Great place for guys retreat

Stayed three nights with a group of four friends. Hit the trails and played poker. Perfect location, layout and facilities for this! Newly built/renovated with all the accoutrements. Do yourself a favor and buy a frozen Jan’s pizza from a local place and cook it up in the on-prem pizza cooker. You won’t be disappointed! Highly recommend and hope to visit again soon!

Nice location for riding ATV's for a group of friends ranging in age from 73-39. Liked fire ring and sat out all four nights around a fire. Thanks for sharing your house with us, and enjoyed the area.

Controlled Chaos

We had a great time during our stay. The house had everything we needed and was located just outside Black River Falls. We were up there for opening weekend of deer season. Would highly recommend if you like the outdoors this place is for you.

Nice family getaway

We enjoyed our stay, exploring the nearby town of Black River Falls and the excellent hiking trails nearby. The house had plenty of room and fun activities to do, even when it was too chilly and windy to enjoy too much time outside. Would like to come back in the summer

Memorial Weekend

Overall it was a nice place to stay. Good driveway for trailers and ease of getting around. Excellent location. Inside of place was nice and comfortable. Outside could use some improvements. The outside appearance could turn people away from how nice the place actually is. We will book again in future.

Controlled Chaos

This home was everything we needed for our deer hunting trip to Black River Falls. When we came in from hunting we played poker, old school video games, foosball tournaments, watched movies, and napped. We also enjoyed some of the local restaurants in town. The area seems to be excellent for riding ATV’s or snowmobiles. I would highly recommend this place for any looking for a fun vacation.

Worst VRBO Ever

We arrived at Controlled Chaos and the first thing I see is the lawn had not been cut at all this year. The grass was so tall and the yard so wet it was unusable. When we first walked in we really liked the décor, but very quickly realized the property had not been cleaned. I don't mean it was not cleaned well........It had not been cleaned at all. Every bedroom reeked of body odor and one was so bad we just kept the door shut and didn't use it. There were used Q-tips on the floor in virtually every room, I won't go into detail on what my wife and our friends found on the bedding, suffice it to say the bedding had not been laundered. We found a dirty sock in a bunched up sheet at the foot of the bed, vomit in both bathrooms. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. The ladies cleaned and washed the linens for our beds so we could at least sleep in relative comfort, but the other beds stunk all weekend. Apparently a "workgroup" was in the house for two weeks prior. I reached out to the host after our stay to see if we could come to some kind or equitable resolution. Initially the communication was very responsive and he did offer to waive the booking fee and a free night stay with another booking of course. We should have been offered a full refund and a free "give me another chance" weekend. but when that was mentioned he ghosted me. In fairness, I wanted to give him a chance to make it right before I gave a bad review, but I guess money wins. Do not stay here!!!!

Great trail cabin

We went as a group of adults to ride the ATV trail system. It is a great location right in the middle of the trails. We were able ti ride north one day and then south the next. Very spacious house with lots of seating and great space to stretch out and relax. I would definitely stay here again.

Family Vacation

This property was perfect for our family vacation. It was my first time booking thru VRBO. It was fully stocked with pretty much everything (and more!) that we needed. Having a laundry room and fully stocked kitchen was very nice. And parking--oh my gosh--there was plenty of room for our vehicles and a large trailer without having to maneuver and back up whenever someone wanted to leave. Chris promptly answered all my questions when I booked. Would definitely rent from him again.
