"Cowboy Christmas" Family Gathering
"Cowboy Christmas" Family Gathering

Our family stayed at Tanglewood for a long weekend, hosting a "Cowboy Christmas" family reunion, and everything was absolutely terrific! Located in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, it was a good central location for all of us....Not to mention that Mineral Point has a slew of fun restaurants, shops and art galleries. The ten of us had plenty of room, both indoors and out, and marveled at the impeccable surroundings! The attention to detail by the owners is evident from the moment you enter the lodge, and is rarely found elsewhere. (An example: being two weeks before Christmas, the lodge was fully decorated for the holiday, and upon our arrival, the fireplaces were burning and music playing.) The entire property is done in the best of taste. We especially appreciated the log furniture, the whirlpool tub in the master bath and the two kitchens made meal preparation easy. We think that the wraparound porch would be spectacular in warmer weather.
We were lucky enough to have plenty of snow for the event, so the kids (and even some of the adults) enjoyed marvelous sledding, right out the back door -- better than any toboggan slide! We walked much of the property on foot, coming across much wildlife along the way, and watched snowmobiles glide along the state trail, which runs along the border.
You'll notice that we haven't even mentioned hunting in this summary -- well, we're not hunters, so that part of the experience was immaterial to us. We were looking for a getaway from the big city, and to spend time with family....we got all that and more! Kurt and Tammy have a real gem here, perfect for hunting (which we suspect is great), family gatherings, and even romantic getaways in the country!
We'll be back!
