The Hot Tub Hideout

Why large groups pick this home

If you're looking for a Wisconsin Dells rental with a hot tub that fits the whole crew, this is it: 12 guests, three full baths and two living areas, on a private wooded acre with a northwoods cabin feel downstairs.

• Hot tub and sauna, any season. The hot tub sits on a covered, screened porch, with an infrared sauna steps away.
• A real game room. Star Wars and Pac-Man arcades, foosball, board games and a 75-inch TV.
• Room to spread out. Two full levels with two living rooms, so the group can be together without being on top of each other.
• Fire pit under the pines. Six Adirondack chairs, firewood, tiki torches and a s'mores kit, on a private wooded acre.
• The sunroom. Cathedral ceilings and windows on three sides, surrounded by tall pines. Best in fall.

Room by room

Main level

• Living room: a 75-inch TV with soundbar, an electric fireplace set in stone, a queen sofa bed and big windows looking into the trees.
• Kitchen: knotty pine cabinets under a skylight, a gas range with griddle, dishwasher, microwave and a reverse osmosis tap for purified drinking water. A breakfast bar seats 3 and the dining table seats 4 to 6.
• Sunroom: a 3-season room with a vaulted pine ceiling, windows on three sides and seating for 8. It isn't heated, so spring through fall is its best time. It opens onto the upper deck.
• Primary bedroom: king bed, private bathroom and a TV.
• Bedroom 2: queen bed and a TV, steps from the hall bathroom.
• Laundry room: full-size washer and dryer.

Lower level

The whole lower level has knotty pine walls and a northwoods cabin feel. It's where most groups end up hanging out.

• Second living room: a reclining sectional, TV and French doors out to the patio.
• Game room: Star Wars Return of the Jedi and Pac-Man arcade games, a glass-top foosball table, board games and a 75-inch TV with soundbar.
• Hot tub porch: covered and screened, so it works in every season. It's open to the outside air, which means winter soaks come with cold air and hot water.
• Infrared sauna: right next to the hot tub porch.
• Bedroom 3: over 33 feet long, with a full bed, a twin trundle, a futon and a TV. The rollaway beds can be set up here too.
• Full bathroom: steps from the sauna and hot tub.
• Workspace: an adjustable standing desk and office chair.

Outside

• Upper deck with seating and the gas grill
• Lower patio with loungers
• Stone fire pit in the middle of the wooded acre, with six Adirondack chairs and tiki torches
