Photos and Description of the Lake Wisconsin vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 6)

Unit 4 is perched amongst a canopy of oak and birch trees - you can stand on the balcony, reach out, and touch leaves and branches nearly 3-stories from the ground! Unit 4 is one of eight condominiums in a building nestled within a mature birch/oak forest with views over the Lake Wisconsin valley. Casual, whimsical, bright furnishing. Italian ceramic floor in bath and kitchen. Woodburning stove insert in the original, beautiful, stone fireplace. Lovely, new, oiled-teakwood laminate floors LR and Hall - carpeted bedrooms.

Lots of wildlife - deer, turkey, raccoon, owl, and birds of all sorts fly over or walk through these remarkable surrounds. Marvelous earthrise and earthsets. I think the trees up here talk.

Cascade Mountain Ski/Snowboarding is a 20-minute ride. Wollersheim Winery in Sauk City is a 20-minute ride. Attraction notebook available in unit.

Plenty of QUIET. Noise restriction after 11p. You could write your book here! Remarkable views. Friendly condo neighbors.

About The Owner

Comfy in the living room - fireplace blazing nearby and watching something wonderful on PBS...probably the Dicken's series...what teriffic tear-jerkers!

The Owner purchased this condo in 1999
Why The Owner chose Lake Wisconsin

How could I NOT have fallen in love with this place!? (I didn't mean to...it was a first project for me/my brother.) Although not a skiier or golfer, I AM a walker and I just step out the door and I'm nearly in the woods...AND from the balcony I can touch the nearby oak tree high, high up. Only squirrels or cranes get a better view.

What makes this condo unique

Peace - to watch the trees 'converse' with each other - the neverending changes framed by each window to the forest - the very occasional concert (Los Lobos a several several years ago) or fireworks from Devil's Head Resort on New Year's Eve - sitting around the firepit on a summer or fall evening - the water from a quartzite well in the basement (it bypasses the water softening system otherwise required for the building) - staying up the nights male owls joust in the air above our parking lot (I always think of the Quiddich field from Harry Potter.

Great place for a family ski vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: February 27, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We had a great time at Lesleigh's place. We will be back. What a great place for a ski weekend. Devil's Head Ski Resort is just down the road. A summer/spring vacation would also be fantastic! A day trip to Devil's Lake, a canoe adventure on Lake Wisconsin, or just reading a book on her balcony and appreciating a quiet day in the woods.

We had 5 people stay- 4 adults, one child- and we had plenty of room. The place is cozy and clean. The wood burning stove kept us warm and toasty. We skiied during the day, read books, made dinner in Lesleigh's fully equipped kitchen, listened to music, chatted all night, and drank a little wine :)

My 5 year old said she wanted to "stay there forever" :)

Great Trip

A group of friends and I were looking for a place close to Devil's Head to ski and this place fit the bill. You can walk through the trees and get to the slopes in less than 5 minutes. The condo was great and had everything we needed to make some wonderful meals as we hung out by the fire. Amazing place at a good price.

Convenient and Cozy

5 of 5
Submitted: February 14, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We rented this condo because of the proximity of Devil's Head. It was extremely convenient because we did not want to drive to ski. The condo is literally next to the resort. Our group consisted of 5 adults, and this cozy place fit all of us nicely. The kitchen opens into the living room, so it was very convenient to be part of the discussions that took place in the living room. Moreover, we enjoyed gathering together in the living room because the furniture arrangement was perfect to accommodate all of us. The kitchen is functional and fully-stocked. Also, the beds are comfortable. Lesleigh, the owner, was very helpful and caring. All in all, we had a great time!

Owner's Response: My hope is that these friends return in one of the other beautiful seasons up here! Just being able to languish, for at least ONE morning, in bed is sometimes a great vacation all by itself...and worth a drive from the city.

Fantastic condo - cosy, beautifully decorated, great location - next to the ski slopes. Relax in front of the fireplace after a cold day outside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lesleigh is the nicest person you can imagine, always reachable for questions or assistance. We are looking forward to going back. Thank you, Lesleigh.

Owner's Response: If memory serves, we were all concerned that the snow would be skiiable (is that a word?)...Devil's Head made snow, and Mother Nature blew cold enough to keep the slopes ski ready. Whew! Hope to see this cheerful bunch up here again!
On top of it all, they left me some WONDERFUL Bulgarian homemade yogurt! YUM!

Great Expierience

Submitted: January 14, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
My friends and I came up for a weekend getaway and were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. This is a nicely decorated condo among the trees. It has just the right amount of space and amenities to make a pleasant and relaxing weekend getaway with friends or family. The owner was gracious and accommodating. This will definitely be on our list for a re-visit. Thanks for a great stay.

Owner's Response: These first-time visitors were a delight! I returned to #4 to ready for new guests and discovered they'd lived here so thoughfully and left it so beautifully that I felt like a guest stepping in!

Certainly hope this group of friends, from two states, will gather here again.
