When your neighbors posed the idea of camping, a little part of you cringed.
You and North Face do not a happy camper make. The last time you roughed it, you moaned for three days, lamenting the heat and your OFF-scented skin.
Now, if someone had suggested the idea of Wisconsin Dells vacation rentals, you would be all over it.
The Water Park Capital of the World is a veritable playground for families looking for affordable, easy entertainment with access to restaurants, shopping and lodging. More than 20 indoor and outdoor water parks wind their way around the megaplex, a network of lazy rivers, water slides and wave pools.
Off site, you’ll find properties like the Wisconsin vacation cabin pictured, a throwback to the old days with its barn doors, beamed ceilings and stone fireplace. Even the bedroom door is a sliding barn door, a cool touch. The whole house rents for just $875 a week.
Recent renters from Chicago marveled at the charm of the place, calling it a haven outside the city.
“It was wonderful being able to make S’mores while surrounded by the trees in the late night,” said Mihaela.
And wonderful, no doubt, to be able to retire to the cabin away from the critters and crawlers.
