Gabe's secret cottage is a lovely place! It is well appointed with supplies for a group larger than the four of us that stayed there. We didn't make meals, but easily could have with the well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed having a fire in the fire pit out back. There is some road noise if you are outside but could not hear it indoors. The "she shed/man cave" is a nice place to get some me time. Conveniently close to the Dell's/Baraboo area attractons. Lots of seating in the living room, comfy beds, a bathroom for each bedroom. We felt right at home. Gabe let us know that we could check in early if desired which was kind of him and made our travels easier.Thanks for hosting us,Lenore and Mike

The family stayed here while vacationing in the Dells. Location is pretty convenient to get to all of the things we did while here. The property was clean and communication with the host was good. We had 5 adults and 1 child and were able to enjoy our time.

Great place to stay!

The Secret Cottage was exactly as it was described! A lovely home stocked with everything you could ask for and more. 7 of us stayed there but 9 more family members stopped over for a cook out and there was plenty of room for all. Really loved the “shed” in the backyard. We had a great time and would not be afraid to stay here again!

Hidden Gem

Stayed her for a golfing trip with some friends, I must say the place is very accommodating to large groups of people. The property is unique with an outdoor bar, plenty of room in the backyard for games. The check-in process was very smooth and Gabe was cool about everything. Would definitely stay here again in the future!

Met up with my girlfriend and her kids and this was perfect spot close to Dells. Secluded with outdoor space in back. Even in the winter it was nice to stay. I would suggest adding a hot tub in the chill shed for extra amenity
