Labor Day Weekend 2024

We had a wonderful time staying at the Park View Schoolhouse! It was an excellent place to celebrate our son’s 3rd birthday with his grandparents. This location had the perfect number of amenities and ample parking. We enjoyed the vicinity to the park and brewery too!

High quality home

The home is charming and has higher end finishings. Bright and cheerful main room. Nice solid furniture, comfy couches. TV’s everywhere. This place has room to spread out. Screened in porch was an awesome option for dining and morning coffee, you can even enjoy the campfire without the mosquitoes. We enjoyed our stay. The loft can get pretty hot so make sure to use the ceiling fans. Plenty of towels for our large group. Kitchen was well stocked. No dishwasher probably because the kitchen is a bit on the small side. nice big fridge. Temperature, like many homes,was cold downstairs and quite warm in the loft sleeping area.

Wonderful Devils Lake trip

We really enjoyed staying at the Schoolhouse. It is very close to Devils Lake and other fun places like wineries, Dr Evermore’s Sculpture Park and the Baraboo Candy Store. The house is clean and well stocked.

Like to keep this a secret

Such a great updated theme rental. We (mom, three sons and partners with one 4 year old) were all able to find our own spots in this historic schoolhouse. There was room to spare but we were all super comfortable. The gathering room with bar height table was a buffet, our dining and game central. BUT the room that made this trip was the screened porch. From morning til late night, someone was always out there. Having Devils lake literally down the road and other Baraboo stops made this 5 day vacation so memorable. We never even went into the Dells. Our extended family came in for a reunion of 27 who gathered at the lake then came for dinner and trivia in the evening. We heard some envious comments about our little secret find. We will be returning. There is no dishwasher, but that’s what we call special family time!

Devils Lake vacation

The schoolhouse was a perfect spot for our annual Devils Lake vacation. We loved how much space there is for relaxing and having fun as a family. We cooked several meals and the kitchen had every utensil. Eating meals on the screened porch was a treat. The 30-second drive to the Devils Lake entrance was as short as you can ask for. We all agreed we would love to stay here again.

Perfect family vacation home

We loved our stay at the Devils Lake School House! It was the perfect home for our vacation and was exactly as described. Our favorite part was the screen porch where we started and ended each day. I had my kids, my Mom, and my sister's family and there was plenty of room for all of us. The owner was very responsive and super easy to work with. I would highly recommend this house and would stay there again.

Perfect Location

Perfect location to enjoy all Baraboo and Wisconsin Dells has to offer. We hiked Devils Lake and the Riverfront in the Dells. Enjoyed visiting and eating at Driftless Glen, Ishnala and Tumbled Rock. The covered porch at the schoolhouse was especially great for our gatherings. The schoolhouse is well accommodated and the owners were extremely responsive to our needs. Highly recommend the Devils Lake Schoolhouse.

Ski Trip Weekender

My group and I had a wonderful time at the Schoolhouse. The place is spacious for a large group, and can sleep a small army. Less than a 15 minute drive to Devils Head, this is a great option for people who do not want to stay in the outdated resort. The property manager/owners were easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The kitchen is small, but manageable. Overall, a very enjoyable experience in an awesome location!

Awesome location, unique remodel

The remodel and expansion of this old schoolhouse was so much fun and had great spaces to eat and talk for a large family. We all had a good place to sleep as well. Best of all, everyone was motivated to walk and run through Devils Lake State Park because it was so convenient. Highly recommend!

Great location, cute house!

Such a cute place and perfect location for visiting Devils Lake. We loved the front porch. Basement sleeping area was a bit damp and cool, but teenagers didn't mind. Walked to Tumbled Rock for dinner 2 nights in a row. It was amazing. Would definitely stay again!!! Thank you.

Devil's Lake schoolhouse

The house was much bigger than we expected! Very comfy for our group of 11. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was a 5 minute bike ride to Devil's Lake. We took a day trip to the Dells which was 20 minutes by car.

Awesome place!

The house was perfect for all our needs. We stayed 5 nights with 8 adults and 2 children. We played games at the huge table and put together puzzles on the bar top table. There were so many televisions throughout the house which was amazing. Very comfortable to hang out and the beds were comfy also. Best of all was the yard that you don't get when you stay at a hotel - we grilled and played outdoor games in the evening which was so fun! Location was perfect to activities in Baraboo and the Dells. Owner was super attentive whenever we had questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Weekend

The Devil's Lake School House is such a unique and comfortable place to stay - it was amazing being literally steps from the park and a quick drive from Baraboo (we had fun exploring both!) We enjoyed eating at the nearby Tumbled Rock Brewery as well. One thing to be aware of for anyone with little kids who go to bed early is that the live music from Tumbled Rock Brewery can be heard throughout the neighborhood at night, but the bands never played later than 9pm and the basement bedroom is a bit more insulated to sound - just something to check on the brewery schedule if that's a concern. The owners have done such a wonderful job of restoring this property, we didn't want to leave! Lots of great amenities and just such a lovely place to spend time as a family. We hope to be back soon!

Vacation 2023

We mostly wanted to be near Devils Lake while not being far from The Dells, and we nailed it. 6 adults and 4 kids fit perfectly, plenty of yard space for outdoor games, walking distance from a very fun brewery, and was equipped with everything we could've possibly needed. So clean, so cute, tvs everywhere. The host was amazing too. We definitely recommend this place.
