Our family and some friends stayed here for four nights/five days just after new years. What a fun and interesting place to share with loved ones! Plenty of room for a large group to spread out but the house also provides real coziness that makes it feel like a (very cool) home away from home. Our group loved shooting pool, feeding the jukebox, playing pinball, and taking turns at the one-armed bandit all while enjoying a roaring fire near the full-sized, classic wooden bar. the hot tub was truly awesome and large enough for us all to enjoy and we also loved taking advantage of the huge dining room to play games or the super comfy den area to hang out and watch movies. We loved the layout of the upstairs bedrooms giving everyone privacy but also being near each with a vintage hotel vibe. I couldn't get over the wrap-around balcony shared by all the bedrooms...loved it... so many details big and small that truly make this place an original. Seeing as it was early January we couldn't truly appreciate the huge yard with its many statues and sculptures (and a vintage phone booth that works) as well as the close proximity to the water, but I hope we can stay again when it's warm to take it all in during the peak season. The host and his assistant are super attentive and very responsive. It's clear they put a lot of time and planning into trying to give everyone the best experience possible. My only regret is that we didn't bring more people with us to share this treasure! I highly recommend. read more

My wife surprised me for my 50th Bday. Brought the family and dog and a few college friends. Was such a nice break from reality. Great space, lots of it. Good firepit and great host! Only downfall is that they charge for using pool table. I get the other items to charge, but the pool table should be made for free. Otherwise, not 1 negative comment! read more

If your looking for unique and unusual experiences this is the place. Absolutely had a blast and could not have planned a better birthday bash. The owner was so considerate as well in ensuring the experience was perfect. The history of the house can be found here https://getawaytowisconsin.com/story which was provided at the house and a cool find. Plan to come back ... I think it would be an amazing location to host a murder mystery party in the future. My favorite features were - Using the old style phone that work to call the various rooms in the house (Even the telephone booth in the backyard) - Competing on the springy nickel machines and pinball for high score. If you lose, use your 5 cents instead to buy a gumball :) - Pool table and playing board games. Great location to have a fun time indoors during the winter season. - Amazing and big deep hot tub read more

FINALLY! It's been a couple months since we stayed at Adeline's and all this time I've been wanting to write a review, but just forgot. This is my second time at Adeline's. The first time we randomly chose Adeline's for my partner and I and our ten year anniversary. We fell in love when we saw the pictures on their website. We were really excited. I think our impression was that we would be staying at an era '20s retreat. Knowing the history of the Wisconsin Northwoods and gangsters like Capone and Bugsy and Baby Face we kind of thought there was a theme there. To be fair, Adeline's doesn't dive deep into all that, but we absolutely loved it...all of it! One thing we will say is that we stayed in the late late Fall. While there wasn't snow yet, we did catch the last of the Fall colors and will rethink our third stay so we can either enjoy the lake (which is right there. Really, right there) and the gardens. Even closing in on winter we could tell that the gardens were spectacular in the summertime. Cant wait to see them then. Okay, so we decided to stay here, just my partner and I, thinking the place was a romantic couples retreat. It is, seriously, it was very romantic. Though, it is huge. That was a lot of fun having it all to ourselves - especially the hot tub, the huge hot tub. But, while we did feel kind of Gatsby-ish alone in Adeline's we also realized that this place would be great for a larger group of guests. That's what we did pretty quickly after our first stay. My partner is a huge mystery fan, so she organized a murder-mystery weekend with some good friends and coworkers. It was a casual and fun game that seemed to fit well with the ambiance, especially when we sat in front of the massive stone fireplace trying to figure out "Who dun it..." It worked out great. A couple things to keep in mind - and we didn't take advantage of - is that there is skiing nearby. Maybe an hour away. I don't ski, but my partner is from Tahoe, so... But, it didn't matter because it was too early in the season for snow on the hills. The second time we were busy with the murder-mystery. Also, we are both Pack fans, so we might be interested in staying here for a game in the future. It would be a great place to hang out for an extended weekend, drive up to Green Bay, and then back for some dogs and burgers. Anyway, this is probably a rambling review, but, we did love Adeline's. Wish we could have talked to the owner more so we can get some insight into the history of the place. One of our friends swears she saw a woman in a flowing dress on the porch near the fireman's pole. Yep, there's a fireman's pole. Highly recommended. read more

This place is awesome. If you're looking for a quirky weekend getaway spot for a large group, come here. There are 6 bedrooms on the second floor, each has double doors that open up to a wraparound deck that looks over the property. Giant in-ground hot tub, pinball machine, pool table, bar, fire pole that you can slide down from the second floor balcony - all sorts of things to do with friends and family. And there's weird stuff all over the walls in every room, from taxidermy (more than I've ever seen in my life), funny quotes and newspaper clippings, vintage handbags and hats, to marionette dolls hanging from the ceiling - a lot to take in and keep you entertained. However, it's haunted as shit, so if that's not your thing then perhaps reconsider. Unless you drink enough alcohol before bed to pass out and not wake up until morning, which is what we did every night after the first. On the first night/wee hours of the morning, one of our group had a visitor open her bedroom door, walk in, and sit on the edge of her bed. Half asleep, she turned over, assuming it was one of our friends - but no one was there. Next night, in a different room, the doors leading out the balcony unlocked themselves and swung open at like 3am. Next day, while in the bathroom looking out these two stained glass swinging windows that look out onto the staircase, one of the marionette dolls decided she wanted to slowly turn around to face me. Charming. Same day/later that night, in a different bedroom, the doors to the balcony unlocked themselves and swung open again. And at this point, most of us were sleeping on the couches together because we were a little freaked out, and those brave enough to sleep in the bedrooms made damn sure they locked the balcony doors because of what happened the night before, but sure enough, the doors opened and the two sleeping in that room together came scurrying out with blankets to join our pajama party in the living room. Later on that night, after all but one of us had fallen asleep, that damn marionette doll slowly swung her ass around to stare at the last poor soul lying there awake (thankfully it wasn't me). But it was creepy enough for my friend to take her chances with mysteriously opening balcony doors and sleep in one of the bedrooms alone instead. All of that being said, nothing terribly awful happened to us. We felt more like whatever presence was there was mischievous rather than malicious, and we had a fantastic weekend. They should mention to guests that the original owners of the property are literally buried in the backyard though, complete with headstones so you can pay your respects. And we did - upon checking out, we thanked them for a lovely weekend and apologized for acting like a bunch of idiots in their beautiful home. read more

Greatest rental house ever! The awesome antiques and eclectic decor will keep you staring at the walls and ceilings for hours. The game room is over the top, one of the coolest pinball games I've ever played. The hot tub - well just look at the pictures. It's almost big enough to be a swimming pool, will fit lots of people comfortably, perfect temperature water, you feel like a Roman emperor in it!!! Bedrooms are comfy, awesome yard right on the water with a pier for boats, and plenty of great places to visit in the area. Ive rented a lot of homes all over the world, and this place is definitely one of the best ever. read more

This place does not disappoint! So much to see and do it kept everyone entertained including five grandkids! Loved early mornings in front of the fire place sipping coffee just unwinding. Excellent family getaway!! Can't wait to do it again!! Thanks Brian and Tom for an amazing vacation. read more

Hands down, this is my favorite place to vacation! This house is a masterpiece and I've never seen anything else like it. It's right on the lake, it has 6 bedrooms. It's got a bar complete with pool table, arcade games and a juke box. It's decorated with beautiful antiques and rare collectors items. And its has an INDOOR HOT TUB THE SIZE OF A POOL!!! The lake is great for fishing and surrounding small towns are wonderful and welcoming. They're good from antiquing and finding unique gifts. Problem is the house is so nice, i don't ever want to leave. If you're going to stay, book early and give yourself an extra day, because time flies when you're up there. Also it has a full sized Totem Pole. That was a first for me. read more

OMG, this place is amazing. I can just walk around the house and stare at all the beautiful antiques, and decorations. It's just the right place to get away from your busy life. Being from the City, I can appreciate the peace and quiet that it offers. Love the Pool size Hot Tub. (another first for me) It's HUGE! I would recommend this Awesome place of cool to everybody, and bring your friends, there are 6 bedrooms to chose from. read more

We had a fabulous time at Adeline's over Labor Day. When we arrived, Tom had the porch doors open and music piped out to the porch, so welcoming! Loved that the bedrooms all opened out onto the screened in upper porch. The hot tub easily fit all who came and we enjoyed it nightly. We brought along our kayaks and had fun exploring the channel and Lake Puckaway. Some of the young people were fishing, no keepers but lots of action on the lines. There was so much to see. It would be fun if the owners tools photos and made a scavenger hunt for the kids to do. We would definitely consider going again. The owners and the caretaker were all just charming to deal with, so kind and flexible about times and dates. read more
