"Very nice house, clean and had everthing we needed. It was one bed short of advertised so my neice slept on the sofa rather than the upper bunk. Biggest concern: the front step is quite high with no hand rail. My 74 year old sister fell backwards off of it with hand full of luggage. Fell all the way backwards and hit her head.

Family Home on Lake Sara

"We stayed 2 nights over the weekend. The house had all of the necessities needed for a great, comfortable, and relaxing stay. The only issue we had was the constant music coming from the local bar scene. It sounded like we were at a night club rave! We used the kayaks and had a big fire in the pit. The little extras made the difference between a good stay and an amazing stay. Thanks for the little things. We would highly recommend this to families and friends looking to have a great time.

"This little cabin by the river was such a nice place to unwind and explore all that the Willenborg Woods have to offer. The trails are clearly marked and take you through a variety of views. The hosts were responsive and helpful during the entire stay, with the highlight being a morning basket of farm fresh eggs, hot coffee, and a warm, delicious pastry. We could not recommend this rental enough!"
