Hidden Oasis: Indoor Jungle Room, Pool, Sauna, Hot Tub & Private Lake
HIDDEN OASIS | Indoor Jungle with Waterfall, Heated Pool, Cedar Sauna, Hot Tub & Private Lake on 17 Acres
Step into a 20-foot-tall indoor jungle with skylights, a waterfall, and a river running to a pond, then swim in the indoor pool right next door. Warm up in the cedar sauna for 8 or the hot tub for 7, play in the game room, and head out to your private 3.5-acre spring-fed lake. Hidden Oasis went viral on Zillow and has been featured on TV and in the media. It sits just 20 minutes from downtown Milwaukee and is built for family reunions, friend getaways, and group retreats of up to 18 guests. Stay 7 nights or more and the sauna and hot tub are included.
THE HOUSE (6,000+ sq ft)
Jungle room: a 20-foot-high indoor jungle with skylights, a waterfall, and a flowing river that runs to a pond. Exotic plants and banana trees surround you. Think Rainforest Cafe meets Jumanji meets The Flintstones. It sits right beside the pool. Indoor pool: about 5 feet deep and kept at 86°F, so it’s fun for kids and adults in any weather. Cedar sauna (seats 8) and hot tub (seats 7): on the covered pergola patio under string lights, with direct access from the jungle room. Game room: ping pong, foosball, a bar area, 50+ board and card games, and a kitchenette for snacks. TV room: above the game room, with an 80-inch smart TV, sectional seating for 8, a fireplace, a poker table for 6, and a kitchenette. Kitchen and dining: fully stocked for everything from gourmet dinners to frozen pizzas, with seating for 16 and 16 handcrafted butterfly chairs. Bedrooms: 6 unique bedrooms with boutique-hotel linens and pillows.
THE GROUNDS
A tree-canopied private driveway leads you in, so you’ll feel far from the city. Covered pergola patio with a fire pit, attached to the house, for evenings in any weather. The lake is stocked with pike and bass for catch-and-release fishing, ideal for first-time anglers and seasoned ones. Fishing gear is provided. Kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, a rowboat, and a dock for warm months. A sandy beach with kids’ toys and floaties. A gas grill for outdoor feasts. Wildlife to spot, including a family of beavers on the island and nesting turtles.
LOCATION
Parallel to the New Berlin Trail for walking and biking Costco, Target, Walmart, and grocery stores: 7 minutes Milwaukee County Zoo: about 10 minutes American Family Field: 12 minutes Downtown Milwaukee: 20 minutes Chicago (north side): about 90 minutes
All 6 bedrooms have central air and privacy doors. Two bedrooms are fully private. Four have a wall facing the jungle room, so expect some light and sound from it. Bedroom 1 is on the first floor. Three staircases lead up to the mammoth, cave, and castle (stone) rooms and the TV room, all above the pool. A fourth staircase leads to Bedrooms 3 and 6.
GOOD TO KNOW
The home is partially underground in a forest-and-pond setting, so you may see insects or wildlife. We work to keep the property comfortable with regular pest control, seasonal mosquito treatments, and a licensed biologist who manages the lake and indoor jungle ecosystem, but nature is part of the experience here. The custom design includes stairs, uneven hard surfaces, and wet areas (the pool deck and jungle room paths can be slippery). There is no elevator, and four staircases lead to the upper level: three go to the rooms above the pool, and one goes to Bedrooms 3 and 6. Please supervise children. Check-in age: 25+, no smoking, no pets (service animals welcome). Private events can be approved for an additional fee.

This house is definitely a unique treasure. We took our Girl Scout troop here to celebrate. The property definitely has something for everyone. We caught and released some big fish down by the pond, and the girls liked catching frogs. The beautiful landscape made a perfect atmosphere for an outdoor fire. The girls loved the bunk bed, game room, tv room, and of course the pool! The girls kept calling it the jungle oasis with all the beautiful plants.
Had a wonderful time! Huge, spacious house with plenty of sleeping spots. Tons of things to do (paddle board, pool, fishing, lawn games, campfires, etc.). Great retreat for a family reunion!
The host was very responsive and accommodating to our request for additional guests to stay. The property was exactly as listed. Our whole group was amazed and we truly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you!
If you are looking for something different, this is the place. What a fantastic time my family and friends had here. We only stayed up for a day but could have stayed for a week. We will definitely be back again.
We spent 2 nights here for a bachelor party, the house was more than perfect size. They had the indoor heated pool, a downstairs game room and a 2nd kind of living room upstairs. The house had everything you were looking for to have a good time, only recommendation would be a deep clean but understand it would be hard to keep up with this with how the place is laid out, overall a great experience. Thank you!

Disliked: Cleanliness
While the house is very unique and a sight to see, the lack of attention to detail with cleanliness and upkeep is what really impacted the rating of our overall stay. The host was extremely accommodating with our check-in, but the property itself needs some attention. It was very evident that the place had not been touched or looked after in some time upon our arrival. The grass in the yard was long, and there were sliders and bugs everywhere in the house and including all over the beds. There is also a wasp nest that we did inform the host about. When we informed the host of our concerns specifically with the bugs he said it was, I quote, “impossible”. Pretty disappointed that we did not receive any apology or offer to have someone come out to clean immediately. With a bit more love and attention this could be a 5/5. Some tips for anyone looking to stay here: the bedrooms are almost all (with the exception of two) open-air and other people need to be walked through to access other rooms. Not ideal if you’re looking for any privacy. Because the bedrooms are open air it is also very hot, humid, and bright. Pack a fan and an eye mask.
This is a wonderfully unique property. It had a lot of space for different activities. We loved the game room as well as the TV room with toys for kids. The pool was magical. A beautiful and relaxing setting. I especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen for large groups. We never ran out of plates or coffee cups! The host was great and had quick response to messages. Highly recommend for family fun!
