We loved every minute of our little getaway. We could live the rest of our lives sitting in the hammock chairs on the front porch. The big table was perfect for puzzles and games. It was cozy and charming. We plan to come back!

We came for a three night stay with our dogs and two children (6m and 4y). The first thing I noticed was how clean and well maintained the cabin was. The dogs enjoyed roaming the property and their own couch under the TV to relax on. We enjoyed being close enough to the Dells to visit but also far enough away to disconnect and focus on time together as a family. We will be returning!

This cabin was absolutely perfect for us. The kids loved the bunk beds and being able to play outside. It was so convenient to cook and make meals. The kitchen had everything you could need. The beds were plush and comfortable. Blackout curtains worked great for nap times. Getting to and from the Dells waterparks was a breeze and being able to come back to a quiet cozy cabin was wonderful. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

The cabin was absolutely perfect. First off, Joe was very accommodating on the check-in! It is close enough to the Dells but still allowed for a peaceful getaway! The cabin and grounds are very well taken care of...truly enjoyable experience. The cabin had everything we needed! The beds were very comfortable. The large grounds allowed our dogs to run and play as well. The hummingbirds and swings on the porch were a real treat. Clean and comfortable!! We will definitely stay here again if we head back to the area.

Quiet and beautiful

We loved the cabin! Clean,well stocked with items and the fireplace was relaxing. We loved exploring the nearby trails. The bluff in the backyard was fun to explore. Definitely can easily make a weekend trip and beyond. Will bring the kids next time! We will definitely be coming back!

Great QUIET getaway

Great location far enough off the beaten path to be SUPER quiet, but close enough to nearby attractions (dells - 20ish mins drive). Excellent communication with the property owner over a couple of minor issues (which were handled promptly). Will look into the availability of this specific property again for future needs.

Cabin @ Fairy Bluff

We couldn't have picked a more ideal place to stay for our stay exploring the Wisconsin Dells area. The cabin and property are beautiful and clean. We couldn't believe how quiet it is out there at night. The property also offers opportunities to watch wildlife along with great views of the night sky. The host, Joe, was very helpful with tips on our stay. Overall I would give the property a 9/10 and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Kind owners & clean for a pet friendly (we did not bring a pet). We greatly appreciated the array of movies, books, and games! I was surprised how many my family was interested in! I must have missed it in the listing, but there isn't a dishwasher. We usually wash dishes prior to using anyway, but this time it felt more necessary. (I.E. Cooking utensils in the crock on the counter were covered with a sticky/dust layer with visible pet hairs. When washing dishes, one of our dish cloths had multiple pet hairs in it, etc.) We ended up pre-washing the dish cloths so I could prewash the dishes, then we left the clean dishes in a pile on the island all week so they wouldn't get mixed with the others.Watch out for the deer antlers in the bathroom as a towel hook. My husband is 6'2"/6'3", he turned around after a shower one morning and it got him in the eye. The trail to Fairy Bluff wasn't what we expected. We thought that it would lead to an overlook of pretty landscaping not seen from the house. It is a steep climb through the woods that only overlooks the field in front of the house. We thought the firewood was included. It has a "suggested donation" on it. (Which we appreciate wasn't a hard price, but still a disappointment. We chose not to use it.) Overall, its a cozy place in the country. It was a nice stay. If you are from the country like us, its less impressive but still worth staying. If you're from the city and looking to get away, it would be a great choice.

Love the cabin it was so cute. It was clean and we loved the location. It was secluded but not far from attractions, restaurants or stores. Our dogs loved the outdoors since they don't get out much in the city. The neighbors down the road seemed nice. They waved whenever they came down the road which was only a couple times. It was exactly what we were looking for.

City dwellers who needed regular escapes to the country! We love to travel foreign and domestic, but our happy place is at The Bear's Den! We have two crazy pups that love to run around and sniff up all the new smells.

Why they chose this property

Authentic log cabin on a peaceful, quiet road. The most unique aspect is the backyard - our own slice of Fairy Bluff with hiking trails and a fire pit at the base, tucked into the woods. Plenty of wildlife, sunsets, peace.
