Ski Trip Year 2!

We had just a wonderful time at Granny‘s cottage! We stayed here about two years ago for our first friends ski trip and loved it so much that we booked it again this year. The location is great for skiing at Cascade Mountain. The home is tucked away, nice and private for a fun getaway.

Annual fall trip

Gramma’s cottage was the perfect stay for my family. We had a wonderful time sitting around the fire pit and enjoyed the peacefulness of the yard. We will definitely be back! Thank you Gretchen!

Cozy, comfortable, and clean

This really felt like home once we got settled in. The space is decorated nicely with plenty of space to set out our personal items. Everything was very clean and smelled fresh. The location was perfect - close to town but secluded for privacy and relaxation.

Summer stay

Perfect location for Devil’s Lake vacation, literally short 6 minutes drive just remember to get to the beach earlier on busy weekends. Plenty of space for 5 year old to roam and for little dog to get his exercise in. Kitchen and rooms have all you will need and more (we did brought our own air fryer as my 5 year old likes what she likes :)). Quick drive to Wisconsin Dells so it’s easy to go explore there too. We visited during extreme heat and we are glad to to say between the trees and ac the house was always comfortable

Close to Baraboo & Devil's Lake

The cottage was in the middle of nowhere, but 10 minutes to both Baraboo and Devil's Lake. The kitchen was fully stocked, more than any place we've ever stayed before. Any question we had was responded to within a reasonable amount of time, often minutes.

Great for our ski trip!

My friends and I stayed at Granny’s cabin as a place to crash during our ski trip. The cabin ended up being the perfect spot for us with plenty of space to rest after our skiing adventures. The cabin is stocked with tons of fun games and movies that kept us entertained in our down time. The only issue we ran into was one of our group member’s car struggled to get up the unplowed driveway. I definitely recommend a 4-wheel drive car if you stay here after a heavy snowfall. We are definitely interested in staying here again for future ski trips!

Cozy Place

It was very nice and away from everything, just like we wanted. The house was like staying at your Grandma's house, very cozy and not far from the lakes and Wisconsin Dells. Our only wish is that there would have been more toilet paper and hand soap, other than that it was a very nice Grandma style home.

Great place for a short winter getaway!

We booked Granny's cottage for a 3-day weekend ski getaway at Cascade Mountain. The place was great and the owner, Gretchen, was very responsive to questions during our stay. We had some issues getting up the driveway (it's uphill; we arrived a day after a big snowstorm in 0-degree weather), and she had somebody out to sand the driveway the next day.
