Owl's Roost - Romantic Retreat - Dog Friendly

If life has been loud lately, this is your place to exhale.

Owl's Roost Cabin sits within Sandstone Rustic Retreat’s private, six acre nature‑forward boutique resort in Wisconsin Dells, designed for couples who want more stars, fewer people, and space to truly reconnect.

Pine‑lined trails. A raised boardwalk through a sandstone canyon to the river. Evenings around the fire. Slow mornings with fresh roasted coffee. And yes — your well‑behaved pup is
welcome, too.

Your Cabin

Owl's Roost is a thoughtfully appointed one-bedroom cabin designed for quiet connection and simple comfort.

Inside, a comfortable queen bed with soft, hotel-quality sheets and layered blankets invites slow mornings and unhurried evenings. Warm bedside lighting creates an intimate glow, while the uncluttered layout keeps the space calm and easy to settle into.

The kitchenette is well-equipped for real meals — perfect for breakfast together, a relaxed dinner in, or wine and appetizers before heading to the fire. It offers everything you need to cook comfortably, without the footprint of a full kitchen.

Luxury here isn’t about excess.
It’s about comfort, quiet, and time together. Everything you need with nothing competing for your attention.

Many couples tell us they didn’t realize how much they needed this until they spent a couple days together, uninterrupted.


The Property

Sandstone is a nature‑forward retreat created for a couples, experience crafted for intentional time away — and for small groups who want to gather without the noise of a
commercial resort.

Across six wooded acres you’ll find four private cabins, a king suite cottage, and Dells Domes, our signature glamping dome collection. With additional accommodations planned, capacity increases to 12+ units, with a total capacity of 30-36 people by Summer 2026. The property layout is spacious by design, so everything feels peaceful, never crowded, even at full occupancy.

More Stars… Less People.

Two communal fire areas invite connection — a covered deck with a gas firepit and a green‑space wood fire beneath an open sky.

The covered outdoor cooking space is designed for relaxed camp meals in any season, with versatile grilling options and comfortable seating — ideal for slow evenings, rainy afternoons, or cooking together without rushing.

Frozen pizzas, small‑batch handmade ice cream, and ice are available for purchase, so you don’t have to leave for a late‑night snack.

At the heart of the property is the Gathering House, open daily from 6:00am to 12:00am. Self service café‑level espresso drinks, alongside flavored coffees, teas, apple cider, and hot chocolate — with whole milk and sweet cream provided. Sandstone features locally roasted Bella Goose beans and premium syrups to create a delicious cup that starts your morning off just right. You’ll also find several comfortable seating areas, extensive selection of board games, a guitar, fast WiFi, a microwave, and the thoughtful essentials you might need but forgot to pack — from sunblock to dental floss picks — are available if needed.


Curated Beverage Experiences

Guests may pre‑order from our curated beverage menu featuring local favorites and seasonal selections.

Orders are prepared in advance and placed in a branded cooler, ready at check‑in or delivered directly to your cabin. Private bar experiences may also be arranged with advance notice.

Intentional experiences are best planned ahead. (Please message us for more details)

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.

Challenge each other to a little friendly competition with backyard favorites like ladder ball, bean bag toss, and life-size Jenga — or just kick back and enjoy the slower pace of cabin life. You can also unwind in our clear mini dome, the perfect cozy spot to sip your favorite beverage, play a game, or simply relax and soak in the peaceful surroundings together.

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.

At Sandstone, we believe your time here should feel effortless. While we respect your privacy, we’re always available with intentional, concierge-style service to help you make the most of your stay.

Before arrival, we’ll work with you to plan experiences — from arranging kayak rentals or private dining to suggesting the perfect local spots for dinner, drinks, or hidden gems most visitors never find. During your stay, our team is on hand at scheduled times to deliver beverages, coordinate add-on services, or simply check in to ensure everything is just right.

Many guests love the chance to start their mornings with coffee and conversation with the founders, a tradition that makes Sandstone mornings feel personal and memorable. And when you want to explore beyond the retreat, our local connections mean you’ll have access to authentic experiences and recommendations that go far beyond a standard guidebook.

At Sandstone, interaction isn’t about being available “at the drop of a hat” — it’s about being thoughtful, personal, and intentional so every moment of your stay feels curated and unforgettable.
