Host profile image
Brian and I are a couple of Illinois transplants living life in Wisconsin. We are raising four busy kids in the Milwaukee Suburb of Wauwatosa. We love water front properties and our blessed to own the Origami House with 250 ft of riverfront property on the Wisconsin River and easy access to Lake Wisconsin. We love sharing our unique modern family riverfront retreat whenever we are unable to be there ourselves. There is so much fun and adventure in the heart of Wisconsin within 30 minutes of the vacation rental in any direction you wish to go.

Why they chose this property

Origami House is designed as a modern artists retreat on a private 2.5 acre lot in the quiet Shire Wood subdivision. The land is beautiful and peaceful with over 250 feet of of level riverfront access. The house is an architectural delight with big windows, clean lines, simple details and lots of space. Property is minutes away from golf, kayaking, skiing, hiking and many other Wisconsin River activities in all seasons! Also close to all of the action of the Wisconsin Dells, Madison and historic Portage WI.

What makes this property unique

The Origami House is a recently built modern and architecturally interesting single family home in a secluded neighborhood with a manicured path with easy access to the Wisconsin River for kayaking and fishing. The view from the Hot Tub on a clear night with a full moon is stunning.
