Urlaub für Familienfeiern -Danksagungen, Weihnachten und Silvester!

We love our golfers! This group was especially great. Really glad to hear they enjoyed the “19th hole” and lodging at the mansion.

So glad you guys enjoyed your visit. You’re welcome back any time! Should we keep some beer on ice? 😄

We were happy to see that Ed and his group seemed to enjoy every square inch of what the house and yard had to offer, even having a family member play guitar by the fire pit and another one tickling the ivories in the lower level. They summed their trip up as “fabulous” in follow-up communications. We hope they’ll make a visit to the mansion a tradition.

So disappointed you didn’t enjoy the decorations as most guests seem to. We’ve had all positive feedback from guests who appreciate the historical feel of the fully furnished house, not to mention access to china and crystal for fancy dining, toys for the kids, books to take to the beach, etc. The house is not for those who like stark surroundings, you definitely need to appreciate a hearty decor style to feel at home. Thankfully almost all folks seem to enjoy a mansion which feels like yesteryear yet is stocked with practical amenities. :)

The secret to year-round fun? Being with family! We're so happy this family enjoyed their stay. Sounds like no top winds brought in the warm waters during their visit, unfortunately. We've actually seen surfers out there in Oct-May in their wet suits--not for the faint of heart! But you're welcome to use our 4 kayaks to get out on the water. Glad to hear you found plenty to do. Hope you took the fleet of bikes for a few spins around town. Thanks for the follow-up; you were great to work with!

The following wonderful text came from the group leader of the party that arrived immediately after the gentleman who posted this review. “Hey, Chris, thank you once again for the opportunity to stay at the house for the week as it exceeded expectations on all fronts in facilitating our stay, the party venue, the entertainment of family and friends. We made great memories for sure. Our CEO (of a very prestigious corporation) was so impressed with the way the house functioned, flowed and opened up to this incredible party environment and social experience. The house hit it out of the park! Thank you and your team…for working with us…in making this past week a success.” The group who stayed there just prior to this guest also texted us their gratitude, “One heck of a stay. Thanks again for such a memorable trip!” Please take into account the feedback from our way more than satisfied guests who occupied the mansion literally just before and just after this particular reviewer. This is the type of follow-up communication we are happy to receive and are familiar with. Factor in our 5 Star rating and then consider the lack of credibility of this unfortunate review. Better yet, come see for yourselves! You’ll be glad you did. We take pride in going above and beyond so that our guests can take a step back in time to fully enjoy their stay at this historical mansion. We’d love to prove it to you!

This was a delightful group—we hope they return!

OMG, I LOVE this family! You have GOT to click on this link or head to YouTube to get the full flavor of their vacation. Their creativity and diversity not only showed how much fun they had in Sheboygan but also highlighted a lot of the opportunities for maximizing a weekend at the house. They clearly enjoyed the beach, kayaking and soccer, a not to mention running around the light house. Looks like they took the bikes to town, visited the Michael Kohler Arts Center, headed to the riverfront and attended a festival (the porta potties are the dead give-away). I can only imagine what this group will find to do in the winter! I was so impressed by this video that it's inspired me to propose a video contest. The best video posted in a review between now and the end of the year will win a prize--maybe a free off-season stay. If you've already been our guests you can post clips after the fact. Or come again and put your techno teens to work! Thanks, McKiernans, for the amazing peek at your family's antics. I'm going to go watch that clip again...

So glad this big fun group enjoyed their reunion!

We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay. The weather wasn’t exactly cooperative but you seemed to make the best of it. At least it behaved better for the wedding. I hope the bride and groom got some wonderful photo to commemorate the special occasion, and that you all left with wonderful memories. Hope you return. I hear annual family reunions are good for one’s health. :)

This was the kind of group everyone wants — friendly, tidy and appreciative. It’s always helpful to hear how the three generations utilize the house. We aim to provide something for everyone, and are tickled pink that this family reunion group took advantage of the various things we had to offer. The matriarch of the gang just before them told me that her adult daughter said, “ Is it weird of me to hope for a couple of rainy days so I can play with all the things inside? “. Loved that compliment. Thanks for the wonderful feedback, Julie. I hope you guys return. It’s fun even in the off-season. You might want to brush up on your karaoke skills first, just in case.. :)

Thanks, John, so glad you enjoyed your visit! Hope you come back again. Next time I’ll drape a towel over my arm and uncork your wine for you, how does that sound? Chris

Repeat guests are the best! These guys are very easy to work with. I’m glad they like the golf Mecca in the Sheboygan area. We hope they come back again and again.
