DOG POLICY
A $100/fee/dog applies. We require all dogs to be
• House broken & well behaved
• Current vaccinations
• Free of Fleas
This property has special local compliance requirements which include
• ID verification
• Names of all guests (Wisconsin State Requirement)
• A signed rental agreement

We use Happy Guest, a secure, app-free guest portal that makes check-in easy and stress-free. You’ll get everything in one place: arrival info, house rules, and all our favorite local spots. No downloads. No logins. Just simple and safe.
Sugar River Retreat is a living landscape. Our 50 acres of prairie, woodlands, and wetlands are being actively restored to support a diverse and healthy ecosystem. We are proud to partner with the Southern Wisconsin Land Conservancy (SWLC) in developing and carrying out our conservation goals.
Because restoration doesn’t follow a strict schedule, you may occasionally see us—or our partners—working in distant parts of the property. Activities might include seed collection, trail maintenance, or removing invasive plants. Rest assured, all work takes place far from the cabin, yard, and lake to ensure your privacy and relaxation.
From time to time, the University of Wisconsin also hosts workshops in the wetlands or along Norwegian Creek, giving guests a unique glimpse into hands-on conservation in action.
