About this property

The Rest Is History: A Whimsical Victorian Escape

  • Step into this storybook Victorian home for an unforgettable getaway close to downtown Baraboo, Devil’s Lake and the Dells! This historic estate is registered and operated as a licensed multi-unit residential lodging house. To ensure our guests experience maximum privacy and comfort, our calendar is configured in an "Exclusive Buyout" format - A single group reservation grants you private, exclusive access to all 4 permitted lodging units, private baths, and shared common spaces in the estate - with 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths, there’s room for everyone to spread out—two bedrooms even have private bathrooms for a little extra privacy. Cozy up with a book in one of the multiple sitting rooms, lounge in a swing on the wrap-around porch, enjoy a movie in the private theater room (complete with a popcorn and candy station), or gather for a game night — all at the same time! With quirky decor, period furniture, and playful touches around every corner, this is a home made for laughter, fun, and unforgettable memories.
    Start your mornings at our stocked coffee bar and then head out to explore. You’re just two blocks from downtown Baraboo, where the town square comes alive with seasonal fairs, and the historic Ringling Theater hosts live performances. Devil’s Lake is only 5 minutes away for swimming, boating, picnics, and hiking. For extra thrills, Wisconsin Dells is 15 minutes away, and winter fun awaits at Cascade Mountain.
    Perfect for family reunions, group getaways, or multi-generational trips, this Victorian gem blends historic charm with big-family fun. Pack your bags, grab the kids, and let the adventure begin!

I cannot say just how impressed our group was with this property. First of all, the amenities were great. Having access to laundry and AC was crucial as we did a lot of swimming and we were there for a very hot stretch of the summer, so that was lovely. The rooms were excellent and comfortable. Everything was easy to use and find in the home. There was no need we had that wasn't already covered. On top of that, the place was just beautiful. The decorating touches and the historic details were impressive and really thoughtful. My husband's parents said over and over again how much they were pleased with the find. We all got a little obsessive over some of the little puzzles they had stashed around and that became competitive. My son, who was five, even got into a tic-tac-toe board and a few of the board games. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for a group hang in and around the Dells or Devil's Lake. We were so close to so many fun things to do, but when the heat kept us trapped in the house for one day during our stay, we still had a great time just hanging out together because there was a lot to do and we were all so comfortable there. We have rented a number of places together as a family and this was a real high point in our rental history.

The property is amazing. My wife said her only wish was that we could’ve spent more time at the house! We had a full schedule so we didn’t spend much time at the house.
