Every time I messaged her before we booked and after we checked in she answered so fast! The house is beautiful! The main floor has 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom. It also has a deck off the living room. The basement is a big open room with all the games and two futons. There is also another room down there with a queen bed. (this room has no door if that is a deal breaker for you) The basement also has a bathroom with a small shower. The basement walks out to the backyard, which is a great view! If we ever were to go back we would definitely stay here again!!

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!

Friends get away weekend

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.

Peaceful Winter Getaway

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!

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!

Amazing place!

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!

Great Stay

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.

Cute and quiet

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.

Perfect Weekend Getaway And Views

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.
