We used this house as our base instead of staying at multiple places. This meant we drove a little more each day but we got to wake up and come home to this magical place. Seriously. We wanted to come home early each day to spend more time here. It’s quiet, enchanting, spotless, and filled with charm. I cannot stress how beautiful and peaceful it is being directly on the lake. We will definitely be back. ##### Monica R. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thad S. 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 5 stars for 5 Starr When the opportunity to have an impromptu family reunion fell into place just weeks before the 4th of July, I told my partner that I wanted to find a lake house to recreate memories of childhood summers in Northern Wisconsin on Lake Minerva with father and my brother. What I wanted was a place to unwind, to reconnect with nature, to rediscover simple pleasures, like sitting on the dock, or on a screened-in-porch. A place to talk, read and play old games at night. In 5 Starr we found all of that and much more. The house is beautifully put together, with ample common space tastefully decorated with just enough "splash of lake" and 3 cozy bedrooms each with a view of the water. The loft sleeping area is a great add, perfect for kids. The kitchen is well appointed, with all the basics and more. We did just fine on the grill alone. Crystal Lake is glorious. We swam, kayaked, canoed, fished, swam, and sat for hours on the dock. Watching the neighbors blast off fireworks all around the lake was a special treat, but not nearly as spectacular of the nightly sunsets and the playful light sparkles on Crystal Lake's rippled water. Our host was exceptional. Timely, accurate and detailed texts helped make the whole process smooth and stress-free. When we encountered a minor problem with the grill, we had an immediate reply and helpful suggestion that got us cooking again in minutes. For anyone looking to retreat to the woods by the lake, I highly recommend 5 Starr! ##### Thad S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine K. 9 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Almost Perfect but HOT We really enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous house. The location was extremely peaceful and private. House is tastefully decorated and well outfitted with most everything needed- even fishing rods and life vests for the kids. The lake was very clean and serene…. Just wonderful. This lake does allow motors so be aware that jet skis and other loud water sports will likely be present. The only thing worth mentioning is that the house does NOT have air conditioning. I was disappointed in that as we stayed in July and it was unbearably hot. Too hot to be inside at all during the day past 9am, at least on the main level. The downstairs level remained slightly cooler, thankfully, but not by much. Sleep was more difficult due to extreme house temperature. Had I known there was no climate control for air, I would not have booked. It’s just something that at this price point and with a fairly new build, I assumed would be standard. The owner suggested keeping all windows open during the evenings to let the cool air in, yet most of the windows did not have screens. Overall, we had a relaxing time. Would suggest the owner stipulate in listing description that there is no air conditioning. ##### Christine K.

If you are a foodie, the kitchen provides everything you could possibly need including appliances, tools, cups, glasses, cocktail glasses, wine glasses and more. I enjoyed cooking meals and enjoying the quiet winter evening by the wood stove. The owners couldn’t have been more accommodating and attentive over text message. All of the bedrooms are on the lower floor with the master bedroom in the middle. This would be a great location to stay with kids or a few families as well. It’s plenty private which I something I always look for and about 20 minutes to the nearby town with many shops, groceries, and more. This is a unique listing that feels like a home but is prepared for VRBO guests no problem. Thanks again! ##### Kyle D.

We have rented numerous times on VRBO and never have we been charged for the way we left the house. We will not be returning. ##### Emily D. Stayed 12 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna G. 22 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfection. This home is perfect. We are frequent vacation home renters, and 5 Starr Cabin is the nicest home in which we have ever stayed. The finishes are beautiful, the setting is incredible, and the available amenities will far surpass the expectations of any typical renter. We were especially impressed by the cleanliness of the home, the comfortable beds with cozy bedding, and a beyond fully-stocked kitchen with everything we needed to cook and bake whatever we wanted. We stayed with our children who not only loved the house, but also its close proximity to Hanover restaurants, Mt. Cardigan for a challenging family hike, Plainfield to visit the Pumpkin People, and Quechee to visit the raptor rescue center. Had we been there during the summer or winter, we could have added swims in the lake and skiing to the list of awesome nearby activities. The only thing I would point out, and this is not a criticism, is that while this house is totally suitable for children, it is a little complicated for rogue toddlers. There is a loft bedroom with a ladder and a staircase leading down to the bedrooms, both from the living room, that are difficult to block off. If it will stress you out to not have 100% baby-proofing, then this is probably not the house for you. ##### Anna G.
