We had a group of 8 adults staying at Paddler’s Paradise for a sibling weekend and had a great time. House was perfect for our group—plenty of room, spotlessly clean, with beautiful lake views. We ate our meals in so appreciated the well stocked kitchen and large dining table. The weather was Wisconsin at its best so we were able to spend a lot of time on the deck, tried out the kayaks, and sat around the campfire at night. We hope we can come back!

Our stay was absolutes top notch. We had a group of 11 people ages ranging from 2-69. The house was beautiful and very clean. They supplied everything we needed aside from the normal things you would bring on a trip (toiletries, food, etc). The kids absolutely loved the game room. The lake was peaceful and perfect for swimming, fishing and kayaking. We also enjoyed the hot tub and appreciated that it was screened in so we didn’t need to worry about mosquitoes. We will definitely be looking to return for future vacations!

This property was the perfect getaway for a girls trip! We enjoyed so many of the amenities including the game room, the canoe, and paddle boards. The rooms were a perfect place to rest our heads at night with comfortable beds. The kitchen was everything we needed for making all our meals there! We appreciated the great water pressure in all of the bathrooms for rinsing off after our days on the lake! Overall the whole stay was relaxing and felt like home away from home, we can’t thank Christopher enough for being such an amazing host.

This is our second time staying at this property. The new owners/management made some very nice improvements this past year upgrading the deck area and adding a lower patio area with table and chairs and some outdoor “party” lights. Also some kitchen upgrades. All very nice. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The canoe, paddle boards and kayaks provided for use were greatly enjoyed. And the biggest bass caught was right off of the dock! Not great for swimming but lots of fishing fun for kids from the dock. It is a great property for a family vacation with a game room for added fun. There were a few minor things that needed repair which we reported and the owner was responsive. The pictures perfectly represent the property. Highly recommend this property for a family fun vacation.

Birthday celebration
Stayed here for my wife’s 40th birthday. 8 adults in the house with more than enough space to spread out and relax. The water was chilly but expected early May, still a nice lake to kayak. The updated kitchen appliances were amazing. Except for an excursion to a winery and hiking we spent and enjoyed our time at the house. Between the lake, game room, jacuzzi and spacious lounge areas we didn’t need to go anywhere.

Wisconsin Stay
Property was as stated in advertisment. Plenty of room for everyone and nice additions to enjoy in the evenings when we returned from activities. That is the pros. The con was the cleanliness of the floors. They were sticky and dirty, we mopped them ourself as my wife's white socks were black after she walked around for an hour or so. Not a major problem, but something that should have been addrerssed. Even with the con, we were very happy with our stay.
