Would have scored 5 stars except for some items needing attention:1. The smaller bathroom was not properly cleaned in our case, and the shower door did not completely close. 2. Our favorite spot, the screened in porch, was occupied by dead insects, spider webs, and other small debris that we cleaned up. 3. The dining chairs on the porch were soiled and need updating. 4. The house would be much more inviting if it received a new outdoor coat of paint and if the gutters were cleaned out. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed our stay and hopefully will return. ##### William M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patti M.

We had two families- 8 people and the size of house was just right! Such a cute home and all the hometowns smells were awesome. The river in the front yard was so relaxing and quaint…. We felt blessed to be there and had a wonderful time. Shadow Lake swimming area was perfect for our boys who loved the high dive and the parents who needed cooling on the 100 degree Sunday we were there. The Red Mill home store and ice cream shop was so cool! Clearwater harbor was a yummy restaurant that welcomed dogs and had outdoor seating. Their blueberry mojitos was fantastic! I rate this family/friend vacation a 5 and would recommend this cute historic area to any wanderlust vacationers like us… ##### Liz Z.

FANTASTIC location! Home is directly across from the portage point for Crystal River and includes an expansive river front for recreation and relaxation. The historic home has been very tastefully redecorated to feel modern and comfortable. There is a screen porch where one can relax and was especially cozy during an afternoon rain storm. The afternoon rain shower provided us the opportunity to indulge in reading some of the area's history from the books that are provided in the home and also explore some of the darling shops in King (across from Comma Cafe). We rented the four kayaks and trailer that are available with the home, parked at the public lot across from The Casino and paddled the lower chain ending with a float down the breathtaking Crystal River and ending right to the house! It was a great family outing. If you enjoy single track, our boys biked nearby Hartmann Creek trails (there are three - beginner, intermediate and advanced). Home is only minutes from The Chain o' Lakes. We rented a pontoon from Outdoor Outfitters and enjoyed casual cruising through the beautiful lakes. Enjoy! ##### tania d. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessie A., Minneapolis, MN, USA Oct 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Perfect Quiet Getaway I booked this for my brothers and parents and I to get some family time for a week. We LOVED this place! Phone signal was nearly non-existent, so it was good we had the instructions saved offline to unlock the door. Once we got on the wifi, the signal was strong. First of all, the place smells incredible! They really paid attention to that, between room aroma, the fresh, soft linens, and the soaps. The design is right out of Better Homes and Gardens - just clean, bright and simple, but no shortage on supplies. Everything we needed for coffee and cooking was available, including a nice big propane grill and hot dog sticks for the firepit. We spent all of our time either in front of the fireplace (at night) or out on the screened-in porch (during the day). The atmosphere was PERFECT. The little neighborhood of retirement/vacation homes was quiet and serene - though this was right after Labor Day when school started. I couldn't get enough of walking around it, admiring the historic houses, gardens, and quaint little creek ("river") that ran through the back yards. We even rented kayaks from the host - I wish we'd done more of that, because the one day we went (we put in just across the street), we had a blast. The host was consistently available for questions and recommendations, which were exactly what we'd hoped for. We even took the boat tour of the Chain of Lakes, which had a lot of cool info and gorgeous views. We're already talking about our next return. Will definitely stay here again! Many thanks to our host! ##### Jessie A. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### David M. Jul 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Getaway: We enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfortable. Great master shower. Bad phone/inter.! We loved the location & enjoyed taking walks with our dog in the peaceful neighborhood. The house was comfortable & well stocked with cookware. We had hoped there would have been a better supply of some kitchen items like coffee, spices, condiments, etc. & a hair dryer, shampoo, & body wash. We appreciated the gift basket and really enjoyed the two free tickets for the Waupaca Chief lake cruise. The pictures online were a little misleading as it made it look like you had access to the river from the backyard. In reality, you had access across the street & that was not clearly defined. This place had horrible internet & phone service. The only place we could make a successful phone call was from the master bedroom and we didn't discover that until the next to the last day there. Because of the bad phone & internet service, we didn't receive our entry instructions to the house until we had gone out for supper. At the restaurant, we finally received the code for the combination lock on the front door. Luckily, someone had left a side door open, and we were able to bring our things in. In spite of some problems, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in the home. We were able to relax well there & it was relatively close to lots of good eating places. I would recommend this place to others. Just realize the phone & internet service is really bad. ##### David M. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Erika B.
