Rocky Glen Condo - forest nest on Baraboo bluff

One bit of change advised me by Vrbo:
Vrbo now collects from you the Wisconsin State and Sauk County and Town of Merrimac tax of 12.5%.
The taxes are on the room rate only...per night.
___________________________________________________________________
Unit 4 is perched amongst a canopy of oak and birch trees - coffee on the balcony in the company of leaves and branches over 2-stories from the ground! Unit 4 is one of eight condominiums in a building nestled amongst a mature birch/oak forest with glimpses over the Lake Wisconsin valley. Casual, whimsical, bright furnishing. Italian ceramic floor in bath. New step-in rainfall shower. Woodburning stove insert in the original, beautiful, stone fireplace. Small firepit outside for quiet summer/fall eves; or hearty-folks roasting s'mores in winter.
Lovely, oiled-teakwood laminate floors LR and Hall - new faux-wood laminate in kitchen and bedrooms. You may find yourself resting on a pillowcase embroidered by my Cornish grandmother; or snuggled under a quilt made of squares of men's suit material; or find pencil drawings sent from the trenches of WWI from grandpa Pengelly (Tom) to grandma Pengelly (Olivia) in Cornwall.
Poke about...little surprises all over.
AND...and whole bass fiddle case of books presiding over the living room!

Wildlife sightings - deer, turkey, raccoon, owl, and birds of all sorts fly over or walk through these remarkable surrounds. Marvelous earthrise and earthsets. I think the trees up here talk.

Parfrey's Glen official entrance is a 20-minute walk away. Devil's Lake is a 10-minute ride. Devil's Head Ski/Golf Resort is 200 yards down Bluff Road. Quaint Merrimac FREE ferry (seasonal). Cascade Mountain Ski/Snowboarding or Wollersheim Winery/Sauk City - 20-minute ride. Attraction notebook available in unit.

There are several new distilleries under construction in Baraboo...and Vintage Brewery is up and going in nearby Sauk City/Prairie du Sac area.

Plenty of QUIET. Noise restriction after 11p. You could write your book here! Remarkable views. Friendly condo neighbors.

Keywords: Condominium - Rocky Glen is about 300 yards up Bluff Road and on the opposite side of the entrance to Devil's Head Ski and Golf Resort

We so enjoyed our stay! Lesleigh kindly met us at the door and showed us around. The place is set among trees on a hill. Perfect for relaxing out on the deck or looking out the windows at the nature all around! We plan to come again!

Relaxing stay
Amazing condo in the woods! Lesleigh was a great host and very responsive. The apartment was well decorated, super clean, and had everything we needed. I liked having a fire after a hike on a cold winter day. The closeness to Parfrey’s Glen and Devil’s Lake was a huge plus.

Eclectic decor in wooded setting
From meeting Lesleigh (the owner) for an initial tour, to exploring all of the decorative touches, to enjoying a wide assortment of music, to being surrounded by books, to enjoying the rainfall shower, to warming up by the cozy fireplace, to being immersed in the trees - this was by far one of my most favorite places to stay. Ever. And it was impeccably clean. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful home to rent while we hiked in Devils Lake State Park, just a 10 minute drive away. All of that being said, I would not recommend this place for young children as there are just too many delicate things to be broken. It should also be noted that this is a walk-up, second story dwelling.

Beautiful Getaway
Lesleigh’s place is the perfect spot to gather with friends in a lovely setting. It’s close to everything - Parfrey Glen, Devil's Lake State Park, and Baraboo. The condo is fully appointed with everything you could need. It's on the second floor with windows that frame two sides of the living room and a view of beautiful trees (particularly lovely in October). Lesleigh is great with communications and responds quickly to any needs that arise.

We came up to see colors of leaves and the place did not dissappoint. You don't have to go anywhere, there are colors all over the area and the place feels like it is in the trees! Love this place.

Cozy Getaway in the Woods
Lesleigh’s condo in the woods makes a cozy getaway and a good jumping off place for exploring Devil’s Lake, Baraboo (15 minutes) and the WI Dells (20-25 minutes). We found it a comfortable place to stay with our family, and appreciated the comfy beds, couches, and stocked kitchen. Lesleigh was an accommodating host and was quick to answer any questions we had. We also enjoyed the cozy, artsy decor and proximity to the woods. Tip: Palfrey’s Glen is less busy weekdays. One note: Louder noise will carry to the condo below. The residents below live there part-time, but it’s something to take note of. Still, don’t let that dissuade you from renting if you’re traveling with kids. This place is a good value and family friendly!

Great tree house feel close to the parks!
Lesleigh was the best host, she came over to greet us when we arrived. Showed us where everything was, and was super sweet. The condo itself was perfect, the couch was super comfy, loved the smart TV for Netflix after a long hike. The location was great, close to mirror lake and devils lake, we’d love to make Rocky Glenn an annual trip!

Peaceful, perfect and all you need!
The pictures do not do this little gem justice! Lesleigh was kind enough to meet & greet us upon arrival and walking in gave an overwhelming feeling of pure comfort! It was super clean and has a kitchen with all the necessities needed to cook a great meal, store items you need to keep for the week, and even baggies to store things you need to keep dry on your trip to devils lake! The balcony out back was perfect for morning coffee - watching the fog lift from blanketing the trees in the morning was one of my favorites! The kitchen table was perfect to enjoy dinner with family and friends and then share laughter after playing games into the night. The bathroom is a sanctuary of peace with a great walkin shower with your choice of rain fall or regular shower head. A firepit to relax at night with firewood on hand. Our pup loved all the woods around to explore. The only thing i would suggest is bring a map in case you dont get cell service. Lesleigh was amazing & we would for sure stay again & reco to anyone!!
