Vacation Rentals in Wisconsin

The Badger State offers a wonderful blend of coastal properties, inner city apartments and rural retreats, with options for everyone’s tastes and budgets. For instance, you could choose a wooden cabin in Wisconsin Dells, to be near the water parks and attractions. Or you might look at destinations on the shores of Lake Michigan like Sheboygan or Cedar Grove.

Wisconsin also offers plenty of urban properties. If you want to check out the galleries of Milwaukee of catch a Brewers game, there’s no shortage of smart, modern apartments to browse. Pick a period home in Madison if you are visiting college friends, or find a comfortable place to stay when you head to a Packers match in Green Bay. At Holidu, you can find something that meets all of your needs.

Located on the border with Canada, on the western shore of Lake Michigan, Wisconsin has a population of just under 6 million people and offers a mixture of cosmopolitan cities, rural resorts and wilderness areas. Even better, the state is easily accessible. Milwaukee is around two hours from Chicago by road, and just 90 minutes by plane from New York.

Most people fly into Milwaukee, in the southeast of the state, but there are airports at Green Bay, Madison and Appleton too. Amtrak run services into Milwaukee and Wisconsin Dells, while Greyhound and Trailways buses knit together the state’s other major towns and cities.

Wisconsin’s landscape varies dramatically. In the east, the lakeshore is flat and relatively well populated. The northern regions feature colder temperatures and mountainous forest, while the Central Plain area is filled with dramatic rock formations and river valleys (the “Dells”) that are a big tourist draw.

If you love to get outdoors, Wisconsin is an excellent vacation destination. You can find solitude in the northern forests, go rafting or walking along the Wisconsin Dells, or hike the Ice Age Trail.

Wisconsinites love sports, and with the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers, the state is a great place to visit for baseball or football fans.

If you know the difference between a saison and an APA, cities like Milwaukee and Madison will be paradise – offering an endless array of craft breweries.

Wisconsin’s weather is something that all visitors should bear in mind. If you want to catch a football game and try craft beer, fall and winter are fine times to go, but everyone else should be aware that temperatures plummet after November. If you want the best sightseeing or hiking conditions, book a vacation rental around June or July.

Festivals are a big part of life in Wisconsin, so make sure you research what’s on near your rental homebefore you go.

There are music events like Summerfest, as well as foodie-friendly highlights like October’s Madison Street Festival.

If you want to get around the state in general, it makes sense to rent a vehicle. For getting between towns and the Dells, a normal car should be fine, but look at 4x4s if you are interested in exploring the mountains and forests of the north.
