Adeline’s House of Cool is a MUST for your next group stay! Our extended family of 11 stayed for a long weekend, and it was absolutely perfect. There was plenty of room for everyone to be together, while still having space to spread out and do your own thing. Brian and his staff think of EVERYTHING to make your stay amazing. We loved socializing and playing games in the bar room, relaxing in the unbelievable hot tub, taking naps on the daybed swings, cooking in the fully stocked kitchen, and exploring the beautiful grounds. We even caught fish right off the dock! To say this place is a unique stay is an understatement - you truly have to see for yourself! We had everything we needed, and the house was exceptionally clean. Exploring the house and learning about its history was an adventure all on its own! We are definitely going to make this an annual family trip. We can’t wait to come back to Adeline’s House of Cool!Tina Markarian
My family and I ( 6 adults, 6 children aged 10 to 2) just returned from Adeline's House of Cool and I miss it already. When you first arrive you are greeted with nostalgic music on the welcoming wrap around porch. Then you open the door to unique experiences that are far superior to any other rental space in Wisconsin. Each room offers games, activities, comfort and surprises, like the indoor pool size hot tub, the bar with pool table, pin ball and slot machine or the upstairs family room with giant stone fireplace and unique taxidermy! Each of the six bedrooms is comfortable and lead to the magnificent wraparound second story deck with its own unbelievable surprises! The grounds of the property are stunning. The flowers and trees are beautiful and the fountain up front is soothing . Each of us had our own " favorite thing". My son was amazed at how cool the air conditioning was for such a huge home, my 8 year old granddaughter loved the umbrella covered lawn. My 10 year old grandson loved the bikes and fishing off the dock. Each kid caught their share of blue gills, perch , sun fish and one bass. Being a senior , my favorite thing was watching my family bond and just sitting on the lawn listening to all the birds who were also enjoying the property. Communication with the owner and his crew of friendly helpers was appreciated. I know this is long, but I can't say enough about how special Adelines House of Cool is for any age.Elizabeth Cullen
We recently stayed at Adeline's and it was lovely! We had five couples and there was plenty of room! We had so much fun exploring the house, playing games, enjoying the hot tub and having a fire outside. The house was well stocked with everything you could need. Our favorite place was the upper wrap-around porch with the swings and the breezeway. The grounds are beautiful and we were lucky to enjoy the outdoor spaces, despite the mosquitoes. Our only complaint, and reason for the 4 stars, were the beds. Most of the beds sunk a bit in the middle and were a small and squeaky. For couples, queen beds may be more comfortable. Brian was a wonderful host and was very communicative. We recommend Adeline's for groups or families. It's great!Jody Downing
We thoroughly enjoyed a couples getaway with 10 of us at Adeline's House of Cool. What a vibe! This place is rich in space, history, intrest, quirkiness, etc. We were never bored. Between the fire pit, massive wrap around porch to play musical chairs around, to the hot tub, the dart board, bean bags, games, pool table, lotto machine - the list goes on. It was perfect to gather all together and also have space to roam on our own. Brian was above and beyond with communication and Tom show us around at checkout in and made sure we we all set and ready for our time there! Thank you for hosting our fantastic voyage!Cindy Connolly
We had a wonderful time at Adeline’s! Settled in a quiet neighborhood on a channel to Lake Puckaway, we rested, played pool, pinball and even slots! The home also provided a hot tub that was more like a pool in which the younger ones splashed about in. We loved looking at and chatting about the many ornate decor pieces, even having our own scavenger hunt to find the location of certain pieces. One of our favorite spots was having lunch under the umbrella garden listening to Blue Moon! So many unique opportunities for family photos, you will love. We would definitely recommend!Holly Upperman
We had the most magical week at this amazing property. I traveled with beloved family, a party of 11 ranging in age from 9 months to 63, and there was plenty of room for all. It was the perfect “home base” for fishing and playing at Spring Lake, floating down the River in Princeton and enjoying the shops, and admiring the special treasures of the Fox River-Grand River Locks and the Grand River Marsh Wildlife Area. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare family meals and the game room was the heart of our evenings. Everyday we discovered something new to see in the house and I already miss my morning coffee on the big swing outside of my room on the second level. There were so many personal touches and Brian checked in daily to see if we needed anything. One of my favorite vacations. Every day was an adventure. I want a repeat! ❤️Amanda Sutton
We absolutely loved our stay here! All the reviews are spot on!! Tom was amazing and patient with all the kids questions and comments! He made sure we were comfortable and welcomed the whole group with excitement! Brian was very attentive with all questions and responded very quickly! The house itself is something unexplainable. Everyday we would find new cool trinkets and jokes all around the house. We loved taking our evenings after long days out in town and relaxing in the pool and sitting on the netted porch mosquito free! We did NOT want to leave. The house was well equipped with kitchen utensils and supplies! We plan on coming back to enjoy it all over again! Thank you Brian and Tom for helping us have a relaxing fun vacation in this beautiful home!!!Joshua Borders
The house is tremendous! We loved wrap around porches on the second floor and with the whole second floor being a screened in porch with a balcony door in each room we were able to sleep with the doors open so good at night with the crickets and bullfrogs coming in off the lake to awaken with the birds chirping in the morning. The hot tub was used every single day, and you couldn’t beat the juke box selection! A few whiskeys and a couple games of pool with the jukebox after the hot tub after a long an exciting day in the Dells was exactly what the Dr. ordered. Brian (the owner) was so helpful and gave us a lot of excellent recommendations. The tour with Tom in the beginning was also MUCH needed because there is simply so much to explore and see on the property! You will have an amazing time, book with complete confidence! I also left a very important item behind at the property and the owner was gracious enough to send it back, no worries! Thank you for such an amazing experience with my family!Andy Wilson
Unbelievable place for a quiet relaxing time with family! Truly one of a kind home, with so many eclectic decorations you will discover new things each day of your stay! We had a large group of 9 and had plenty of room with the 6 bedrooms. Ample entertaining space inside for evening or rainy day fun and beautiful manicured lawn and gardens for outdoor activities. So many great family memories from this trip! Brian and his team provided unbelievable communication from our inquiries prior to booking through our stay. Brian reached out daily to check on how we were doing, if we needed anything or needed suggestions for activities. Absolute 5 star service!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us! Look no further, this is a place you need to try!!Amy Brosius
We stayed at Adeline’s House of Cool for a week in March 2026 and it was such a fun experience! The house is beautiful, spacious, clean with lots and lots of outdoor spaces to enjoy. The massive indoor hot tub (more like an inground pool!) is a highlight. But the house is full of whimsical antiques, art, and curiosities that are so cool. Half the fun is just wandering around all the indoor and outdoor spaces and examining all the interesting things you see! Highly recommend a stay here. It’s unlike any place you’ve ever been-truly unique and fun. Check out the Princeton Flea Market before you leave!Jason Tucker
All the other reviews are spot on with the description. We were here for a full week and it gave us the opportunity to fully enjoy "some" of what Wisconsin has to offer. We took easy drives to Green Bay (Lambeau Field), Cheese Houses, Amish Bakeries, The Dells, Green Lake (for fishing), golfing at White Lake or to famous Whispering Straits Golf Club. Wisconsin countryside is just beautiful. Adeline's House of Cool WILL be the most unique place you will stay. If there is better I want to know where!!Stacey Pollard
I cannot say enough good things about this place! From the time we pulled up to the house until the day we left, we were on an adventure! There is so much to do and see that will keep you occupied your entire stay. The pool table, slot machine, pinball and the jukebox are so much fun so bring your quarters!! The bar just adds to the fun and feel of the house. The hot tub is like no other I have ever seen. We floated everyday and it was so relaxing. We had so much fun with the phone system where you could call to different areas of the house. We would call in our drink orders to the “bartender” which was so fun. The outside of the home and the upper porch are beautiful and serene. So much to see and do. We traveled with 3 teenagers and they had a blast. Several days we never left the place because no one wanted to. Brian is so responsive to any need that arose and it was evident that he truly wants his guest to enjoy themselves. He was an incredible host. Tom and Leo were also very helpful and kind. I truly hope that we get to visit again. Our vacation was memorable because of this place and the opportunity it gave for us to connect and just hang out with each other. I highly recommend if you are looking at renting Adeline’s House of Cool to stop looking and just DO IT!!StaceyVerified
I can’t say enough about this place! From the time we arrived until we said our final goodbye, Adeline’s House of Cool was a marvel of fascinating things to see and do. Brian was very responsive and took care of any need we had throughout our stay. A few things to know before you go that are not in the listing detail is the fact that you will have to pay extra to use the bar cooler and the laundry room. No big deal but wanted to relay that to others. Bring your own towels and wash cloths but everything else is provided. We never got bored and spent several days just hanging out and discovering all the neat things in and around the house. Bring LOTS of quarters to play pool, the jukebox, slots and pinball. The jukebox was fantastic! Very quiet place. Leo and Tom were also kind and helpful. When we had to leave it was so sad. It really felt like home and no one wanted to leave. Thank you Adeline’s House of Cool and Brian for making our vacation one to remember!Christy Kirby
Our group of 7 stayed at Adeline’s House of Cool 2 weeks ago from a Thursday-Sunday. We had a great time. We made a fire in the outdoor fire pit all 3 nights. The weather was great. We made s’mores, listened to music and had some drinks. The hot tub was so nice and fit all of us great. We loved the old rotary phones, and all of the decor in the home and outside. The umbrella garden is so cool. The wrap around upper and lower porches are cool with the seating and swings. We all ride the bicycles provided. There was so much to do. We had a cookout one evening and cooked on the grill provided. The game room/bar was awesome! We had a great time and would recommend staying here. The reason why I give it a 4 is because there were only 2 queen size bedrooms. One bed was broken. The other rooms were only full size. We are all pretty big adults. You have to pay to play pool and other games in the game room. Also, we didn’t get to use the laundry room. We would have been charged an extra $50.Gregory Werner
Just finished a week stay at Adeline’s lovely and eccentric house of cool. The pictures don’t give it justice how electric and fun the home is. Much bigger too. We had a group of ten which fit nicely. Everything was so fun: game room/bar, hot tub, screened in 2nd floor porch, TV room, umbrella garden and so much more. We rented a boat and fished Puckaway which despite the lake being rather shallow and weedy it was a great success. Also hiked the observatory hill, which was easy enough for the 5 year old but still a great hike with a great view. The manager Tom and owner Brian were very responsive and awesome dealing with. Can’t wait to come again!Kristie Jensen
I just celebrated my 61st birthday here from may 25th-28th. I had my best friend and nephew and his wife. The inside is so fun with pictures and decorations everywhere!! Some highlights are a huge indoor hot tub!! A game room with pool a juke box pin ball bar just a fun room!! There are chandeliers everywhere including a downstairs bathroom. Old time working phones to call each other. Upstairs is a comfy area with couches and a tv to wind down and visit at the end of the day. You honestly have to see it in person to fully appreciate it!! There are beautiful outdoor spaces with an umbrella garden. Off every bedroom you have access to a screened in wrap around balcony with swings!! A great way to start and end the day!! There is a grill and a nicely stocked kitchen!! Too much stuff to mention everything but we had A great time. This place is unique and fun!!Abigail Vlaminck
What a crazy fun place to spend a long weekend! Over memorial day this year I had my Bachelorette party at the house of cool. It takes a second to adjust your eyes to all the objects on the walls, but once your "acclimated" the fun begins! It was the perfect size for my group of 12. There was always something to do or a place to be. Easy driving distance to pontoon on Green Lake, go to the Princeton Flea Market, or boutique in OshKosh. We spent most of our time on the deck outside the bar, in the bar, or in the hot tub! If you're into dive bars, you can't miss Miller's Resort.Adam Winch
Booked Adeline’s House of Cool for three nights for a guy's hangout and it was great. Perfect setup, plenty of space, and a really cool vibe. We had an awesome time and we’ll definitely be back again.Karen Lentz
We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Adeline's House for 3 nights last week. I had very high expectations, but the home managed to surpass them. The home was a fantastic place for the 7 of us to have fun spending time together. We enjoyed a beautiful fire, music, games, and beverages in the bar room. The living room upstairs is perfect for a movie night. The kitchen and dining area were great for preparing breakfast and dinner. There are so many amazing outdoor seating areas that it is hard to pick a favorite. It's a great feature that every bedroom has an exit to the upper level wrap around deck. Of course, the incredible gigantic hot tub was an absolute gem! There are so many unique items throughout the home and yard. You could stay several times and not run out new and interesting items to discover. Communication was great throughout the booking process and stay. The owner, Brian, and caretaker, Tom, were both very friendly and hospitable. I cannot wait to stay at Adeline's House again!Cassi Fenili
Great stay for a birthday weekend. House is large with lots of entertainment space. The gardens and lawn are perfect for spring/ summer outdoor lawn games. Host is very friendly and accommodating. 10/10 stay.Julia Stern
Just spent the past weekend at Adeline's House of Cool and it was AMAZING!!! We celebrated an 85th birthday with the family ranging in ages from 6-85. Everyone had a super fun time. Had several bonfires, tried fishing (no bites tho), rode bikes, played lawn games and enjoyed the nice weather outside. Inside was another type of party... we enjoyed the hot tub/pool many times each day, played board games and the bar room games while donning the many hats, did the scavenger hunt and continuously explored all the fantastical decor. We all had a great time and made memories that will last forever. Thanks for letting us stay at your amazing place!Maverick Hayes
WOW! That is the first word that comes to mind on this house! I am a YouTube content creator and I visited this house in fall of 2025 just to do a video. I was so blown away by the uniqueness & quirkiness, that I had to return and stay with my family. In April 2026, we stayed for a couple of nights and created a wonderful memory. This house is perfect for groups looking to relax in the huge hot tub, enjoy the game room & bar, cook meals in the full size kitchen, admirer the decor, and have a very comfortable nights sleep. There is nothing else like this house. We found it to be very clean, comfortable, and FUN! The property manager showed us where everything was and left his number incase we needed him for anything. The owner of the house personally reached out to me as well to make sure there weren't any issues and to remind us to reach out if we needed anything. My YouTube channel has a couple of videos (1 of an in-depth tour and the other video documenting our experience). This house is over the top and so much fun... what a gem!!!Bob O'Hara
Better than one could ever expect !! Outstanding property and experience. Great stay for any of the 4 seasons !! Super large home ... ideal for a family retreat or just a group of friends. You will enjoy your stay !!Penny Snoke
Adeline’s House of Awesome ! Third time visiting, first time posting. As soon as you walk through the door you feel right at home . Attention to detail is second to none and the smell of cleanliness everywhere. Thank you Brian for sharing Adeline’s ! Shall be back ~ PTristann Rieck
If you are looking to time travel and take a step back into the past then Adeline’s is a must visit. There is most certainly something for every one in your family to enjoy. If you would rather be surprised then spoiler alert don’t read on. The phones entertained my nephew for the entire visit, never got old. Pinball and Juke Box was so nostalgic. My first steps inside reminded me of going to the movies as a kid. Theaters back then were so grandiose. The stained glass throughout the house is by far my favorite attraction. The cabin like feel of the hot tub room was such a great way to end each evening. We cannot wait to come back and explore Adeline’s during all the different seasons.Linda Patrick
The grandkids spring break week was a huge success thanks to Adeline's House of Cool. They stayed busy with Hiking trails, yard games, bicycles and scooters. They tried there luck at the slot machine, pin ball machine and pool. We played cards, they fished off the pier and Adeline's has outside picnic area under the Blue Moon. Start saving your quarters now! I will definitely recommend this place.Billie Jo Davids
We spent a long weekend at Adeline's House of Cool with a group of 12 of us. The moment we walked through the door we were in awe of all the unique things to see. Tom greated us and showed us the entire house and asked us if we had any questions. He even started a fire in the fireplace. We all enjoyed every aspect of this beautiful place. Brian the owner checked in via text and made sure we had everything we needed. It was everything we were hoping it would be. I highly recommend to everyone. Thank you for sharing this one of a kind place with us. We look forward to coming back.Shana Ouke
Adeline’s House of Cool was truly beyond… cool! It is the type of place that is hard to describe in words. The owner (Brian) has blended fun with the feel of a living museum – taxidermy (think Night at the Museum movie!), artwork, and unique treasures turning every corner into a discovery. The game room, huge hot tub, bar area, and beautiful fireplaces made for the perfect blend of relaxation and fun. Beautiful stained glass and artistic details run throughout the entire house, creating a home that’s playful, historic, and thoughtfully curated. The house was spotless, and both the owner and caretaker were incredibly welcoming and attentive to our family. There is a sign upstairs that says “Mi casa es su casa”, and their warmth and attention to detail truly made it feel like this. There was even a fun letter for us in the mailbox when we arrived! We left with full hearts and so many memories we can’t possibly describe to our friends and family. Huge thanks to Brian for opening his amazing home to us and being so thoughtful during our stay, and to Tom for making sure we were settled in and taken care of throughout our stay. (& to Tim for the internet help & Jim for plowing us out! - how often do you know the names of the people who help you out during your stays??? That's sayin' something!).Devin
Endless fun at this Historic property! Our stay was super comfortable and the accommodations lovely. The house had its own aura that makes you just fall in love with it. Our girls trip included a cooking competition; the kitchen amenities were well stocked and the set up was perfect. We also had fun shopping and were able to find everything we needed and more in the super cute little town of Princeton right north of there. The hot tub and bar were a HUGE hit and we look forward to coming back and experiencing this treasure in another season.Miriam Barajas
My family really enjoyed their time here. We had a bit of a hard time finding a place that would accommodate us and our dogs, so I'm very glad we found Adeline's. The weather ended up being colder than we expected, but we still had a great time. Everyone loved the hot tub and we had a good time watching movies and playing board games. Wifi and cell signal were fine except for streaming, but there is a selection of DVDs and VHS tapes available.Bruce Z.Verified
What a neat place! We had company in from New York and drove up to spend several days. The hot tub was a huge hit, as it was the first part of December. The game room was also a great source of entertainment. We were all very impressed with the warm reception and just the coolness of the place. Definitely see a return trip in the future.Mary Kuechenberg
Just spent a long overdue family getaway extended weekend. Everything was perfect. The hot tub is so relaxing. The fireplace was going all weekend and the storytelling and games around the bar. We live out of state so it’s always wonderful to catch up. This is a return trip for us and it’s perfect! Lots of room to roam. Thank you again for a perfect visitKim Kuechenberg
Every year we choose a weekend destination for family Christmas. Adeline’s House of Cool surpassed our expectations. The unique features to the comfortable rooms provided a great space for family fun. The attentiveness of the owner and property management made us feel more than welcome. We will be back!Jenniffer R.Verified
From the moment we walked in the mood was set for our stay. The caretaker greeted us with a short welcome and a cozy fire. We immediately began exploring and wow!! This place does not disappoint, we expected it to be "cool" but WOW is a better descriptor. Our whole family had the weekend of a lifetime with so many great memories. If you have the chance, go. You will not be disappointed.Abby Daane
Adeline’s House of Cool is such a fun and unique spot! The vibe is creative, welcoming, and full of personality — you can tell so much thought goes into every detail. It truly lives up to the name.Abe Zverow
We had a blast at Adeline's! Can't beat that tub.Adam H.Verified
We spent a weekend at Adeline's House of Cool, a one-of-a-kind family-friendly vacation rental that was perfect for our large group--my wife, mother-in-law, brother, and five kids. The house is spacious, unique, and full of character, making it an ideal large family getaway and vacation home. The indoor hot tub, game room, and lakefront access kept everyone entertained all weekend, while the fully equipped kitchen made family meals easy. The property felt cozy but never crowded, and even my mother-in-law loved the vintage charm. If you're looking for a unique lake house rental or a memorable weekend getaway, this place is absolutely worth it.Nicholas Mathiason
Stayed at Adeline's House of Cool with 7 guys for an ice fishing trip - What an amazing place to stay for a long weekend. The massive hot tub, was great after a long day on the ice. No need to go out to a bar, because there is a bar with a fireplace, pool table, juke box, and slot machine in the house! Brian and Tom are both great to work with and made it easy for us to get in and out. Tom came by and checked on the place while we were there and we barely noticed! Only knock on the place is the jukebox, slot machine, and pool table are pay to play. While there is a change machine in the house to make it convenient, it feels odd to have to spend more money to enjoy the amenities advertised on the listing.Ray Stacy
Adeline’s Very Cool House of Cool 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.Raymond Stacy

Our family stayed here with some friends - 4 adults and 8 kids - and we had a blast! It's a very magical and unique place. The fireplace and hot tub kept us warm while it was freezing outside. We also had an outdoor fire with smores. The kids loved calling each other on the rotary telephones that are placed throughout the property. We brought plenty of coins for pool and pinball, and the nickel machine was a huge hit with the little ones. Everything was well maintained and the host was available with any questions we had. Overall we had an unforgettable stay.debra alexander
This house was everything I had hoped for. We had lots of chill family time. Tons of space for everyone and entertainment as well. The game room is fabulous with so much to do. The large fireplace was just perfect for a place to sit and have a drink. We cooked most meals and had a great time doing that. We appreciated the huge dining table for meals and game playing. The hot tub was a huge hit and perfect on a cold winter’s night. Just the perfect family gathering place.Adam Hollenback
We stayed at Adeline’s House of Cool for a few days and it honestly turned into one of those trips you don’t stop talking about. From the second we pulled in, it felt nothing like a normal vacation rental or cabin rental. Every part of the place has personality, and you can tell it was designed for people to actually have fun, not just sleep there. One night really sold it for me. We ended up spending hours in the game room — pinball going, music on, drinks at the bar — and somehow lost track of time completely. Later, we moved out to the hot tub, just hanging out, laughing. It felt like one of those perfect, unplanned moments you don’t get very often anymore. That alone made the stay worth it. During the day, we kept discovering little details around the property that made us stop and say, “Okay, this place is seriously cool.” It’s impossible not to take photos — we were constantly snapping pictures for Facebook and Instagram because nothing about it looks like a typical rental. Every corner feels fun, quirky, and totally unique. The house itself is HUUUUGE. which made it great for the whole group!. Everyone had their own space, but we always ended up together — whether it was cooking, playing games, or just hanging out. Being a pet-friendly vacation rental was a huge bonus too. Having our dog there made it feel even more relaxed and homey. What really stood out was how welcoming and thoughtfully set up everything felt. It didn’t feel staged or overly polished — it felt real, warm, and meant to be enjoyed. I’d absolutely stay here again because it’s more than just a place to stay — it becomes part of the trip. It’s the kind of cabin rental I’d recommend to friends, family, or anyone looking for a memorable, pet-friendly getaway. I’ve already told people about it, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book it again.Randy Williams
Taking two tech industry managers and five sons (ages 15 to 32) to a cabin for the holidays is a calculated risk. We are a family of gamers. We dream in 4K resolution. Screen time isn’t just a pastime for us; it’s a lifestyle. But for the week of Christmas (12/19-12/26), we decided to unplug the router and attempt the impossible: actually talking to each other. Adeline’s House of Cool was the perfect backdrop for our digital detox. The Highlights: Tech Archaeology: The house has a VHS player. Watching my younger sons try to comprehend this "ancient technology" was worth the price of admission alone. Only Ben (our 32-year-old) knew how to operate the clunky plastic brick. It was a humble history lesson. Analog Gaming: Since the consoles were packed away, the boys channeled their competitive energy into the pool table and the slot machine. Two of the middle boys actually "hit it big" on the slots—plenty of bragging rights were dispensed. We played cards, a board game or two, and attempted to complete a puzzle. The "Soup Pot": That 20-foot hot tub is no joke. It was the daily gathering spot and easily big enough to marinate our entire offensive line of children. The Cozy Factor: My wife and the pups set up a permanent base of operations in front of the fireplace. (See included photos of pure bliss). The Service: Brian (the owner) runs a tight ship. He was incredibly attentive, checking in before, during, and after the trip to ensure we weren't struggling. Tom, the property manager, met us on arrival and gave us the lay of the land, and was back midweek to check in — Great hospitality all around. A Small Note on Seasons: We had a very relaxing, much-needed down-time here. Gazing out at the frozen landscape though, you can tell that this house has a "Double XP Weekend" mode in the warmer months. While cozy in winter, I think Adeline's truly shines when you can get outside to fish, boat, and utilize the wild amount of outdoor space available. My wife and I love to kayak, and she is a fisherman, so I could see us planning a return trip to try those activities. The Verdict: If you need to force a family of nerds to touch grass (or at least touch a pool cue), this is the place. Mission accomplished.Janet HIggins
We had a fabulous experience at Adeline’s House of Cool. It absolutely lived up to its name! It was the perfect place for a family holiday celebration. Our grandkids loved the hot tub and playing outside in the snow. The atmosphere was great for conversation. We loved the fireplace and discovering all the unique memorabilia. We’re all making plans for a return visit! We’d highly recommend this unique experience!Deb Zellmer
Had a great time! Kids and adults loved the hot tub, it was nice and hot and very clean! Lots of room for everyone and lots of fun looking at all the collections. Would love to come back in the summer!Cary Winzenried
We’ve been using Adeline’s for our freind Christmas parties for a few years. It’s so much fun! I wish there was more comfortable seating downstairs but, overall, the place is amazing! Book it - you won’t be disappointed!Ashlee Lapotko
This place was amazing. If I could give it six stars, I would. There is so much to do here. Six couples came up and spent four days there and had so much fun. The indoor activities,the outdoor activities, the bar, the pool, the pool table, the horses, the fireman pole the list goes on. I think my favorite part was having a fire inside in the large fireplace. All the games are so cool. There are phones throughout the house that we pranked each other with all the time. We had a murder mystery game made about us friends and the place really set the mood. If you haven’t booked this place, you should because we will be doing this again. I also really thought that Brian has put so much time into this home to make it as cool as it really is. Something like Tim Burton would make. We will be back.AshleeVerified

We love it when guests share photos and videos of their stay and appreciate every photograph shared with us, but there are too many to post on this webpage. Hope you enjoy the guests’ pictures we picked from different seasons, occasions, and areas of Adeline’s.
