• Perfect Winter Getaway at O'Malley Hideaway

  5/5

  We had an amazing stay at O’Malley Hideaway in Winter, WI. This cabin is massive, offering plenty of space for our group of 14 adults and 14 kids. Every room was spacious and comfortable. The full bar setup was perfect for our gatherings, and the game room was a highlight—with a high-end billiards table, foosball, and table tennis. It’s the perfect cabin for winter, with more than enough room to relax and have fun without needing to leave the property.

  Winter itself is a charming town with a beautiful downtown area, a large grocery store, and great local bars. Our host, Teresa, was fantastic—she was quick to respond and made sure we had everything we needed for a seamless stay. Highly recommend!

• Cabin Like Camping

  3/5

  If you’re planning to go to luxury cabin that’s not what you will expect. This place is more of camping but the luxury to be inside a building with bathrooms and beds to sleep in, rather in a tent. The place is very big and rooming with lots to do inside and outside. It is not up to date if you’re expecting quality. There was a lot of dead bugs by windows, spider webs in bed rooms. You can’t really tell because the lights are very dim. The place is very dusty. Whoever cleaning service clean the place did not do their job. Probably just wiping done kitchen vacuum, trash. The water is very light due its well water, bathroom flushes you’ll have to wait for it to be filled. They have directions of making sure you clean and wash everything before use to eat. Which is understandable we noticed. We bought plastic forks, spoons, and plates to use over the weekend. There was general dollar store near by. Volleyball net was not useable. They do have a lot of wild animals, Deers, raccoons, and geese. Which means lots of their droppings. They have 3 grills so it helped with a family of 20 to cook food. The best thing was the canoe and kayaks to use and enjoy the nature of the river. Fishing if you like to fish, we didn’t catch any, maybe the season we went. The kids enjoyed the game room with the pool table, ping pong, and board games. We took Fall pictures which was beautiful by the river.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Pathao, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. After reviewing your comments with the homeowner, they wanted to respond to your concerns:
  – This property is designed as a peaceful nature retreat rather than a luxury cabin, and the listing reflects this.
  – We’re aware that pests can be more prevalent at certain times of the year as they seek warmth. The cabin is regularly treated to control this, and the presence of dead bugs indicates the treatment is effective. Our cleaning team has been asked to pay extra attention to window sills and webs to ensure these areas are fully cleared.
  – Many areas in the cabin have dimmable lighting for adjustable brightness. When the lights are turned up fully, the space is very bright. We would have been happy to assist with these settings if you had reached out.
  – We’ll address your comments about dust with our cleaning service to ensure the home feels fresh and fully prepared for each guest.
  – The property uses well water, tested annually to ensure high quality. It may feel different from city water, as it’s not chlorinated.
  – The property has five toilets, each of which requires a brief pause between flushes to allow the tank to refill, which is completely normal. However, repeated flushing without a refill can lead to clogs, so we’ve placed a sign as a reminder to let the tank fully refill before flushing again.
  – The posted dishwashing instructions are a county requirement designed to maintain the best health and safety practices for all guests.
  – The volleyball net has been removed for the season and will be replaced in the spring. We’re updating the listing accordingly.
  – Wildlife is abundant in this area, as noted in the listing to help set clear expectations for guests.
  It’s wonderful to hear that you and your family enjoyed the spaciousness, game room, and access to the river with the canoe and kayaks. We hope those experiences helped create some memorable moments! Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

  Nice remote location to stay for family and children with activities to do over the long weekend

  However those who come from downtown or suburbs make sure you come with cooking items , less variety of chain restaurants near by . Also had wonderful local coffee shops near by
