This house was not ready for renters. Some of the bathrooms did not have towels. We found towels, washed them, but could not dry them as dryer was not working. This was replaced the next day. The pool could not be used due to chemicals needing adjustment, which was done the next day. The diswasher top rack needs repair. It collaspsed each time it was opened. The internet was weak or non existent. Our working people had to go downtown to work on Friday. Spectrum came the last night without our permission. We were out for dinner and came back to find a man in the house, who got in by the owner. Really violated our rights. Security cameras are used, but again we were not informed about these. The extra refrig freezer was iced up solid and not useable. As was the free standing chest freezer. Drawers in the kitchen were filled with miscellaneous junk. Lack of flatwear was a problem. Had to get plastic knives and forks.
