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 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.

Roomy house with a lovely porch, big yard, trails through the acreage, and a wonderful fire pit. We enjoyed this quiet, country home and the nearby hiking trails and Dells boats.

Wendy and Dean were amazing! A snow storm was about to hit that area and Wendy reached out to me letting us know we can come early to avoid it. So thoughtful! They came the next day, but not before asking if we were awake to plow and shovel. We thought that was so considerate. Their pictures really do it no justices. The places was even better than what’s online. We loved that we were able to bring our fur babies too! They had everything for pets! The house smelled great and very clean. We will definitely rebook!

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!

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.

A great place to get away from the city, yet close enough to many interesting attractions! We thoroughly enjoyed the house, the overall property, and the location. We hope to come back again someday with our kids and grandchild!

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!

A great place to get away from things in a remote location. It was very clean and good size cabin, it fit our family of four comfortably. Not too far from Baraboo and Wisconsin Dells.

This was our second year staying at Rustic View Cottage and we had another amazing time. Thanks to Wendy for the great communication and for sharing your beautiful cottage with our family!

Very relaxing. On the way back into the lane that the cottage was on we saw a Momma deer nursing her baby. Just majestic. The dogs loved the ability to run and sniff all the new smells. Very good host.

This home and property is absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful time relaxing at the property with our 4yo and 2 dogs between hikes. I love how dog-friendly the space is, our dogs didn't want to leave! We definitely plan to come back

Second time staying here; have enjoyed it both times. Lots of privacy on a wooded lot, but not too far from Devil’s Lake and other natural area recreation spots. Very nice pet-friendly house with well-stocked kitchen. Love this place! Also highly recommend Tumbled Rock Brewery and Kitchen near Devil’s Lake if you’re eating out.

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!
