Both owners were extremely communicative during my group’s stay! Check-in was very flexible, the house was adorable and very clean and organized. I really appreciated the little things that were thought of by the owners. Hosts checked in with me about the stay, and were even responsive to a late night message from me about the one issue we had (of course I’m the one who didn’t wake for that message🤣). We loved the walkability to our dinner reservations and the backyard/fire pit area. I would definitely recommend this home to any group visiting oconomowoc!

We loved this Farmhouse place. We wanted to stay longer. Everything was perfect! We loved the comfortable beds and the spacious house. We loved the Alexa in the kitchen. Also loved the games and the pet blanket for the couch. Loved the very nice kitchen and living room. We just loved everything! Thank you so much for being great hosts.
