Really close to the city and a really unique home and layout with tons and tons of space. Super responsive and helpful host. Would stay again. Hot tub was great. Loved the game room.

I want to move in. We had 13 guys for a bachelor retreat and this place was perfect. Plenty of room for us all and plenty to do. We expected to spend plenty of time exploring Milwaukee, but found ourselves hanging out at the pool or fishing in the pond when we weren’t relaxing in the game room. 10/10 would recommend!

There were a lot of things to keep kids busy from the fishing pond and pool to the game room and yard activities. We stayed during some very hot weather so the upstairs and game room were rather warm, but there were several floor fans to help. Robert was very good about communication throughout the trip.

Very unique house nice to have the pool because it was so hot . Our grandchildren enjoyed the fishing and our dog had lots of place to walk. Had a great time thinking about staying there next summer if we get together again. Even the pool was very clean and the kids had fun fishing. Close to the main roads so the kids could drive back to Milwaukee for work . Very pleased with our choice of this beautiful place!

The house and property were great. There were six of us and we had plenty of room. We thrive outdoors and there was everything we could have wanted to do out there. There is a lot of traffic noise and airplanes, but you get used to it pretty quickly. You are within 20-30 minutes or so many fun things to do, as well!

Wonderful Choice!
We just got home from a WONDERFUL long weekend at this 7 ½ Acre Estate! Our family of 5 had plenty of room to spread out. The turntable on the dining table was great for games and had plenty of light over the table. If we had cooked, the kitchen looked well appointed and the second fridge on the porch was handy for drinks. There were plenty of extra linens if you wanted to use a pull-out bed. There is a door that allows the first floor bedroom and bathroom to act as a suite, which we did for overnight.The boys enjoyed the paddleboards, but we were too busy out and about in the area to enjoy the paddleboat or kayak. The pool and hot tub were wonderful after a day of hiking and exploring.Very convenient location. Milwaukee, gas, groceries, and restaurants all reasonably close.

Great Weekend to celebrate graduation
Our family had a wonderful time to celebrate our grandaughter's graduation. Everyone fished, paddled around on the pond, played cards, relaxed in the hot tub, enjoyed an outdoor fire, let the dog run in the wonderful large yard, relaxed in swings... a great time. There is plenty of room in the house for people to be close together or have quiet time in a secluded corner. This couldn't have been a better spot for us.

Great for groups
This place is a great venue for a family or friends gathering. For us not what we hoped for. We were looking for privacy and nature. Daily maintenance of property and pool required daily texts with owner who tried to be very considerate but still had a ton to do before opening for summer guests. Place is great for groups.

Relaxing getaway
My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out, comfortable couches and beds, great hot tub and beautiful private property. My kids enjoyed the game room and we loved relaxing by the fire. It was also nice being able to have the dog along with us. The host was responsive and we had no issues. My kids have already asked to go back!

Cool rustic house, with an awesome hot tub and fireplace
This place was great, we used the hot tub a few times despite the cold weather. The rooms were comfy, and the backyard was great to sledding. The double living room was cool and the couches were comfy. Plenty of room for our kids to run around and play!There was a little bit of the weird smell around the showers, but I assume that was because the house is on a septic tank.

Bachelorette weekend
Me and girlies all had a fantastic stay at "the retreat"
The space was amazing for a large group. Communication was open, easy, and friendly. The hosts accommodated our needs for extra tables as well. I definitely see us renting this space again in the warmer months because the property was beautiful and also had a lot of outdoor features.
Thank you for such a comfortable stay and memorable weekend

Metro getaway!
We had a great time enjoying the pool and fishing pond with our grand daughter. Host was easy and available with information. We appreciated so many of the many details that made for a great stay (2 kinds of coffee makers, ridge in pool, comfortable poolside chairs) it was ideal for keeping lots of people entertained, with spots for late night fires playing games chairs) clearly had machairs.

Relaxing weekend at The Retreat
I stayed at The Retreat for a combined bachelor/bachelorette weekend with my fiancée and a group of our friends.
It was an excellent place to unwind and spend time together. We were annoyed at times by the noise from the freeway nearby and the airplanes overhead but the multitude of amenities available at the house and the great communication (and signage) from the host, Robert more than made up for the noise.
10/10 would return and recommend to others. Thanks again, Robert!
