Step into a storybook Victorian home bursting with charm, space, and things to do! With 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths, there’s room for everyone to spread out—two bedrooms even have private bathrooms for a little extra privacy. Cozy up with a book in one of the multiple sitting rooms, lounge in a swing on the wrap-around porch, enjoy a movie in the private theater room (complete with a popcorn and candy station), or gather for a game night — all at the same time! With quirky decor, period furniture, and playful touches around every corner, this is a home made for laughter, fun, and unforgettable memories. Start your mornings at our stocked coffee bar and then head out to explore. You’re just two blocks from downtown Baraboo, where the town square comes alive with seasonal fairs, and the historic Ringling Theater hosts live performances. Devil’s Lake is only 5 minutes away for swimming, boating, picnics, and hiking. For extra thrills, Wisconsin Dells is 15 minutes away, and winter fun awaits at Cascade Mountain. Perfect for family reunions, group getaways, or multi-generational trips, this Victorian gem blends historic charm with big-family fun. Pack your bags, grab the kids, and let the adventure begin!

The property is amazing. My wife said her only wish was that we could’ve spent more time at the house! We had a full schedule so we didn’t spend much time at the house.
