Rocky Glen Condo - forest nest on Baraboo bluff

One bit of change advised me by Vrbo:
Vrbo now collects from you the Wisconsin State and Sauk County and Town of Merrimac tax of 12.5%.
The taxes are on the room rate only...per night.
___________________________________________________________________
Unit 4 is perched amongst a canopy of oak and birch trees - coffee on the balcony in the company of leaves and branches over 2-stories from the ground! Unit 4 is one of eight condominiums in a building nestled amongst a mature birch/oak forest with glimpses over the Lake Wisconsin valley. Casual, whimsical, bright furnishing. Italian ceramic floor in bath. New step-in rainfall shower. Woodburning stove insert in the original, beautiful, stone fireplace. Small firepit outside for quiet summer/fall eves; or hearty-folks roasting s'mores in winter.
Lovely, oiled-teakwood laminate floors LR and Hall - new faux-wood laminate in kitchen and bedrooms. You may find yourself resting on a pillowcase embroidered by my Cornish grandmother; or snuggled under a quilt made of squares of men's suit material; or find pencil drawings sent from the trenches of WWI from grandpa Pengelly (Tom) to grandma Pengelly (Olivia) in Cornwall.
Poke about...little surprises all over.
AND...and whole bass fiddle case of books presiding over the living room!

Wildlife sightings - deer, turkey, raccoon, owl, and birds of all sorts fly over or walk through these remarkable surrounds. Marvelous earthrise and earthsets. I think the trees up here talk.

Parfrey's Glen official entrance is a 20-minute walk away. Devil's Lake is a 10-minute ride. Devil's Head Ski/Golf Resort is 200 yards down Bluff Road. Quaint Merrimac FREE ferry (seasonal). Cascade Mountain Ski/Snowboarding or Wollersheim Winery/Sauk City - 20-minute ride. Attraction notebook available in unit.

There are several new distilleries under construction in Baraboo...and Vintage Brewery is up and going in nearby Sauk City/Prairie du Sac area.

Plenty of QUIET. Noise restriction after 11p. You could write your book here! Remarkable views. Friendly condo neighbors.

Keywords: Condominium - Rocky Glen is about 300 yards up Bluff Road and on the opposite side of the entrance to Devil's Head Ski and Golf Resort

End of summer get-away
This was a lovely place to stay. So close to many things to do in the area yet nice and quiet here. The host was very helpful and provided suggestions for things to do in the area as well.

Tree house stay
I loved staying at Rocky Glen. The condo had everything you need, including a well stocked kitchen. It was like staying in a treehouse. Lesleigh was a wonderful host and I enjoyed all the family history in the condo.

Pictures are not doing it justice
The house is much cuter than the pictures - that's kind of rare! Lots of details in the decors and designs - many interesting little things you can explore and look at. Very roomy for a 4-people stay. Super quiet and cozy. Very closed to Devils' Lake which was why we were there!

Family get away
Fishing and hiking around Devils lake area with family. Lesleigh was a terrific hostess and greeted us upon arrival. Also was very responsive during our stay. The condo is well kept and well furnished. Beautiful area with a lush forest surrounding and close to so many natural attractions. Would stay here again without hesitation.

Best host, with the loveliest place
From the host’s greeting to the CDs and books to the treetop view to the artwork the condo is a lovely seclusion from the daily grind. Everything is set up for a warm and thoughtful retreat. This was our second visit, and not our last.

Outstanding accommodations and service
The condo was just as charming as the photos indicated, and there was no noise from the other units. The host went way above-and-beyond in accommodating us, even to the point of shipping to us clothing that we had left behind. Best short-term rental experience we've had.
