Memorial Day 2025
Our family stayed at the Lily Pad for a long weekend. Our goal was to meet somewhere between St. Paul and Milwaukee's burbs -- this was the perfect place. We specifically looked for something not in the busy part of the Dells.We arrived late on Friday night, and although our GPS had us on the other side of Trout Lake, we were able to find it easily. It's a super cool home, and the cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed in. There was plenty of room and it was very comfortable for the 6 of us. The couch was amazing! And the bathrooms are gorgeous.Although there are 'no trespassing' signs at the neighbors', you can't let it bother you or you'll miss out. The woods surrounding the property give enough privacy to enjoy it. It's a quiet area, and it seems all of the cabins keep to themselves.The patio was where we spent most of our time. We also caught some fish in the lake. It's a perfect little lake for kayaking or canoeing. There was even a snapping turtle sighting! On Saturday, there were races at the speedway so we went over to check it out. It was an unexpected bit of fun!We hiked the blue loop at Mirror Lake, went shopping at the Miller's Foods (don't miss it!), and enjoyed the full supper club experience at Ishnala.The hosts were excellent communicators and thought of the details you might not remember when you are traveling. We are already planning our return to the Lily Pad.5 stars for sure!
