Get Away From It All

We have stayed here multiple times and always enjoyed it. It is secluded enough that you feel totally removed from the bustle of daily life, yet close enough to Baraboo and Devil's's Lake to have access to good restaurants, shopping and outdoor activities. The kitchen is well stocked, linens and towels provided, as well as wifi, TV and even some DVDs if you want to relax with a movie. We always feel very at home here and if you want to "get away from it all" this cabin fits the bill.

Peaceful getaway, but close to everything

We had a great "long weekend" visit to the property. Found the peace and quiet / nature we were looking for! Ample room - never felt cramped, all the expected amenities in good working order. Everything was meticulously clean and organized - wish we could have stayed longer. Within about 20-30 minutes from the MANY sights and activities Baraboo and Wisconsin Dells has to offer (which is a LOT!). We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a great getaway!

Peaceful R&R

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Communication before/during/after our stay was wonderful and you get the feeling the hosts truly want to take care of you. As soon as we walked inside, we felt welcome and that the place was going to offer the peaceful, serene vibes we were looking for. Highlights were - the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked, the master bed was very comfortable with nice sheets, the bathroom towels were thick and soft (which is often lacking at rentals), water pressure was great, and it was very dog-friendly. We were so "in the country" that at first I didn't believe we were so close to towns with restaurants, shops & bars - but with a 15 minute drive or less, there were all of these things. This property would be perfect for a Fall trip!

We love visiting this property. Very private place nestled in the woods, yet within driving distance to Devil's Lake, Portage, Baraboo, Merrimac or Wisconsin Dells. The owner is very accommodating and easy to communicate with. If you want to "get away from it all" this is a great place to stay!

Wonderful, peaceful house

We couldn't have had a better stay. The 4 of us attended the Great Dane Club of America National. This year it happened to be in the Dells. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place. The 4 of us really enjoyed the house and the surrounding area view. The house was extremely clean and well care for. I honestly can't think of anything I would have changed.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at this place and it couldn't have been better. The inside was nice and comfortable and roomy and the outside was great for walks during the day and using the firepit in the late afternoon evening. We will be back for more!

Great stay near Baraboo!

We had a great time exploring Devil’s Lake State Park and Mirror Lake State Park during our stay. Perfect location and such a homey place to relax. Was great having a place for our dog as well when we couldn’t bring her to some of the places we visited. Definitely recommend!
