Fire Pit! Patio! Game Room! Hot Tub! Sun Room! Minutes to Baraboo & Dells
Welcome to the perfect secluded getaway. Centered on 5 acres and surrounded by oaks, pines and Wisconsin wildlife. Our sunroom is great for enjoying family, friends and a fire in our vintage fireplace. Our back patio is outfitted with a hot tub, grill, smokeless fire pit and plenty of chairs to enjoy the surrounding wilderness. Our Game Room will keep your crew entertained!
The space This is a 2,855 square foot, 3 bed 2 bath brick home built in the 60's.
Kitchen - Fully remodeled kitchen with new appliances, new cookware, crockpot, griddle, glassware, toaster and coffee maker.
Game Room - We converted the garage into a game room. Complete with 65" TV, Ping Pong, Air Hockey and Darts. Bring your A-Game!
Family Room - Outfitted with a couple couches, a 50" smart TV and a huge bay window that looks out into the front yard. Deer often travel through the front yard and this is a great spot to watch them.
Bedrooms - Is that a cloud you're sleeping on? Close! We took special care in buying mattresses that would ensure a great night sleep. The primary and 3rd bedroom have memory foam and the 2nd bedroom is for those folks that prefer a traditional mattress.
Bathrooms - The main bathroom features a double vanity, full tub/shower. The 2nd bathroom is located in the Primary Bedroom and features a single vanity, full tub/shower.
Please feel free to explore the 5 acres.
Notes: We have super fast internet, but cell phone service is spotty. I suggest that you connect to the internet and then use wifi calling on your phone.
Our sunroom is not air conditioned. On summer days it can get warm in there. You are welcome to open windows and use the fan.
Our laundry area is in the basement and is not the newest or prettiest equipment, but it works well. We supply enough detergent to get you started.
Please note that we only supply enough toilet paper, paper towels and soap to get started. You will likely need more during your stay.
We do not supply firewood. No need to worry though... Most of the local gas stations and retails stores sell firewood. (We do supply some fire starters and kindling.)
We are super excited about our recent improvement.... A Custom Smokeless Fire Pit with pergola and hanging chairs. Please note that this fire pit is NOT designed for water. If it rains on it... no big deal, but if you pour water on it while it's hot, you will stress the metal and likely ruin the welds.
Sunroom Fire Place - This is the only functional interior fireplace. This fireplace is awesome and works super well! However, if you're not careful it can get too hot (above 450 degrees) for the surrounding glass. We have a temp gauge on the hood and ask that you use this fireplace with caution.
Guest access Please note that the only fireplace available for guest use is in the patio. The two fireplaces in the kitchen are NOT to be used.
The Garage/Game Room is not for guest parking. (We have plenty of parking outside the home.)
Other things to note Please note that this home uses a septic system. Please do not flush ANYTHING except toilet paper.

This property was beautiful and fit our group of 6 perfectly. The house comes with a fully equipped game room, hot tub, campfire area, and intimate living room. There was something for everyone- it was a great base for us to stop between activities. There were plenty of towels and blankets provided and the beds were very comfortable!
Enjoyed our stay here!! Perfect location between Devils Lake and the Dells to enjoy the great outdoors and take advantage of the craziness of the Dells. Clean and comfortable accommodations for our family of five. The sunroom was the perfect space to hang out and play cards at the end of the day. Saw three deer in the yard!

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit! It’s nice that the deer decided to visit as well. We glad you enjoyed the sun room. It is really the best room in the house!
Charles called me to let me know there was an issue with the hot tub just before checking in. He was there personally to fix the issue to make sure that we would get to make use of it. He did get it fixed and the kids had a great time in that hot tub over the weekend! Thanks, Charles!

About the host
Hosted by Charles and Libby Chmielewski
Introducing the Chmielewski Family: We are a Mix of Sporty, Artsy, Geeky, Risky and Furry!
We are a party of five that is always on the move. We love all forms of skiing, swimming, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, music and traveling. We live just west of Madison in a neighborhood full of kids, dogs, some fun parents and all sorts of sports.
Me - Charlie - AKA "Sunshine and Rainbows" - I love being outside and doing things. Skiing mostly. Downhill, water and cross country... when I'm not complaining about my latest aliment... Turning forty is tough after a lifetime of rough crashes. I should've included "wimpy" in the introduction...
Libby - She is the mother, the keeper of the schedule and overall the only reason we are still alive. As a 6th grade teacher she comes home knowing that the easy part of her day is past and now she has 4 boys to corral (1 Adult boy, 2 regular(ish) boys and a furry dog boy).
Rowan (9) - He's our social sporty fella. He loves swimming, baseball, soccer, baseball, basketball, gaga ball and dodgeball. He's also a mountain biker, skier and anything else he tries. He is also our picky eater... He doesn't even like the food he likes.
Callum (6) - He is our creative. His favorite subjects include sharks, snakes and dinosaurs. His finished work output is fast! He often completes commissioned artwork in seconds. Cal is also an accomplished playground enthusiast and part monkey. He's mastered the monkey bars and the art of pumping while swinging.
Jett Danger Chmielewski (Our Golden Doodle Pup) - You'd think that the kids choose a middle name as silly as "Danger" for their pup that is anything but dangerous... Nope, it was me.
Cheers,
The Chmielewski's

We chose this spot because of the location and the privacy that 5 acres offered. Such a cool place just minutes from Baraboo, Wisconsin Dells, Devil's Lake and Cascade Mountain.
What makes this property unique
Our sunroom is pretty special. It is the place where people naturally gravitate. The furniture is welcoming and it seems to be the spot where we have the best conversations
