You'll love the cozy living spaces on both the upper and lower levels. Step out onto the balcony to take in the wooded view, or gather around the fire pit in the backyard for a relaxing evening.

Amazing

The Ranger Station is a great place to stay when visiting West Bend. The location gives privacy at night but located in a park with many available daytime activities. Close to numerous stores for any needed items. Also close to Old Downtown, an easily wallable area with many stores and great restaurants. It was our second time renting and will definitely rent here again.

Very Good Experience

Everything about the stay was good, although the instructions for how to find the house were confusing as the house was inside a park with other buildings with the same address. I also suggest including contact phone numbers on the advance instructions. Since no numbers were provided in advance, I emailed to get a phone number just in case and none was provided.

Missing some things

We had yet another perfect-weather weekend and enjoyed the firepit each day. Traffic bond has been added over the past several years, making it safer and more comfortable to sit around. Josh Hamm organized a Space Race Disc Golf round, hugely aporeciated by our family. The items that spell "Welcome" were orovided 5 years ago and are no longer. We ran out of TP - no extra rolls.No kitchen towels, no dishcloths or facecloths, few hand towels. No bedding for the futon; no extra bedding at all, such as the blankets, throws, and couch cover for a pet. Also no kleenex was provided

great spot

This ranger house is in a beautiful location and with 2.5 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms plus extra space, it is perfect for a family or group. Everything was very clean. The location in the park/woods is lovely. Our only issues were that there was no dish soap or dishwasher soap left for us.

Disc golf weekend

This is an annual event for us now. Everyone enjoys the disc golf course and the trails. We have also lucked out with beautiful weather the past two years and have spent hours around the fire, playing croquet and tossing footballs with the kids.

Sandy Knoll Wedding Use

We used the house to assist with storage and a place to get dressed for a wedding held at The Barn at Sandy Knoll. The groomsmen were able to get ready at the house while the ladies were getting ready at the barn. It was very helpful to have the space. I highly recommend it.

Sandy Knoll Ranger Home

A wonderful and quiet place to relax and unwind. The home is clean and spacious, with a large outdoor wooded yard. Convenient to West Bend and all the amenities of the county park. Our pup also loved being close to the dog park where she met many new friends.

Good location

It was so nice to be able to stay just one minute away from the barn that we had our daughter’s wedding in. Very roomy for the groomsmen to spread out and get ready for the day. Beds for 7 but could have fit seven more on air mattresses if needed. Nothing fancy at all just convenient and big! Very friendly staff too😀

Plenty of space

We had a great time visiting family over the fourth. This is a great option with a playground and dog park within walking distance. We went to the dog park daily. The grounds of the house had plenty of shade and a picnic table. The trees are perfect distance for putting up a hammock or two! We didn’t use the fire pit, but it looked very nice. Plenty of dishes in the large kitchen as well as a dining table. Only negatives were very minimal, there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher, which was a quick fix and there were no kids channels on the tv. Other than those very small items, everything else was perfect! We had a great time.

Always a good time at the Ranger House

Our 2nd stay. First one was in winter. Early summer was wonderful! Great home for an extended family visit with lots of elbow room. Glad there were patio chairs. Enjoyed evenings on the deck, the fire pit and disc golf. Loads of towels and dishes of all types. The toilets and the kitchen sink were not clean at check in, but there were cleaning supplies on hand for me to take care of that. Check out list was reasonable: sweep, wipe surfaces, run dishwasher and take out trash.

Ranger House West Bend Wi

Very relaxing stay Sam the property manager was excellent and helpful. Television was extremely difficult to operate as well as WIFI. Needs curtains and blinds on sliding door for privacy. Beyond this very well maintained grounds and so convenient to West Bend. I added a night and having a problem trying to pay for last night. We plan on returning if these issues can be resolved.
