About the host
Your host
Our Family's love of travel, real estate and adventure led us to Beaver Dam, WI. We love spending time at at the lake and in lake communities with an abundance of activities. Beaver Dam has all of that and more, with many restaurants, ice cream places, breweries and celebrations.
After purchasing a second home here, we wanted to share the incredible home and experience with other guests and turned it into a part time vacation rental. We love hearing from our guests about the memories they made while staying at our home. We set this vacation rental up to make every family's dream of a peaceful, relaxing, adventurous vacations possible.
We've worked hard to leave no stone un-turned and cover every detail so you can get away from it all and relax worry-free. Our work on improving the Gatsby Getaway isn't finished, and If there's anything we can do to improve your stay, please let us know!
