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.

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!
