There is only one entrance/exit . All other doors are duct-taped or inoperable. Especially concerning as most of the bedrooms are in the basement. Kitchen microwave is a joke, you'd have to lie on the floor to use it. TV doesn't work, cell service was practically nonexistent. Certainly way over priced for limited amenities. ##### Marylee F.

The house is comfortable and very decently appointed. And not to mention very convenient to lots of local attractions and businesses. If you're looking for a comfy log cabin in Wisconsin this is a great place to try out. ##### Jarrett J. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike V., Chicago, IL Oct 28, 2017 #### Wooded Escape The house offered everything we were looking for to spend a quiet weekend up north. It was centrally located between our planned visits to New Glarus and Taliesin. The fireplace took away the chill of a rainy fall weekend and we enjoyed playing games and dinners looking out over the beautiful woods. Not too often do you get to spend a breakfast watching deer forage and foxes as well. Great time was had by all. ##### Mike V. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John W. Sep 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect place for us Great cabin in a quiet woods. Stayed for four days in early September. We were in Madison for the Ironman. About a 25 min drive to the venue. Cabin is exactly as described in the listing. We did not use grills or fireplace but bedrooms/bathrooms/living spaces were all clean and in good order. Jason was very responsive to questions and gave me updates throughout the week. It's very secluded and no yard so not the best place for younger children who might need outdoor time but perfect for adults who want to get away from the city. I would definitely book this place again if we should decide to return to the area. ##### John W.

Lovely location in the woods. If there had been snow, I’m north sure we could have found the driveway or made it up the hill to the house. Driveway obscured by leaves. A few minor suggestions. Amount of tableware needs to be checked. Not enough for the group. The frying pans do not work on the induction stove. Game cabinets need straightening up and firestarters replenished. ##### Tara E.

The host is great at communicating. However, We were charged an extra $300 for 3 people over 4 (total of 7), supposedly for the extra cleaning. The house was not clean. Very dusty, not sure what was growing under the beds, crackers under the chair in the living room (a chair with no skirt so easy to see under), a 1/2 drank bottle of Atkins on the mantel, spider webs and dead flies in the windows. It was very dark in the kitchen, a few lights did not work. (Hosts solution was to get a lamp from the basement). The oven was filthy. There is a step down in the middle of the kitchen and right when you come in the front door. This was not explained in the description. I use a cane and did fall off it. In reading the comments it was mentioned, but the owner said at that time (4 years ago) that it was being taken care of. Also the dining room only has 6 chairs, even though the house sleeps 8. I inquired about this and was told there is other seating in the rest of the house. There were not any other chairs that could be used at the table. (We ended up having to take a folding chair along so that we could all eat together.) The kitchen is furnished from a thrift store I think. 6 of this size plate, 2 of that size, 2 wine glasses, 4 spoons, etc. Bathtub drains were very slow, so standing water when you shower. Upstairs rail overlooking the living room was loose. Comments in 2017,2018, & 2019 but were not responded to until 2020, so... but I wanted to give possible renters a heads up. ##### jann m.
