The backyard does back up to railroad tracks. However, the yard is fenced and our home is located in a “no horn” area so when trains do go by a whistle is not blown.

Guest Access

The entire home is private and you will be provided with a key code for entry the day before your check-in.

Plenty of space for our party to relax and hang out. Didn’t use kitchen except for coffee in the mornings, but there seemed to be all the accessories you would need to cook and there was plenty of room to have multiple people in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean with plenty of room. Adorable, comfortable house that I hope to stay in again when traveling to the area to visit family! Jason and Melissa were great hosts.

We enjoyed staying at this beautiful house! It was exactly what we needed for our visit with family in Oconomowoc. The home is located 5 minutes away from our Aunt and Uncle's house AND very close to our Grandmother's assisted living facility. The next time we visit Oconomowoc we hope this home will be available! The neighbors' dog made sure to pay a visit to our dog in the backyard. Our dog CoCo made a new friend! The neighbors are extremely helpful and friendly which made the experience even that much more pleasant. Thanks a ton for allowing us to stay at your home Jason!
