The house a big disappointment. There is a big bug/critter problem all around and no proper “partial A/C” units in the rooms. I took this house because I needed to make sure it was a comfortable house as I had a family trip planned with my in-laws who are elderly, disabled and have other conditions. I specifically asked questions to the representative from Vacasa to make sure they would accommodate my guests but it was far far from comfortable. We all woke up with bug bites especially my kids upstairs and the AC units DO NOT work as they should! It was a vacation we were all looking forward to that ended badly and I will never book through Vacasa!!!

Awesome home with lots of character. House was clean and accommodated to our family of four with no issues. Great host with top notch customer service. Close to downtown Baraboo and restaurants and shops.

This place has a great location in relation to Wisconsin Dells. However, upon arrival we were greeted with cobwebs, dust on the fans, dirt on the floor, filthy air-filters on the air conditioner units, stained and slimy shower curtain, spiders in the upstairs bathroom and a sign by the sink that stated if we wanted our plates, cups and silverware to be sanitary we needed to wash anything before we used it. For the price we paid for a weeks stay this place was beyond pathetic. Oh, and don't forget that they didn't make it a priority to let you know that this place DOES NOT come with a washer or dryer on the property. How inconvenient is that for a family of 6, coin operated in the listing means "go find a launder mat down the street." We were not given enough TP, paper towels or Kleenex. We mentioned all this and they sent out a cleaning lady who stayed for 5 minutes and complained the whole time she was there. The hot tub area was covered with bird droppings, leaves, weeds and dirt was everywhere. We wanted our kids to be able to use this area so it was up to us to sweep, clean and hose down the entire area before use. All I can say is that for the cleaning fee we were charged we felt cheated. So, needless to say our expectations were NOT met at this property. Word to the wise-look at all reviews and all the small print before booking.

Such a wonderful home right up the street from downtown Baraboo. It was great for my wife and I, our toddler, my parents, and our pup! Plenty of common space for hanging out, including a beautiful porch. The walk into town is super quick, but it is a bit of a steep uphill coming home. Also easy access to Devil's Lake. We hope to stay here again in the future!

The house was perfect for our family of five when we stayed in Baraboo for a wedding. The location is close to town, but very peaceful and quiet. We found everything we needed, including great coffee, a TV for streaming, and plenty of big fluffy towels. We had a great experience, and would definitely book again.
