170 Year old countryside cottage with deck - Location near Devil's Lake

Summary:

Running Fox Farm



The Space:

Immerse yourself in the easy charm of Southern Wisconsin living at this countryside cottage, newly renovated and beautifully situated with views across the scenic Baraboo countryside. Summer or winter, this quiet home makes a beautiful base for family-friendly adventures.



This two-story farm home sits six miles southwest of downtown Baraboo, looking out across the surrounding hills. You'll be only eight miles from Circus World (celebrating Baraboo as the historical home of the Ringling Brothers) and nine miles from Devil's Lake State Park with its 360-acre lake, 500-foot quartzite bluffs, and nearly 30 miles of hiking trails.



Begin each summer day on the deck with a cup of coffee and a view of the rural setting. It's the perfect spot to return to in the afternoons to barbecue, dine alfresco at the table, and admire the golden hour light.



Exposed ceiling beams bring rustic charm into the living spaces. Enjoy a well-equipped kitchen, a dining table where you can set up board games after dinner. A TV and DVD player are provided with a small library of DVDs. Wifi is available. The bedrooms are upstairs, with a Pack' N Play and a booster seat for your littlest travelers.



Things to Know

This is a much-loved older building, (a 170-year-old restored grainery on a 125-acre farm). As in all country settings, you may see wildlife in the yard and the occasional outdoor insect making an indoor appearance.

This property is managed by VueStay Vacations.

We enjoyed our weekend at Running Fox Farm. The granary cottage is charming, exceptionally clean, and set in beautiful, peaceful countryside. We also felt it was an excellent value.However, several important details are missing from the listing. Although advertised as two bedrooms, the upstairs has two connected sleeping areas without doors. One is an open loft that guests must walk through to reach the other, separated only by a curtain. The upstairs is also open to the main floor, so privacy is limited.The floors on both levels are extremely uneven underfoot, which may be difficult for guests with balance concerns. You also cannot drive to the cottage, even to unload. Parking is uphill, and everything must be carried down a path with steps and grassy sections. We brought a large cooler and would have packed differently had we known. The path is not well lit at night; our niece needed help finding the cottage after dark. The keypad entry itself worked fine.None of the stovetop burners would ignite normally. Management contacted the owner, who initially misunderstood the issue. After we clarified, we received no further response. We found matches and lit the burners ourselves.We appreciated the property's charm, cleanliness, setting, and price. Clearer disclosure of the layout and access, plus better maintenance follow-up, would help future guests decide whether it's right for them.
