Really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable rooms with a well equipped kitchen and fenced in area for our dog. Loved sitting on the covered porch and hearing owls and coyotes in the distance as night set in. Devils Lake State Park, Wisconsin Dells, The Crane Sanctuary and more are waiting for you to explore in this nice area.

Wendy was very welcoming and even brought over her crockpot when she didn't have to.Only negative thing was the wifi and the channels on the TV. So hopefully when we come next time that will be fixed. All in all we had a great stay.

We brought our furry family and had an excellent stay. The location is wooded, quiet and in a great proximity to hiking (Devils Lake) and biking (Great Sauk Trail). Wendy promptly responded to any questions we had and the cottage was set up well for our extended stay (6 weeks). We spent a lot of time exploring Baraboo, Portage and surrounding area. Lots of good restaurants and take out nearby.
