We were in town for a wedding, and it was a really nice place for all of the family to stay. Enjoyed the deck and dock as well as having a kitchen was nice to cook family meals!
A really fun place to stay for a short getaway with friends and a toddler. We enjoyed the amazing game room, the hammock, the deck, and the view of the lake. The place is decorated super cute and with very comfy and homey bedrooms. The host was easy to reach and great to communicate with. Thank you!
We had a great time at this location! Water is nice, kids swam and used the kayaks for hours! Super quiet and LOTS of wildlife to view from the deck. Would stay again!!!
We had a blast and loved the small town atmosphere. The local pub was a great stop on our way between golf courses and was well worth the price and company! We will be staying here again.
Fantastic house in a very peaceful location. Loved spending time outside on the deck, on the hammock, by the firepit, or on the other comfy outdoor furniture. Kitchen was well stocked, which was helpful for making big family style meals. Tons of games, puzzles, ping pong, and water amenities to enjoy the lake. Easy to get into town for groceries or if you want to check out any local haunts. Hosts were super responsive and house was spotless.
The cabin was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. It was well appointed, clean, beautifully decorated, and located on a beautiful, serene lake. There was plenty of room for our two dogs to run and explore the property. We look forward to staying again!
It was a beautiful, relaxing experience that we hoped for. Owners very helpful and friendly! LOVED the deck and view of the isle and water, soo serene in the mornings as we drank our coffee.
The house was so comfortable, spacious and cozy. We loved the location and the quietness of the area. The house had all the amenities we needed and it was comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed the incredible view of the lake and was impressed by the variety of bird species we saw and heard. I would definitely return to this property. The hosts were gracious and helpful in answering all our questions.
My spouse and I stayed for a weekend with family. We wish we could have stayed longer! The view from the deck is gorgeous and the home is quiet with practically no traffic. We cooked, hiked, and relaxed. Communication was great. I highly recommend this place!
This cabin is wonderful! Very comfy, cozy and clean. It's stocked with everything you'll need for your stay. The little lake is beautiful and peaceful. We had a great time kayaking around. Nice place!. Thank you!!
My family and I enjoyed it very much. Caught some bass and northerns. We had a lot of day trips not far from the House on the Rock and Cave of the Mound. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Beautiful space and property. We loved looking out the large picture window at the river, prairie and birds. The basement is a perfect spot for gatherings and entertainment.
We cannot wait to be back!
Myself and four friends stayed here for a girls getaway, and we could not have hoped for a more perfect place to rest and recharge. Every detail was considered to maximize comfort and coziness, from views of the peaceful waterfront from inside and outside on the deck, to the gorgeous and unique decor in every room, to the comfortable and high-quality amenities. The host was super responsive and helpful. We plan to be back!
We all loved our stay! The house is immaculate. It is located at the end of the road so the setting is very quiet. The river is just outside the big window and the star gazing was fantastic.
The host were super easy to work with.
We will be back soon! Thank you!
we really enjoyed our time at this house..it was peaceful and the view was beautiful..played games and enjoyed sitting on the deck and enjoyed being together and went to House on the rock which is a must see, then drove up to Green Bay!!
We had an amazing cousins weekend at this beautiful house. The deck provided stunning sunset views over the river and forest. The location felt more private and remote than we expected, which was a delightful surprise. The basement was a hit with shuffleboard, foosball, and ping pong. We also enjoyed kayaking in the mornings. The caretakers were responsive and kind. Highly recommend this place, and we’d gladly rent it again for our next trip.
Overall a cute little place… a bit rough around the edges…
They definitely did the best with what they had to work with… you can tell that a lot of thought was put into design/decor details which elevated the whole feel of the place.
Clear instructions. Clean house. Quiet and peaceful.
House is in a nice location at the end of a cul de sac. Bedrooms are spacious. Kids loved the games downstairs. Deck had a nice sitting area and dining table.
A couple of spots in the laminate were bubbled up and the whole floor would move up and down when you stepped in those areas. The dock was pulled out of the water already, which made it very difficult to use.
Peaceful Paradise in Avoca: Relaxation and Adventure Awaits!
Our recent stay at this VRBO in Avoca, Wisconsin, was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the peaceful atmosphere and the sheer number of things to keep us entertained, both at the house and in the surrounding area.The location itself is incredibly serene, offering a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We particularly enjoyed spending time outdoors (other than the univited guests: the mosquitoes). The fishing was a highlight, and evenings spent gathered around the fire pit under the stars were truly magical.Venturing out, we had a great time visiting the local Whiskey Row Saloon, which had a friendly and welcoming vibe. A trip to the iconic House on the Rock was also a must-do and provided a truly unique and memorable experience.Back at the VRBO, there was no shortage of entertainment. The basement game area was a hit, providing hours of fun for everyone. The house itself was well-equipped and comfortable. A particularly helpful surprise was discovering an Instant Pot in the cupboard after we'd forgotten our slow cooker – it definitely came in handy!Overall, this Avoca VRBO exceeded our expectations. It offered the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, with plenty to do for all ages. We left feeling refreshed and with wonderful memories. We highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a peaceful and fun-filled Wisconsin getaway!
