Beautiful home on Castle Rock Lake. The house was a great space for our family to spend the weekend! Plenty of room for our family of 18 adults and kids. Lots of games for the kids in the lower level!
We celebrated our parents' 60th wedding anniversary by getting everyone together from 4 different states. The house was beautiful, spacious, and full of entertainment options for everyone. We had a wonderful time.
Truly a gem for a large family getaway. We hosted three generations for a reunion, and there was ample space for everyone and plenty of activities between the lake and game room. And the three season porch was a huge hit! Would absolutely come back.
We had a great stay at this rental house over the weekend with multiple families – there was plenty of space for everyone. The house was very clean and well-maintained, and the owner was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Being in a wooded area, the bugs were really bad (hard to spend any time in the evenings outside), but that’s to be expected in such a natural setting. Overall, a wonderful experience!
21 ladies all family we enjoyed our stay so much this house was so beautiful and perfect for our group. Plenty of sleeping room and bathrooms which is so key with that many ladies. The large kitchen and entertainment spaces were awesome to have.This is an annual trip for us we will be back.
We had 15 people from age 13-85 gathered for our family vacation. Check-in was easy, parking plentiful, the house was sparkling clean, and the kitchen well appointed. Our whole family could sit around the table. We used every inch of the property- the screen porch, fire pit, game room, the lake, and the trails.
Our only suggestion would be adding a door to the basement or some soundproofing for the game room. We had a wonderful week. Thank you.
Great property with excellent appliances/furnishings, a well appointment kitchen and a great location (including nearby swimming "coves"). Easy check in and out. The owner is very responsive
The house is great for a big crowd. The game room in the basement is awesome, and the location on the lake is great. We had trouble with wifi and some other questions--the host was responsive and available. Very fun spot for a family reunion.
This property is very well appointed. The kitchen has enough equipment to serve a large group. Plenty of space and beautiful views. We would definitely come back again.
Our multigenerational (6 mo to late 70s) large (19) multifamily family recently stayed for extended weekend and could not recommend it more highly
property had an outstanding ambience inside and out. Plenty of stuff for people of all ages to do. A chefs kitchen (supply your own chef). Very near all the stuff you want to do in the Dells but outside the madness.
My siblings and their spouses enjoyed a wonderful time at the beautiful spacious house. There are multiple gathering areas. My sisters stated that it was the best stocked kitchen they have seen in a vacation home. We especially enjoyed the massive screened in porch. We were able to take a nice hike along the lake. The path to the dam is just steps outside the back of the property.
Every year my family and I plan a trip with all the kids to a lake house. This one did not disappoint. The layout is perfect for entertaining and has everything you need to keep the kids busy. Loved hanging out on the deck and by the fire pit at night. There is a nice trail alongside the lake that we walked one morning. Jason was awesome and made everything very easy for us. If you are looking for a relaxing weekend I would definitely recommend checking this place out.
Me and my friends had the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful brand new house during the 4th of July weekend . The house is very spacious, perfect for large groups /multi family . The kids loved the bunk beds and the game machines in the basement. The adults enjoyed fishing (1 min walk-in distance) and the “screened in patio “ (no mosquitoes bites ) .
Not too far (2,3 miles) we were able to lunch the boat/jet skis which was a big plus for us .
The house overall is gorgeous with lots of beautiful modern touches , will definitely stay again in the future .
The owner was very helpful with all the questions we had .
Our family vacation in your new house was wonderful. This house was as beautiful as the photos on VRBO, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we could have needed, except a Keurig coffee maker. With the comfy beds and pillows, basement game room, relaxing living rooms, multi-bathrooms, screened porch, and attached garage, we enjoyed every part of the house. The multiple washers and driers were very handy. It had a beautiful, tranquil lot with ample parking for all our vehicles, plus, a fire pit, stove, and picnic tables. The well-groomed pathway was a five minute walk to the beach, However, the waterfront was too steep to walk down in front of the house. We found a county park just a five-minutes drive to the north. Deer, birds, and foxes were fun to observe. Thank you for sharing your house with us.
If you have a large group, this home is for you. We had 18, 10 adults and the home was perfect. Jason was great to work with and very helpful. The rooms were all great, especially the game room. The bedrooms are designed for adults and kids. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch while the kids played in the yard. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, and plastic for the kids. Some spices would be a nice touch. Although you have a view of the lake, there is no lake access. It would be a huge addition to at least have a pier. Swimming and a beach area is a short 5 minute drive to the County Park and it's only $5 per car. We loved the home and will definitely come again!
When I was looking for a house for our family of 18, I had to take into consideration many factors. This is a 30 year family tradition for us, and we have stayed in plenty houses in past. I needed a place that would accommodate our different age groups (from a 1 year old to an 81 year old). We wanted a spacious house that we could feel comfortable in for 5 days. This house met all of our criteria! Among us we had several chefs, and not once did they say the kitchen was missing anything they needed; including a mixer. The house was SPOTLESS. The set up in the kitchen is perfect with the huge island and plenty space to sit. Enough plates, bowls both glass and plastic. Plenty cutlery. Pots and pans. Bakeware. 2 refrigerators (one in the kitchen and one in the basement). Two ovens (perfect for our big family) Pantry. 2 laundry rooms. The house has 2 portable cribs. A high chair. Some bedrooms had TVs. There was a nice size tv in the basement. The sofas were extremely comfortable. The bedrooms were comfortable with comfortable beds and pillows. One bedroom has 2 bunk beds with 2 full size beds, perfect for 6 ppl. The bathrooms had good fluffy towels and soap, shampoo and conditioner. Very much like a hotel. The basement was a dream. Tons of games such as Shuffle board game. Pool table. Air hockey table. A perfect nook for reading. There were tons of board games we could use. The fireplace on the first level was awesome. There are 4 bedrooms on the second level. 2 bedrooms on the first level and 2 in the basement. The house is surrounded by trees, giving it the perfect privacy factor. Steps from the lake. The house is 25 minutes away from downtown Dells. Truly secluded which is what we wanted. Since it’s in a rural place, the wifi was a bit weak, but we were there to unwind, so it wasn’t w big deal. Jason, the host was truly awesome. We had a quite a few questions and replied immediately (during the holidays). As a professional photographer, I can attest the photos of this house are exactly what you will find when you get there. It truly felt like we were home. We will return!
