About this property

3 Bed, 2 Bath Cozy Home Across from Zoo in the heart of Baraboo.

I found this home on my birthday and knew it was MY home. I happily lived here for 10 years and loved it. Life took me in a different direction but I'm fortunate enough to be able to keep it in my life and thrilled to give you the opportunity to enjoy it. Directly across the street from Ochsner Park and free admission Zoo, enables you to enjoy the animals right from the front porch. Adjacent to Ochsner Park, is Baraboo's 3 mile Riverwalk that is part of the Wisconsin Ice Age Trail. If shopping is on your list, you are 0.5 mile from the downtown square and all it has to offer. 5 miles to Devil's Lake State Park, 12 miles to Wisconsin Dells, 14 miles to Cascade Mountain, 40 miles from Madison. Dane County Regional Airport and Dells Baraboo Airport service the area.

For the safety and security of guests and owner, 1 outdoor camera is placed on the garage to capture the driveway and front and back entrance of the property and 1 camera in utility area.

Fun in Baraboo

House was perfect for our group of 2 couples! Super clean, well-appointed with everthing you could think of, patio was perfect for happy hour, and the front porch swing was the best! Enjoyed the free zoo directly across the street. Great location for exploring and sightseeing.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 June 2026
I'm so sorry to hear this now! I absolutely could have explained how to get to both. While we don't have laundry listed for our property we typically do make it available for those that have a longer stay. Cleaner may have inadvertently locked the door to laundry but I could have gotten you access very quickly. BBQ grill is also on property and I could have explained where to find it. I apologize for any confusion but hope you had a good overall stay and enjoyed time with family. Tracy

Nice vacation home

The house was well furnished and had plenty of space for my family to spread out and relax. It had nice amenities, was clean, and was in a good area well away from the tourist traps in Wis Dells while being a short drive to everything we wanted to do.

Great stay!

The property was very clean and well equipped. The A/C worked good. The beds were a little soft for my liking but not everyone likes to sleep on a rock (like my wife would say). Overall a great place to stay. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy

Host profile image

My better half has been a lifelong Baraboo resident. While I grew up only 20 minutes away and have always been familiar with Baraboo, I have enjoyed making it my permanent home since 2010. We very much enjoy everything Baraboo and surrounding areas has to offer. My family and I especially enjoy taking advantage of kayaking the Baraboo river. History, outdoors, shopping, scenic sights, breweries, wineries, waterparks.... The Baraboo area really offers it all.

Why they chose this property

Cozy home that is right in the city, walking distance to downtown and numerous attractions and sights.

What makes this property unique

Located directly across the street from Oschners Park and Free Zoo. Animals can be seen and enjoyed from the front porch.
