Great place for skiing or visiting the Dells
My wife and I had a great time with our 4 young kids (7-11 years old) at this place. The kids were able to play in the snow a bit and we were close to skiing at Cascade (about 10-15 minute drive) or a 45 minute drive to the indoor water parks at the Dells. The place had a great kitchen that was well stocked. The bedrooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. The kids enjoyed the pull-out couch in the second living area. There is only one bathroom, but it is well-equipped and spacious. The shower valve was acting up a little on the last day, but we got it to work and Wendy was on it to get it fixed the day we left. Wendy was very attentive and reached out to us to make sure everything was good to go. Great property to spend some good family time!

Perfect nature getaway - close to skiing and Dells!
We loved our stay at Rustic View! The onsite hiking and bonfire pit was perfect. It was a quick drive to Cascade for skiing and tubing. We also spent time in the Dells which was easily accessible. The house was very accommodating for our family of 5 and dog. The beds were comfortable with quality linens. Feels very remote but with easy access to area attractions.

Quiet Cottage Getaway
A great place to get away from the city, yet close enough to many interesting attractions! We thoroughly enjoyed the house, the overall property, and the location. We hope to come back again someday with our kids and grandchild!

Perfect Retreat
The cottage is very clean and comfortable. The beds were especially comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows. The bathroom ‘makes it or breaks it’ for me and this one is clean, large and the shower has plenty of water pressure and hot water. The kitchen is well stocked. Bring a lighter or matches and lighter fluid if a campfire is desired. There is plenty of wood and kindling can be easily found. The campfire ring has many seating options for a group around the fire. The livingroom has a Roku TV which was great for us signing into our own apps to watch television. Remember to sign out on checkout 😊. We used the laundry and the machines are clean and work great. The grounds are beautiful. Our dog enjoyed walks thru the woods as did we! We had cold autumn weather and were able to experience some snow! We had a great time. Our plans changed and the hosts were easy to communicate with and accommodated our change in plans. The location is great if interested in skiing at Cascade or spending time in WI Dells. Portage and Baraboo are both close. The drive in the countryside is well worth the stay. It is stunning topography. Thank you for a peaceful stay!

Secluded getaway
We love visiting this property. Very private place nestled in the woods, yet within driving distance to Devil's Lake, Portage, Baraboo, Merrimac or Wisconsin Dells. The owner is very accommodating and easy to communicate with. If you want to "get away from it all" this is a great place to stay!

The perfect getaway
My wife and I spent our honeymoon at this place and it couldn't have been better. The inside was nice and comfortable and roomy and the outside was great for walks during the day and using the firepit in the late afternoon evening. We will be back for more!

Beautiful area-very nice cottage
We came for three nights the beginning of October. The cottage was in a beautiful, quiet, location surrounded by bluffs in their fall colors. It was super clean and the beds so comfy! Lots of space inside and out. Great fire pit, huge covered porch to sit and have coffee. Close to Devils Lake State Park, and fun shopping in Baraboo. Wendy the host was a gem to work with. You won’t be disappointed if you chose to stay here!!

Peaceful Retreat
Loved this house. It is very roomy with two living rooms, dining area, two bedrroms with king-size beds. Very clean and comfortable. House is in a very private wooded setting. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the front porch. We don't have a dog at present but were amazed by the way the house is set up for those traveling with pets. The kennel is attaced to the house with a large indoor room for dogs and door the pets can use to access either a caged in outdoor space or a large fenced yard With trees yet! Never have seen such accommodations in our travels. It is a pretty drive thru the countryside to get to the many attractions in the area. Really enjoyed our visit.
