If life has been loud lately, this is your place to exhale. Bears Den Cabin sits within Sandstone Rustic Retreat’s private, six acre nature‑forward boutique resort in Wisconsin Dells, designed for couples who want more stars, fewer people, and space to truly reconnect. Pine‑lined trails. A raised boardwalk through a sandstone canyon to the river. Evenings around the fire. Slow mornings with fresh roasted coffee. And yes — your well‑behaved pup is welcome, too.

Good to know

Your Cabin Bears Den is a thoughtfully appointed one-bedroom cabin designed for quiet connection and simple comfort. Inside, a comfortable queen bed with soft, hotel-quality sheets and layered blankets invites slow mornings and unhurried evenings. Warm bedside lighting creates an intimate glow, while the uncluttered layout keeps the space calm and easy to settle into. The kitchenette is well-equipped for real meals — perfect for breakfast together, a relaxed dinner in, or wine and appetizers before heading to the fire. It offers everything you need to cook comfortably, without the footprint of a full kitchen. Luxury here isn’t about excess. It’s about comfort, quiet, and time together. Everything you need with nothing competing for your attention. Many couples tell us they didn’t realize how much they needed this until they spent a couple days together, uninterrupted. The Property Sandstone is a nature‑forward retreat created for a couples‑first experience crafted for intentional time away — and for small groups who want to gather without the noise of a commercial resort. Across six wooded acres you’ll find four private cabins, a king suite cottage, and Dells Domes, our signature glamping dome collection. With additional accommodations planned, capacity increases to 12+ units, with a total capacity of 30-36 people by Summer 2026. The property layout is spacious by design, so everything feels peaceful, never crowded, even at full occupancy. More Stars… Less People. Your Experience *Wander forest trails through whispering pines. *Stroll the sandstone canyon boardwalk to our private dock on the quiet backwaters of the Wisconsin River. *Watch the sunrise. *Sit. *Breathe. *Be present. Two communal fire areas invite connection — a covered deck with a gas firepit and a green‑space wood fire beneath an open sky. The covered outdoor cooking space is designed for relaxed camp meals in any season, with versatile grilling options and comfortable seating — ideal for slow evenings, rainy afternoons, or cooking together without rushing. Frozen pizzas, small‑batch handmade ice cream, and ice are available for purchase, so you don’t have to leave for a late‑night snack. At the heart of the property is the Gathering House, open daily from 6:00am to 12:00am. Self service café‑level espresso drinks, alongside flavored coffees, teas, apple cider, and hot chocolate — with whole milk and sweet cream provided. Sandstone features locally roasted Bella Goose beans and premium syrups to create a delicious cup that starts your morning off just right. You’ll also find several comfortable seating areas, extensive selection of board games, a guitar, fast WiFi, a microwave, and the thoughtful essentials you might need but forgot to pack — from sunblock to dental floss picks — are available if needed. Curated Beverage Experiences Guests may pre‑order from our curated beverage menu featuring local favorites and seasonal selections. Orders are prepared in advance and placed in a branded cooler, ready at check‑in or delivered directly to your cabin. Private bar experiences may also be arranged with advance notice. Intentional experiences are best planned ahead. (Please message us for more details) Your Location Perfectly Secluded. Perfectly Located. Just 1.8 miles from downtown Wisconsin Dells and I‑90/94. Minutes from Lake Delton and all the major attractions and restaurants in the area, Mirror Lake State Park and the famous Ishnala Supper Club. Devil’s Lake is a short 15 minute drive. Close enough for convenience. Far enough for peace. Planning something larger? Sandstone currently hosts up to 26 guests and will expand to 30-36 as new accommodations come online. Ask about multi‑unit bookings or full‑property stays.

Guest Access

Guests are welcome to explore all six acres of Sandstone Rustic Retreat. The Gathering House (open 6:00am–12:00am) is the heart of the property — a cozy space for coffee at sunrise, conversation by the fire, or unwinding at the end of the day. Alongside espresso and tea, we offer a curated drink menu highlighting local flavors — from Wisconsin Old Fashioneds to regional brews. Beverages are available by request and can be delivered to your cabin or picked up at the bar to enjoy anywhere on the property. Private bar experiences can also be arranged prior to your stay (additional charge). Many mornings, the founders join guests for coffee and conversation, a tradition that makes Sandstone mornings memorable. Outdoors, the covered deck, grilling station, and communal firepit are designed for effortless connection. Propane, utensils, glassware, and dishware are provided — just bring your favorite ingredients and beverages to enjoy a meal under the stars. Challenge each other to a little friendly competition with backyard favorites like ladder ball, bean bag toss, and life-size Jenga — or just kick back and enjoy the slower pace of cabin life. You can also unwind in our clear mini dome, the perfect cozy spot to sip your favorite beverage, play a game, or simply relax and soak in the peaceful surroundings together. Trails wind through the pines, and a raised boardwalk leads to our private dock on the Wisconsin River — perfect for sunrise coffee, fishing, or simply taking in the view. Seasonally, the No Wake Zone dock bar welcomes guests and river travelers on summer weekends. In winter, the Gathering House occasionally hosts intimate speakeasy nights — rare, unforgettable evenings you’ll want to experience if your stay aligns.

Tanya and Cale were amazing hosts. From personalized handwritten notes welcoming us to their cabin to little treats spread throughout the cabin to the immaculate cabin itself, our stay was perfect. We had a great time chatting with and getting to know Tanya and Cale. Looking forward to a future stay!

Tanya and Cale were amazing as they greeted us when we arrived and welcomed us to their beautiful place (even though we were later than expected on checking in). Wonderfully decorated cabin and exactly what was needed for a very peaceful trip. Thank you for being such great hosts! Tricia

Tanya and Cale were excellent hosts! We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully remodeled and updated 1 bed, 1 bath cabin named The Bear’s Den. The property is *extremely* clean and well-maintained, with a quiet, peaceful setting right on the scenic Wisconsin River. It’s also truly dog-friendly, which was incredibly important to us. The location is perfect—close to town yet tucked away enough to feel like a getaway, and ideal for kayaking. The hosts were kind, helpful, and available if needed, but never intrusive. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and pet-friendly retreat!

I had such a wonderful stay at this peaceful cabin in nature. The setting was serene and exactly what I needed to unwind—quiet, surrounded by greenery, and full of charm. What really stood out was how immaculately clean everything was—truly spotless, which made the stay even more relaxing. The host was incredibly nice and accommodating, making sure everything was just right. The listing description was completely accurate, and honestly, the place exceeded expectations. It had everything you could hope for in a nature getaway Airbnb. Highly recommend!
