Hotel | "Peppertree at Tamarack"

Best Things Nearby:
The Dells, Circus World, Baraboo, the House on the Rock, lovely state parks.

Best Things About the Resort:
Accommodations, proximity to attractions.

Resort Experience:
This was my second exchange to Peppertree at Tamarack. Situated in a beautifully wooded, secluded area, Peppertree at Tamarack offers first-class accommodations with all the amenities one would desire from a timeshare. The staff was friendly and knowledgable, and the amenities very family-friendly. Through spacebanking and an extremely helpful representative at RCI, I was able to secure three units all the same week, enough to accommodate relatives from around the country who converged on Wisconsin to celebrate the 80th birthday of my wonderful mother. Being all together at the same fine resort only added to the joy of this special occasion.

Celebrating was the order of the day. Wally's atmosphere, service, selection, preparation, and presentation made this a most memorable evening. Everyone was delighted with their particular selections, and a great time was had by one and all.

Story/Tip

You can buy yourself "stuff," as George Carlin puts it. You can accumulate money, property, trinkets, baubles, etc. But none of these compare to the making of family memories. Our family will cherish the memory of our gathering in the Dells long after those accumulated "Things" have disappeared or passed on to other hands. It was the togetherness, the celebration, the laughter, and the love which will last. This is the legacy to our children. This is the reason we went in the first place. Thank you, RCI, for helping us make a memory.
