Great place!

We wouldn't hesitate to book this location again. The location was perfect to enjoy all New Glarus has to offer. The house was well appointed and very comfortable. The owner was responsive and accommodating. The only TINY negative feedback is that the TVs in the common areas are way too small for the space. We planned on a lazy Sunday watching the game, which we still were able to do, but would have preferred a larger screen.

Cheese Days

Lovely & clean home. Great communication from the owner, Teri. Easiest access we’ve ever had. Great beds, linens, towels. Comfortable living room furniture to hang out together. Stairs are steep for us of a certain age, but doable. Walkable to the village of New Glarus. Teri even left us a welcoming gift in the fridge that was much appreciated after our 11 hour drive.

Certainly Right in the Heart of New Glarus

This house lived up to the billing and is walking distance to the many shops and attractions of New Glarus. The house is in great shape and the cow theme is quite cute.

Great Getaway!

The “Holy Cow” house is a charming home and very comfortable. Very easy to walk downtown for shopping and food. Terry was a wonderful host, and even had some cookies waiting for us from the local bakery. We would definitely recommend staying here when visiting New Glarus.

Mom and adult kids

It was so nice to spend a weekend with my adult children. No spouses, no grandkids. We don’t get the opportunity to get together because of distance but our stay gave us time to reconnect. We had a cute house that was very clean and tidy. Also one block away from downtown and close to everything. It was so easy to book and communicate with Teri. We had everything we needed to “cook in” a few meals. Thank you Teri!

Great Getaway

It was a great place to rest and the proximity to the downtown area made it ideal for having some great food and wine and not having to worry about driving. Nice neighbors and some great chairs for talking! A terrific halfway place to bring friends together from different geographies.

Very nice property

My wife and I met with some family members for an extended weekend visit. The house was ideal for our needs, having three bedrooms and a bath and a half. It is well-furnished and in a convenient location only a block or two from downtown. We liked that we could walk to restaurants and shops instead of having to drive. The house is bigger than it looks like from the outside with a nice living room, seperate dining room, and a finished recreation room in the basement. We didn't cook during our short stay, but the kitchen is well stocked if we had wanted to. One minor criticism: two of the bedrooms do not have dressers. This wasn't an issue because our stay was short. But for an extended stay, I would want a place to put my clothes so I wouldn't have to live out of my suitcase. Teri communicated well with me and I feel that if we had a question or problem, she would have responded quickly to address our concern. I have no hesitation in recommending this property. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

Renting Again

This is the second year in a row we stayed at the Holy Cow Guest Haus and it felt like coming home. Teri is a fantastic host and quick to answer any question or concern we had. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking, the beds are comfortable, and there is plenty of room four adults. New Glarus is a charming town and Teri’s home fits right in with the ambiance. Only 30 minutes from Madison, it’s an easy drive and a quiet, quaint place to relax and unwind. Thank you, Teri! We enjoyed our stay once again!

Thoughtful and Comfortable Home in Heart of New Glarus

My family and I really enjoyed our stay in the Guest Haus! It's perfectly situated in the heart of New Glarus with plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The house is very thoughtfully equipped, all of our needs were taken care of. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. We had a toddler and two older guests that found the main stairwell challenging given it is steep, so be aware of that if you have similar guests in your party. We would love to return to the Guest Haus in the future!
