Wisconsin Dells ~ A "Hot Vacation Spot" On Anybody's Map!

A May 2003 trip to Hot Springs by Arlys

The Wisconsin Dells, 50 miles from Madison, offers the UTMOST in a vacation experience! In summer, the water parks are the "high spot" for the kid in all of us....two great timeshare resort choices are, 1) Christmas Mountain Village, and 2) Peppertree at Tamarack.

We've had a couple of great timeshare vacations at the Wisconsin Dells, in the state of WI.

The first was spent at Christmas Mountain Village, a few miles "up the mountain" from the town of Wisconsin Dells. This is a 4-season resort, and has multiple types of timeshare accommodations, including cottages.

Activities are many and varied, including, of course, skiing in winter. The scenery is fantastic...my husband liked the view from our rear deck so much, that he painted it!

One day, we went with a busload from the resort to visit a winery, which was very interesting! It started my husband thinking about growing grapes (at home in nearby MN), and he eventually did, and wine making followed!

There is much, much, much to do at Christmas Mountain at the Dells...any time of year!

We spent a spring week at the Peppertree at Tamarack Resort, the middle of May. This is a very different resort from CMV, but just as "grand"! It is lacking in nothing...we especially appreciated the indoor tennis courts!

There is a lovely, small lake on site, and there are paddle boats to take you out on it! There's also a lovely pathway around it!

The resort hosts many activities for guests, including game playing! On Monday morning, there's a breakfast get-together held, and here you learn of all the things to see and do during your stay at Peppertree at Tamarack...and the world famous Wisconsin Dells!

Sign up for the Upper Dells Boat Trip, you won't be sorry! This is a "must-see"...it should be put at the TOP of your list of things to do! It's FILLED with adventure...but go on a day when the weather is favorable, it'll be much more enjoyable!

About a 2 hour drive from the Dells, is the renowned "House On The Rock"...visited by thousands every year, you'll want to make a visit to this Wisconsin "high spot" too...

Water Parks are the latest "splash" at the Wisconsin Dells...loved by all kids, to be sure! And, I'm sure, by a lot of adult "kids" too!

And, of course, there are many good eating places at the Dells, including the one named, "Paul Bunyan's"...a real authentic "northwoods" adventure in dining!
