Get Away From It All
We have stayed here multiple times and always enjoyed it. It is secluded enough that you feel totally removed from the bustle of daily life, yet close enough to Baraboo and Devil's's Lake to have access to good restaurants, shopping and outdoor activities. The kitchen is well stocked, linens and towels provided, as well as wifi, TV and even some DVDs if you want to relax with a movie. We always feel very at home here and if you want to "get away from it all" this cabin fits the bill.

Wonderful, peaceful house
We couldn't have had a better stay. The 4 of us attended the Great Dane Club of America National. This year it happened to be in the Dells. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place. The 4 of us really enjoyed the house and the surrounding area view. The house was extremely clean and well care for. I honestly can't think of anything I would have changed.

Peaceful getaway, but close to everything
We had a great "long weekend" visit to the property. Found the peace and quiet / nature we were looking for! Ample room - never felt cramped, all the expected amenities in good working order. Everything was meticulously clean and organized - wish we could have stayed longer. Within about 20-30 minutes from the MANY sights and activities Baraboo and Wisconsin Dells has to offer (which is a LOT!). We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a great getaway!

First trip with young dog
We had a great visit at the Rustic View Cottage. The cabin was large, open and had great space for our 10 month old puppy... both inside and the fenced area. The kennel area is stocked with towels and dog brushes, extra water and food bowls and fenced area with a doggie door to an outside covered kennel space. The cottage is on a dead end road, so there isn't much traffic or noise. There is a small park just 1/4 mile down the road that overlooks the Wisconsin River valley and is great for star gazing. There is a large open kitchen with all the cookware and spices you could need. The bathroom and bedrooms are large and there are two separate living rooms with their own TV. We would have had plenty of space if we would have brought the kids. The only downside is solely due to Wisconsin's abundance of mosquitoes. This year has been especially rainy, so everywhere is a mosquito haven. But, the Rustic View Cottage had a supply of OFF and citronella candles available for outside use. It was perfect for a getaway!

Peacefull Hideaway
We chose this house because of the close proximity to the hikes and all the other activities in the area (Dells, fishing, casino...) We especially liked the very thoughtful setup for the dogs, which includes an inside and outside kennel. We have 2 dogs and prefer to take them with us than to board them. The house met all of our expectations, and the dogs loved it too! It was very quiet and serene. Lots of room for the dogs to run around, and even trails in the woods right next to the house. Everything was about 20 to 30 minutes drive away, and the rides were beautiful. No traffic, just beautiful scenery. We saw a lot of deer along the way. We definitely would like to return, hopefully in winter to ski at Devils Head.

A little bit of wilderness
Very relaxing. On the way back into the lane that the cottage was on we saw a Momma deer nursing her baby. Just majestic. The dogs loved the ability to run and sniff all the new smells. Very good host.

Peace and Tranquility
My husband, dog and I stayed at the Rustic View Cabin May 1-8, 2024. We absolutely loved it. The "cabin" was more a lovely, appointed home. It was quiet and peaceful. The interior was nicely decorated, and the kitchen had everything a cook could want. Our city dog loved the fenced in yard (so many new country smells), and on those occasions when we left to go out to dinner, he was safe and comfortable in the indoor kennel. We hope to visit this lovely haven again! Thanks to Wendy for keeping this "cabin" so clean, warm and welcoming!

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.

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!

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.
