About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Little House in the Big Woods on the Prairie

This little cabin in the woods over looking a prairie is a great space for travelers that like to be cozy and secluded.

Just 5 minutes from the city of Baraboo and 7 minutes from the Devil's Lake State Park entrance. It features modern comfort for solo travelers or couples.

Guest access

A private driveway will lead you to the cottage, which is surrounded by woods and prairie. There are 30 acres of woods and prairie with established walking trails that you can hike or stroll through. Very private and enchanting! There is a parking spot provided for you about 300 feet from cabin. If you arrive late at night, it can be very dark. We suggest using a flashlight or your phone to navigate the path safely. Easy self-check-in system with door code. Bring firewood if you plan on having a fire in the fire pit.

Other things to note

We are so close to many amazing activities in Baraboo and the surrounding area. I have provided a list of some of my recommendations.

To lock the front door when leaving, close the door securely and press the padlock symbol on the keypad. You should hear the door locking.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The cottage also includes a coffee maker.

Had a lovely time at the little cabin! It had everything that we need for a quiant Devil's Lake getaway. The kitchen was excellent and well stocked with pots, pans, plates, etc. We made some delicious breakfasts and dinners. The keurig also had plenty of k cups to get our days started. The shower was great. That water gets HOT!
