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, and a TV to watch your favorite movies on DVD. If you require internet services, the Internet is NOT available. We provide a good number of DVDs. 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). While we work very hard to keep the place clean, it’s possible you may see wildlife in the yard and the occasional outdoor insects making an indoor appearance. If that makes you squeamish, this is not the booking for you!
There is no washer/dryer here.
Cell reception can be spotty.

Positive: The location is very secluded which is what we wanted for a spooky Halloween weekend getaway. There is little to no noise. It was very peaceful. There are trails on the property that you can walk along to enjoy the outdoors and wildlife. We spotted a lot of deer on the property which was awesome. It is also a very short drive to Devil's Lake, Baraboo, and Wisconsin Dells.The house/barn itself had all the amenities we needed. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was great, and the TV worked perfectly (we brought a bunch of movies). We had no cell or internet service which is what we wanted. Negative: There was a mouse in the house. I understand we are out in the country and things happen (There were a lot of Japanese beetles (?) that I was prepared to deal with). However, the mouse was an unexpected and unpleasant surprise. He only came out at night, and unfortunately spent a lot of time roaming on top of the kitchen countertops leaving mouse droppings everywhere. We wiped down the kitchen every morning, but we didn't feel comfortable using it to make food or use any of the utensils provided. We also had to vacuum up the couch/futon every morning as it was clear he had been on it throughout the night too. Overall, the location is as described. We enjoyed our stay but would have preferred one less furry roommate.
