✦ Deer Ridge Cabin – More Than a Stay, It’s an Experience Deer Ridge isn’t just a stay — it’s an escape. For couples seeking more stars, less people, this secluded retreat on 6 private acres offers trails, a canyon walkway to the river, and cozy spaces for connection. From a delightful latte in the Gathering House to stargazing around a firepit, every detail is designed for unforgettable moments. This isn’t for everyone — but if you want intimate, intentional, and real, this is it.

Good to know

Welcome to Sandstone Rustic Retreat, a boutique destination designed for couples who value connection, quiet, and something truly different in the Wisconsin Dells. Just 1.8 miles from downtown, yet worlds away from the crowds, our six-acre property offers more stars, less people — an intentional space to unplug and rediscover what matters most. Our retreat features four thoughtfully remodeled cabins (each designed for couples), a cozy studio cottage, and four unique glamping domes. Every space blends rustic charm with modern comfort, giving you privacy while inviting you to explore the property together. At the heart of Sandstone is the Gathering House — a converted tavern now serving as a cozy community space with coffee, espresso, tea, WiFi, games, and fireside seating. Step outside to a covered deck, grilling area, and communal firepit perfect for conversations under the stars. In summer, our No Wake Zone dock bar welcomes river travelers on weekends, and in winter, the Gathering House transforms into an intimate speakeasy night a few times a month — a rare and unforgettable experience if your stay aligns. Wander the trails through whispering pines, follow our raised boardwalk through a sandstone canyon, and emerge at the crown jewel: a private dock on the quiet backwaters of the Wisconsin River. Here you’ll find breathtaking views, excellent fishing, and the kind of peaceful beauty you won’t find in town. More than a place to stay, Sandstone is a place to experience. Whether you’re sipping wine in a dome, sharing coffee on the deck, paddling the river in a kayak, or gathering friends for a private meal, every detail has been designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories.

Other Details to Note

Pet Policy: The Deer Ridge Cabin is not dog friendly. If you’d like to travel with your pup, we do offer two dog-friendly cabins where pets stay free. Please see our other listings for availability. Seasonal Experiences: The No Wake Zone dock bar is open on summer weekends (June–August). During winter (January–April), the Gathering House occasionally transforms into an intimate speakeasy night — a rare and unforgettable experience if your stay aligns. Concierge Services: Many of our curated add-ons (wellness sessions, private dining, transportation, etc.) require advance notice. As with anything worthwhile, it takes planning — we can’t make magic happen last-minute, but when you plan ahead, unforgettable experiences await. Community Atmosphere: While your cabin is fully private, Sandstone is also a retreat community. Guests often gather at the firepit, enjoy morning coffee in the Gathering House, or cross paths on the trails — making it easy to connect if you wish, and retreat if you don’t.

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. 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.

We had a wonderful time, wish we could have stayed longer! The cabin was so peaceful & the perfect place to unplug from work & busy city life. If you are on the fence just book it, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you for hosting us Tanya & Cale!

Even though I had less than 24 hrs at this divine spot, I received everything I needed for one night- feeling quite at home. Stargazing was marvelous, I made some great pictures at night. There’s a porch by the guest house that I wanted to explore, but I had no time. Will come back if opportunity arises ❤️

Cale and Tanya were so kind and attentive and just joyful to work with. It’s clear how much love has gone into Sandstone. Our stay and experience was fantastic! We would definitely come back. The place was so beautifully quiet and just a super short ride down to the busy Dells downtown. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. And their wedding venue has the most beautiful back drop. An ideal space for a special outdoor wedding! All the best to Cale and Tanya!

Tanya and Cale were great hosts! We stayed in a beautiful cabin. It was like new and decorated very well. Gathering house and covered patio were great. We bought steaks and grilled on the patio. They had everything we needed. We checked out one of the domes which was amazing. Close to nature and far from roughing it. Great dock on the river. We didn’t kayak but they looked nice. Just a beautiful property with great attention to detail in making it a great experience. A great find!!

What a great place! We couldn't believe we found a place so quiet and peaceful, yet so close to the Dells! Tanya and Cale were great, excellent communication and eager to help with anything we needed. Loved the cabin and the whole property - great place to unplug and relax, we'll definitely be back!

I booked there for my girlfriend’s birthday over the weekend and it was nothing short of a great experience from start to finish! I wanted to do something special there for my girlfriend and Tanya went out of her way to get a charcuterie board, wine, cake and even flowers to welcome my girlfriend and she was in tears, it was so beautiful. I booked a cabin originally and we slept in there one night, it was exactly what we expected, however, they had domes for rent and those were also available, so we asked to stay in one for the next night and they allowed us. We got to set up a fire, enjoyed and long trail walk (beautiful) and a lake that was gorgeous right just beneath the site. We will definitely be going back, this was an amazing experience, thank you Tanya and Cale
