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
Dog Policy: We are a dog-friendly property with two designated cabins. If your pup is joining you: Your dog must be listed in the reservation. If there isn’t an option to include them, please communicate with us prior to arrival. We need to know when dogs will be on property to plan appropriately. Dogs must be leashed on the property. They may not be left unattended in your cabin unless securely kenneled. Proof of vaccination should be available if requested. You are responsible for any damage or injury caused by your dog to the property, other guests, or their pets. Please pick up after your dog and dispose of waste in outdoor garbage cans. Only well-behaved dogs are welcome. If your dog barks excessively or disrupts other guests, it must be addressed immediately. If barking is not controlled, guests may be asked to leave the property and forfeit the remainder of their stay. We encourage you to carefully consider whether bringing a dog will enhance or detract from your experience (and others’). Bringing a pet simply to avoid kennel costs is not a reason to stay with us. We have worked very hard to create a place that is free of distractions and encourages deeper connections and conversations. While we love our fur friends, we also want to honor guests seeking a peaceful escape (and some who may be fearful of dogs). Please understand that our dog policy is designed so that all guests can feel welcome, comfortable, and able to fully enjoy Sandstone. Swimming: No swimming allowed. The Wisconsin River is unpredictable, with strong currents, unseen obstructions, and tangle hazards under the surface. Seasonal Experiences: The No Wake Zone dock bar is open on summer weekends (June–August). In 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: Our cabins are close to each other. For the enjoyment of all, we strictly enforce quiet hours from 11pm–8am.

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.
