DELLSHIRE RESORT

Hotel, Family Entertainment Center, Restaurant

Overlooking a creek with stunning views of the Kilbourn Dam, this medieval inspired destination resort features 208 hotel rooms, an indoor-outdoor pool, a family entertainment center, restaurant, and meeting spaces. Upon entering the majestic grounds, visitors are greeted by Golspar, a 60-foot fire breathing dragon guarding the DellShire. Leading to the entryway, the hotel is adorned with ornate sculptures, decorative corbels, flaming torches, and iron ridge cresting. The medieval motif carries throughout the property, both inside and out. Stone masonry, woodgrain siding, and cathedral style windows evoke the charm of a 16th-century manor, transporting guests back in time. 

Future phases will introduce unique accommodations including treehouses and earth homes. Burrowed into the hillside, these village style dwellings will offer cozy lodging for families and large groups. These homes resemble storybook cottages, while the treehouses rise majestically above the lush surroundings, blending whimsical design with natural beauty. Whether planning a week-long family vacation or a brief weekend getaway, Wisconsin Dells’ newest attraction promises an unforgettable experience for guests of all ages.

This project is located on the former Fort Dells site and is the first step of a long-term plan to revitalize the former tourist park to a national destination again.

From the Client

I have properties in 3 different countries and have worked with 9 different contractors. Kraemer Brothers is by far the best construction company I have ever worked with, hands down.

Hard Hats Replace Backpacks: Schools Undergo Summer Renovations

As school gets out and the summer season begins, we are starting renovation projects for two nearby school districts, including the School District of Reedsburg and River Valley School District.

As the first phase in Reedsburg’s referendum project, the high school library is being renovated into a Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. This project will feature a state-of-the-art fabrication, collaboration, and design/innovation lab that can accommodate both individual classroom learning and large group instruction. The cafeteria will also be remodeled in this phase to include a school store. Future phases of the referendum will include a renovation and addition to support their growing Agricultural Education and Technical Education classes.

River Valley School District is investing into their Technology Education Department. The existing wood and metals shop will be renovated to include new windows, overhead doors, flooring, equipment, and ADA-compliant upgrades. The district is also renovating parts of the high school, intermediate school, and elementary school.

As part of our mission to engage students in every phase of their education, we are proudly employing youth apprentices from each school.

ST. PETER CATHOLIC CHURCH

Renovation

Originally constructed to serve as a school for the children of the parish, St. Peter Catholic Church has transformed over the years to meet the needs of its community. As plans evolved, existing areas were repurposed into a sanctuary, offices, and partitioned space. Fulfilling a vision over 20 years in the making, Kraemer Brothers led an ambitious effort to renovate the facility into a remarkable house of worship.

Work began with the construction of a new ADA-compliant pedestrian ramp and the replacement of the original stairs, greatly improving accessibility and circulation. The church underwent a major renovation, with previously partitioned rooms and cramped offices reimagined as welcoming gathering space, a sacristy, and an efficient office suite. At the same time, the nave and sanctuary were completely renovated—from new entrances and architectural woodwork to modernized flooring, lighting, and glazing. Despite an aggressive schedule, the project was completed on time for Holy Week, allowing parishioners to celebrate in a beautifully revitalized space that honors both tradition and a triumphant return.

COLORADO COMMONS

Multi-Family Housing

Located in the growing City of Sun Prairie, Colorado Commons will help meet the area’s ever-increasing demand for multi-family housing. From the start, Gebhardt Development and Kraemer Brothers values aligned, making for a perfect fit. Varying between 16 different unit floorplans, this complex features 108 units comprised of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites. The large underground parking garage includes a dog wash station, electrical and mechanical spaces, and EV charging stations. Towering four stories above, a combination of lap siding, cedar-textured beams, and stone masonry boasts a luxurious aesthetic. The high-end feel continues with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, designer lighting, and walkout balconies. Reaching into our vast subcontractor database, we worked with 10 new subcontractors on this project, forming relationships for upcoming projects. In total, Kraemer Brothers’ crews set over 4,500 prefabricated wall panels and laid over 18,000 square feet of stone masonry. With proximity to schools, retail stores, and restaurants, future phases include additional multi-family units, a clubhouse, and fitness center.
