About this property

Little House in the Big Woods on the Prairie

This little cabin in the woods over looking a prairie is a great space for travelers that like to be cozy and secluded.

Just 5 minutes from the city of Baraboo and 7 minutes from the Devil's Lake State Park entrance. It features modern comfort for solo travelers or couples.

Guest access

A private driveway will lead you to the cottage, which is surrounded by woods and prairie. There are 30 acres of woods and prairie with established walking trails that you can hike or stroll through. Very private and enchanting! There is a parking spot provided for you about 300 feet from cabin. If you arrive late at night, it can be very dark. We suggest using a flashlight or your phone to navigate the path safely. Easy self-check-in system with door code. Bring firewood if you plan on having a fire in the fire pit.

Other things to note

We are so close to many amazing activities in Baraboo and the surrounding area. I have provided a list of some of my recommendations.

To lock the front door when leaving, close the door securely and press the padlock symbol on the keypad. You should hear the door locking.

Absolutely loved the stay! My partner and I loved the remote feel, the quiet nights but also how close it was so attractions like Devils Lake State Park and downtown Baraboo. The vrbo was super clean and very cozy feeling with perfectly working heating and water. Kitchen was stocked and everything worked perfect! Thank you to our gracious hosts, we truly enjoyed our stay and would love to come again!

We had an amazing time at the Little House! It was so cute and had fantastic views of the prairie from the deck. We enjoyed walking all the trails along the property and loved the convenience to hiking at Devils Lake and the restaurants in Baraboo! It’s a great place to relax and just enjoy nature and even though it’s a tiny home it had everything we needed! Plus a thoughtful basket of snacks and coffee was provided. Could not have asked for a better stay! We will be back and would highly recommend to others!

Fantastic visit! Since it rained for most of the weekend, we weren’t able to explore much but the grounds were beautiful. Check in was smooth, all the appliances worked. Check out was easy which made it very stress free. We’ll definitely be back!

I loved my stay here. A wonderful tiny home laid out and furnished expertly. I felt right at home. My favorite was drinking coffee on the deck early in the morning, looking at the prairie, with the dawn rising and a full moon in the sky. Owls and cranes calling. The host has made trails both in the woods and prairie which we walked daily. I definitely will return perhaps in late spring to see the prairie in that season!

The Little House provided me the transition from tent camping to the feeling of camping without all the worry and work. Check-in was simple. The kitchen facilities and related equipment were perfect for my menus. I was comfortable in both the bedroom and bathroom. Though it is a little house, I’m not- little, 6’6” 302lbs, think a GB Packer left tackle. The location provided excellent access to my search for wineries, breweries, and distilleries.

Beautiful location, lovely pine walls, we live in small house, but this cabin could have been a tad larger. we were tripping over each other. extremely well kept, prairie outdoors is gorgeous, love the philosophy of the owners would likely return, emailing to contact the owners was a bit difficult especially when wifi didn't always work
