Our family loved this camping site, absolutely beautiful!! Having coffee while watching the sunrise was my favorite part. Our boys played soccer, went fishing and swimming. Our dogs have never had so much fun! Seth was a great host and we will definitely stay here again.

Great experience! Had our own secluded side of the island. Great spot, had plenty of shallow swimming holes to choose from. The dogs had loads of sandy beach to run on. Seth was more than helpful. On our second day he checked on us to see if we needed anything. We ran a bit low on ice so he delivered us some with his jet boat. I’d do it again

Weekend Trip to Bear Hill

We had a wonderful time glamping in the Love Shack! The weather was hot, then rainy most of the weekend unfortunately so we didn’t get to spend as much time at the property as we wanted to. It was great to be 15 min from the Dells, so we took advantage of that more than anticipated. The Love Shack has A/C which was amazing. The setting is peaceful, and we loved getting to hang out with the goats - shoutout to George. Sheri and Kevin were fantastic hosts, making sure we had everything we needed and offering help. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with great hosts and a bit of country charm, this place is definitely worth considering!

My girlfriends and I had a great time! Kevin and Sheri were so friendly. The love shack was very comfortable, and had everything we needed. Our dogs loved running around the property. Nice get away from the dells which is only a 15 minute drive.

The goats! They stayed mostly penned up during our stay except when our lovely hosts let them out to wander under supervision, which was great for us to get to interact with them :)

Weekend Trip to Bear Hill

Amazing experience!! Sheri and Kevin were wonderful hosts, they checked in and made sure we had what we needed and answered any questions we had. They have pretty much everything you could think of related to camping activities and necessities. From board games to a fire tripod for cooking to firewood and lawn chairs. Really took the stress out of the experience for us. Their goats are so cute and friendly too! We really enjoyed the little hot tub and how cozy the cabin is. The location is great, it feels very private and secluded but it’s only about 10-15 minutes from the main area of the Dells and a Walmart. Sheri made sure to let us know that they were flexible with check out times, and they were overall very accommodating hosts! Would happily come stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Bear Hill

Man we had a great time! Our trip was slightly different from most of the reviews, we had a fairly packed itinerary family vacation and used bear hill as our home base, we were out and about most of the time and *even* still we loved the hospitality and ended up wishing we had planned down time to hang out. Extremely nice people when we did manage to find some time to talk. They were also wonderful at just giving us our space and making the whole thing feel very private and safe while still being accessible (via phone) if we needed anything. *EVERYTHING* IS PROVIDED, from sheets/comforters, soap, dishes and cookware, to bug spray, hell they even had toys and glow sticks for our kiddo. Honestly we over packed quite a bit as a precaution but genuinely you could bring only clothes and food and be set, they went out of their way to provide all the supplies and conveniences. 15m drive to the dells, and as a bonus you get to turn north on highway 12/I-90alt and immediately leave the traffic behind 🤌 Don't trust Google maps for the address, follow their instructions. Thank you so much Kevin and Sherri, can't wait to see you guys again!

Seth was incredibly kind and helpful with our stay. The property is beautiful and my kids said that it looks like fairies live there. We camped over Mother’s Day weekend and it was exactly what we needed and wanted.

Weekend Trip to Sandstone Rustic Retreat

Absolutely loved our stay at Sandstone! Location was ideal, close to everything but tucked away and peaceful. We rented one of the glamping domes. Did not anticipate how comfortable and private they would feel. Waking up to a beautiful morning in the woods while still in bed was like no experience we've had before. There is so much attention to detail throughout the property. Tanya and Cale clearly put their hearts into building something special here. We are definitely returning for another stay this year.

The domes were such a unique experience. The snow falling and being in the woods felt like you were in a snow globe. The property is so beautiful. We loved the walk to the water and the hiking path on the property. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a getaway to disconnect!
