Perfect restful retreat

We had a wonderful stay at this secluded, beautiful property on the Rock River. Plenty of space, fun and unique decor, excellent facilities/appliances, and incredibly friendly hosts. We would absolutely come back and stay anytime we're in the area!

Gorgeous Fall Getaway

Who knew Jefferson was such a destination!? This is the perfect place to stay if you want a relaxing weekend in nature with access to top-notch dining, shops, and theater. Comfy cozy space with super friendly and accommodating hosts. We were so impressed and loved everything about our stay on the Rock River!

Great place!

We brought our 3 teenage boys (who are not easy to please), and everybody had a wonderful time. The place is incredibly clean and the woodworking all around the house and trails is beautiful. Every night we had a fire by the river with drinks and listened to the sounds of nature. We saw deer, pelicans, frogs, etc. The boys caught a ton of fish each evening. We went to the Dells for a day, which is only about an hour away. Downtown Jefferson is also a cool little area The hosts are wonderful people who make sure your stay is great, but you really also don't even know that they are there. We have rented places twice a summer for the past 10-12 years and this was easily one of the best locations for the price.

Wonderful place

Exceeded our expectations for a weekend anniversary getaway. Thoughtfulness and great attention to detail in all aspects. The interior is beautiful, the pictures don't really do it justice. And the outdoors, with the river and trails and cabinette, were just as nice. This is a really special place and Rebecca and Michael were great hosts.

Spacious and lovely

Wow, this place is a gem! The interior is spacious with so many thoughtful touches. The patio is beautiful, plus there's lots more to explore, including wooded trails, a seating area and fire ring on the lakeshore, a furnished cabinette, and a fabulous treehouse. And the hosts are lovely people! We would definitely stay here again.

Great place to relax

Our family of 4 had a great time. The place was spotless, kitchen was well stocked, and lots of good magazines, books, and games to enjoy. We really enjoyed walking around the property and sitting in the little cabin especially during the rainy and cool weather. Michael’s woodwork throughout the property was amazing to see and enjoy. Michael and Rebecca go above and beyond to make your stay great. They helped carry our luggage down the stairs in the rain and took extra time to help mail us an item we left behind. Highly recommend if you want a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature.

Hidden gem in Jefferson Wisconsin

We picked this property due to its central location in Wisconsin. We wanted to get to the Dells, covered bridge in Cedarburg, and Madison. We also loved that it was on the river and looked like it was spacious enough for 2 couples. The listing showed a queen bed and two singles but I contacted Reb and she very quickly messaged back telling me that they couldn't make it into a king due to the extralong twins but she was happy to push it together. That was my first of many happy surprises with this rental. When we arrived the bed had actually been made up as a king except the bottom sheets as she noted were twin. One of the most comfy beds we've slept on. I was a little concerned that it had only one bathroom. Traveling with another couple I had hoped for 2 bathrooms but the 1 bath was just fine. It had all the amenities one would need including black washcloths for makeup and single Neutrogena makeup wipes. When we first arrived and saw the space we were really delighted. It was indeed close to the river and super shady by many big trees. In fact the property is 4 acres with lots of trails. The owner has built the cabinets, doors and all wood trim himself in his shop on the property. The woodwork is stunning. There is so much attention to detail. The unit has an inside dining table, outside table and 2 rocking chairs - GREAT for coffee in the morning. Oh and coffee in the morning? They have a Keurig stocked with all the coffee and even half and half. The kitchen is actually so well stocked you could have an extended stay and easily make all of your meals... plus store the leftovers in glass containers. The freezer has a tub full of ice with a little scooper. There are 2 different seating areas with couches with one being in front of a really large smart tv. (55" plus would be my guess) We were too busy playing cards to turn on the tv. The place doesn't have air conditioning but as a walkout basement it is totally comfortable. We kept the sliding glass door shut as suggested and were always nice and cool. Michael suggested we go up the tower one night and watch the lightning bugs. What a cool spot. That guy is so talented! There was also a wooden walkway out over a wetland area. Stunning. We were invited to go on the pontoon ride our last night and it was just the cherry on top. Reb, Michael and their dog Dewey were the absolute perfect hosts. Do yourself a favor and book this place!!
