The Great Escape
We were in desperate need of an escape, both for serious health reasons and also because of overwhelming sad news every day. I had saved 8 Does-a -Dancing on my VRBO trip board and was delighted to find it available for two glorioius nights in February when the temps reached into the 60s! This place is outstanding! We have traveled the country and stayed in many wonderful cabins through the years, but we think this one is the best. Nothing has been overlooked to help make visitors comfortable. You will find a multitude of surprises such as a hammock, a porch swing, a game room, a tree swing and so much more! Our favorite is the hot tub and the space for spreading out both indoors and outdoors. Extra blankets, laundry pods, basic cooking seasonings, make up remover pads, huge stacks of firewood and so many other extras that are not common in other places make this property both unique and worth its price. The best place of all is outside, experiencing the solitude and peace afforded by 23 gorgeous wooded acres. We cannot recommend 8 Does a Dancing enough.

A Piece of Heaven!
Oh, my! What a treat! Grace and peace abound here. From the slow drive down the lane, to the fully stocked kitchen, to the inspirational wall art, this cabin was perfect in every way for a retreat from the stress and sadness of the world. The place was immaculate. In the kitchen, treats were provided as well as a professional full-stocked hot beverage bar. The fireplace and hot tub provided much needed quiet and respite time, and the game house had so many options once we were rested. Shuffleboard is a blast, who knew? The loft with its king-sized bed opened to a small furnished balcony! The cabin is smartly decorated and the wood is just gorgeous. There are plentiful large windows that look out at the leafy hillsides. The front porch, deck, and back screened porch provide wonderful places to appreciate the woods--even during freezing rain and snow. The walk down to the pond was delightful albeit it was frozen during the single-digit weather. And the final treat was filling the bird feeders with the provided bird seed!What thoughtfulness offered by this gracious host!!!

Perfect Stay
Loved our stay with Marissa. The house is the perfect cabin in the woods with a beautiful grounds, comfortable furnishings, a cozy fireplace, welcoming porches, and thoughtful touches throughout. We particularly appreciated the considerations for dogs at the house - the gate to block off the top floor was heaven-sent! Location is wonderful as well if you're looking to get away from city an road noise. We will be back for sure.

Everything You Want
This isolated treasure in the woods of Brown County has everything you could ask for in a stay away from home and then some. The home is a beautiful, open concept timber frame house tucked back in a secluded 23 acre property. The game room had a lot of fun games, including: shuffleboard, billiards, and much more. The hot tub in the cold was absolutely amazing. This is ag great cozy stay for a couple or a family looking to take some time away in the woods.

Lots of fun in Brown County
We loved our stay and everything we needed. The property is clean and was well stocked. The game room and fire pit was definitely the highlight. The only mention I would have is the primary bedroom in the loft area does not have a door. It didn’t bother us but might some others. I would definitely book here again!

A terrific property
We have stayed in many homes over the years. Most of them are very good, but in rare instances do they hit every mark. 8 Does a Dancin’ is a dream property for anyone who appreciates nature, peace and quiet and a home filled with amenities and COMPLETELY equipped. We give it our highest recommendation!

Fun Retreat
This cabin is a really fun and comfortable place to get away, in a beautiful and secluded setting. My spouse and I stayed here for two nights in early August. There were so many ways to have fun that we could have stayed a week and not done them all. The house was beautiful, and filled with thoughtful touches like charging stations, Turkish towels, and snacks. The bedding was very comfortable. Communication was good, and check-in/check-out was easy. We would definitely stay here again.

PERFECT Getaway !!!
This home EXCEEDED all our expectations! We rent 3-4 homes a year and this is now at the top of that list. We loved how private it was and had a great time fishing at the pond. The nightly campfires and hot tubbing were very relaxing. The host Marisa did an outstanding job communicating but yet was not intrusive. We love spending time in Brown County and this is now our go-to spot. We will surely be back!

Our Best Get Away Yet!
This property is amazing. Our family made so many memories during our stay - from the great game room, to days boating and fishing at the private pond. We were able to unwind and enjoy our vacation. The communication with the property manager was the best we have ever had, and it was an amazing perk to be able to have bait and firewood delivered to the cabin. The check out process was a breeze. Over all, this is one of the best cabins we have stayed at, and we can't wait to come back.

8 Does a Dancin' Didn't Disappoint
Stayed at the cabin two nights (06/07 & 06/08) and had a great time. The property was very well maintained and included everything you could need for a great experience (minus food); although the breakfast danishes, s'mores kit, and fresh eggs were a nice touch. Enjoyed the pond, hot tub, game room, and fire pit along with the cabin...and of course, the privacy that the property provides. Would certainly recommend this property to others, and look forward to staying again.
