About this property

Fully furnished vacation cottage, located on the lower Wisconsin Riverway. UNWIND by taking a short walk down our path to our private Wisconsin River shoreline. RELAX, have a seat and feel the calm of the river flowing while you enjoy a fire in the pit and take in the sunset. Pause by the pond fed by an artesian spring trickling over the rock ledges. Think deeply as you walk the labyrinth. Identify the species of birds in the sanctuary or catch a glimpse of eagles, white pelicans, geese, turtles, deer and much more. ENJOY the creation around you.

Originally, this cottage was an Army officer's barracks at Truax Field, Madison, WI during WWII. It was moved to this Wisconsin River location in the 1970s. A family lived here until it was renovated in 2006 as a vacation rental.

Cozy Comfort on the Wisconsin River

My partner, dog, and I had a wonderful stay! The cottage was comfortable and met our needs. The property is beautiful, and we loved the access to the river with our kayaks. Mazomonie and Sauk City are cute little towns to explore with some really good food! (Highly recommend Green Acres for a supper club experience and The Old Feed Mill for some cool ambience .)

Peace on the River, Comfort in the Cabin

The place was perfect for our gals get away. The cabin and property were perfect for relaxing and reconnecting. We enjoyed time down by the river during the day and at night with the fire (plenty of wood and chairs). We were excited to see a couple of eagles, turtles and even heard some crazy coyotes in the distance. The cabin seems very updated, nice size and comfortable furniture. We also enjoyed hiking, biking, breweries, winery, and a bit of shopping in the area. Thank-you!

Terrific Getaway Spot

The unit is well kept and had pretty much everything we needed, sans food, on site when we arrived; we ended up way overpacking, thinking it would just be someplace to stay in. It also feels a lot larger than the stated square footage. The land it's on is beautiful and the nearby town has a great brewpub (Vintage) and supper club (Green Acres), and it's close to House on the Rock as well. I'd recommend staying there, but I kinda also want it free for the next time we have a long weekend planned.

Beautiful Sunsets and a Relaxing Stay

Very nice, cozy cottage with a great view for sunsets on the Wisconsin River! Clean and had everything available we needed such as air conditioning, grill, and fire pit with plenty of wood! The location was perfect for day trips to 13 surrounding state parks and exploring Madison. My husband, our adult daughter and I had plenty of room. It was so nice to bring ‘Summer’ our yellow lab too! We enjoyed our time together at your Wisconsin Retreat! Thank you!

Cozy Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay in the Sandwood Cottage. It's perfect for 2 people--very clean and comfortable and having access to the river overlook made it quite memorable. Our one complaint is that the listed price was a little misleading--after all the fees were added the cost increased quite a lot.

Wisconsin Wilderness Paradise

The cottage was very cute and clean, well equipped. Sitting on the patio enjoying the scenery, birds and nature every morning was fantastic. The river views and fire pit were spectacular. Travis (owner) was great to work with and very responsive. It was very hot during our stay and the A/C worked great. Only negative was the water level was low due to lack of rain this year which impeded some activities. This was one of the nicest VRBO rentals we have ever done. And our little dog had a great time!
