The house is super cute and so nicely decorated. You can tell the owners know what people need for a comfortable stay. They had everything we could need and the management service was very accommodating when we had a small issue.

The home was exactly what was pictured on website. Clean, organized, and nothing extra was needed to have a pleasurable stay. There was enough towels for a family of 7 and amenities to be able to comfortably return the property to its original condition when we had to leave. 10/10 would consider to rent again for next summer. Homely

Charming Home

The house was perfect for our family of five when we stayed in Baraboo for a wedding. The location is close to town, but very peaceful and quiet. We found everything we needed, including great coffee, a TV for streaming, and plenty of big fluffy towels. We had a great experience, and would definitely book again.

Overall a very nice property. Pictures were exactly how the place showed up. The only bummer was the garbage disposal wasn’t working and we had to fix it as the troubleshoot options didn’t work. There was also no body wash or shampoo in the downstairs bathroom. But everything else was good.

Beautiful Home

Such a wonderful home right up the street from downtown Baraboo. It was great for my wife and I, our toddler, my parents, and our pup! Plenty of common space for hanging out, including a beautiful porch. The walk into town is super quick, but it is a bit of a steep uphill coming home. Also easy access to Devil's Lake. We hope to stay here again in the future!

Charming and cozy home

This home is beautiful inside and out. The leaves were just starting to change, which made it even prettier. It’s close to everything, but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The house sits high on a hill and the views were amazing. The neighborhood it’s nestled in is very nice and I always felt safe. Highly recommend this house as a lovely place to stay.

Birthday

Coffee and things in the fridge were expired. Corners and under furniture did not seem cleaned for a while. Needed a warning about turning on the heat in upstairs bedrooms as the central heat did not seem to bring heat into the upstairs bedrooms. (Doors were closed when we arrived making it so so cold)

Not a comfortable house!

The house a big disappointment. There is a big bug/critter problem all around and no proper “partial A/C” units in the rooms. I took this house because I needed to make sure it was a comfortable house as I had a family trip planned with my in-laws who are elderly, disabled and have other conditions. I specifically asked questions to the representative from Vacasa to make sure they would accommodate my guests but it was far far from comfortable. We all woke up with bug bites especially my kids upstairs and the AC units DO NOT work as they should! It was a vacation we were all looking forward to that ended badly and I will never book through Vacasa!!!

Not quite what I was expecting.

This place has a great location in relation to Wisconsin Dells. However, upon arrival we were greeted with cobwebs, dust on the fans, dirt on the floor, filthy air-filters on the air conditioner units, stained and slimy shower curtain, spiders in the upstairs bathroom and a sign by the sink that stated if we wanted our plates, cups and silverware to be sanitary we needed to wash anything before we used it. For the price we paid for a weeks stay this place was beyond pathetic. Oh, and don't forget that they didn't make it a priority to let you know that this place DOES NOT come with a washer or dryer on the property. How inconvenient is that for a family of 6, coin operated in the listing means "go find a launder mat down the street." We were not given enough TP, paper towels or Kleenex. We mentioned all this and they sent out a cleaning lady who stayed for 5 minutes and complained the whole time she was there. The hot tub area was covered with bird droppings, leaves, weeds and dirt was everywhere. We wanted our kids to be able to use this area so it was up to us to sweep, clean and hose down the entire area before use. All I can say is that for the cleaning fee we were charged we felt cheated. So, needless to say our expectations were NOT met at this property. Word to the wise-look at all reviews and all the small print before booking.
