About this property
Beautiful Cabin on Scenic WI River/Lake Wisconsin. Close to WI Dells and Madison
Beautiful, spacious cabin located on the scenic Wisconsin River. Enjoy nature with all of the conveniences of home. Stunning 180 degree water views from the home and deck. Our home is located just above Lake Wisconsin on the Wisconsin River. There is a fire pit for night bonfires, grill for barbequing and screened gazebo for relaxing. We have a 20’ dock for fishing and enjoying the view. Enjoy watching all of the wildlife the river has to offer including Sandhill Cranes, Bald Eagles and Blue Heron.
Inside you will find a 2 story vaulted open great room with a spacious dining room and fully stocked kitchen with a 10 foot island. There is an enormous wall of all windows looking out to the river for an open view. The cabin has knotty pine walls, a full brick wall fireplace and rustic cabin décor. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (one full and one ¾ bath). The master bedroom has a King-sized bed with bathroom access. The second bedroom has a queen bed and twin bed with bathroom access. The 3rd loft bedroom overlooking the great room and river has 2 twin beds. There is also a queen size futon. Linens and towels are provided.
Enjoy our beautiful waterfront location or explore our local attractions. The cabin is in walking distance from Hookers Restaurant & Bar with great grill your own steaks and Live music almost every weekend. Located nearby is the fun filled Wisconsin Dells (30 minutes) with world class Water parks, and attractions. Hike and take in the breathtaking scenery at Devil's Lake State Park (30 minutes). Visit the International Crane Foundation that houses every species of Crane (25 minutes). Enjoy a Gambling excursion at Ho Chunk Casino (25 minutes). Explore the MacKenzie nature center with native animal exhibits (15 minutes). Do some wine tasting at Rock N Wool Winery in Poynette or Wollersheim Winery in Prairie Du Sac.
If you are up for being on the water, enjoy boating down river on Lake Wisconsin or to the sand bar islands with sandy beaches on the river for all day fun and relaxation. The public boat launch is just ½ mile down the road if you want to bring your own boat. Rent Canoes or Kayaks from Wild Wisco Waters (608-617-0998, wildwiscowaters@gmail.com) and they will pick you up and take you upriver and you can float and paddle down to the cabin. Burhops (about 10 minutes away) rents pontoons and fishing boats on Lake Wisconsin (608-592-4802).
Please note that we put our dock in when the water level is normal (usually late May to early June but it can fluctuate with rain events upstream). We prefer to rent Saturday to Saturday from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Please contact us prior to booking if you are interested in different days during this time period. For security measures only, please note that security cameras are located on the garage (2) and front toward the river. These devices are strictly for monitoring security and will not invade guests' privacy. There are no cameras located in the interior.

Everything was perfect and effortless from the moment we arrived! The cabin is beautiful and the views of the river were breathtaking! We had a wonderful week making memories with our family that will last for years to come!
Communication with host was very easy. Check in was perfect. The location and view from picture window was incredible. Very peaceful stay.Visited the International Crane Foundation. Highly recommend!
We loved the gorgeous river views and quiet neighborhood. The house was comfortable and well-stocked. We loved that the location was an easy drive to lots of places - the Dells, Baraboo, Madison.
Hosts were gracious and attentive. Viewing wildlife on the river from the living room windows was fascinating.Comfortable beds.Nearby restaurant had great food.

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was nice and worked well. Very comfy. The WI river outside the window was nice.
Great location. Easy access. Many activities close by. One of the most stocked kitchens of all of the properties we have stayed at. Small appliances, cutlery, dishes, pans, and sharp knives etc.
This was our fourth year in the house and John and Jen continue to make it a great place to rent. They are always helpful if you have any questions and it's always well kept up and very peaceful and quiet. Thanks again!!
We had a wonderful stay at this property! It has beautiful views of the Wisconsin River and was close to everything we wanted to see or do. There was room for all of us, plenty of towels, the kitchen was stocked with all the pots, pans, and dishes we needed. The cabin's owners were very kind and responsive to any questions we had during our trip. We will definitely consider staying here again!
Stunning and so spacious! And incredibly peaceful! We wanted to find a place for our family to all stay together for spring UW Graduation weekend. While this property was not in Madison, the proximity and ease of traveling to and from Madison was simple. This was the perfect place for us!
Beautiful location. Wonderful windows overlooking the river. Enjoyed the beach about 20 minutes away as well as a boat day. Enjoyed the log cabin feel. The neighbors were very nice and got to enjoy kayaking down the river as well. Thank you for the stay.
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was very peaceful and felt secluded - especially with the sandbar across the river making it feel like you were really out in nature. The cabin was stocked with everything that you would need. We really appreciated all of the notes that the owner had posted that explained how to operate things and where to find things. The binder provided excellent information on nearby activities and resources. Overall, we had an excellent time and would highly recommend this property.
We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We appreciated that it was pet friendly. The view of the river from the living room is wonderful. We were disappointed that the back yard and dock were unusable due to heavy rains causing the river to flood the yard but realize this was beyond the control of the home owner. Host communication was very good. We would stay again!
Our stay included a senior couple for the week. The weekend included a son and daughter in law and 4 grandkids. The home was very comfortable and clean. The kids had room to explore. All bedrooms were upstairs except for a futon in the laundry room. The path to the main door to enter was gravel. Spacious family room, kitchen very equipped and plenty of dining space. The owners were easy to reach and very accommodating.
This is our third year in a row staying at the house and it was another wonderful experience. It's quiet, but close enough to get places like Madison and the Dells. The Roku wasn't working but John and Jen were right on it and ordered a new one but when it was delayed, John brought out one a couple of days later and put it in. They are both very helpful and respond very quickly to any needs. The house is amazing, the two refrigerators are a real plus, and the bed is very comfortable. The water level was low so hard to get on the dock as the bridge was steeper for older people:) The river does go up and down but still so serene to be on it and always enjoy our time. Thanks much!!
We had 5 adults and 3 kids visit the Dells in July, this was a nice place to return to everyday. There was plenty of space for us. Beds were comfy. We came back and made dinner several nights and kitchen had everything we needed. We used the grill as well. We enjoyed fires in the evening and neighbors were nice. Kids enjoyed playing on the dock and looking for toads. Washer and dryer are older so they do run a little slow, but they got the job done. There is a small park and restaurant nearby. We brought our own but they did have soap and shampoo in each bathroom, plenty of towels (even had some beach towels we were able to use), plenty of extra bedding in closets. There are lots of notes around the house letting you know how to run things (lights, TV, fireplace, etc). Only thing I could see being a problem is all bedrooms are upstairs so if you had someone that doesn't do stairs well, they would have to use the futon in the laundry room to sleep on. (my son slept on it and had no problems). We would def stay again if we return to the area.
Nice little scenery and cabin. Hosts were very accommodating...couldn't ask for a better experience. Highly recommend if you're in that area. Will book again if life brings us out that way again.
5-star, top notch. Already talking about a future visit. Something for everyone and felt at-home as soon as you walk in. The host is very attentive and a pleasure to work with.
Lots of adventuring all the hidden beaches always able to walk across to mutiple islands. The house and views amazing. 2 years in a row have been awesome. I love it!!!!. Sandy beaches and islands anywhere. Highly recommended
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The "cabin" was so well outfitted with what you'd hope to find from linens to kitchen tools and dishes. Two full sized refrigerators were great as well. This is a very nice rental indeed. It felt as though we were on the water as the large picture windows display the Wisconsin River flowing by as you sit in the comfortable living room. Highly recommend this and want you to know the owners were excellent to work with.
