    If you are interested in finding something unusual to do you have to stay at Adeline’s House of Cool. It was like staying in a museum from the past. The home as well as the yard surrounding the home was beautiful. This is an experience I will never forget.
    My family spent a great week at Adeline’s. The house truly is amazing, with so many things to look at and so many things to do. My 10 yr old grandson learned to play pool and corn hole. He and my 2 yr old granddaughter spent hours in the huge indoor hot tub every day – the caretaker, Tom, turned the hot tub temperature down to 80 degrees making it perfect for the kids – and they didn’t get overheated. There are many stained glass windows are beautiful – including a huge awning over the front entrance. Everywhere you look, there is something new to see and investigate.The outdoor living is terrific at Adeline’s – we loved having coffee every morning on the screened upstairs wrap around porch. The property is set on an inlet of lake Puckaway. There is lots of room outside for the kids to run around. There is a secluded “umbrella garden” that was perfect for the 2 yr old since it was surrounded by shrubs so she couldn’t wander off.The owner, Brian, was very responsive – even though he lives in Chicago. For example, Adeline’s has bikes for the renters to use, but no helmets (maybe there are no helmet laws in WI?). I texted Brian about helmets and within a couple hours, he had contacted a neighbor and she brought over helmets for us to borrow for the week! The kitchen at Adeline’s is perfect for cooking and grilling – I cooked and grilled for our 5 adults/2 kids every night. There were 2 coffee makers so we never ran out of coffee in the morning. There was also a griddle for making pancakes. There is an extra charge for having access to the laundry room, but it was well worth it for having that convenience.The area around Adeline’s is fairly remote – 20 minutes to the nearest Piggly Wiggly, but there is plenty to do in the house. We also took a day trip over to Wisconsin Dells (about an hour drive) to see the Dells and do some touristy activities. We saw numerous Amish families riding in their horse and biggies, which was cool to see. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to visit the local Amish storeI highly recommend Adeline’s for a family or group vacation. With the 6 bedrooms and tons of sitting areas, there is room to spread out – but also to gather – the kitchen table, with bench seating, probably could seat 12. Adeline’s is a place to make lots a great memories!
    Adelines is the most amazing, relaxing, interesting, altogether, has everything you need down to the dish soap! OUR family found new things to look at until the day we left, fun things to do in the vacinity within 20 mins. Our family will be back every year! The host was absolutely % there for us, giving information on fun events going on in the area, and just making sure we were doing ok! I could go on, but Our family says do it, you won’t be disappointed!
    We booked Adeline’s for our family to reconnect, having stayed apart for most of the covid year. Adeline’s was the perfect place to do this. The adventure began as soon as we arrived. Our host Brian’s attention to detail and personalized touches ensured we felt at home. Check in was only eventful in that there was a letter waiting for us in the mailbox with helpful pointers and a scavenger hunt we couldn’t wait to start.. A few hours after our arrival, Tom the caretaker came by to give us a tour. Honestly, you could probably spend a month there and still discover new things. We played board games, cards, corn hole, pinball, slots and pool. We soaked in the hottub, slid down the firepole, and watched movies. We bonded, but had space for alone time as well. There’s so much to do there, we can’t wait to go back! Adeline’s isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a destination.
    This property is awesome! So much to do and so many areas to hang out in!!!

    Very awesome experience, loved the area and the place. Would definitely like to visit again! Especially liked that we had access to kayaks
    This was a beautiful placeEnjoyed every minute of our stay it was private, quiet far enough away from the craziness of Wi Dells but close enough to get to everything we needed. It was nice having a private space on the beach and having all the beach toys. Everyone can’t wait to go back again
    My family and I spent a week and it was fantastic. The property was beautiful and the house was very clean. It was close to the Dells but you felt like you were miles away because it’s secluded.
    Great little cabin. We were only there a couple nights but enjoyed the small beach and fire pit. The 3 season room and covered porch provided plenty of room for our 5 adults and toddler when it rained.
    Enjoyed this cabin and hope to return! The small private beach was perfect for family fun. Very accommodating and even had two deer welcome us-lovely!

    Northwoods

    Its neighbor, Minnesota, might be known as “The Land of Ten Thousand Lakes,” but Wisconsin has at least 10,000 lakes of its own. Most of them are in the northern part which is known as the Northwoods. True to its name, this woodland area is home to the 1.5 million-acre Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. With plenty of fishing opportunities to boot, the Northwoods are a paradise for outdoor and wilderness lovers.

In addition to great lake views, it features a stone gas fireplace, a pool table, and a hot tub. Grill up dinner on the stone patio, then sit around the fire. Water toys include three kayaks, a row boat, and more. The charming town of St. Germain can be reached in just 10 minutes for shopping and recreation.

    We loved our time on Moon lake. We fished, barbecue ,had camp fires , hung out on pier, went tubing down the river , dined at local restaurants, shopped and so enjoyed the wild life. Perfect get away. Home was so comfy and super spacious. A+
    I did not want to leave. This is a beautiful home that was very clean, the owner was so nice. I wish I owned this property! I highly recommend you stay here. Everything was like a dream.
    Beautiful place, nice lake, and very spacious. Outdoor area is perfect for family to gather together. We brought our boat and the dock area is private and was also a great place to hang out. We will definitely be back in winter to snowmobile!
    The house was very clean and stocked with everything we could have wanted we had a wonderful time on our short trip up north thank you very much for hosting us
    We had a great time at this house on Moon lake! The house was super clean with everything pretty much brand new. Great host! We are already thinking of renting it in the future!

    The cabin was very comfortable and had plenty of space for our family of 12. The living room/dining room/kitchen accommodated us very well and we took full advantage of the deck and screened porch. The lake was a relatively short walk through the woods and the golf carts made it very easy to shuttle the kids and gear to the dock. We thoroughly enjoyed the lake -fishing, swimming, kayaking and canoeing. We also rented a pontoon boat for a few days to help us get around the entire lake. Well worth it.No one wanted to leave when our week ended! It was an ideal location for our large family with children ranging from 4 – 10.
    Quiet, secluded but close to everything. We had a BLAST!!
    Cabin was great but wish it was CLOSER to water. Long way away. Was nice that they had a lot of ‘stuff’ already at cabin like toilet paper, roll towel, spices, etc. Had trouble with flushing toilets the first few days, but worked with Jason and he was able to get the problem resolved.
    This very private property checked all the boxes for us! The cabin was comfortable with ample sleeping room. We had so much fun going down to the lake on the golf carts and enjoying the firepit in the evenings. The pier at the lake is spectacular! Will definitely do this again! Thanks Jason!
    Perfect location! It was quiet and relaxing. St. Germain is a perfect location to get away from the hustle and bustle of Minocqua and Eagle River but still within a convenient distance to either town for things to do. The cabin was also very nice, cozy, and accommodating.

    The house has great details and the view is unbelievable. Loved being able to include our dogs on the family vacation. We will definitely be back!
    A beautiful, funky, unique home with gorgeous views. A great place to spend time with friends
    The Porte Haven boat house in DC is amazing. 4 levels, multiple beds and baths, two fire pits, and an outstanding view of Death’s Door where the weather is clearly visible. Newport State Park is a few minutes away with great hiking. The owners make it easy to access everything you need and are amazingly available to assist if you need it. Could not be any better!
    Wonderful! Very clean and such a perfect place to stay!! A nice luxury retreat on Lake Michigan!
    We were in town for a wedding at the end of September,this property turned it into an amazing getaway! The sights and sounds of the lake are unforgettable! We had a great bonfire one of the nights,we were swimming right in front of the house while waving to the Washington island ferry boat! This is a professionally managed property! All the things needed for fun was on hand! We golfed at the peninsula golf course ,went hiking in the peninsula state park….great dinners at some really nice restaurants…..it really was a trip full of memories! Thanks for sharing your property with us Jeremy and Caitlyn! Door county is full of overwhelming fun!

    This property is beautiful and has everything you could ever want. Our family made great memories exploring the property and the owners were very attentive and quick with communication. Thanks again!
    We enjoyed the cabin with three bedrooms and loft and dog house with extra sleeping quarters. Everything was decorated with a cabin vibe. The property was very well supplied and clean. The large couch accommodated our large group. We were celebrating birthdays. We even brought 2 dogs. Such a beautiful view-water surrounding us almost. We hit a nice week-end in November. It would be great in summer with boats and swimming available too. Great choice for our family.
    Beautiful place. I wish I could have come here during the Summer so we could use the kayak and jump into the lake.
    We were all smiling when we saw the beautiful house and the location. Everything was just like we imagined! Had beautiful sunsets and stunning sun rises from one of the two piers. Bonfires at night were also a highlight. Would highly recommend
    The location is wonderful, being the last property on the peninsula of Clark Lake you have a dock on the east for sunrises and a dock on the west for sunsets. And you can walkthrough a narrow wooded trail to the very tip of the peninsula, which we all loved doing. It is definitely a property to spend the most time out doors. With a great wooden table which is lighted to eat at., a deck with seating adjacent to the cabin and a screened in gazebo for those buggy nights ( being mid May we had no bug issue) . We also had our Bernese Mountain Dog with us and she loved being there. Properties that allow dogs are typically more run down but this was not the case with this property. Our dog is with us all the time and is very well mannered in the house. Paw wiping before going in, no going on the furniture etc . All dogs that come there must be similar to ours for you would not see any evidence of4 legged friends being there. The owner of the property was very responsive to any question or needs we had and answered right away when I txted and I mean right away ! That was amazing. We had 3 adult sons and a girlfriend plus my self and my husband. The sleeping arrangement worked out fine. The only thing is 2 bedrooms are in separate buildings, one over the garage and one in a separate one room cabin neither have running water in them so whoever sleeps there will have to go to the main cabin to use a bathroom. It was not a problem for my family but could be for some . Really every thing you needed was there, from kayaks, canoe, life jackets, bean bag toss, outside seating, fire pit , gas and charcoal grill.. and if you want to explore DC it is easy to get to anything from the cabin.. Whitefish Dunes is Not even 10 minutes away, Penisula State park is 20 minutes away. it truly was perfect for us!

    Beautiful home and location.
    As beautiful as the picture was, it didn’t do the place justice. Amazing views of the lake, cozy cabin retreat on secluded acres. You felt as if the entire lakefront and woods were just for you. What an amazing property!
    Beautiful location overlooking Lake Michigan. Excited to find trails through the woods leading to the lake for walks on the rocky, but stunning beach. The house was extremely clean and the yard was huge- perfect for a game of football! Great spot for a family (or two) to let kids run free, explore and enjoy the outdoors. It’s a bit of a drive to explore the area but a perfect secluded retreat!
    Everything we hoped for. The process was so simple and the cabin was home away from home.
    Great property, enjoyed our stay. Perfect place to get away and relax.

    My sister, mom and myself stayed Friday night through Sunday morning. This property is so adorable with beautiful grounds. We came up from Milwaukee and it was wonderful to have the views of the fall trees and river. You can tell the owners take alot of pride in this family home. It was very clean and stocked with EVERYTHING you will need. We cooked breakfast and a full dinner on Saturday and didn’t need to bring anything to cook with. (Pans, spices, utensils, plates, cups … all available) Thank you for sharing your family home! We will definitely be staying here again in the future.
    My husband, daughter and I enjoyed our recent stay. The scenery was beautiful, the cabin was well kept, and the amenities were plentiful. We really appreciated the use of both the charcoal grill and canoe. The cabin feels secluded even though there are neighbors and you’re just a couple of miles from town. There’s also a lot to explore in the area. We would definitely stay here again on future trips to the area.
    I took my mom back to visit family after my dad’s passing. This cabin, in its quiet and serine setting was the perfect place to reconnect. I would highly recommend this place for anyone needing a quiet (or even not so quiet) get away. The cabin has everything you might need, the owners are quick to answer any questions, and all the drawers and cabinets are meticulously detailed. We will definitely plan to return.
    This is a great property. Our family of five fit perfectly. We played outside, did some fishing and had enough space to spread out too. Our children loved the loft space and playing games in the basement. They thought of everything! We will be returning in the future! Thanks KK Lodge!
    We had a nice relaxing stay. The property is well kept and clean. Our stay was short but we enjoyed it. Cell service was very low (Verizon) but we managed since we were on vacation. Thanks for the great place.
