About this property
A-Frame Escape, Riverfront + Fire Pit w/ Sauna
Escape to this cozy A-Frame on the Rock River with 100 ft of private frontage. Relax around a gas fire table, or wood fire pit, grill out on the deck, or sip coffee at the bistro table. Inside, enjoy a loft bedroom, full kitchen, and modern comforts. At the end of your day you can enjoy a seat in the sauna. Perfect for a peaceful retreat, yet close to Madison, Milwaukee, wineries, hiking, and much, much more!
