Amazing old building. So much space and fun stuff for kids. Was the perfect winter staycation for our group. Not the type of place that you can expect to be 'pristine' but clean enough and so fun and interesting. Better than the pictures. We'll be back!

Amazing

We wanted to rent a space large enough to house a group of brothers, sisters, their spouses and kids. This space was perfectly amazing!! So much room to sleep with private bedrooms for the couples and loft beds for the kids. Separate livingroom areas and dining area Separate from the game table! Lots of games and activities already there to be used. Our daughters favorite was air hockey!! This is the perfect place to rent for large get togethers to hang out, especially in the winter because there is so much space for the kids to run around and so many things to keep them entertained!! Even an indoor basketball hoop! We loved that too! Heated floors in the bathrooms... AMAZING! We definitely plan on renting this place again and enjoying good quality time together!

Great Space for Family Groups

We spent the weekend with our parents, siblings, and their kids. The house was as shown in pics. Enough beds for everyone, well stocked kitchen, and the owners replied promptly when I had questions. Everyone was very happy with the house and you can tell the owners have put thought into the place and what people will need.

Olson Pheasant Hunting weekend!

Our family totally enjoyed our stay! Plenty of space for all of us! The children love all the toys, games and area to run and chase! Having grown up in this area it is always good to come "home"! We grew up roller skating in this building and our dad would do Meals on Wheels here! So many memories! Thanks Julie!

So much room!

This property was fantastic for our fishing group. We had 12 people, one was 9 years old, and everyone had a bed to sleep in. The kitchen was big enough for making our meals and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. All the games were great to have. It was very nice being right in town so we could walk to the bar or the grocery store. We had 3 boats and there was plenty of parking area for them and we were able to plug them in. It was really nice to have a spacious garage as well. We have another group of guys that are looking to come here in the spring and I plan on booking this for us again next fall. Thanks!

Wonderful, unique and fun property.

We had a girls trip and stayed at this unique property. It was exactly as described. Very roomy, tons of beds, plenty of seating for everyone and room to spread out. They had lots of games to keep us all busy. The house was very well stocked and there wasn't anything we needed that the host hadn't already supplied. Thank you Julie for letting us experience the town hall.
