Perfect Property for Extended Family Stay
The property and home were exactly what we envisioned! Spacious and clean with quiet and gorgeous acreage. Plenty of parking space for several vehicles since most in our group arrived separately. We enjoyed the golf carts, bonfires and s’mores and making meals in the open kitchen / dining / family room area. We enjoyed the close proximity to brewery, grocery stores and small town shops and baked goods. We are grateful for the time with family at this property and look forward to our return soon!

Lovely house up in rural Wisconsin, great for larger groups. If you’re needing glassware for wine, perhaps bring your own, there were only 3 wine glasses for a house that sleeps 15.

Great stay for a couple of families
Our hosts were very attentive and responsive. The space was beautifully clean and cozy! The property is ideal for a nature-filled experience and the setup of the home was great for 2 families to spend time together but also have alone time if needed. Our kids had a great time and we hope to be back!

Family vacation
Great place to go to get away with the whole family. Beautiful scenery on this secluded property. We enjoyed being able to hop on the golf carts to explore the property and access the dock. We were centrally located, enabling easy day trips to the Osh Kosh air show as well as Wisconsin Dells.

Amazing Spot for a Family Gathering
The property was exactly as described! It is modern, clean, spacious, full of what's needed for a range of indoor and outdoor activities: kayaking, SUP, games, puzzles, ping-pong, or some much needed mindless TV watching ... before plunging into the hot tub. The property is nice and secluded for relaxing, having a fire in the fire pit or working remotely (strong wifi!!). If you are going to cook, you may want to bring specialty utensils or appliances (we did, but found the house had nearly everything we needed when we arrived). Amherst Investments was super easy to communicate with before and during our stay. For our first-ever family trip, the house was perfect!

Great place for graduation weekend!
Our daughter was graduating from UWSP and we needed a place for family to stay so we booked it! We wish it had been warmer and more time to explore the place. Golf carts were fun and several guests enjoyed the hot tub. Hubby loved making a bonfire each night. Worked out well and was only 20+ minutes from UWSP campus.

Amazing place
The property is great. Sitting on top of a hill overlooking a river below. A few neighbors when you first enter the property but once you are to the house you can’t see them. A few trails to hike and a path to the river. The house itself was very nice. Plenty of space for gathering and even a spot in the basement if you just need a break from people. We spent most of our time on the deck or by the fire pit which both over look the valley to the river. We hope to book it again next year.

A slice of heaven!!
This property was just what the family needed. First thank you to the property owner for allowing us to change the date because of COVID. Now to the stay: the property itself is beautiful and the view from the wall of windows was amazing!! The deck outside the main living area allows for more beautiful views and leads to a great fire pit area. There are also trails to walk or of course there are golf carts available. I can’t say enough about how beautiful and relaxing the property was. The house is tastefully down simple and uncluttered but also had everything we needed. This was our family weekend with multiple families and multiple children and we all agree it was a wonderful spot!! Thank you again for unforgettable memories
