About this property

Sandwood Cottage on WI River-Huge Weekly and Monthly Discounts!

Fully furnished vacation cottage, located on the lower Wisconsin Riverway. UNWIND by taking a short walk down our path to our private Wisconsin River shoreline. RELAX, have a seat and feel the calm of the river flowing while you enjoy a fire in the pit and take in the sunset. Pause by the pond fed by an artesian spring trickling over the rock ledges. Think deeply as you walk the labyrinth. Identify the species of birds in the sanctuary or catch a glimpse of eagles, white pelicans, geese, turtles, deer and much more. ENJOY the creation around you.

Originally, this cottage was an Army officer's barracks at Truax Field, Madison, WI during WWII. It was moved to this Wisconsin River location in the 1970s. A family lived here until it was renovated in 2006 as a vacation rental.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Awesome countryside retreat with an amazing backyard right on the river. We all had a blast, especially the kids, who were able to detach from the screens and forget about phones and TVs. Would recommend to any family looking for a quite nature getaway. We'll definitely be back!

If you’re looking for shiny new, modern, and sleek you won’t find it here. It your looking for homy cozy comfort you’ve found it. This is a nicely remodeled house with everything we needed. Clean, safe and all in working order. The owner was super responsive answering questions. If you’re looking for local food try Drift Bake House or Base Camp in Mazomanie or Cordelia’s Sweetshop for amazing “sin”Ammon rolls in Sauk City.

Cabin on the Wisconsin River

The cabin was nice - not spectacular, but definitely comfortable, and affordably priced. A short path in the back led to a chairs and a fire pit on the river shore. We couldn't ask for more for the price.

Peaceful, beautiful river getaway

A wonderful getaway retreat on the Wisconsin River. The cabin is snug and cozy, with great access to a little piece of the Wisconsin River. If you want to go to Spring Green or Madison, you can easily do so, but if you want to just sit by the river and see gorgeous sunsets, you can easily do that, too. The property owner was easy to communicate with and helpful. Strong recommend.

Cozy Comfort on the Wisconsin River

My partner, dog, and I had a wonderful stay! The cottage was comfortable and met our needs. The property is beautiful, and we loved the access to the river with our kayaks. Mazomonie and Sauk City are cute little towns to explore with some really good food! (Highly recommend Green Acres for a supper club experience and The Old Feed Mill for some cool ambience .)

Two bedroom house on a Wisconsin River property.

The place was very clean, had two bedrooms with very comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, and a nice bathroom with a clean shower. It is a little bit of a walk down to see the river, but there is a very nicely mowed lawn area and 4 Adirondack chairs, and a big fire pit. There's a bunch of firewood very close to the fire pit. I met Travis, he was very nice. I recommend this place!!!

Cute cottage

The cottage is as described, small but efficient, and nicely decorated. Kitchen is tiny, living room is lovely, good space, nice fireplace, although I stayed in August so no fireplace necessary. The property was really nice, with trails cut into the woods down to the riverbank. Unfortunately for my timing, the mosquitoes were awful, so I only took this trek twice. It's just a few minutes to Sauk City, and a very nice restaurant, Green Acres is very close.
