My husband and I went to the Dells on vacation with our 2 kids (ages 5 and 12) from June 1-8. We rented a timbers unit (#68) from Sheri and were amazed at the property. We had a newly remodeled 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit that included the following:
Kitchen- granite countertops, blender, coffee maker (with filters), fully stocked kitchen (including wine glasses & opener), dishwasher (including detergent), ice maker (makes ice fast), microwave, full size stove and fridge, garbage disposal. Sheri's pictures don't due to justice...it was decorated wonderfully. Not stainless steel appliances, but nice cupboards, black appliances,etc
Bedrooms- 1 king bed, 1 queen bed, huge closets with hangers, flat screen TV's in each room, fan in master with vaulted ceiling, numerous pillows, great linens.
Baths- granite countertops, tiled bath/shower in master, shower in 2nd bath, hairdryer, beach towels, all bath amenities (tp, Kleenex, shampoo, lotion, soap,etc).
Living room-auto fireplace, pull out couch (linens in closet), flat screen tv, dining room table for 6, comfy reading chair, décor is awesome.
Extras: Hard wood floors in kitchen, tile in bathrooms and carpet in living room (beige, not blue!) Large screened in porch with table/chairs, gen aire grill, easy parking, washer and dryer in master closet with detergent. All pools are heated to 82 degrees and are located all throughout the resort with hot tubs. Indoor pool is also nice for rainy days. Check in was easy. Lots of club activities for kids. Also: mini golf (fun), paddle boats, canoes.
This is not like a hotel though, if you need your sheets or bath towels exchanged everyday or are unable to take out your own trash, don't stay here. If you are willing to wash a load a towels (or use the same one for a few days) and walk down the path to empty your garbage this is a great place. It is located about 4 miles from the Dells on a very easy highway to get in and out from. Perfect if you want to "get" away from all the craziness of the Dells at the end of the day! Free Wi-Fi too! Restaurant was also good.

This was by far the best experience we have had with renting this way. Christmas Mountain Village is a beautiful property with lots to do. Kids went tubing and had a blast. The cottage was nice and cozy. Very clean. Sheri was super easy to rent from and the resort staff treated us great. The only complaint was the furniture in the livingroom was really uncomfortable and just worn out. I know they are in the process of a remodel, so I don't really think it is a big issue!

The entire experience was very good. The cabin was clean and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. We loved the fireplace and made ample use of it throughout the stay. The surroundings are beautiful and close to a lot of different attractions/activities. We had no problems or complaints with the stay and would definitely recommend it to others.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Christmas Village. The 2-BR cabin we stayed in was not what I'd refer to a luxurious, but it was very comfortable and quiet, and provided everything needed for an extended stay. We weren't even in the cabin much, because the resort offers to many possible activities, including several pools (indoor and outdoor), a pond for fishing or canoeing or paddleboating, mini golf, a full golf course, tennis and basketball courts (you can check out equipment at the clubhouse), scheduled acitivities at the clubhouse, and more. Best of all, you are only 10 minutes from the heart of the Dells, which is close enough to be convenient but far enough away to be very relaxing.

Not far from the Dells at all, tucked back in the mountains. We had a 2 bedroom cottage with full kitchen which made for affordable dining. There's a Walmart about 10 minutes away & we got our groceries there for the 3 nights we were staying. Upon check in, the screen was damaged, but maintenance made it there to fix it right away (we had our 2 year old with & there was the concern of him getting through it).
Our group consisted of my husband & I, our 17 year old, 11 year old & 2 year old. There were plenty of activities to keep us all busy this time of year.
On a side note, since we had a little one, if the batteries come out of the remote, you will need to call maintenance to come & reprogram the remote. The one thing I wasn't thrilled with was paying for the coffee each day, when the first day they provide it for free. Not a big deal since it was just a buck, but they offer the laundry detergent free of charge. Oh, the laundry facilities were free also, which was nice.
Large facility & we were able to swim until 11 pm, which was nice.
I'd like to check it out in the winter & see what it would be like then.
