About Us

Hello!

We are Steve and Beth Sharp, and our three sons, Ryan, Andy, and Josh. Beth and I grew up in Stoughton, Wisconsin, a small town in south central Wisconsin. It is known for it’s Norwegian heritage and celebrations.

Leisure and vacation time have always been a big part of our lives. While we have visited many places, one of the best and most often visited has been right in our own back yard, so to speak. We have made excursions on many occasions to the Wisconsin Dells. Our parents took us when we were kids, we had great times here with friends in our late teens, we started taking our own children, and now we like to take weekend excursions for just the two of us. We hope you enjoy your trip to the Dells as much as we have over the past 40 years.

I grew up in the home building and lumber business, and being mentored by my very patient father, I remember pounding nails at the age of five and drafting house plans by fourteen. Most recently, I have been a long-term employee of Amerhart, a wholesale building material company based in Wisconsin. The company is family owned and has been very successful in the Midwest.

Beth has been employed and involved with children’s education in private and public schools for many years. And of course Beth has had more than a full time position raising anywhere from 1-4 boys since we married in 1978. She is a very patient and loving young woman.

We were blessed to have parents who raised us with traditional family values. We in turn were blessed with three healthy baby boys, and are doing our best to pass on those same values. Boys grow up fast, as Ryan, Andy and Josh have all graduated from college.

Ryan graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 2003, and is now married to a beautiful young woman, Jasmine Sharp. They recently made us the proud grandparents of a beautiful little girl. Andy graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 2006. He has an excellent band known as the Sharp & Harkins Band. Andy has also been instrumental in bringing his parents into the 21st century with regards to computers and has been busy assisting us with our travel websites. Josh is the most recent to have graduated from the University of Wisconsin and is also assisting us with the building of the websites.

We have been actively involved in community, youth sports, coaching, church, and family activities over the years. I just recently retired from coaching young soccer players for just about 20 years, and since my son’s team when they were just 5 years old. The boys were very successful over the years as regional champions and ended a great and final high school season as conference champions.

We hope you have enjoyed learning more about us, and will also enjoy your journey in the Wisconsin Dells area. We hope that our information helps you and your family with your vacation plans.
