Historic Home Near Wi Dells, Lake Wi & Party Space Avail!
Historic House steps from Lake Wisconsin, just up the road from the infamous Merrimac Ferry and close to Devil's Lake and Wisconsin Dells!
Historic home charm with updates make this home a comfortable space for your group.
You also get access to a huge, charming and rustic Schoolhouse and Blacksmith shop party area for an additional $150 fee (see club). This open area is great for anything from bridal showers to family gatherings, and can even be a place to park your sleds if you're traveling to snowmobile.
Inside the house: Full kitchen w/island and formal dining area. Flex room right off dining (think: games, oversized couch, additional table, etc). Spacious living room easily invites relaxation and camaraderie. Nicely appointed Queen ML bedroom off the living with it's own access outside.
The second level of the house features 3 bedrooms/2 full baths. Each bedroom has king beds. Views of Lake Wisconsin can be found from two of the rooms. Additionally, two rooms have futon style seating available.
Upper level: Club House. Great view of Lake Wisconsin. Likewise, you have some awesome bunk house style arrangements with 5 twin beds and two televisions with BluRay and Wii gaming systems. This area also has it's own heating/cooling.
We welcome guests with their own specialized code to get in available through their stay. We will communicate prior to your stay and provide information and Welcome Binder available on site for most of your questions and requests. Prior to your stay, look for a text or email thru platform with your code for access to the property. This code is only usable from check in time to check out time during the duration of your stay.
Merrimac (Colsac) Ferry is a free ferry ride from one side of Lake WI to the other (seasonal). Fun ice cream shops available on each side. Just a couple houses from the lakeside Memorial Park with docks, fishing, shelter, horseshoes and play equipment. Across the street from a softball diamond/park and church. Two doors down find a restaurant/bar with good hometown feel. Firepit onsite for making additional memories. Just a quick ride from so many other great outdoor areas: Devil's Lake, Devil's Head Skiing and Tubing, Cascade Mountain, , Ice Age Trails and Rec areas, Dwwar's Glen, Parffey's Glen, Ringling Bros Circus in Baraboo, shopping Downtown Baraboo and plenty of other great restaurants and bars close by!
Some of the best pizza at H's Place in Merrimac, so come, and let someone else deliver to you their famous Chicago Style deep dish. So much space and a great place to get away from it all.
ABOUT THE PARTY SPACE You also get access to a huge, newly renovated w/old world charm Schoolhouse and Blacksmith shop party area for an additional fee. This open area is great for anything from bridal showers to family gatherings, and can even be a place to park your sleds if you're traveling to snowmobile.
CONVENIENCES: We inventory our items and set out what we feel include and understand is needed for a stay the length of yours. If you need additional items and find some onsite, please just leave a note that you used it so we can adjust accordingly. This is so we can adequately supply items such as toilet paper, laundry soap, dish soap, coffee and other conveniences to our guests and maintain a reasonable rate. Items such as paper plates and condiments are left at a convenience for you, but are not something we normally stock/restock. We appreciate your understanding in this.
HEATING/COOLING: If you are staying during a time in which you need to use the heat, please note that the main and second level of the house use the thermostat in the dining room. However, in the upper (3rd) level, it has it's own heating (baseboard) and cooling (window ac). There is a switch by the window ac to turn it from either heating or cooling. In addition, the baseboard temp is located near the AC unit as well (it runs all the baseboard heating in the upper level). Please also realize that it may take a bit to warm up/cool down the property. If you are using the heat, please be cognizant and aware of this and prior to leaving during the months of November to May, please turn the temps to 64'. If renting spring/summer please place cooling at 74' prior to vacating. This again, allows us to provide you the opportunity to use the these at your will while here without putting undue items on them like locks and presets.
CLEANING: Unfortunately, it has to be said, and we mean this in the nicest way possible... If the cleaner comes (after checkout time) and you are here, she will begin cleaning and notify us. At that time if you choose not to leave and stay on you may be charged an additional $50 for an hour for every hour in which you are past the check out time of 11am. Again, we appreciate your understanding and adherence to the policies set forth.
