Wisconsin Stay
Property was as stated in advertisment. Plenty of room for everyone and nice additions to enjoy in the evenings when we returned from activities. That is the pros. The con was the cleanliness of the floors. They were sticky and dirty, we mopped them ourself as my wife's white socks were black after she walked around for an hour or so. Not a major problem, but something that should have been addrerssed. Even with the con, we were very happy with our stay.
