Family and pet friendly house in beautiful Sandy Knoll County Park!

The Sandy Knoll House is a gem with so much to offer. With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone. The large kitchen comes fully equipped with all your cooking essentials. You'll love the cozy living spaces on both the upper and lower levels. Step out onto the balcony to take in the wooded view, or gather around the fire pit in the backyard for a relaxing evening. Plus, you'll appreciate the convenience of the attached garage and onsite laundry units. If you're in need of a comfortable and inviting place to stay, this house is sure to exceed your expectations.

The house is located in Sandy Knoll County Park. All of the county park amenities are available to house occupants. Enjoy the small pond and beach area, playgrounds, disc golf course and pro shop, and 8 acre dog park. Many miles of trails are available for all seasons. Children will have fun on both playground areas with one located very near the house.

Well behaved pets are welcome for an additional fee. We ask that if pets are to be left alone in the house that they be crated. Dogs are not allowed on furniture or in beds.

You should advertise it as “a cabin in the woods”. We didn’t know the area so it was all quite a fantastic surprise. Also let renters know that the park signs call it “the Ranger’s Home”.

Peaceful Independence Day

Beautiful setting! My grandson enjoyed the swimming pond(except for the biting flies). It was very quiet and peaceful especially for a holiday weekend. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect cabin-like setting with simple amenities and lovely surroundings. Perfect for people attending events at Sandy Knoll. A few minor suggestions to share to owners : check appliances are in working order before renting . Wash machine, coffee maker and iron need replacement or repair. Would recommend as a cozy place to stay

Amazing

The Ranger Station is a great place to stay when visiting West Bend. The location gives privacy at night but located in a park with many available daytime activities. Close to numerous stores for any needed items. Also close to Old Downtown, an easily wallable area with many stores and great restaurants. It was our second time renting and will definitely rent here again.

Great family get away

The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking kettles etc. The beds comfortable. It was a perfect gathering place for us. Privacy in the bedrooms and good group gathering space in the kitchen living room.

Nice secluded place

Great place. The only thing I'd say negatively would be that it would have been nice to have some salt and paper products - napkins, paper towels etc.

Sandy Knoll Ranger Home

A wonderful and quiet place to relax and unwind. The home is clean and spacious, with a large outdoor wooded yard. Convenient to West Bend and all the amenities of the county park. Our pup also loved being close to the dog park where she met many new friends.
